  • Опубликовано: 6 июл 2024
  • I've been flying the DJI Mini 3 Pro consistently for 6 months now. It has amazing specs and comes with a lot of features to be such a tiny drone. I've taken the Mini 3 Pro to many different places to test the camera quality. The video footage is far superior vs its' predecessor, the DJI Mini 2. It has a larger aperture which helps when filming at night. It also comes with different camera modes and with the right settings a beginner can get professional looking photo and videos.

    Chad, as a former broadcast TV director (I was working at a station in Detroit at the time), I have to tell you, this is by far and away the BEST video I've seen for the MP3. Everything from the open (which was very, very good, by the way, easily "network" quality (REAL networks, not the cable networks) to the subtle sound effects, the editing and writing, all of your production values are the standard every video here on RUclips should be judged against. If they'd have an Emmy for RUclips, you would have taken home several.
    That being said, thank you so much for the video. I picked up the MP3 a few weeks ago during Prime Days (me, and, apparently, the rest of the free world, lol). I've yet to send it into the air: I wanted to make sure I could fly it for at least a few minutes before my first crash! With any luck (and a great deal of practice) I hope to be as proficient of a pilot as you've demonstrated. Be Well, and again, thanks for this gorgeous, informative video. I'll be checking the rest of the out very soon. Until next time....

      Wow... thank you. I didn't know anything about editing in the beginning, but I learned a lot from YT over the past few years and spent a lot of time practicing. There's a lot of information out there, and I'm always learning something new. I still have a ways to go to where I want to be with my editing and presentation.
      Thanks for the kind words and feedback.

    Nice conclusive review of the mini 3 pro. It’s my first drone and I’ve had it about a month. We live in the same area and I’ve scouted or flown in some of the same locations as you. Just wondering if you’ve been able to fly in the state parks nearby particularly the one on the Potomac. I haven’t had any issues in the county parks but I always pick isolated locations. Keep posting, great work.

      None of the intelligent features were working. The camera was ok, but the flight performance is not great. Yeah, the tracking function may work now, but it took a year after the drone was released. I bought the Nano pre-sale and expected to have it fully work after a few firmware updates, but that wasn't the case.

    I received my Mini 3 Pro at Christmas, and I think the same as you... This is not the same drone from 6 months ago when it went on the market. It is a drone with great capabilities, with few details you can achieve good videos and high quality photos.
    The 48mp photo, I don't think there is something DJI should improve in the software, I think the 12mp photo is still a better option. But in format for photographs which you have seen that gives a better quality 4:3 or 16:9 ?

    Chad,,,quick question FAM,,, What's the longest hyper laps that can made???

      Not sure...it varies. It all depends on the battery life, shutter speed, and intervals you set. I was able to get a 15 sec hyperlapse based on the settings I had. This is something I need to explore.

    That is the way reviews should be done with video wright from the drone no editing. Because not everyone can edit the same .give it yo us streat from the drone no color editing. To give us a false impression great review looks like a great drone

    You're video editing is more interesting! I came here for the Mini 3 Pro review but I was blown away by your video. Can you do a tutorial? 😆 Great work!
