Outstanding test and demo. I’m sold on this drone. How many people will actually film in that kind of wind, such a small fraction of owners. People in comments say I rather have a bigger drone, in reality again such a small fraction people will film in the conditions you just did. So bigger or smaller not really a factor. This video showed more of impression of such a small compact, light weight portability drone, with excellent features. Best wind test video seen in any size drone.
How many people film in that kind of wind? A LOT! Everyone who lives near the ocean for starters. Ocean winds can be just as rough as what's in this video if no more so. And most cities and population actually are on coastlines. The Air 2S at a minimum if you live on the coast.
@@2Bluzin Really, A LOT, I never knew. I surf in So CA, and at 48 Km or 30 Mph in video he mentioned. I have never seen people on beach, or filming. We get 50 mph Santa Ana Winds here and it’s in pretty strong just never new a LOT of people go out and seek to fly in that condition. Never seen it. I can see different parts of the world where it’s windy all time, but out of 29 million drones sold in 2021 I would still think small percent seek fly in high winds. Never new A LOT.
Best windtest I’ve seen so far for the mini 3. Must be nice to live so near that fantastic scenary and be good with drones! Very nice video! Thank you.
Can’t believe the capability of this drone. It has totally cannibalised my Mavic 2 Pro! Buzzing to get mine 😁 Great review as always! And yes, I might have laughed at your expense in the intro 🤣
Do you regret it? I'm still on the Air2 and see no reason to upgrade. 2nd shooter uses the Mini 3, we had both up on a windy day and holy sheet - the 3 was unstable AF. Footage almost unusable vs the larger drone
@@thecameraguys5381 Na I love the Mini 3 Pro and actually find it easier to use especially in busy environments. I love the vertical camera to. I mainly use the Mavic 2 for windy situations like you say.
An excellent demonstration of just what the MIni 3 Pro can handle. And unless we test the limits, we will never know what those limits are. Great video, some epic scenery there. Jerry
Lol me too, got mine stuck in a tree once eventually got it down but majority of my flying is over water so I’m nervous too but you’re right videos like this makes me more comfortable lol!!!!!!!
a fantastic test by a pro, entertaining and educational. the comparison with the AUTEL and the Mini 2 at this wind force would not be bad either. thank you for your help. 👍😃
@Chaney Lin oh...... I'm sorry about that. With the expectation and the price, this is certainly not an easy decision. But don't you think that an update in the future will solve the problem of the Nano? I mean the EVO had a lot of improvements after the last update and was usable all of a sudden. But yes, the Mavic Mini and Mini 2 are real powerhouses when it comes to wind resistance.
Keep the MINI2 and buy the battery harness that allows you to use the Mini3 47 minute battery with your Mini2 Just mount the battery on top of your Mini2.
Would have been nice if you could have specified the actual wind speeds in this video using a simple handheld pocket anemometer so we could understand more intelligibly how it performs for a particular wind speed; otherwise the results just come across as a bit arbitrary.
Ahh yes, Reginald, quite right. Although I've made it indubitably clear to you previously, the simple folk can't understand what you're telling them, oh how shameful. Now, let us retire to our bedchambers and prepare we have some young blood to harvest tonight.
Omg! Great scenery! Lmao almost the whole time!!😂 Very funny Thank you for the laughs The wind must have hit 40-45mph by the looks of some other wind tests ive seen Awesome!
A fantastic performance by the drone. And I’m so jealous of that scottish scenery - got to do my first drone flying there earlier this year. Gosh was it something else.
It performs well in wind for its size but I’m much more comfortable having a heavier drone like my Air2S if I have to get some shots on windy days. I still remember getting quite stressed on windy days when I flew a mini drone a couple of years ago.
You should've taken a dji mini 2 with you, and then compare the difference.. to find out if the dji mini 3 is that much better. Fly them both in the wind and without the wind.. and see which one performs the better job at flying. the Mini 3 looks top-heavy..
Thanks for showing us the performance of a great new aircraft under extreme conditions. While I am a more fair-weather flyer, knowing what our drones are capable of in case of a sudden change in conditions is an important bit of knowledge! Well done!
That is incredibly footage and its phenomenal how well it performed in the wind: I have heard some pros complain about its instability in strong winds but at the same time Final Cut Pro and iMovie have very decent stabilisation software and I'm sure many other editing suites have, too.
The performance of this mini 3 is awsome, you should actually compare it with the mini 2 and the air 2S at the same time. And the lower you keep the drone, the more turbulence you've got and the more shaky the drone will be, so flying in high winds means, keep the drone higher. Also one rule in high wind, first fly upwind, before flying downwind :-)
Great video. Interesting subject, magnificent storytelling and outstanding surroundings. Good narrative too. And yes, I will buy Mini 3. Currently have Air 2S, but love the size of the mini.
C'est facile de pendre tout les risques lorsque l'on a pas acheté le drone! Si tu avais acheté le DJI mini 3 Pro tu ne prendrai pas autant de risque .Merci à DJI pour le cadeau!
As for me mini 3 pro is Revolution of size and picture quality. Ordered yesterday, but arrives only next month!! Checked today , if I ordered today, I will get it July!!!
Great seat of your pants video. Its like most tech items though. A new better model comes out but we cant keep chasing the latest models due real world budget.( Phones are a good example) im happy to stick with my Air2 for now 👍🏻
Great video and documentation!! Thanks Stuart! That was exciting! 🤩 I'll stick to my mavic 2 for now. But this one is really tempting. Especially for traveling 🙈😩😁
Thanks for the precious free ebook and the video. I bought an air 2 newly. I was thinking that ı return it for mini 3. They told me they wont take it back cause I registered it on myself for aviation. however it wasnt opened ı mean the box and everything. So little bit reget and relieve that I am experiencing. :) Thanks again.
Thanks for another outstanding and informative video. Still flying my mini 2 and want to get fully proficient at flying that before I upgrade to anything else. The mini 3 is definitely waiting for me though!
Wow Stuart very impressed with this video, I am looking forward to coming up to the Highlands in late July or early Aug this year and will be bringing up the DJI MINI3 Pro and also the Autel EVO1 to get some really great video shots of the landscape and countryside, it was while in Clen Coe back in Dec 2006 with my Daughter that I got my first sight of a drone and from that day to now I have been hooked, thank you so much for all your hard and extensive video's with the DJI MINI 3 Pro, regards TJK UK.
Thanks Stew your trails help stop our mistakes. I dont get my Mini3 till June so keep trying to lose your drone for us oops I mean keep up the good work. What I have got out of this I will be buying one POWER battery just for these occasions, hopefully the battery will help get Minime back to me with the extra power or a better chance anyway. Thanks for sharing Ray K. UK. YNWA.
Great work Stewart, really pushing the limits the shot of lochmarre from the car park looked amazing, one of my favourite spots as I live 20 mins up the A832 back towards Garve , keep up the good work and pop in for a cuppa next time lol, Steve NC500 aerial photography
Keep the MINI2 and buy the battery harness that allows you to use the Mini3 47 minute battery with your Mini2 Just mount the battery on top of your Mini2.
That's amazing! Would the battery full load message be less likely to come up if you wasn't recording at the same time? Just thinking if you was in trouble you might get a little more juice to get it home maybe.
I'm impressed with this little beast of a drone but my big takeaway from this is that one should choose the best tool for the job and in winds over 15-18 mph one should choose a heavier more capable drone. For what it is though the M3P is a great piece of tech. I might even get one in a year or two.
Great video, a real test! I have the same issue with flying my Mini 1 in Ireland... Everything lines up for a great shot but for the (all too usual) wind. As good as the Mini 3 looks, I can't help but eye a bigger drone like the Air 2S or whichever replaces it. More regulations but better able to handle typical Irish weather when I want to fly. I know the Mini 2/3 have better wind performance, but how much better? So how windy is too windy for you with a Mini 3?
How do you record your sound? It is so impressive that there are no mic wind noises. Even when I use moc muffs I get wind noise. Very impressive, my friend!
I just do not mess with the wind with my drones anymore. Old Autel X Star Premium did somewhat ok in 15mph winds, 25-30 gusts a few years back...saw and heard it was straining though and briefly thought this beefy Phantom 3 sized drone would be pushed out to the Atlantic off Asbury Park, NJ, it didn't thankfully. In trying to capture a post snowstorm/sunset video this past Jan. outside Philly...I took up my original Mavic Pro and...whoa. Never again. No crash, but the same gusts 25-30...maybe 35mph above 100-200ft, this was struggling hard. If I didn't navigate this behind a tree that thankfully cut down the gusts a tad bit so I could land, this would have been a goner.
Someone really needs to make a video like this but with the mini 2, mavic 2S and mini 3 all being flown in the same conditions with the wind speed recorded. I keep checking RUclips for it but it doesn’t exist yet. I’m feeling like the biggest reason to get the 2S over the mini 3 is the wind performance so want to see the real world differences. Fancy the challenge?
Good and useful content. I'm headed out for a longish coastal hike on Anglesey on October 3rd and packing my Mini 3 Pro with me so your wind information might well be useful. I just have to ask, where were you shooting on this day? Next Spring I'm going to try to go hiking in NI covering the north coast and then will be heading over to Glasgow and points south to find the wee village that my Scots ancestors emigrated from. It looks as if your location, wherever it might be, could be an interesting side trip if the timing (and money) work out.
Can the built-in fly app of the RC do a direct live stream via RTMP? or perhaps there is HDMI clean video output? That is what I need before I buy 1. Any answer from those who already bought will be super duper highly appreciated
Question: you mentioned that if you are going to do an important shot, you would consider using the air 2s or Mavic 3. I was under the impression that the air 2s at least have the same wind resistance as the mini 3? Are there any other advantages of the air2s that I should consider? Currently it is a toss up between the mini 3 Pro and the air 2S for me.
Very impressive craft for its size!!!! Couple of questions stewart! Which battery where you using here? Also do you know approximately what the wind speed was?
Love the effort you go through for these. How is your audio so clear in such crazy wind? How do you think the Mavic Air 1 would do in the same condition? (I have one)

@@SD-zx1uh i alwas think wind will flip the drone over and while flying above water it would just sink 😂😂
"...squeaky bum time", now that's a phrase I'll be reusing! 🤣
Thanks Stewart, for braving the elements to keep us educated and entertained and challenged to have a go best wishes Scott
Cheers Scott!

thanks for the review! I understood everything correctly, it's better to buy air 2s and not be afraid that it will blow away?!
Omg! Great scenery!
Lmao almost the whole time!!😂
Very funny
Thank you for the laughs
The wind must have hit 40-45mph by the looks of some other wind tests ive seen
Awesome!
This has to be the best wind test review of the mini 3 on yt so far
A fantastic performance by the drone. And I’m so jealous of that scottish scenery - got to do my first drone flying there earlier this year. Gosh was it something else.
I've always been mindful of windy conditions but it looks like this new mini has got what it takes, and its compact to boot. Great video. Thanks

Thanks Bud, great video as usual!
I sold my mini2 over the weekend and gonna order this.
Can't wait to try it in the Windy Wellington conditions!
Nice video. Only had mine for a week and watching these types of videos makes me love it even more. 👍🏾
I just knew it'd do well because this is an easy task for the Mini 2
Wow, I am impressed 🦾🦾🦾

Brilliant review Stewart you're a brave man the small drone in those conditions handled the weather very well.
wow superb mini 3
Oh geez. That wind was nuts but you can’t expect any more from such a small quad in those conditions.
Hey Stewart. Ever thought about doing a video on finding a lost drone. It would be appreciated by us new drone owners. Love your vids.
This was an interesting test, with a fair test showing the mini 3 pro’s capability. you can’t beat a DJI drone, they are the best on the market.👍
Stewart thanks for the great video 👍
This is why I have an air 2s it’s better in all conditions.
And way more expensive
Love your videos
So beautiful review! Amazing quality!
That little beast seems to be unstoppable! Nice vid! Not gonna try this at home but Im now pretty sure it will handle a regular windy day!
Excellent Test Video. Amazing Flying. Thank You.
that is a mad drone i hope mine turns up soon lol great video as usual my friend 😁👌👍 🇬🇧
Top notch video as usual and beautiful scenery
Very handy chart Stewart, thanks 😊 just downloaded it👍🏻
good lesson as usual.

i fly on the coast and over water alot. this was scary to watch and imagine/relate to my flying scenario
Nice job !
Aye a canny wee beastie...

This is why you need 2 drones and the mini can never be the only drone.

Hello 👋
Why not get a wind speed measuring device to check? Okey, if You got a box full of drones, please try.
Good and useful content. I'm headed out for a longish coastal hike on Anglesey on October 3rd and packing my Mini 3 Pro with me so your wind information might well be useful. I just have to ask, where were you shooting on this day?

It looks as if your location, wherever it might be, could be an interesting side trip if the timing (and money) work out.
curious to know just how windy was it and how much wind gusts. I usually do not fly it the wind is over 50km/hour, I think I am a bit over cautious.
Can the built-in fly app of the RC do a direct live stream via RTMP? or perhaps there is HDMI clean video output?
That is what I need before I buy 1. Any answer from those who already bought will be super duper highly appreciated
You have too me where that winding road is and the mountain range with the lake ?
I really don't know what you expecting from a 250 grams with such a small propeller's drone but anyway great video.
Question: you mentioned that if you are going to do an important shot, you would consider using the air 2s or Mavic 3. I was under the impression that the air 2s at least have the same wind resistance as the mini 3? Are there any other advantages of the air2s that I should consider? Currently it is a toss up between the mini 3 Pro and the air 2S for me.
I wonder it'll make any difference if you put in the 47 minutes battery. I'm sure this can handle the wind. you got more time and more weight
As long as it can manage 24 mph winds thats good enough
Very impressive craft for its size!!!! Couple of questions stewart! Which battery where you using here? Also do you know approximately what the wind speed was?
In my gut I get the feeling the Mavic Platinum Pro could perform better in these conditions
❤
Best quality pictures/videos mini 3 pro or Air 2s?

Love the effort you go through for these. How is your audio so clear in such crazy wind?
How do you think the Mavic Air 1 would do in the same condition? (I have one)
I too am amazed at the audio quality. Do you record and then redub, or are there any audio editing secrets to share?
I used Mavic air(1) 4 yrs. I visited Scotland as well during windy weather. Wasn’t problem. But mavic air has 469 g
