This is another test of the DJI Mini 3 Pro. These are just tests, nothing scientific, and in a way they're also tests of my RUclips channel, not doing everything perfect, not super amazing shots in the mountains or over lakes, just simple shots filmed on the Mini 3 and DJI Mic. Simple as it gets. I'm testing what the algorithm thinks about this type of media compared to arty farty films.

I’m an Electrical Engineer and I have built many drones and water resistant coatings is something that I do to all drones, that being said ALL DJI drones that I have had or ones I have repaired have what’s known as conformal coating on the boards. I recently flew my DJI Air 2S back from 3km in very heavy rain, when I took it apart I checked the boards and used the UV light and easily saw the coating however on the ESC board it was visible without UV light as the coating as so thick that it looked like a silicone sleeve. In short they are water resistant (not water proof) and yes the salt water is always an issue and fresh water to flush it down is a must! Anyway try not to fly in the rain but if your caught in the rain don’t freak out as it will more than likely come back home safe and sound also air conditioning air is dry air and will help any moisture dry out of the drone so another great tip to put it on the dash of the car to help drying process.
Wonder is there a list somewhere to see whichs drones have the conformal coating. Would be nice to know
That sounds like the reason why my DJI drones have taken all the crap I’ve thrown at them and not even been bothered. Thanks for the heads up!
@@lionelfrenchface yeah a list would be great, all I can confirm is the last 2 years DJI have been using conformal coating some are a good coating some are ok in coats, one thing they seem to be doing is boards directly inline with the weather seem to get good coatings on the newer gear, that being said you can buy spray conformal coating and do it yourself but keep in mind a light coating is best and make sure you identify the silver can with the hole in it as that is the barometer and you certainly do not want any coating covering any part of that otherwise the drone will have major issues
@@Drone-Pilot what about the mini 2? My guess is yes. I’ve flown it numerous times, as well as the mini SE also. Never an issue. Just would like to know. Thanks for your time, and answer! I’m sure all of them probably do, as I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a drone being killed due to the rain. Also if the mini 2 isn’t, by chance what is the stuff called to put on it? Is it easily accessible?
Fellow engineers here, except I’m an industrial engineer. Glad I could get an electrical engineers insight on this. Great information
Not the props I would worry about but the air intake behind the gimbal is where most of your water that would hurt your drone gets into the internals. Even rainwater can corrode electronic connections also the water on a live circuit board or on the microchips on the board can cause some damage. Best practice to avoid rin if you can. Thanks for the video!
Yes, best way is to avoid it, but having so much experience in bad weather I can honestly say you should be fine, just don't go out into rain on purpose. The boards are apparently silicone sealed, not sure how much truth there is to that, but would explain why mine has never fallen out of the sky considering how much crap I've put them all through.
I read elsewhere that because DJI got into the action cam business, their lenses and circuit boards are sealed now based on that research and development.
But yeah, it's best to avoid the rain altogether for sure.
I've flew my mini 2 in a very heavy rain, not in purpose I just got caught in the rain but I flew it around 6 to 7 minutes and it came like it was in a pond or something, completely wet and it had no issues at all.
Same here, I've had mine come back soaking as if it was out swimming, zero issues a year later.
Was out today, the sun was shining, to do some reconnaissance. Close to the target point raindrops came down, and then snow! The temperature was +7 C! I cancelled the flying in that moment.
Knowing that cancelling often restores the good weather other checkings were done. And yes, the weather cleared up. Got away 1/2 a mile across the lake, did some flying and then the RTH sent an alarm due to the wind and the gusts.....
Good to hear from You there are margins....
You are an absolute mad man. I was flying in decent snow with my mini 2 one time and then it started raining, brought her back to find that she barely got misted so I threw her back up for some more. Had me sweating though lol
haha, sounds like you're just as mad as me! Love it!
Another amazing video :) Thanks Phillip :) by the way, my Mini 2 was diving in the lake for about 30 seconds, it was all in, and after sitting on heater for about 12 hours it was all ok and it is still ok - it was about a year ago :) These little drones are amazing :) Tahe care :)
haha, now that's a story Adam!! The Mini 2 really is an amazing drone, it takes everything I throw at it!
had the same story. but it was under 1m under water for 5 minutes. lights still on after i pulled it out. flying again like it never happened
Impressive!! Thanks Phil for sharing this with us 🙏🏻
Thanks!
I just got my Mini 3 Pro last week and today got caught in a downpour.
Sports mode enabled, zipped as quickly back to the Home position and safely landed it. Powered off properly and then took the battery out once inside my car.
Crossing my fingers I have no issues. I'm more mad than anything that because I was caught fiddling with a panoramic mode that I didn't have time to switch it into video mode and capture the downpour, LOL!
As for your final comments, I wonder if keeping a gallon of distilled water on hand would be useful for drone pilots? That could help if sea water gets inside of the drone.
Havent spent much time on RUclips recently...But I'm so glad to see you have a Mini 3 now. Also glad to see you are enjoying it :) They come to their senses?
Oh I love it Friedrich! Yes, all senses are now aligned 🤘🏻
my mini 2 has drowned, 1m under water for 5 minutes(!) when i pulled it out, the light was still on. the battery (inside) and electrical contacts remained dry. after a day in the dryer it worked like nothing ever happened. heck, the drone might have remained flyable straight after i pulled it out of the water. maybe some crazy person might wanna try that one day
!!! Wow what's crazy to know. I won't be fine in the rain on purpose but I can see it getting wet filming skyscrapers downtown
Good endurance test for the Mini 3!! Someone once told me that to prevent electronic components from being damaged by moisture, it is good to leave the drone hovering indoors until a full battery is exhausted, to increase the internal temperature and thus dry out the components. This only works with fresh water, of course, if it's sea water there's nothing to do (well yes... care refresh) 😄
I’ve had to use Refresh once for sea water, I know to keep it well away from large waves 🌊
@@PhillipSkraba 😂
I would be worried about components being short circuited while wet.
Just had a GoPro die on me due to a leak and then today my brand new Mini 3 Pro got caught in a downpour! 😞
I let the GoPro dry out for about four days and the Mini 3 I'm going to give 48 hours with. Videos like the one above are very reassuring!
Had a similar situation with my Mini 2 where the drone was around 500 meters away and all of a sudden it started pouring (typical Scottish weather). I'm not gonna lie I was panicking a little but it came back safe and sound and after drying it and inspecting it, it was completely fine and flew perfectly the next day!
Exactly! Mine was fine flying last night from the balcony, and today for the speed test. Just make sure you dry it off well and all should be fine.
I would be sweating more than that drone is wet if my Mini 3 got that drenched!
🤣
I don’t think I own a drone that hasn’t had a good shower in its life 😂
Getting to know more and more capabilities of the Mini 3 from your channel, keep it up!
Thanks John, lots more coming!
Thanks for taking the chance so we don't have to!
You're welcome David!
Great stuff cant wait for your epic footage on this drone like the ones you did on the Mini 2 , you're the one of the best if not the best of all thats out there , truly professional footage Phillip
I’m just playing around at the moment, when I get the chance to actually use it in a more professional situation you guys will be the first to know 🤘🏻
@@PhillipSkraba HEY Philip you responded to my comments thx for that ,and im good with that but i had 4 scammer's pertending to be you on your channel ,just what to let you no
where do you record your voice while you are flying the drone?
Your having to much fun. Stay safe and thanks for the video.
I’m just riding the Mini 3 wave, and using the weather that’s I’ve been dealt 😂
Bro how did you get audio sound out of your drone without the spinning blades noise? Thank you for the answer
Well, as long as you pretty far away from your drone, it should be pretty silent, especially the Mini 3 Pro, it's super quiet.
This is a great video and something else I would like to add is: DO NOT expose the DJI FPV drone to any rain (or moisture in general) if you can help it. All those little aerodynamic grooves and slots they put into the drone shell lead directly to the internals and the flight controller so even the slightest bit of rain will probably cost you some money
Hi mate. CRC2.26 will protect your drone from water damage and protect from corrosion and lubricate the bushes on drone motors. And it will not affect your warranty.
Sounds a little like you don't like living on the edge lol.
@@PhillipSkraba hahaha I'm retired and broken mate. I've lived on edge most of my life hence broken now 🤪🤣🤣.
Keep it up till the end, don't give up lol.
Love to see you doing more DJI mini videos!!!
I love them too to be honest!
@@PhillipSkraba I recently purchases a mini 2 (your videos were very good ) and love it, going to be uploading some videos with it soon hopefully! Gotta get the exams done first :)
Both fantastic drones, and both very, very capable.
the camera movement seems a bit smoother then the mini 2. the tracking is smooth too. some other dornes are a bit gittery when tracking something.
This is by far the best tracking I've seen. My Mavic 3 is drunk in comparison.
Thanks for this video. Risky business. I think I never try flying my drone in such a bad weather but apparently the Mini 3 do the job anyway.
The Mini 2 will too, and the other drones, they can all take it, just dry it off well and don't do it on purpose.
@@PhillipSkraba As always, thank you for your advice. I am aware that rain may bring sometimes poetic atmosphere !
Coolest drone out there right now!
I totally agree!
I’ve heard isopropyl alcohol is a great way to clean electronics. As soon as you land, remove battery, and rinse with alcohol. Let dry and try.
Yes! That’s correct, it evaporates all the water 👌🏻
Haha Phillip, that was me this morning.. both me and the mini 3 was soaked 😀
I've had all my drones in the rain, sleet, snow, and there has never, ever been a problem, except for when my drone got to play with some sea water in the Seychelles, 5 mins and the electronics were sizzling green.
electronics generally do not like water, especially after time, rust is a quiet executioner, now it will be fine, but after time not necessarily
Yeah, most are not fans of getting wet, especially salt water. I’ve got all my drones wet at some point, they all work fine, it’s usually water on the body and the inside is dry. If anything does get wet make sure to dry it quick and thoroughly.
Thanks Phil, I was wondering what happens to these things in the rain. If I waited for the perfect weather to fly my drone, I'd probably never fly it! Nice to know that they can put up with a bit of precipitation without harm. My wife has a de-humidifying oven she uses for food, I could always try sticking it in there 🤣
They can take quite a lot, I put it out in the snow when I can without a worry in the world, rain though, I wouldn't fly it in rain on purpose. My video here was really just to demonstrate that if it does start raining and you're in the air, don't panic, not much will happen.
I wish they would make a rain resistant drone, never understood why it’s not a thing yet
That is on my Wishlist too! Though these things pretty much take everything I throw at them, except sea water.
They do. It starts at $9,999.
@5:30 your obstacle sensor is still working fine :D
haha I turn that off most of the time, especially in rough weather or the sensors will drive me loopy.
Great Vid, love it! Extreme test & very informative 👍 well done!
Thank You! Glad you enjoyed it Paul.
Wow, this is really good to know. Had a very slight drizzle the other day and I had my Air 2s packed away quicker than you could say Pac-Man!
haha, well, it's not really something to be too worried about, and I wouldn't do it on purpose (apart for this video), so no don't panic, get it home and dry it off, all will be well.
Great videos on the mini 3 thanks Phil, they have been very helpful. How do you record and sync the audio though??
Thanks Andrew! I use the DJI Mic as a stand alone recorder and clap myself in, I even left that part in the video for all the people asking me how I do it.
Thanks for advice! i have the mavic air 1 and i still love it. Probably best to install an umbrella on the top haha!
The Air 1 is a classic, however the signal drove me loopy, same as the Mini 1. The Mini 3 Pro however, the signal on this thing is insanely good, I've had it in some funny places over the last week.
Oh yeah, when you sell it be sure to note it was “flown in rain”.
Oh yeah, that's a note I put on every single one of my drones 😂
Did well good test. Have a good one.👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Howdy, thanks for your knowledge
In Howards Grove WI usa, i would consider that "steady, medium, light. It's even close to a light steady rain. Maybe more towards a "light medium"(in howards grove, wi).
"Pissing" is only concerning to , , , lost my train of thought. sry and ty les
Yes, where I was standing I’d call it light, out on the lake though, it was pissing it down 🇬🇧
Again you always to the extreme and that’s super valuable information thanks for taking the risk so we can make better informed decision.
Hope your doing great.
haha, you know me Nathan, anything for a thrill!
@@PhillipSkraba ofcourse I know you'll do anything for the thrill... 🤣
love your vdos MAN
Thank You Faisal!
Great vidéo !🤣🤣🤣 👌👌👌 have good day Phillip ✌
Merci Yves! Have a great day too!
haha i love your channel always so raw and right to the point
I try my best not to go on too much, which unfortunately is in my nature 😂
Crazy Dude!!
It’s just a little H2O 💦
I wouldnt try getting it wet on purpose but great to find out how it can survive on water somehow.
Yes, same here!
The one problem I had after getting caught in a sudden downpour was the controller to phone USB connector got wet and was reporting a short. Left the cables removed from controller overnight on top of my warm oven and it was fine the next day. I really had an anxious night waiting... but all turned out OK
Yes, usb-c ports seem a little iffy, my Action 2 one died, got a replacement, thank god for Refresh. That's the only thing I'd be worried about, but if you dry it off well it should be fine. My Action 2 went through an icy wet hell for hours on end.
Damn once i get my drine I would be mortified doing something like this. But also side question if the drone happnes to get covered /is in contact with salt water would covering it in isopropic alcohol and letting it sit for a bit before drying it help? Cause the alcohol is nonconductive and it should wash the salt water off right. Maybe idk
Well, I've had a gimbal, drone and camera instantly ruined by salt water, but in tropical climates where the sea is very salty. I did what I could to save them but the water ate through everything in ludicrous speed. You could always try it and see, but in my experience it's game over.
@@PhillipSkraba oof. Fair enough though I suppose it would. I'd rather not try though lol.
How come my heroes are all crazy?
Love the stuff you do.
haha, thanks!!
Very tempted to upgrade my Mini 2.
The Mini 3 Pro is more of a step up, a different level all together. The Mini 2 is a fantastic entry drone, and if I were in your shoes I'd be thinking the same. I'd be very tempted.
Interesting. Thank You Phillip.
Thanks Doug!
So quiet. Cannot wait to get this. Ordered on 17th. End of June expected.
It is crazy quiet, I can barely hear it. Ohh you're going to go crazy when you get it.
@@PhillipSkraba Yes, but in fairness, that would be "craziER" 🤪 😜 🤪 When you fired it up inside that was amazingly quiet! No Master Airscrew Stealth Props needed on this one!
Nope, this one is silent all by itself!
I thought the simple reason not to fly in the rain is that the pictures get bad, but this is not the case
Im a new Never-before Drone owner. Picked up this MP3 yesterday, Its only been out of the box for like an Hr here, charging. Tomorrow is a memorial day for QE2 here in Australia and I wanted to take it out for its maiden flight tomorrow. Alas, its been raining here more than England today, and expected to continue tomorrow. Im worried about the open charging port and card slot on the back.....
Legend for this
Thanks!
You ever try some activated charcoal in the spots that you want to keep dry? That stuff dissipates rain pretty wells and it’s light
Not really as I do try to avoid the rain, and only fly if caught in it or really, really need to.
I fly mini 2 in rain all the time.
If you don't you are missing some of best footage.
I do dry it well, even stick it in a bucket of rice.
Yes, I usually avoid it unless I’m caught in it, then I fly back home in warp speed. I always make sure to dry it very well as fast as possible afterwards.
When can we expect to see the fire 🔥 test? 🤣
Pretty soon I hope!
Great video 🤟🏼😎🤝
Thanks Jesus!
You are a brave man on this test Phillip!
It’s just a little rain, it can handle it 🤘🏻
This is what happens when a new drone get released 😂
Lol, yep!
Phillip what voice recorder do you use?
I use the DJI Mic.
phantomrain wet suits are coming for the Mini 3 as well as the Rescue Jacket to float the drone on the water.
Sounds like fun, though I've had these things in all types of weather and never needed a wet suit.
@@PhillipSkraba Ok, but for heavy rain, you want the phantomrain wet suit as it only weighs 0.04 ounces
Hey Phillip.. I bought my mini 3 pro one month ago..with the standard controller.. what do you think.. will it be good to buy the RC ones and sell the standard..
I guess the props helps blow off rain and it flew along. How did you dry it off ? Did you quickly remove the battery ? I don't think it is IP(anything) rated . When covered with water is it more than 749 grams at take off ?
I usually wipe it on my hoodie, I removed the battery when I get into the car and set it on the dash as I usually charge straight away. It's not IP rated, no. Oh gosh, who knows about the 249g mark, no idea. I say fly it, and fly it hard.
@@PhillipSkraba according to interweb 1 gram of water is one quarter of a US teaspoon. I reckon if the mini 3 pro has water on it at take off it is over 249 grams so is illegal. Only fly dry.
Hell, if I cared about that I’d never fly my drone.
i used mine on snow, and pretty bad snow as well. Nothing happend then, but unfortunatelly i did start lately to feel some lag between connection and often times drone is struggling so hard to land even tho everything is clear. I am not 100% sure if thats the reason but ... best to avoid :).
It is best to avoid it, and I only did this to show you guys that you don't have to panic.
Mr Scraba I'm interested in doing light painting with drones. Would lumecubes work well with the mini 3 pro ?
They might be a little heavy, I’d pick up a simple drone light for that. I have one I’ll be doing a video on sometime soon.
Where’s it raining on earth?
It's been raining here for two weeks now!
thanks bro
Anytime!
Someone had to do it. Thanks
Lol, that's true!
Cheers, mate, thanks for sharing :)
You’re welcome, have fun out there!
Hi mate. Thanks for showing us how we'll it does in rain. Glad someone has done it (but I still won't be doing it my self) can you tell me how I can get audio onto my videos please??? Is it only with a external dji mic or is there a way without an external mic.
TIA 🤜🤛
If you clap yourself in you can use anything that records audio, including a phone. Thanks!
Oh man... I always get nervous when a little rain gets on my gear! :)) I don't know about the other newer drones from DJI, but this one seams really quiet. That's cool! I expected it to be lauder.
It's nothing to be too stressed about, I've had them all in really bad weather, and they're all fine. Oh it's super duper quiet, freaks me out every time I fly it.
@@PhillipSkraba It's always nice to see really good weather sealed gear, so you can use it with no problem.
Oh ! :)) The drones that I saw up close were all super loud and buzzy :)) Nice to see this is also improved.
Does the Mini 3 Pro come with those LED lights as standard?
Sure it does!
@@PhillipSkraba ahh nice one. Don’t know when I’ll get mine. Twice now DJI have extended my delivery date a month at a time and now by 2 months, estimated date of September 18th. Utter joke.
I’m sure it’ll be over soon.
@@PhillipSkraba I cancelled my order. As I’ve seen people order after me, and RUclipsrs like yourself get given them straight away. Disgusting.
The sticks ...
I’m flicking them, right? It’s my day off 😂
@Philip Skarba how do you do to record video and audio sound out of your drone bro thanks for the answer
Check out one of my latest videos Javier, it's on how to record audio with your drone.
Thanks for testing, what none of us want to try with our mini's 😅
You're welcome, someone has to, and that's usually me haha!
@@PhillipSkraba that's why we appreciate your work ❤️
Thanks Phil for always testing things none of us should at home! It is impressive this little drone can handle that much rain and still be completely OK. Curious what the next test will be!
I had it out again today, just buzzing the tower at full speed Top Gun style, it didn’t mind the rain judging by its performance today Tony 🌊
@@PhillipSkraba That is awesome to hear! It really does sound like such an amazing drone!
Are these not released to public yet? I can't find any anywhere.
You mean the DJI Mic or the Mini 3 Pro?
"Mini Free Pro"
Yes, that’s correct. You win a medal this week 🎖️ I won’t tell you what it’s for though 😂
I would worry most about motors rusting. Be sure to thoroughly dry the drone. (maybe a hair dryer etc).
I've had all my drones in the rain and snow, and I always dry them on the car dash, till this day they all work. My point here was just to demonstrate that you don't need to panic if it starts raining, just fly the drone home and give it a good dry, it'll be fine.
🤣🤣🤣.....Phillip....
quick question on active track....
Do you think it will be possible in vertical mode....🏴
I'm praying an update will come for that, I don't see why not.
lol its raining here now think ill have a go lol my mini 2 has been out in storms and still works to this day my advice to anyone that gets caught out in the rain is dry the drone of as much as possible and just leave it for a few days and all shall be fine :) i think dji should consider doing a waterproof drone you know it would be great. as usual you nutter great video looking forward to some more 🤣😁👍👌 🇬🇧
haha a waterproof drone by DJI would be a game changer! I’m back home in a week so hopefully the rain will have moved on by then! Looking forward to seeing the Queen 🇬🇧
@@PhillipSkraba and she's looking forward to seeing you and she wants to have a go with your mini 3 🤣👍👌
Flying a drone in the rain at forest literally a whole video."Don't do this at home!"
Well...I don't have a forest at home. And fortunately it's not raining inside my home 😉
A couple of plants and a shower is all you need, as well as your imagination. Next video I'd like to see the GoPro or Action 2 strapped to your chest, pov style, driving down Wojska Polskiego, stabilisation off.
@@PhillipSkraba
Challenge accepted. I'll go Struga Street, on that non repaired line, how about that? 😁
How long did you fly it under the rain? Was it on the sport mode?
Quite long, but I do NOT recommend it.
Someone said this drone doesn’t have sound so can’t hear you talking but you’re doing it ?
I’m using an external microphone, also made by DJI to record my audio and then later sync it in post.
rains bouncing ha
It was raining like crazy that day, yep!
Where did you record the audio on to?
I recorded the audio onto the DJI Mic.
@@PhillipSkraba mic from the RC? Sorry: noob here.
No, DJI sell a microphone kit called the DJI Mic, it’s fantastic.
If water enters the optics, your done. If water causes short cut of the battery, same. Water in the motor bearings: no good.
Apparently so, mind you I’ve had all my DJI drones in weather most people wouldn’t venture out in and they work perfectly till this very day.
For the Americans that are not aware, they say pissing for rain, and pissed for drunk. I didn’t know this till awhile ago
haha totally true! It was pissing down cats and dogs, but I didn’t give a rats ass because I was so pissed.
@@PhillipSkraba Hahaha!! There you go! I appreciate the content by the way, this was something I wanted to know. Honestly thought rain would drop it from the sky. Today I have learned. 👍
@@PrimordialOops Well, it's not the best idea to fly in the rain, and if it does start raining, just calmly get it back home.
@@PhillipSkraba Copy that, I’m very careful with my DJI Mini 2 probably more than I should be hahah - was curious in case it started raining. I’m new to drones, but I am loving the freedom it gives you.
Pretty much all the DJI drones can do this. I saw another video of a guy pouring a full water bottle right on top of an Air 2S while it was in the air, nothing happened.
That’s correct, all my DJI drones have been through rain and snow and are still flying.
Rinse it off?
Lol you may have ment dry it off😋
haha, you know what I mean!
@@PhillipSkraba of course I'll take what ya ment not what ya said😋
Hi for a split second when I see 👀 your thumb nail I thought you’d ruined the mini 3 in the wet 😟 but then when I see the video I thought you’ve got b#lls m8 flying it in heavy rain and over a lake we’ll say no more lol 😂 but yeah keep up the good work and look forward seeing many more video’s 👍
haha, I've had my drones in much worse weather Clive, so I do it with quite a lot of confidence knowing it won't drop out of the sky. That being said, I wouldn't recommend going out and flying it purposely in the rain.
I created my own jacket for my drone.
That's awesome!! Did it work?
You hit the water with DJI drones and there completely fried.
Yes, like most electronics, they do not appreciate swimming.
Don’t listen to him once it becomes water cooled it’s true power is unlocked and becomes sentient
haha, true that!
Bei mir kam rauch sobald ich im regen flog
That's wild! Good thing it was raining in that case!
It's good to know that you can fly it in the rain. I wouldn't do it on purpose, but handy to know if you accidently get caught in a shower👍
Yes, I've done it a few times and actually flew about 5 mins in it before this video, so it does a fine job. If the skies do open up, you shouldn't have any problems getting home.
@@PhillipSkraba I was thinking the other day if this accidently happened, I would let it hover inside so any moisture that may have got inside would evaporate with the drone running. Also same for the motors too!
I just wipe my down, set it on the car air vents or in the sun, after 10 mins it's as right as rain, no pun intended.
Phil you are one crazy motherfcuker unreal vlog my mini2 just wont go out in the rain it's very stubborn.
It was really really wet - giggety
You guys are just nasty 😂
