Why not use a larger card ? If we want a larger card what would be the maximum size you would buy ?? And why ? I would think while out "in the field" you would not want to have to be changing cards constantly ?
@@LJ-jq8og The largest the unit supports is 512GB (officially anyways, perhaps it supports 1TB, but I don't have any of those cards sitting around to try it out). For me, the 256GB cards kinda fit the bill perfectly in terms of storage capacity vs price. The 512 Extreme cards cost about $110 or so, versus these are $35ish. For simple math, at 4K/30 HDR, that gives you about 7.5hrs of footage. Which is a lot of flights, especially since you're likely not shooting 100% of the time in the air in 4K/30. But to each their own!
@@JScarborough9000 Yup! I was looking to do perhaps a deep-dive on features, but somewhat comparative to the DJI RC Pro in terms of what's offered there. Or, maybe it'll just be a deep-dive for the DJI RC itself. I've got most of the details written up already, so might be a weekend project.
I don't own a drone, or even have plans to get one in the near future... and yet, I still just spent an hour watching your whole video. I think that says a lot about the quality of the content here. It was very interesting to learn about the current capabilities of a consumer drone. You did an excellent job of conveying all the info. I not only think I have a pretty full understanding of the use of this drone now, but you also gave some great info that seems it would apply to drones in general. Two thumbs up, sir.
I’m 57 yrs old and still amazed at the speed of technology and the things we can do with it! Im about to get the drone you are flying and thank you for making it simple and easy for me to use!
I think what makes this such a good tutorial video is you assumed that we know nothing about drones so you covered all areas on how to use this drone and drones in general. I feel like alot of people would say for example "dont take off from metal" where you actually explained why. Thank you
There are a lot of videos about the mini 3 breaking things down, and this one is my favorite. You are not annoying and go straight to the points. Thank you!
Complete beginners guide is an understatement. Thanks for putting this all together. A lot of information to process but easy to follow. Thanks for the encouragement.
I ordered a drone but was on the fence about it. Wasn’t sure if it was a smart purchase or not. This video is extremely long but I wanted to make sure I knew how to use my new expensive purchase so I sit down and watched this video. I must say, I am blown away by how great of a video this is and all of the features the drone has. This video really sold me on the drone and helped me to see all of the things I can truly do with it. Thank you!!!
In grad school I had a professor who spoke at an incredible speed in order to get out all the information he wanted to present in the time limited by the class. DC reminds me of this professor. While not limited in time, I will say I'm amazed by the amount of information he presents in his videos. Honestly, I don't know how he does it.
This being my first drone, I must thank you in advance and say you saved me a few blades, as I did not clearly understand obstacle avoidance till I saw your video. Excellent video. Clear, concise and to the point. Keep up the great work!
If i get the mini 4pro for my first drone, do you think that would be good or stick with the 3 mini pro? Do you have a video with a comparison of the 2? Thanks man
@@grizzle1629 newer is always better if money is not a problem, otherwise Mini 3 pro is still a great drone that will give you tons of fun and great shots!
Only seen 6 minutes but already know this is a great video tutorial. Thank you for getting right to it and not 5 minutes of introductions and bs talk. ❤
Hi, I also found this video in the link on your high wind video. I’m glad that I did. I just ordered a mini 3 pro yesterday from DJI at it's launch. This will be my first drone. I am a commercially licensed fixed-wing, glider, and free balloon pilot plus I shoot still photography professionally (currently horse racing). Even with this background, I find challenges in learning remote controlled aero video photography stimulating but sometimes overwhelming (and not having the drone in hand to practice with is not making learning easy). Your video instruction is by far the clearest and most complete that I have yet to view, thank you.
The bestest most informative video I've seen. I've joined groups on Facebook and when you ask a question they get smart and judgemental. Give thanks and please continue with the teaching.
Really great video, I’m switching from the Mavic 2 Pro to Mini 3 Pro due to UK regulations etc and so wanted to learn more about how the DJI Fly app worked. Only thing I would say is that I wouldn’t recommend flipping the drone to stop it when hand landing, it puts extra strain on the motors which isn’t needed. I generally hold my hand underneath, then push down on the stick to land it directly into my hand, keep holding down until the motors stop, as if it were a normal ground landing. Other than loved the video and very helpful.
+1 for landing in hand and pressing down on thumb stick to land. It shuts the motors off almost immediately and dont risk catchin your wrist with a prop too.
@@temax it’s the left joystick, pulling towards your body (down). Just keep holding it down after you put your hand out and it will land in your hand and props turn off. Hope that helps!
Good sir, this video is a public service and I can't thank you enough for making it. At the time of this writing, I'm about 5 days away from owning one of these... it's my first drone, but I've been trying to get as educated as possible about it and this vid is vital. Cheers from Louisiana, man! Sincerely appreciate you.
@@Seno-bz4ij - it was a total blast until I started using sport mode. All I'll say is I'm glad I got the insurance, lol. I should have a new one back in soon!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I've just bought this drone and your video made everything clear to me (much better than the user manual), I'm excited to get it out and make all the shots I want without that feeling of being overwhelmed with modes and settings!
Thank you for coming out with one of the more thorough guides. So many mini 3 videos coming out at the same time but this one stands out. Pre-ordered my drone!
Just picked this drone up to film our travels while living full time in a diy camper van. For it for $589 at Best Buy. This video helped out a TON and haven't even unboxed it yet!
Hands down one of the best tutorial videos I have seen in a loooong time! Amazing job and thanks for sharing. I ordered mine yesterday and this video was the most helpful!
Fantastic insight to the Mini 3, this IS the most thorough content I've seen on the M3, well done!! Masterclass of information, correctly reemphasising the risk of no side sensors for all newcomers. Suberb 👏👏
Bro, this level of content has covered everything I wanted to learn about this specific drone and I feel sooo much more confident in purchasing it now that I've watched your video! 😭💕💕👏 Thank you so much, I've subscribed!
🎉Thank you for very informative video. I am a 80 year old new pilot. There is so much to learn about my new toy, and thank you for explaining all the background settings, the whys & wherefores of which I didn't know of or understand. I will take the air with a bunch more confidence thanks to you Sir Michigan's new/old pilot LeRoy
Wow, I was glued to this video from bigging to end. Very impressed by your presentation, easy to understand and looks a superb drone to boot. Thanks so much. Subscribed 😁👍
The DJI Mini 3 will be my first drone and this video has given me so many great tips and tricks, and the confidence that'll be able to master it in no time!! Thank you so much!!
It will be my first one also. When I read the onerous restrictions on flying the larger drones in the UK I cancelled my order. The mini 2 didn't cut it for me but the mini 3 has almost everything I want, all that's missing is side and top avoidance
Such an excellent comprehensive tutorial, also no frills just straight through all the functions . I’ll be revisiting this a lot! All tutorials should be like this. Many thanks.
@@frost7724 Generally not, but it really depends on the exact bundle purchased. I've linked one up above/here, that I use in all my drones: amzn.to/3TakpnJ
Super interesting. Subscribed and liked. Thank you! I've been really wanting a drone ever since the first Mavic came out, but never pulled the trigger on my first drone. This one seems like finally is the one for me. I'll be watching your stuff alot while I wait for shipping
Thanks for this and your other videos, I'm planning on getting the Mini 3 as my first drone (mostly for landscape photography/videography here in Hawaii). I've spent a few minutes flying other peoples' drones, but that's a far cry from owning my own so it's good to have a "first timer" tutorial.
Thanks - appreciate it! And lucky you on the Hawaii choice. I was looking at some drone regulation maps there a few days ago for a potential trip later this year, are there many state-driven no-fly zones to worry about (for parks), that might not show up on the FAA ones?
@@Dcrainmaker Oh, nice! With the caveat that I'm on Hawaiʻi island (the Big Island), so that's what I know best: the big ones I know of are the two national parks (Hawai'i Volcanoes NP and Haleakalā NP) on Hawaiʻi and Maui islands, which don't show up on either the FAA map or DJI's geofencing as no-fly zones. I also noticed while I was at Maunakea in November that there were no-drone signs posted both at the visitor information station (2.8 km) and the summit (~4 km), so it's possible the entire Mauna Kea Ice Age Natural Area Reserve (which covers the area around the summit down to approximately 3 km) is off-limits. DJI's map shows a few more places such as military installations that aren't listed on the FAA map, but that's all the unlisted places I'm aware of at the moment. If I find any more once I'm out and about with my new drone (ordered two days ago!) I'll drop another reply.
I typically do my landings by hovering about 4' high and while in flight reach in behind by the battery area for a hand GRASP landing. Great video's with tons of info. Flew over 1000 miles on my mm2 & 300 miles on my m3pro
Thank you so much for this! Just ordered one for myself and am super excited to become proficient with it. Honestly, one of the things I'm most impressed with in your video is how well it's handling the wind and how good the gimbal stabilization is. Given the fact the wind is quite audible in your mic, I'm assuming you probably had 15-20mph winds that day while you were recording. I'll be interested to see how it does in my own usage, since I live in Utah and it's relatively rare to have a calm day out here. I won't use it on any crazy wind days, but I'm very interested in learning this new skill... Plus, I'll need to learn another skill with video editing. Fortunately, I'm already proficient in photo editing, but it's cool to jump head first into a new realm!
A really great tutorial for someone considering getting a Mini 3. One thing I don't understand is that, if the camera is mounted on gimbal and can point in virtually any direction, why doesn't the drone position itself to fly diagonally for side shots so the object avoidance system is at least partially covering the direction of flight?
Hey Ray, I recall that you a long time ago tested active tracking while you were skiing. It wasn’t really successful for the drones at that time. Do you think that the Mini 3 would be a useful drone for skiing and snowboarding videos with the active tracking option? Thanks for the great video
@@R00RAL Great, thanks. Too bad it can’t track you from the front view. I hope also that the drone descends at the same rate and doesn’t keep the same elevation
Fantastic breakdown on all the features, especially the different modes. You really go into depth while viewer see where & how to find everything you cover. We use our drone mostly when on the boat, thus catching it is the logical choice. Is there an option to RTC (Return to Controller) instead of RTH? ⚓
Thanks for the tutorial. I bought my DJI Mini 3 Pro about 6 months ago, stored it and now I am on a tour of the American mid-west and this tune-up was great. A little fast in some areas, but great, so thanks.
In the process of a purchase. This video was PERFECT. So much info to learn and absorb.... For sure a return to video. You did an amazing job and helped take all the doubts about doing this away. I am so pumped about getting started now. Thank you very much.❤❤❤
I just bought this drone and had no idea of what it was capable of. I was looking for longer flight time. Thank you so much for this vid I am even more excited to get the drone and start flying her.
Just bought my first dji drone, have no idea what is drone photography/video.. this tutorial made it clear! Better than the tutorial from the dji itself! Thanks for sharing it! Now I have lots of ideas flowing to my head!
I'm watching this video for the second time. There's just too much good info to digest it in a single view. I don't have a nice drone yet, but the Mini 3 Pro looks like a great option. Thanks!
Where is the "LOVE LOVE LOVE" button? My friend, I just got my Mavic Mini Pro 3 this morning and wanted to watch a tutorial before flying for the first time. Your video was simply perfect! Engaging, well explained, full of details without being boring or redundant... A perfect 10/10. Thank you so much for this video, that was, AMAZING! I'm so excited to try my drone now :)
Just bought a mini 3 pro today! And this video was really informative and concise! Really liked the «live» -demonstration and explanation. Got a good feel for usage, actually, out in the field🙌👏
Probably one of the best reviews I've seen on this product. I've been wanting a drone for over a decade, and with my motorcycle and car hobbies, I think this is perfect.. Thank you so much.
as a beginner drone owner. this is the most detailed video on how to use DJI mini 3. i feel like a real pilot. theres a lot of detail to remember for flying a drone. i guess the more you fly it the more you get comfortable flying it. just like the real pilots. you gotta earn your hours of flying this before you really mastered it. also thanks for making this video. 🤝 i appreciate it you! 👊🏼
I enjoyed watching this thorough tutorial. Thank you for posting this video as I have the DJI MINI 3 PRO drone, two RC's, the DJI Fly More bundle, and some other accessories. I'm still a beginner, yet this video will help me to become more familiar with many of the controls and camera functions.
She just came in today although this is my second time watching your full video and she's not even done charging so I'll probably watch it again awesome job.. thank you!!
WOW! This is the EXACT video I was searching for! Your attention to detail, explanations & insights were hands down the best. I really appreciate everything you covered in this tutorial. Bro...literally thank you so much. My confidence in this drone for what I want to use it for is at a new level.💯✌🏽
This is very useful because am going to get a DJI mini 3 pro and now I’m feeling more confident about flying my drone for the first time and I’m excited because am getting the drone for my birthday 🥳
Much better at explaining than the online tutorial.setting out the config of the controller with no spurious translations.really well done although you speak to quickly.I struggled with the online manual for two days before I saw this and I was flying in about 20 minutes.
Absolutely brilliant video. I have put off purchasing a drone for my sports photography for the past year due to my lack of knowledge of how they work, but by the time I reached three quarters of the way through the video I was online purchasing a mini 3 pro. It will of course take practice before I'm confident to take it out to a sports event, but I have a great tutorial to speed up the process. Thank you very much from Ireland for the benefit of your knowledge.
I love your Videos and the in-depth guide.. I watched your go Pro 10, and 11 video before buying it and now doing the same before buying this drone.. Your tips and tricks do help out alot when handling our devices. Thank you so much..👍👍
Excellent video tutorial in my opinion and as a beginner, I learnt so much. I will revisit your video to pick up on what I didn’t quite grasped first time round. Thankyou. Cheers
Hey folks, thanks for watching! Many have asked what SD card I use. Here's the exact 256GB card I buy for all my drones/cams: amzn.to/3l6Efyo
Why not use a larger card ? If we want a larger card what would be the maximum size you would buy ?? And why ? I would think while out "in the field" you would not want to have to be changing cards constantly ?

Hey Ray, I recall that you a long time ago tested active tracking while you were skiing. It wasn’t really successful for the drones at that time. Do you think that the Mini 3 would be a useful drone for skiing and snowboarding videos with the active tracking option?
Thanks for the great video
Yes, in side or rear view. Sports mode. Only thing is, no side to side avoidance sensors on the drone. But it will track you to 60km/hr.
@@R00RAL Great, thanks. Too bad it can’t track you from the front view. I hope also that the drone descends at the same rate and doesn’t keep the same elevation
@@vanik67 i have not received my drone yet. Acend & descend I will look into, I believe it does. Perhaps someone else who knows could comment.
I lost my Dji min 2 in the mountains.. Picked up a DJI Mini 3 pro.. thank you so much for the video. So many new features I did not have before!
Sorry to hear about the Mini 2, but enjoy the new one!
Fantastic breakdown on all the features, especially the different modes. You really go into depth while viewer see where & how to find everything you cover. We use our drone mostly when on the boat, thus catching it is the logical choice. Is there an option to RTC (Return to Controller) instead of RTH? ⚓
controller does not have builtin gps ?! :)
Dude I’m so happy I found this video. I just bought one comes Wednesday. Super helpful thank you.
Thanks for the tutorial. I bought my DJI Mini 3 Pro about 6 months ago, stored it and now I am on a tour of the American mid-west and this tune-up was great. A little fast in some areas, but great, so thanks.
I'm a DRONE Newbie. I keep on coming back to this vid to learn about my drone and the remote control. Thanks for doing this for us👍🏼
In the process of a purchase. This video was PERFECT. So much info to learn and absorb.... For sure a return to video. You did an amazing job and helped take all the doubts about doing this away. I am so pumped about getting started now. Thank you very much.❤❤❤
Purchased mine today. Absolute novice. This is a fantastic introduction, thank you.
I just bought this drone and had no idea of what it was capable of. I was looking for longer flight time. Thank you so much for this vid I am even more excited to get the drone and start flying her.
I have just got myself a mini 3 Pro, and I just want to say a huge thank you for your video. Best one I've watch as a beginner.
Just bought my first dji drone, have no idea what is drone photography/video.. this tutorial made it clear! Better than the tutorial from the dji itself! Thanks for sharing it! Now I have lots of ideas flowing to my head!
Excellent video! Watched every second. Mini Pro will be delivered in just a couple days. Thanks for posting this.
I am most impressed on how stable it is with all the wind
I'm watching this video for the second time. There's just too much good info to digest it in a single view. I don't have a nice drone yet, but the Mini 3 Pro looks like a great option. Thanks!
purchased my first Mavic pro 6 years ago. Just got the mini 3 pro today. This video was still very helpful. Thanks. Good refresher.
Where is the "LOVE LOVE LOVE" button? My friend, I just got my Mavic Mini Pro 3 this morning and wanted to watch a tutorial before flying for the first time. Your video was simply perfect! Engaging, well explained, full of details without being boring or redundant... A perfect 10/10. Thank you so much for this video, that was, AMAZING! I'm so excited to try my drone now :)
Great video! I now am confident with all of the options, capabilities, and safety required to operate the drone to its full potential. Thank you.
Thank you for the video! First flight with my mini 3 pro today! Wish I had ran across this before I took flight. Excellent info.
Just bought a mini 3 pro today! And this video was really informative and concise! Really liked the «live» -demonstration and explanation. Got a good feel for usage, actually, out in the field🙌👏
I get my drone on tomorrow and it is my first. This video has helped me understand already. I will be viewing it a few more times I'm sure lol. Thanks
Probably one of the best reviews I've seen on this product. I've been wanting a drone for over a decade, and with my motorcycle and car hobbies, I think this is perfect..
Thank you so much.
as a beginner drone owner. this is the most detailed video on how to use DJI mini 3. i feel like a real pilot. theres a lot of detail to remember for flying a drone. i guess the more you fly it the more you get comfortable flying it. just like the real pilots. you gotta earn your hours of flying this before you really mastered it. also thanks for making this video. 🤝 i appreciate it you! 👊🏼
Thanks very much. I'm looking to pick one of these up and simply watching your video has clarified so many thoughts I had about flying one.
Quality of this is first class. As a total beginner, this made sense from start to finish. Thanks for this
Having to use my phone sucks!
I’ve tried three .
Good that they’ve finally put it on the control.
This video is incredible, I am getting one of these drones and I felt like I took a full class on this. Love it.
Thanks!!!
Getting my DJI mini 3 in 4 days. This video is exactly what I needed to feel comfortable flying this drone! Thank you so much for posting it.
Thanks!!!
Bad ass. Seriously.
I was focused the whole time. Definitely saved this.
Awesome
I did not know about the hand catching, flipping drone over! Great tip and thanks for the walkthrough.
Wonderful presentation 👏 thank you so much 🙏
Much love 💕
Matthias 👋
I enjoyed watching this thorough tutorial. Thank you for posting this video as I have the DJI MINI 3 PRO drone, two RC's, the DJI Fly More bundle, and some other accessories. I'm still a beginner, yet this video will help me to become more familiar with many of the controls and camera functions.
Sitting anxiously waiting for mine to get delivered today. This is great, thank you!
This was a good run through of the DGI DRONE.
I learned so much from this I wish I had known before I used a much cheaper drone.
She just came in today although this is my second time watching your full video and she's not even done charging so I'll probably watch it again awesome job.. thank you!!
WOW! This is the EXACT video I was searching for! Your attention to detail, explanations & insights were hands down the best. I really appreciate everything you covered in this tutorial. Bro...literally thank you so much. My confidence in this drone for what I want to use it for is at a new level.💯✌🏽
My mini just arrived. Thanks for the video tutorial, very good presentation and concise info. Thank you.
My dji pro 3 gets here this weekend. Thanks for the video!
Exceptional… felt like a pro drone operator after watching your vid. Saved a lot of time and possible headaches learning to fly. Thank you very much!
This is very useful because am going to get a DJI mini 3 pro and now I’m feeling more confident about flying my drone for the first time and I’m excited because am getting the drone for my birthday 🥳
Much better at explaining than the online tutorial.setting out the config of the controller with no spurious translations.really well done although you speak to quickly.I struggled with the online manual for two days before I saw this and I was flying in about 20 minutes.
I am rediscovering your channel with the whole drone videos and tutorials 🤭
Thanks!!! Hope it’s helpful!
Just bought a drone. Excellent over view. Thank you. Excellent job.
Absolutely brilliant video. I have put off purchasing a drone for my sports photography for the past year due to my lack of knowledge of how they work, but by the time I reached three quarters of the way through the video I was online purchasing a mini 3 pro. It will of course take practice before I'm confident to take it out to a sports event, but I have a great tutorial to speed up the process. Thank you very much from Ireland for the benefit of your knowledge.
I just bought mine, great video, thanks for the explanations and showing how it actually performs!!
I love your Videos and the in-depth guide.. I watched your go Pro 10, and 11 video before buying it and now doing the same before buying this drone.. Your tips and tricks do help out alot when handling our devices. Thank you so much..👍👍
Excellent video tutorial in my opinion and as a beginner, I learnt so much. I will revisit your video to pick up on what I didn’t quite grasped first time round. Thankyou. Cheers
Very useful! Mine arrives tomorrow, can't wait!
Enjoy it!
Thanks a million for this 👏 been watching the official tutorials and other similar videos but your take cuts through the core 🥳 Brilliant 🇮🇸
I watched this video before purchasing this drone, after purchasing it, and after 1st flight. Thank you for the detail. I feel like a pro now. Lol
