I bought the Mini 3 non pro as my first drone to learn on. I have 40 acres behind me to learn on and so far only one crash. Next year I want to do some cinematic shots so I’ll prolly go to the Mavic pro. Loving the mini thus far.

I still went with the Mini 3. Cameras mostly the same: The 150 Mbps bitrate is inconsequential to me; most wouldn't notice the difference between 100 & 150. I'm perfectly content recording 4K videos at 30fps, or 24fps - particularly in low light; 60 fps can look unnatural at times. I don't use obstacle avoidance as I always fly my drone high up. I'd take the extra battery time and save the $200. I asked myself, "Do I need or would I use those extra features?" My answer was no. IMO, the logic of paying extra just because it's that little bit more is what companies use to reel us in to buy stuff we may not need. Everyone has different needs, so go with what's best for you.

Hi Amy thanks for a concise and short video, I didn't really need a 15 minute video on this topic, and your video was great.

i think the pro is nice but it seems to me the mini 3 is all you need to get started thats what i think im gonna get with the rc remote.

Great Job Amy, super detailed for both drones!

Hi Amy. Three days ago, on the ocean, my drone flew off and did not return. What should I do? I bought it six months ago in December 2022

Let's not forget the Pro is still missing side sensors, and many of the tracking/high fps features are only available in 1080p mode, not 2k+. Worth knowing.

I went with the Mini 3 because I only shoot photo. They make a mistake in the Pro by putting the internal antenna, so on the non Pro later, they move the antenna to the verticle stick at the front.

Very nice review Amy, you helped me a lot. I just sold my Mini 2 and I was wondering which one to buy. Thank u

[misterbigs]

I've been going back and forth on these two as my first drone and you helped me decide. Lots of good info here, thanks!

[CeylonTec]

After a firmware update 3 weeks ago, the Mini 3 now offers 48 MP photos.

The Mini 3 got cheaper here in Europe. The best price i found for the Pro was 779 Euros with the N1 Controller, while the normal Mini 3 costs 469 Euro also with the N1 Controller.
Thats a huge difference so i bought the normal Mini 3 and its great.

Great video with great advice..I’ve got the Mini 2 but thinking of upgrading..

[adrianstensrud]

Even though the Mini 3 only goes to 3200 ISO, I think it is important to note that both drones have Dual ISO, both at 100 and 800. I have the Mini 3 Pro, but for those that don't want it or cannot afford it, I think the fact that the Mini 3 also have native ISO at 800 is a BIG win for it. Also worth noting for both drones: The Plus battery is not available/approved in Europe. Lastly, regarding the the 100 vs 150 Mbit video: The 150 Mbit does not give you more dynamic range in lighting, only colors (8 vs 10-bit colors). It's a hybrid "RAW" format, at best. Just so people don't expect to be able to pull back those shadows significantly or get back the overblown highlights..

Fantastic overview, thank you for the video.

[MrLineman]

always enjoy your posts..keep up the good work. can you tell me where i can get those leg extensions for the mini3 pro? thanks joe

[waynebishop]

Hey Amy how do you think the mini 3 pro stacks up next to phantom 4 pro plus ?
Footage ?
Was considering mini 3 pro as I like the size as an upgrade. Like the small size so less people to annoy when flying. Or do we go for Mavic 3 pro

[Larberm]

Does anyone think the Mini 3 pro will get way point support in a firmware update?
