Something to note DJI has now made it possible to record in 10 bit on the mini pro 3 also if you’re strictly buying this drone to stay under the 250g mark just know the extended life battery will put you over 250 grams not sure why they did this considering it’s a drone targeted at being in the sub 250 category

I think calling this entry level, or for beginners professionals is overkill. This drone does exactly what it’s designed for. It’s a creators drone, and damn good one. I have seen several videos from the high profile YouTubers, and IG creators that pumped out amazing results with this drone from there adventures. They are not beginners, or entry level. They are creators that make a damn good living doing what they do best, and this is a tool that does the job. With its price point, no more cable and using a phone, and size it’s a home run. I sold my Mavic 2 Pro. I just never brought it on trips, I hated setting up my phone with it, and packing it. This is perfect. Small, under 250g, easy pull out and shoot. The best camera for job is one have on you, this is that tool. I just hate how people think cause it’s not a 3K drone can’t make any good living, or quality video out of it. Just my opinion of course.

All of the mini's are incredible starter drones. I owned the mini, mini 2 and now preordered this. I shoot real estate full time and these drones fit that spot perfectly. It never was about price, its about me being able to fly wherever i want. If it wasn't for regulations id have the mavic 3 pro, so the mini's will have to do.

Great video, and the first one I’ve seen today discussing the 8bit color depth and comparing with the Air2s. That’s the info video shooters really need to know. Nice job!

[Spootyskater]

As an "emerging professional" looking for the "ideal first drone" I think this does more than enough for me

[TheRezolutionPhoto]

Hallelujah! I finally found a channel that understands the real concerns. Of ALL the reviews you are the only one that mentioned banding when grading DJIs "Cinelike".
Thanks for the excellent rundown on features and specs.

This review convinced me to buy this one. I have the OG Mavic Mini, and the quality is just not there what I want any longer. This one also fits my budget. Well done.

[OneShotFilmmaker]

The only video I need to watch when something new comes out because I know you’ll cover everything

[dsmolks]

Spot on, concise review and comparison to air 2S. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

[karlhouser]

Strong functions are not limited only to bigger drones anymore. Impressive features on the Mini 3 Pro!

I've already made the switch from air 2s to mini 3 pro. Love the mini 3, although there are a few cons - not as stable in wind, no d-log, gets hot, etc. d-cinelike looks amazing after color grading, vertical gimbal, tilt-up camera are worth the trade off to me. Haven't flown the air 2s since getting the M3P

[sarrieeldin]

Very thorough and to the point, in fact the best I saw about this drone so far !

[puspakamalrai]

Hi i an 16 yrs old and recently started my cinematography...
Really your videos encourage me a lot!
Hats off!!

[Hudge]

Wow Parker. What a fantastic and THOROUGH run-down! Especially comparing with the Air S2 (I really haven't given drones a shot at all, never even used one) so when you say, "You're probably gonna be wondering about *this other model* …" THAT is what I love about solid reviews. You compared the previous generation — AND THEN even covered how this Mini 3 compared to another similar model. Thanks so much

[kennydouglas]

Thanks for a great review! I'm glad to see the new remote control with the inbuilt screen. I used to own Mavic Air 2, and it was a nightmare connecting the big iPhones to it. This one looks really good!

[michalwalks]

I'm happy I didn't spring for the mavic 3 now... The price difference makes this much more worthwhile (for me) as if I lose the drone it won't permanently get me out of the drone game due to lack of funds to replace the body.

[GaryElGringo]

Always appreciate your honesty and recommendations in your reviews.

[jpgarza]

Surprise!! it now has 10 bit on D-cinelike color profile

[mikeanderson]

Thanks for the info, good stuff! Does it have follow me modes?

Note: At the 2:27 Mark you do not have to drain you phone on the DJI mini 2 there is an option in the settings to jump power from the controller to your phone thus saving battery drain.

Note: 7:16 mark the location of that rock is 355 Red Hills Pkwy, St. George, UT 84770 for those that are curious.

I would say this is the true spiritual successor to the OG Mavic Air with a sensor 77% size to that of the Air 2S. Not to shabby. It does have 10-bit in D-cinelike in the newest firmware.
