I’ve seen many reviews of the mini 3 and have it myself.
Your reviews just seem so simple and easy to follow and understand. Being independent you know your getting an objective truthful review.
Many thanks

A good reason as to why I trust Captain Drone’s reviews is because he reviews plenty of drones from basic to professional so his bar is raised high which allows him to be nothing but completely honest about the drone’s limitations and if they are considered good limitations or the company could make changes to better the drone.

[henrytaaffe]

the most honest reviewer on drones planes and rc cars.no.1 captain.

[chadgarber]

Did they fix the focus issue? Seems like that makes this drone useless?

[macdog]

This is the review I've been waiting for. Some of those who 've received the drone early have been good, though it's been interesting to see the backtracking after the initial effusiveness. Yours is the review to trust.

I've also owned a mini 3 Pro since release date.
It's the most honest review I've ever seen!
Thanks.

One thing I dislike about the Mini 3 is the lack of quick release props. Ok, none of the sub-250g drones have quick release props, but it took me 30mins to change the props on the Mini 3. The screws were so well locked with the locktite, the little screwdriver that comes with the drone would not budge the screws. I had to get extra long pliers to grip the screws and twist them off. Thus I recommend buying a screwdriver with a larger handle for added grip and leverage. Otherwise forget about changing the props in the field.

I love your channel. Question: Why don't you have any videos about the DJI Mini 3? You have DJI Mini 3 Pro videos, but I can't find any DJI MIni 3 videos?

I bought the Mini 3 Pro based on your reviews last week. Was so excited to fly it, but then i started seeing all of the bugs. The snapshot camera was okay if you tilted the camera down a little. Straight out the picture was dark. The video was horrible. At the single setting the screen was so bright that you couldn't see anything. At the 48MP setting the picture was very, very dark (during these tests, it was a bright sunny day).

Called DJI tech support and they said the camera was defective and they said to send it in for repair. The drone was only 3 days old and I just returned it. I won't be buying another one mostly because I found out that all DJI drones can only track cars and people. Wanted to track my tractor and it wouldn't lock on - so see ya DJI, hello Autel!

Of the years I've been flying and reviewing I've never seen a more complete drone all around. Buy with confidence, it's worth the money.

Capt Drone!!! Your reviews are always so good and entertaining. Yours is one I trust online. Thaks for all the hard work not to mention the umteen cameras you set up so we get a GOOD view of what you are trying to present. I have the Mini 2 setup from a few yeara ago. It was so eay to fly and I really liked it except for one thing. Not being able to see the screen on my Android phone when the sun was out. I really was hoping the new DJI remore would let me add the Mini 2 to it but I guess that is not the case. I was thinking of buying the Mini 3 Pro a while back but hesitated. I got an email this week from DJI and was getting ready to pull the trigger when I said I need to find out what Cpat Drone said about it only to find I had watched your video a while back but forgot I did. When you showed the new remote in sunlight and the screen was black convinced me to take a pass on the buying the new setup. Guess I will wait until they improve the screen on the remote before I buy it. Thanks.

The best review I have ever seen. I like every single second in it, especially obstacle avoidance part.
Thanks so much Steve for this great video, you have done lots of efforts and time to bring this wonderful review for us. ❤️

Excellent comparison, especially the range test. One thing I would add is the smart controller causes issues if you pinch the controls (they assume thumbs) which makes it very easy to hit the menubar and pop up the dji fly app in the middle of the flight. I had to create a cover to prevent that from happening. My thumbs shake especially when I'm nervous. Wish they'd add an extra inch between the display and the controls we pinchers could rest our thumbs on the controller next to the stick. Anyway another great job.

i have a small drone youtube channel on drones and captian drones channel got me into drones and inspired me to start my channel. i love how he makes new videos every few days, thank you captian drone!

[gadreem]

Great review, no other reviewer mentioned the points of over heating. And the fact the rotating the controller will not change the picture.
No landing lights, is a minus if you plan flying at night. Thanks Steve

[qualudia]

Steve, excellent and very fair review. This is the first review that I have seen that is telling it like it is. Unfortunately so many of the reviewer‘s on YouTube are very very pro DJI’s. A lot of my questions were answered in this part 1.The active track is impressive no doubt. I look forward to your part 2. After all it is not a professional drone.

[ididitfinallythankyou]

The obstacle avoidance was pretty impressive. I am liking this drone.

[arndtbrinkmann]

I would love to buy this but can't afford to pay the amount that I would have to. Do you have any other recommendations of mini drones that have obstacle avoidance?

[rafaelventura]

Like I said from this channel, Steve is the perfect person to show drones review, I’m waiting for that review.
