DJI Mini 3 Pro Review: Testing in the Real World

The DJI Mini 3 Pro is an incredible drone in a tiny package. The Mini 3 gives you 4k60 10bit color video 48mp photos all while obstacle avoidance and active track is working. This may be the best drone for solo creators and travelers. Since it's under 249 grams it also is an excellent choice for people who don't want to deal with strict drone regulations

I miss stated the 249g limit as 259g. it is in fact 249g, must have been the mountain climb...

Another great vid! I started solo creating this year, in January and had to learn, from scratch, from planning trips and hikes for the first time, researching gear, trying to teach myself shot placement, break introvert habits and try to be "interesting" while yakkin' at gear, editing videos, posting to YT, all that jazz. Since I decided to attempt to add drone footage (admittedly quite intimidating), your content has been a HUGE help and legitimately the reason I decided to wait a few months on the Mini 3 instead of going with either the 2 or the air 2s. I'm sure we all have "go to" channels to get info that's valuable to us, yours is one! Anyways, all that to say I genuinely appreciate the time and effort you put in to your videos and look forward to more :)

Nice video Jake. Appreciate the honest nature and lack of clickbait in all your video titles. Very refreshing in todays world. This is really building up my anticipation for receiving my Dji Mini 3 Pro I ordered 3 weeks ago. You have a new subscriber! Keep it up. 😀

Howdy Jake! Thank you for your excellent overview and testing of the DJI Mini 3 Pro. Most of the bugs and missing items have been corrected with the latest firmware update. That was one heck of a hike up to your perched location; what a view!

Love how you showcased Mini 3 Pro’s capabilities. I’m amazed by this tiny drone’s performance. DJI mini series keeps on changing the game!

Good point about the antennas. Having no vertical legs for antennas sounds like the reason for the lesser range than a Mini 2.

Great shots. Amazing photos!

Nice overview Jake! Truly an amazing piece of tech in a small package! The extended batteries, camera and RC controller make this a little powerhouse the top mini available albeit at a higher price. Beautiful video and stills! Thanks for the great content!

Hi Jake! We are really excited to discover your channel! Recently ordered a DJI Mini 3 Pro, and was surfing Youtube tutorials, etc. when I discovered your channel. Imagine my surprise when I quickly realized you're a few miles down the road from me! (I'm in Eagle River) I know this is an older video so you may not see my comment but I wanted to ask your advice on filters for the Mini 3 Pro, especially in "our" environment. Do you have any recommendations, brands, sets, etc.? Thanks & maybe I'll see you out behind Eklutna sometime!!! 😄🍻

Yes! Thanks for the review and the shots of Chicago 😁 Your comment about wind tossing the drone around is true for every drone. They all have limits and thus the reason to check conditions before you fly. Keep 'em coming!

Excellent Tutorial Video On The Mini 3 Pro. Thank You Jake!

[cyberhawk]

Wow, thanks Jake for your honest review with fantastic video footage! I hope you got more sunny days in Alaska while we got lots of extra rain in Seattle this past month :) Did the bigger battery help it fly better in wind and did you tinker with Transmission settings to get better range?

[waynetozer]

Man, your backyard is awesome 😎. Great video 👍

[FlyZoneFpv]

Awesome video brother. Wow great job on the shots you took especially our hometown of The city of Chicago. You rock Jake👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[miguelsmith]

Thanks for sharing those epic views. Mini 3 Pro did a fantastic job capturing them!

[blueknight]

I just got mine about two weeks ago, still playing with it and haven’t tested a lot of the new stuff. Can’t wait to do that.

[Wisskeyt]

Jake do you sell Luts for the mini3 Pro? I saw you sell Luts for the Air3 . Thanks in advance.

[matiasnovo]

I had no doubts about the change from 2 to 3 mini. Thanks for the excellent video. What music did you use at the beginning? I adore

[MrEddieNunez]

Intro had some incredible dynamic shots

Hi Jake! Had the pleasure of trooping with Melinda last Sunday. Such an honor to meet her and hope she passes along the hello's I sent to you. It'd be a blast to troop with you guys way up north there someday. Big Props from TK40462 to you. You really inspired me during my build in 2020. Loves from Ohio!

The time it took to put this together… Great review! (As always) I really enjoy your views on products, very professional. And those landscapes!
