i dont understand why the people doesnt give you like as much as your content deserve but its an amazing content bro 🙏🏼

That was an awesome comparison. I own both and I was wondering what am I giving away by shooting with the mini. Apparently not much. Although you can see the advantage the Mavic has over the mini when it comes to low light, but as far as sharpness, especially shooting stills at 48MP, I like the mini more. Also its panorama looks better.

Edit point:

I had to come back and watch the video again. After several months of not using the Mavic 2 Pro, I picked it up again, and realized how big, heavy and cumbersome it is compare to the Mini 3 Pro. I'd say unless you are traveling to a place that is known for high wind, don't even bother. The Mini 3 is the new king.

The fact that the video is made with enough love to sync the video transitions with the beat of the music is worth a like itself haha

[capturedbyfabian]

The colors definitely look better on the Mavic 2 Pro but overall I’m feeling like replacing the mavic 2 Pro I have with the mini 3 pro for convenience.

Thanks for the reviews! One thing I do wish you would have mentioned. The remotes. While the Mavic 2 Pro remote is lightyears better than the Mavic 3 remote, the Mini 3 Pro RC remote is WAY better than both, IMO. It has insanely good range, controls, and visuals without any separate device requirement. That alone has been the biggest reason I sold my Mavic 2 Pro and 90+% of the time I fly my Mini 3 Pro. 

Oh, and lenses and settings. Which settings were you using in these videos? HDR on the Mini 3, etc? (Perhaps throw these on the description field on your raw videos?) 

The lack of variable aperture is probably my only complaint with the Mini 3.

WOW! Exceptional video. No one should be shocked that the Mavic 2 Pro produces better images. However, I have been pleasantly surprised at the quality coming from the 12MP camera on the Mini 3 Pro. As is the case with most wide apertures, the latter tends to produce images that are soft in the corners. Great job.

First time here at this channel and I must say, I really love the content you make. This video with the amount of details and side by side comparison of the individual drone’s video quality amazes me! 10:23
Hats off for the effort! 🙌🏻

[ClaudioDesideriFilms]

You did a great job, thanks for such a detailed comparison 😉

I have noticed on the second hand market mavic 2 pro sells for less than the mini 3 pro and is arguably better. I will buy the mavic 2 pro.

Thank you for the comparisons and the spreadsheet with the specs!

[PolarEcho]

Love the review, and thank you for the comparison sheet. Super helpful!

[Rogier]

Thank you! Very helpful. I was looking for a side-by-side comparison and couldn't find one...

[AlChered]

Very nice comparison! You did great in matching shots between the drones! Thanks!

[txcellas]

Thank you for the informations! I am the 1000th like!😅

[ScottieVP]

Great video! What was the song during the photo comparison part?

[rocheuro]

yep. a proper comparison. hard to find a proper ones on yt. thanks for that. and btw. to me the conclusion is.. that 4 years old M2p is still insane good quality compared to similarly specs "wise" latest 4years newer drone. this is crazy. how good for its time 2018 actually the good old mavic 2 pro was! (still is) . crazy. Althou m3m pro is so close!, did you try to compare them in 10bit modes?

[ShaunBennett]

thank you sir. Shopping on ebay for the Mini 3 pro and saw a mav 2 for a great price.

[joelstolarski]

Great to find these 2 compared. Sold my fpv, still have my mini 1st edition. Still fun, but lacks any low light. Hard to decide. Thanks so much for the video.
mini and it's the
