Great video sir, I’ve had both drones and they both have pro’s and con’s, the phantom 3 standard was my first drone as well. I tried to fly it indoors unbeknownst that Atti mode caused me to crash violently into the wall and I have a pretty gnarly scar on my hand from the props hitting it. Luckily I’ll say it didn’t get damaged I flew it awhile before I upgraded to a newer Phantom. I am quite amazed by the camera and range of the Mini. You’re right about the wind it really struggles I was making a video today flying in sport mode against the wind and could barely eek out 6-8 MPH I kid you not! That being said I’d still go with the Mini because if it’s portability and features but the P3S is still a great drone even today. Keep up the good work. The clip where the phantom plummeted and hits the ground was hilarious lol so much for the barometer huh? Here lately my Phantom 4 advance has taken a backseat to the amazing Mini!

[dronesgaming]

Who saw the phantom 3 hit the ground lol

[DroneViral]

6:06 wtf, look at the p3s why is it dropping and smashing into the ground 😂

[gemster]

@9:48.. You said that there is no easy way to connect an iPad? They literally sell tons of iPad holders that slide where your phone goes in the controller and then it has a arm that connects to the iPad??? So easy to connect...

[PodexGaming]

6:05 Yo what was that :D Phantom 3 going crazy

[JRthepyroguy]

Yes!!! Finally. Great video. I had the standard. Move up to the phantom 4 pro. The p3 standard will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you.

[RoccoGermani]

The video we've all been waiting for 😂 Great job man! The Phantom's got the power, but the mini's got the practicality. Both are awesome drones.

[steveference]

Thank you, Carson, for all your drone updates and tests. I, myself, purchased a P3 Standard two years ago and still enjoy flying it. Watched many of your videos about the P3 Standard to understand it, and they were very helpful when I decided to buy my first drone. I was able to get the P3 up to 38 mph in a straight line flight. Once again, thank you

[mo_omarin]

Please wind test because I am struggling on choosing between the two

[ZozeXxX]

Actually you can shot videos with 1080p 60fps with P3S. This option was available on DJI Go app in previous revisions but was deleted due to camera overheating concerns. You can enable 1080p 60fps with 3rd party app, Litchi on android devices. After that you can come back to DJI Go app and have 1080p60 functionality as long as you don’t choose otherwise. I found it worth noting in this comparison. Cheers, a great video! :)

What about maintence costs? Air filters, oil changes, timing belts???

[henrynicholson]

Amazing comparison Carson! Have been waiting for this. Also great to see your getting some sponsors for your vids. A bitter extra cash 🤑 you deserve it! P.S. thanks for the shoutout 🤪

[rodskt]

I still go with the Phantom3 standard because it's safer to fly, I took mine to many vacations and it handles perfect even on a very windy day when the mini it's way too risky to fly high up over the ocean... its 400$ gone very fast lol

[craigwflys]

Great comparison...well done. A video on Mini's ability or not to deal with the wind sounds interesting 👍

[upperdarbyriders]

i recently bought my first drone, the mavic mini fly more combo, its an awesome drone, i will be upgrading, thanks for these awesome and honest comparison vids.

[norabufrieh]

you had me at "it fits into a backpack"

[UnderwaterPaddy]

Great video. I've had both of these drones but recently sadly parted with the P3S since it was only gathering dust. It just couldn't compete on portability, but you did skip over a huge advantage that it did have. It works with the litchi app allowing for programmed intelligent flight modes that are really powerful, including sending the drone on programmed paths well beyond the range of the controller. I'm not sure if this is within legal regulations and it is nerve racking watching your drone disappear from view and waiting for it to hopefully return. I never had a problem with it and it's definitely worth taking I go account since as yet, the mavic mini has no support for litchi.

[annalisecapoli]

First!!! Yay! Love the vids dude keep up the good work!!! They are so helpful!!

[captmk]

Thanks, Carson. My sis bought a Mini a couple of days ago. I still have the Phantom 3 and Mavic Air.

[DivisionRc]

Damn dude I remember ages ago watching your phantom videos and forgot about this channel. I’m here finally with my first dji product: Mini 2 and I love your videos
