Starting today 6/14 Costco has the Mini 3 on sale for $299. Incredible value.

I had this Drone since Christmas of last year, but it came with the RC-N1 controller that my mom ordered from Costco.

Hi! I got my dji mini 3 fmc for $600 yesterday in the SM city Cebu Philippines. Only i can see is WOW!

I have been saving up for one of these by doing work on my grandfathers 13 acres of land (bush hogging, mowing, removing stumps.)

mini 3 pro is too good of a model, that they have to stop the production loll. The only sad thing about mini 3 is that there is no active track, but the small loophole you suggested looks great! So I will go for this! Thanks!

My DJI Mavic Air 2 is sitting on an isolated, inaccessible marshy headland, where I lost it in April, only about 500m away from where I was in one of Northern Ireland's biggest towns. Away it went - then almost instantly, 'Signal Lost', and it refused to Return To Home, despite being close to me, despite having phone masts etc all around for signal strength. I had no way to reach it - hovering over a distant marshy field, with fields of flooded marshwater and chest-high rusty barbed wire and overgrown hedges preventing any way to get to it, so eventually, despite my frantic attempts to get towards it in time, I hadn't a hope of reaching it. It ran out of power, and dropped into trees and marshy ground below, where I finally got a brief, final 5 seconds of video feed at last, and a final GPS map location confirming where it is. And there it is to this day, resting in the muddy, marshy undergrowth, on an inaccessible piece of isolated unused land. It's hard not to still get angry with DJI's software just refusing to return back where it came from, but well, that's why I'm mulling over getting a new drone, now...

Great review. The Mini 3 was my first drone and the one I'm primarily using to try to launch my drone related Youtube channel. Your Mavic Air 2 review was also helpful to me, as that is the other drone I have. Any tips for starting a drone channel would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Im taking my mini 3 to the beach tomorrow, hope to get some good ocean views😊😊

[MarilynRoseYT]

thank you for this review, you really covered so many topics! I am excited to use this for travel content mostly, and just hit purchase after watching many reviews including yours. got the fly more combo for $559 from abt 🎉🎉

[michaeldanforth]

Go with the mini3 over the mini 2 for the price difference the mini 3 is a big upgrade in the camera. And the flight characteristics are much improved

I want to get my first photography drone and have decided to get either the mini 2 se or mini 3. I have watched both of your videos, but it would be great if you could make a video comparing the camera quality of the two drones. Thanks

[LenMiDrones_photography]

I definitely want to get into doing some drone reviews

[eenjoch]

Just bought this with the standard controller for 330 euro's, can't wait to test this out

[Kevon]

So i recently got the drone the other day because of a crash with dji mini 2 se because of the range and at the beach it crashed i was thinking about getting it fixed but in that time i purchased the dji mini 3 and it felt more impressive than the last one

[treynolds]

The mini 2 se is still worth it so of course the mini 3 is. My next and second ever drone will be the mini 3 in 4 years from now when my fiance and then wife lets me purchase a new one with my allowance. Also with the range test and being able to go uo to 500m no way you only got to 1500m away. I did a range test sitting in my backyard with houses trees and got 3.2kms out and signal was still okay turned around cause battery was sketching me out and that was with the mini 2 se the mini 3 should easily be able to get 4kms in normal mode before signal lose.

Hey Dude, just bought my first DSLR hoping to create some small projects. A call could be useful just to get some insight on direction I should go to start growing a channel and the next bits of gear I should purchase. Thanks!

[nuraman]

If the DJI Mini 3 Pro with RC remote, and the DJI Mini 4 Pro with RC 2 remote, are almost the same price, do I go with the DJI Mini 4 Pro?

[nuraman]

So was the range of the DJI Mini 3 only 1.5 km? It never did closer to its reported 10km transmission range?

[shbif]

I recently purchased a refurbished mini 3 pro from the DJI store for $480. Two big disappointments for me, is it won't fly waypoints like my mavic 3 pro does, and it doesn't have cruse control. It would cost DJI nothing to add these features.

[chrisarbuckle]

Does this support thermal video? I'm looking to buy a drone to find a lost pet.
