I missed the nacho cheese dispenser on all of the other review sites...truly you are a stickler for details, sir! Humor is greatly appreciated, and I truly enjoyed the rest of the video as I evaluate these two drones.
Thank you for this comprehensive comparison on the features. The price difference sure is well-justified. What a massive upgrade from the Mini 2 to the Mini 3.
Great video. This is the type of content that I look for when companies release products that are so similar to another product, or have very similar names. I clicked the like button. ^_^
Most detailed comparison review by far! Really appreciate man! New sub!! Btw, will the remote on mini 3 nonpro work on the pro one, and are the accessories interchangeable?
I have a question, what if youre using rc1 version of controller(the non screen version) but youre also using 4k phone, will the resolution will get better if youre also using mini 3 pro?
I am still using the DJI Spark (Yes, I know it is very old) and am looking for an upgrade and this review was the best for the difference comparison. For me I think the Mini 3 with the screen controller would be enough for the $200 price difference. I like that DJI is making the Controller future proof as it allows for less things to be orphaned when upgrading.
At 5:38, H.265 and H.264 matters quite a much. H.264 is a really *bad* compression algorithm if the camera moves, meaning there is a lot of difference between the current frame and the next, like rolling action wearing the cam chest mounted when riding MTB or mounted on a car, H264 has always lots of artefacts, low compression rate, huge files, almost like uncompressed, honestly, you better use ProRes RAW (if available). No such problems with H.265 algorithm. If the camera is mounted stationary, like filming an interview or so, there’s not such a difference between H.264 and H.265 (aka HEVC).
Umm, ProRes RAW for a 4K video stream would be 12x the size of H.264 (nevermind the fact that none of DJI's gear can record in ProRes RAW). As for H265, the main benefit is size (about half the size of H.264).
@@Dcrainmaker that with the ProRes Raw was a joke. H.264 used during a bike ride are significantly larger as like filming e.g. interviews. The compression algorithm of H.264 looks basically what’s the difference between current and prior frame. The more different pixel the worse the compression and artefacts.
The significance of h265 is not additional computational overhead in post, its that for a given finite data rate it will give better image quality than h264
I suspect eventually. Though, I struggle to see how they'll differentiate it between the Mini 3 Pro and Mavic 3 Classic, at least with the current features.
Absolutely it is. I bet it won't be too long and Litchi app will close in on a few more of the feature differences between the regular 3 and 3 pro. Im debating upgrading to the mini 3 base or a Air 2 fly more combo used would be same expense as the base mini 3. Tough decision, i might just stick with the mini 2 and buy a 1911 a1 45 lol.
I don’t think Ai could narrate this any better apart from the audio glitching. I’m getting this too with and when using the Zoom wireless ME, levels set okay and wondered if you were using a DJI wireless mic set up with your Lavalier. Thanks 🙏
You’d be surprised how many random angry comments I get when people buy action cams and drones and use 265 and then their computer doesn’t work with it…
Good video! I stopped buying DJI until Inspire 1 and Phantom 3 Pro. I want to buy a mini for my trips because of its weight and transfer, Two questions. In the old DJI I use my iPhone mobile and when I go to very hot and sunny places, after several flights the screen of my Mobile iPhone gets dark and I have to stop flying and RTH because what I am not seen on the screen recording, everything goes dark... Will the same thing happen with the DJI RC screen remote control? The second question, will there be a way in the future to fly them with FPV goggles as in the case of the Phantom 3 Pro, I changed the rear HDMI input module and the Insipire1 already has it?... THXS
Sadly I live in a controlled AirSpace area. This is a problem with DJI drones. Some how they think they are the Governing body instead of the FAA. Hence why I own ZERO DJI products. 80% of 51 is 40.8 minutes. Very tempting till you use the realistic: Cut in half and add 5.
Am getting the mini 3 combo plus with the RC for 756 USD after 125 USD discount so now should I go with the mini 3 or the pro? Spending 370 USD more really worth for the mini 3 pro?
damn it i was going to buy a mini 3 but now im unsure if my laptop will run the 264 or 265 format things. the laptop is a HP one still going strong bought in 2015. dont fancy shelling out a grand on top of that for a drone too. gutted!
🤣... as a chinese guy, the market stretergy very chinese . Cutting most software controls to make two machine look/ have many differences. Because human like to choose between 1 option, Instead of only having 1 option. keeping the customer in the circle (company)
Perfect video answered all my questions. But also created a new question. Since I no longer want the 3 base model. Do you feel like selling me a used Mini 3 Pro?
Does low reso stream controller view affect the actual resolution of video/photo taken from the drone? or the video taken stays at 1080 - 4k reso, regardless of the resolution streamed in your controller view? Thanks for answering! :)
as always, great review, succinct, chockfull of info, I always end up feeling I have finally listened to the guy who really knows what he is talking about. With the Mini 3 now $90 off, thinking of getting one of those, already have the Mini 3 Pro, don't use most of the fancier stuff on it...Thanks for sharing...
Would have loved more comparison videos.. mini 3 vs mini 3 pro videos. Lots of videos on the mini 3 pro but not the normal mini 3. Good video tho, thanks
Happend twice so far to be questioned by jandarms. They are not aware about legal requirements but they "know" something is not legal about drones. I had to google and show them they are wrong.
No class markings. Though, the class markings was again delayed earlier this year, to Jan 2024 now. I suspect we'll see DJI do what they did for the Mavic 3, and offer retrofit labels.
Great comparison, thanks... Here my question: any difference in low-light for pic/video? TY If asked already sorry, couldn't fine in the 233 comments :-D
