I’m a professional drone cinematographer using my Mini 2 on paid client shoots around the world. The Mini 2 is more than anyone needs. Beginner & intermediate drone pilots are limited by their knowledge & experience with cinematography …..NOT the drone. But if you’re a super rich dude and money is no problem…..definitely buy the Mini 3. But don’t think you’re getting better video. That rich dude still has shitty composition! I could use a DJI SPARK and get better video than a beginner with a Mini 3. My whole point is invest in your skills….not a more expensive drone! This hobby/profession is the best. I’m 100% hooked. I got my first drone only 2 years ago and now it’s all I think about! Love it.

The mini 2 is the better value and will satisfy 90% of all users. Plus it works perfect. Even if you want to get the mini 3 pro I’d recommend waiting until next spring to allow DJI fix all the glitches. PS. Never preorder or be the first to buy a new drone. Wait 3 to 6 months to let the manufacturer fix all the glitches. I have the mini 2 and plan to buy the mini 3 pro next spring.

My story started about 3 weeks ago. We are planning our coming up vacation and I saw the KZfaq ad for one of those cheap camera drones. I don’t know anyone personally who has a drone nor had I ever flown a drone. So I started doing research into what drone I should buy. Gradually my cost began to go from $100 to $300. After giving myself a top budget of $600 I decided to buy the DJI Mini 2 fly more package. After having it for the last 2 weeks I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m totally hooked. Even though I can see the Mini 3 Pro is a better drone, I don’t regret at all my decision. I had no idea how much I would actually love this thing at the time of my purchase. I now know I will probably get the Mini 3 pro next summer and I’ll be able to appreciate the difference between it and my Mini 2.

For me, it's all about diminishing returns. I can get 90% of Mini3 with a Mini2 for half the price of a Mini3. Neither has side obstacle-avoidance so not an issue for me as most videos require side avoidance. Active tracking can be done with Litchi/Maven/Dronetrack etc. I'm sticking with Mini2 for now.

Stuff like tracking is way better with sensors and front and back are the most useful ones although side ones would be nice aswell. Tracking is better and easier than via third party apps. Camera is a big step up (10bit, vertical, Cinelike, lowlight). So sure for many, a Mini 2 will be enough. But I wouldnt say you get 10% with the Mini 3

I just got my first "real" drone - the Mini 2 Combo pkg. Price was the real driver in my decision. I also picked up the Litchi iOS app (about $25) and am loving the automated way point missions that can be planned on either the web or on the phone. Litchi (or other 3rd party flying apps) won't be available for the Mini 3 Pro until DJI makes the business decision to release the SDK. I have a lot of manual flying skill yet to develop. I hope to take a big motorcycle camping trip this fall - and will love being able to video the country I ride through..... Being able to use Way Point MIssions is a BIG deal to me.....

The new v3 is massively superior, no doubt about that, BUT, I'm very happy with my little 2 as is, and I don't take any crazy chances for crash, and the video quality is nice too, so as much as I appreciate all the features and quality of the v3, I'll stick with my v2! Also, I have 4 batteries, antennas, chargers and what not for the Mini 2, and I'm not willing to sell them all cheap just to come up with half of the price I would need for the Mini 3 upgrade. But I love the V3 for sure, wish I could afford it as a second unit! :)

Very nice review Jeven! Like always. I really love your content, packed with information we videographers need. Regarding the drone. I am still very happy with my mini 2, although I am certainly interested in greater dynamic range and the low light capabilities of the mini 3 pro. I am not using the tracking a lot. Mostly, because even with the larger drones the footage is not really cinematic. But I have seen tracking videos with the mini 3 pro that were really good, even in a challenging location like a forest.

Your video is really brilliant and clear. Thanks for that 👍🏻 i've been flying drones for a while now, even the 'old ones' like yuneec quad copters, till the new eu-dronerules came up and i bought my mini 2. I've heard the specs of the 3 pro and sure it sounds great and it is, but for me the mini 2 is justperfect for now, the price combination of the fly more combo, and i bought me another 3 extra batteries so i got 6 batteries for the mini 2.... i'll pass on the mini 3 pro, not just for the price - but also the pity you cannot use ur filters or same batteries... so for me the mini 2 is still 'better' than the mini 3 pro. I do not do colorgrading, or use it for proff purpose, so i dont need the upgrade of the pro 3. Only thing i'd love to have is the 60 fps instead of the 30 fps on the mini 2. But hey, you have tobe satisfied at a certain point arent ya. Who know's what willcome ia year or two áfter the release of mini 3 pro. And how the drone rules still might change... 🤔 Anyway mate, great review, thanks again for that. Keep up the good work 👍🏻 Greetings from the Netherlands

Although new technology is awesome, I love my M2. I feel that at times we get caught up in the hype, however, when you look at what you are capable of doing with the tools you own you realize why spend more money. So what you don't have as many sensors and higher quality of the video. Just fly safer and when it comes to quality if you shoot the scene or take that picture with the settings you have.I feel that many professionals can't tell the difference let alone a novice like myself.
