To be fair, I don't like the design presented in this video, and I don't think it will be the final one. Too many strange decisions, for example the placement and size of the sensors, the square looking camera, the gimbal wires, among other things.
DJI knows how to do good-looking drones, this one will be no different! Hope they will change a bit of the aesthetics. But feature-wise, it's going to be cool, but as most probably think, it's going to be expensive.
Designs that make it to this stage are pretty much cast in stone. I suspect the final release will be substantially the same as the leak shows. The weight limit is the highest priority - so to provide any of the new features, aesthetic compromises will be made.
And yes, it will likely be very expensive. The recent Mini SE is the new low budget offerring for "hobby flyers"... Expect the Mini 3 to be targeted towards "prosumers" who use drones for commercial purposes (YouTube included) and priced $1,000+ ($1,500+ if the new leaked controller is required). And I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a "standard version" Mini 3 that is cheaper, because that is what the SE is for.
Also, I bet DJI is gambling on brand name recognition, and the new Mini 3 will be more expensive than the Nano+.
Edit - I am also surprised that given the rabid discussion of Remote ID, nobody seems to talk about this as related to the Mini 3... I guess people are just assuming that all new drones will meet these requirements?
