Mini 3 has
1, a faster descent in sports mode 6m/s (Mini 2 only 3.5m/s)
2, longer battery and even more so when using the Plus battery
3, a more reaching gimbal = Roll -135˚ to 45˚ pan -35˚ to 35˚ (Mini 2 roll -20˚ to 20˚ Pan -30˚ to 30˚)
4, 1080p live view (Mini 2 is only 720p)
5, 1.7f aperture, upto 48mp, upto 6400 iso, lower FOV though at 82.1º (Mini 2 2.8f, 12mp, 3200 iso and FOV 83º)
6, 1080 @ 120fps, upto 150mbps
7, Obstacle Avoidance with APAS 4.0
8, Master Shots
9, Hyper Lapse and Time Lapse
10, DJI RC, its a bit more programmable than the N1 (new screened RC, its not for the Mini 2, yet!)
11, Occusync 3.0, the range, for the most part, CE over rural @ 5.5km (for me), is greater than the Mini 2 at only 4.8km, but the alignment is very sensitive, you have to be spot on unless closer in.
12, quieter than the Mini 213, heavier than the Mini 2 though so even a strobe may take it over the 250g, in the UK the A2 CofC is a way around that, till end of 2025
14, can fly in -10ºC and the warranty will be safe
I found that it was a good enough upgrade, although expensive over the Mini 2, the above does make a reasonable difference, enough so that i sold my Mini 2 but kept my P4. When you take into consideration the cost of inflation due to the war in Ukraine, the price doesn't seem too much of a great leap when you look at the cost of other products, everything is going or gone up. The Mini 3 Pro came out after the war started, i have a feeling DJI probably took that into consideration when doing the pricing hence the decent jump over the Mini 2.
In my opinion, folks above have based their opinion on 1 or maybe of the above upgrades, so for them, its probably not worth it, but when you look at the list as a whole, then yeah, its worth it especially if more than just a couple of those will be of use to you.
You can always use the Mini 2 controller or if you sell that buy a used RC N1 if you want to use 3rd party apps
I have not had the fogging issue as yet and i have flown straight from my house at 17.5C to flying in 0ºC (from my garden) |
