So it finally arrived but care refresh has not comes as yet. Dji, when will this arrive

first!

Hi there, Suren. We're glad that you now received your DJI Mavic 3 Pro from shipping. With regards to the DJI care refresh, did you purchase the plan in the same package with your unit? Please keep us posted. Thank you for your valued support.

Hi, Thanks. Yes I bought the 2 year care refresh when I bought the Mini 3 Pro.

My 2 cents on the Mini 3 Pro:

Build feels very cheap, including the remote but its a Mini so meant to be light weight.
Drone flys very well and very stable
GPS lock is amazingly fast compared to the Mavic 3
Camera Quality also looks amazing
Holds properly in 40km/h winds at high altitude
RTH works well

I am very happy so far with this drone based on basic tests. Still need to do proper testing but for now I am a happy chappie

I finally got the Care refresh code but your site keeps saying my phone number is incorrect no matter what I try so I cannot activate this. Very frustrating. I removed my number for obvious reasons to post this screenshot.

Great news Suren

Glad to see your findings are positive (cheapness "feel" notwithstanding) and are entirely in keeping with the fist impressions of others who have posted.

I can assure you the Nano+ has much better range compared to the Mini 3. Lets say I flew double the distance of the Mini 3 and only dropped 1 bar of signal on the Nano

It's a significant distance discrepancy.

I think the cheapness comment is quite subjective. I thought it was fine

DAFlys said he also thought it felt cheaply made.  Still, if it does the job and lasts the distance.....OK.

Time for a poll

Its a big difference, trust me veryyyy BIG but the Mini 3 range is not too bad as well. I don't see myself flying this small drone that far out any way and will be using it for very close shots. I actually really like it.

You and your polls.  I'll stick to my fence

It will certainly go far when the wind blows it away

Have you fixed a seat to your fence so it is nice and comfy

Bigplumbs Posted at 5-24 21:05

It surely will given its size

I'm encouraged my your findings, and those of others.  I don't anticipate flying further than about 500metres radius around my takeoff point, when out in open countryside, so I'm not unduly worried by the range limitations. Certainly my Mini One can achieve more than that under optimum conditions (yes, I did a range test when I first got it) but I haven't yet come across a situation where it needs to be further away than that.

Now last summer I had my leg pulled by all and sundry about the hat I wore in some of my pics.  Now you're starting on my seatings arrangements.  I could start to get a complex, you know.

At least you posted some of your own videos some on here seem only to comment but never post any of their creations

Yes, I'd dearly like to see stuff from around the world posted here that I'll otherwise never get to visit. Commentaries are always welcome. Then there are others who post loads of stuff but never comment on other peoples' offerings.  Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, I guess.

I envy especially for Plus batteries
Have a great fun with it

The plus batteries are nice but the standard ones give plenty of flight time in real life

I certainly hope so, but after many years of defining my flights by batteries endurance I am now spoiled by M3 "endless" battery life and I'll be glad to have a similar experience with Mini 3 - to get bored and get job done way before battery depletion

Hi,

i bought care refresh in addition, within 48hours after buy. Everything was without problem. Do you enter your number in international format?

Congrats Suren!

Incidently, I would love to hear more of your comparisons between the Mini 3 and the Nano+

enjoy good luck…

Congrats Suren.   

Congrats Suren.    I'm anxious to get mine.

Very nice first findings.  Confirms what I've been reading, including the cheap feel of the drone and remote.  Got to be really careful with the Mini3P because when you look at the design you'll notice that if it crashes into something the initial impact will be on the camera/gimbal.  Ian in London pointed this out in a recent video he did also.

Yes, the camera is very much at risk especially for newbie owners who flicks it into sport and fly into a wall or tree.

Thanks. I did a small write up comparing both drones in Mavic Pilots but will do a video and photo comparison as well. The Mini 3 is much more stable compared to the Nano, camera quality is about the same with Nano looking over saturated to me, the Mini 3 OA system works 200% better compared to the Nano. Mini 3 flew against 40km/h winds in sports mode at 53km/h while Nano could only muster 27km/h against same winds.

Overall, the Mini 3 wins hands down.

Yup, I finally managed to get it working using my phone yesterday.
