Would to see this on the Mini 3. Was such a great addition to my Mavic 3. It's already there for panorama so I assume it wouldn't be a great deal to add to all the time.

Maybe if enough of us comment on this DJI will listen to it's consumers and make it happen.

Hope you and your family are having a great weekend.

Yes + 1 on the cruise control for the Mini 3 pro. Not that I don't love it already, but it really does need some additional features to justify the rather large price difference over the new mini 3 and that one would be no cost to implement. Also waypoints in normal video, make it pro.

For its size the Mini 3 Pro is truly a beast.  Could be more of a beast with waypoints and cruise control.

+1 i'd love to see it as well , now you have released the mini 3 you need a few more differentiating features for the mini 3 pro . or sales will dwindle as the 3 has very similar specs ..

but i thought we hated it when dji does this.  are you telling me you would love to see dji put cruise control in the mini3p and block it in the mini3 so that they can further differentiate the products and make your mini3p purchase more palatable?  what happens when dji says they blocked waypoints in the mini3p so they can give it to their flagship mavic3?  would you like that?

Okay but the time it took you to go to youtube, search that then come back here to post that couldn't you have just summarised what it is?

No

Well, I usually look for the answers before posting questions, as it's normally quicker than waiting for someone to do the work for you.
You could have watched a few of the videos before someone gives you a written answer.

To summarise: it's a stick control thing

Ha ha, I am in work so can't youtube it. Also I hate trawling through ads about square space and all the crap on those videos - I appreciate the opinions of folk here that aren't trying to sell me stuff or products with their affiliate links. I am not a fan of youtubers like this, and they seem to be abundant.

it will become an art and a skill to make maximum use of what you can glean from yt.  yt is your friend; long before you can find your way around a general forum.  it's not until you get to the specialized hi-tech forums with the "experts" where they become best for exclusive use.  in the meantime, work it out on yt and as you find your trustworthy favorites and get to know all the tools and how to find the best content, it's actually a good deal when you are the experienced yt user and not just a casual browser.  blow off yt because it's only all about cats and kpop and adverts and you're missing out.

Don't worry I use it, just didn't feel like it today and I was working...what I will say is there is a huge amount of what us Scot's call 'guff' on youtube now. People hawking their wears and claiming every product is a must own - please buy it with my affiliant links! I'm not so into hearing this 10 times a day.

The Mini 4 Pro will have OA in all directions, and then we'll also get waypoints and cruise control...

Beware!
... that would be "bad news"!
The flight characteristics (e.g. in wind) would then probably also decrease very much...

I mean... the same could be said for the much more expensive Mavic 3 to keep features exclusive from the mini 3 pro.   But yeah I want these features

So I've flown the Mini 3 Pro at its altitude ceiling and even the plus battery, above 9000ft altitude the drone is unflyable.   seems weight margins on this drone are SUPER tight for the power output (at altitude)

Compared to the Avata and others that have a 15K ft ceiling.

Very good suggestion! I hope the DJI R&D and other teams consider and insert it as it requires some programming that has already been done and integrated in some of the drones. So it is a matter of priorities and I hope DJI listens to its customers. CHeers.

So, is Cruise Control implemented on Mini 3 Pro, using RC-N1? I did try it as mentioned on User Manual, but not work. ...
extrass from user manual: "Cruise Control: Set the function of the customizable button (C1 or C2 button for DJI RC and Fn button for the DJI RC-N1 remote controller) to Cruise Control, and press the customizable button and control stick at the same time to enter Cruise Control. The aircraft will continue flying at the same speed."

I think you will find that that is for Hyperlapse only.
