Hello Guys,

After one year of waiting, I have now the opportunity to buy a mini. Last year I had a Mini 2 for 3 Weeks, so I already got some experience with the mini Lineup.
Now I'm undecided whether I should take the mini 3, mini 3 pro or the new mini 4 pro.  
My plans for the drone are to use it while Traveling and do some projects at home for several YouTube projects.
Now it's the question which one should I get? I watched already several videos about the normal Dji mini 3 and mini 3 pro. What are your experiences until now?

I look forward to every answer
Greetings Erik

The Mini 4 Pro is the latest and greatest at this time. Price of the 3 pro and 4 pro are about the same so I would spring for the 4 pro. However, if money is an issue, I bet the 3 pro will have some sales soon and it's a great little drone.

Wait a bit until more feedback about the Mini 4 Pro comes in

Don't be tempted by over-sharpened shots ...

Mini 3 Pro is very mature right now

@space dream, you make a very good point. I bought my Mini 3 Pro a couple months ago - before I knew anything about the Mini 4 Pro. I started hearing about the Mini 4 Pro release and had a little buyer's remorse but to be totally honest, I really like the Mini 3 Pro. It does everything (and more) that I need at this time.

I guess I will take the mini 3 pro after reading some reviews. The mini 4 pro does not have any special new features I need

I guess I will take the 3 pro. Seems really good and all new features of the 4 pro arent that important for me. Thanks for your comments

At the same price, your choice is illogical.  The 360° obstacle avoidance, Waypoints & Cruise Control, landing light, ActiveTrack 360, O4.  Even if you don't use them wouldn't it be nice to have these features available?

Yes of course, but the problem with the Mini 4 Pro is the C0 certification in Europe. This makes your max. altitude 120m. I have heard many people saying that you can't fly in mountains because the drone doesn't recognize the different altitudes when flying next to a mountain. So you can't climb a mountain with the drone because the height is counted from the starting point.
And I found a good deal on the Mini 3 Pro, which cost me less than the Mini 4 Pro

DJI Said the Mini 3 Pro will get the 120m restriction next year too.
