As professional filmmakers, we always want to deliver the best product to our customers and therefore use the best equipment available to us. In some circumstances, a lightweight <250g Mini drone is the only option to go with when facing noise-sensitive areas or airspace restrictions, etc.

For those of you who wonder what you can do with a small drone like the DJI Mini 3 Pro, or Mini 4 Pro - here's the proof of the test, where we show how we incorporated this versatile drone into our anamorphic car commercial shoot featuring SIRUIs anamorphic lens lineup.

What do you think of the images the M3P's 1/1.3" sensor (euqiped with an anamorphic lens adapter)delivers in comparison to the Sony FX30 and ZV-E1 footage, which we used on the DJI RS3 for the rest of the shots? Does the Mini 3 Pro hold up and is it a valid option for aerial shots used also in professional video productions?

Best regards,

Ferdinand

Epic production.    For such a small drone the Mini 3 Pro is truly a beast.

Oh, thanks a lot!

It sure does hold its own. Nicely done.

A stylish production, as befits a BMW   That the Mini3Pro has assisted in the production is a true testament to its capabilities.

It worked out good fine for the drone. Color matching was a bit of work but with the result I'm totally happy..



With the car shots sometimes a bit more speeed would be fine for this little boy..

A bit of wind-assistance, maybe?

Haha - yes, that’s the way to go! ;)

To be honest - that’s something which does work more often than you think. But it is really hard to plan. And we you look on the bigger brothers of the Mini 3 Pro, it looks like the Air 3 and Mavic 3 series have a very solid performance.

Looks fantastic.

I have a Mavic2Zoom as well as the Mini3Pro. The bigger one does withstand the elements rather better, as you might expect.

And tracking cars or other (fast) moving objects become easier too.

I especially noticed that during this shoot. You can speed up the footage in post, but I like sticking to the 180 degree rule, because it looks more natural.

Oh, thanks a lot!

You're very welcome.  Hope you've had a great weekend.

You're very welcome.

Very nice to see!

The equipment is great, and the video it captures is even more impressive. It's outstanding. I can hardly believe such a small device took this. Does anyone know which company did the die casting for the metal parts of this machine？Is it this company? https://quibz.com/die-casting/
