Hi,
I bought my DJI Mini 3 Pro last week and have been doing some flying and reading a lot in this forum as well as watching videos on YouTube. Unfortunately, I should have FIRST read the forum and THEN bought the drone because DJI have a huge problem with it.
The 2 issues, actually:
1. The lens gets fogged. OK, since I'm dealing with photography, I realized what the issue with the lens is, besides not so good design (the rubber insulator isn't fit well, or it isn't made good enough), the difference in outside and inside temperatures. In other words, any device with a lens MUST be left out outside (take the battery out, though) for about 10 min so that the lens may adjust to the difference between the temperature inside your house/car and the one outside. This is especially important in climates like Ireland's.
2. RANGE. This problem is that M3P FAILS BIG TIME! The device has a declared 12 km range! Well, guess what the REAL range is? LESS THAN 500 M! I've done some tests which confirm so many complaints on the DJI forum that this drone is a total failure and DJI are NOT being honest about the specs of its product.
How can you sell a product with FALSE specifications? I could accept some difference in range but 500 m to 12,000 m is a HUGE difference!
I have to think what to do but most likelty, I will return it in the 14-day period and will try to go for the Mavic 3 Classic, or Mavic 3.
Here are some pictures of the range I managed to get which prove beyond any doubt that everyone complaining about it is right and DJI are obviously only replacing one drone for another. Well, that's a game and the product is a semi-product because it has a problem. I am not expecting even 7-8 km range but not to be able to send the drone even 1 km from the homepoint is pathetic.
I was careful to be in light of sight of the drone so that I could minimize the signal loss but, nope, the damn thing won't fly more than 455 meters which was the max range I could manage. Almost evey flight I had was would start showing range issues at around 300 m.
DJI, this drone is not cheap and if someone pays 1000 euro, the least he would expect is to have a product that works according to the specs you published.
