Very capable, quiet drone at a great value!
A very capable, light, compact and quiet drone. Good for someone's first drone, good for someone who needs a budget friendly, very compact and capable all around drone or good for someone who is specifically looking for a smaller or quieter drone such as myself. I already own a Mavic 3 Classic, but the M3C is loud due to the larger more powerful motors and larger props, and I wanted something that I could use to get shots that I need in more populated/busy areas or at lower altitudes with people around without everybody in the shot looking up into the sky and searching around to see if they can see the drone. Not really great if you are trying to get a natural video of an area where people happen to be, such as a popular tourist attraction or various events and gatherings.....
The camera on this drone is really good for the size. In such a small compact camera they managed to squeeze out 4K at 60FPS and have it look very very good, with great colors right from the camera without having to shoot in RAW format and play with the colors, shadows and highlights in post. Most people using this drone will be more than satisfied even just using it in it's "auto" mode. I really like the fact that with this gimbal design, the camera is able to aim upward at quiet a steep angle, allowing you to get very unique shots of subjects or shots of the underside of something like a bridge. Also it has a vertical/portrait mode where you can get portrait (taller rather than wider) shots without it cropping the image and losing resolution, as the entire camera turns sideways in the gimbal. Very nice for getting up close to tall subjects, and using the previously mentioned ability to aim the camera farther upward, to get very unique and amazing shots.
The drone is very capable in the air, even though it weighs less than 250 grams. There is no issue flying this drone in moderate winds of 10-15 MPH and even with gusts, the drone and gimbal do a great job at keeping the shot stable. I personally flew this drone while there were close to 20 MPH winds out and gusts that were much worse, and I didn't have any problem at lower altitude. At higher altitude you might get a "strong wind advisory", letting you know that you might not be able to return home due to wind, but all you need to do in this circumstance is drop you altitude and pay attention to your forward speed to make sure you're making progress... There are actually videos of this drone being able to hover in place in 35 MPH winds on mountain sides..
Flight time for this drone, depending on the wind can be around 40-45 minutes.. I haven't personally timed any of my flights, but coming from my previous drones such as the Mavic 2 Pro, Air 2S, Mini and Mini 2, the battery life of this drone with the new battery technology is amazing and you get crazy long flight times.
The controller that comes with the Mini 3 Pro is very nice with the built in touch screen. The screen is more than bright enough to view in direct sunlight. It features customizable buttons that you can set to perform various tasks such as re-centering the gimbal or setting the hyperlapse cruise control speed. This drone and controller have very good reception as well, allowing you to fly quiet a ways away.. Obviously it won't be right up at the quoted spec depending on your area because of interference from things like trees, buildings, power lines and whatnot, but it's more than enough to fly off t least 1/2 mile, to a mile or two away in order to get the shot you want if you can't just travel there to launch. For example, if you want to fly over water to another coast line, or follow a roadway or railroad track to get long lasting shot along side of the object,Simply put, if you are either looking for your first drone, or you want a very very capable drone that isn't going to break the bank, and will also be a lot quieter than the other drones, go with this drone

I used this for my trip to the Palawan islands in the Philippines. There were no restrictions in my area to fly due to the smaller weight being less than 250g. Great for beginners like me and the result came out extraordinary. I think the younger generation will like this due to its feature to go from landscape to portrait mode (TicTok/Reels/Shorts). There’s great content out there on tutorials for how to fly it. The master mode and quick shots feature take away some of the skill needed for amazing shots.
I live in Hawaii so It also delivered on time with not structural damage or issues.

Super cool drone, it lets you know when you are in a no fly zone, when approaching aircraft’s are near by, if it’s too windy, etc!! I love the ease of operation. This is my first drone and I’m able to fly it with no problems!! Super happy with my purchase!! Also the video quality is phenomenal

Excellent drone. Sensors work very well detecting obstacles and photo and video quality is amazing. I like the remote without the screen better because footage is saved to the phone.

After losing my Air 2 in Hawaii, I got this and man, the ocean can keep my other drone. The size is a huge factor for me as i do this as a hoppy and don’t need to lug around a huge drone when traveling.

I’ve been a drone user years ago… back when Mavic 2 launched. But I decided to get back in the mix with the Mini 3 Pro since I seen so much positive noise surrounding it.
Most recommended going for the one with screen remote, but since I have a Galaxy Fold I preferred to use that screen for my view finder. And I absolutely enjoy this drone… I can take it with me anywhere, its a prefect drone to use on the go. I recently pursued my Part 107 license just to have for cases where someone might ask for my services.
