All right so my mini 3 pro finally arrived after all this time so i'm going to unbox it
and i'm going to compare it to my air 2s and as you can see if i hold these two boxes together
it's quite smaller like a lot smaller than i suspected so if you're new to my channel i'm
Brett Garamella, and I make videos about tech drones photography filmmaking in order to help
you become a better content creator so if you haven't done so please subscribe to my channel
because i'm going to make a lot of comparison videos in the near future with the mini 3 pro
and the air 2s so let's jump right into it so we're going to start by opening this up
all right so inside the air 2s right here if we look at it side by side you can see i mean
these propellers feel a lot more durable this feels a lot like the mini 2 okay the propellers
they just feel kind of flimsy these feel a lot more sturdy actually the weight isn't a huge
difference in my hand just feeling it side by side sideways how it looks and it's nice the propellers
already come in because they know people don't want to screw them on obviously they're screw
in propellers whereas these you just put in with your hand okay you don't need a screw you
could just take off this gimbal cover you don't need this you can get rid of this it's just for
shipping obviously always keep your gimbal cover because that will protect the gimbal and keep
the integrity of the gimbal intact when the drone is not on whenever the drone is on always take off
the gimbal cover before you turn it on so it has all these little sticky things just is f 1.7 there
the front you can see it's much bigger gimbal this obviously tilts to the side the mini 3 pro
will obviously tilt okay 90 degrees where the air 2s does not do that so that's probably the biggest
difference there that i can see and obviously the different design where it can tilt up a lot more
then in the back you have your sd card slot there you can charge the battery right there or unload
your footage usb c slot but i usually never use it and then you just pinch these two here
the battery comes out battery it feels so light like so so light the air 2s battery is much
much heavier the difference in the size of the batteries right there side by side the funny thing
is the gimbal cover is actually a little bigger on the mini three pro so it has a very very big
gimbal cover i'm not sure why they did that maybe because of the design that it's different and it
shoots vertical photos and videos that they had to do that looks like it's almost upside down so
you can see the gimbal looks completely different than the air 2s all right so let's keep going and
we're going to now get down to the controller so this video doesn't get too long all right wow it's
pretty lightweight that's the first reaction i get and compared to the normal controller you can see
the size side by side yeah not too see in the back you can see the size difference but if i turn it
over yeah so the new controller is much bigger which sort of defeats the point of having a mini
drone but you need that bigger screen so it does make sense to have a screen screen in comparison
i have the iphone 11 so in comparison to my iphone 11 the screen is a little smaller screen
is smaller than my iphone it's a bigger controller and a smaller screen than my phone which is why
i probably would not get this with the screen it's just with the screen shift faster so that's
the reason i got it obviously cinematic normal sport mode very similar design c1 c2 button and
the controller sticks a little different design there the joysticks you can see the joysticks
right there i'm not going to put in the other one because you get the point they only sent i believe
one set of joysticks because i don't see another here let's open the box and see okay yeah in the
box they did not send me another joystick so they sent me a data cable which is usbc at both ends
which is nice and then they sent me a screwdriver that's for my propellers and then they sent me
obviously extra propellers but they only sent me two pairs which kind of stinks but i got
the fly more kit so with the bigger battery and i'll link to all this in the description below
and the quick start guides all right kind of a bummer you don't have more joysticks
all right so they only gave me a data cable they didn't give me a plug to char to plug it in i
can even use it with this because this is usbc i needed an adapter but i do have another cable that
i can use or i can just plug this into my computer but that's kind of annoying that they don't give
you something to plug it into the wall so the fact they didn't do this the fact they didn't give you
extra joysticks is annoying for a thousand bucks i should get that this is to charge the controller
as well as i guess this is for some extra another usb c port for something else and then there's
also a memory card there as well although i'm not sure exactly what that is used for comment below
let me know i don't think i'll be using that so i'm gonna go test this out and i'm gonna compare
these two drones now if i had to pick which drone i couldn't tell you yet all right i have to fly
it which is why you have to subscribe see my upcoming videos also has the obstacle avoiding
sensors in the back that looks pretty cool smaller and lighter but not by a huge margin
alright so air2s is actually thinner it's just longer and obviously heavier and it doesn't have
see this landing gear right here mini 3 pro doesn't have landing gear like that has a landing
gear on the actual bottom of the drone which the air 2s does as well but it doesn't have it on the
arms quite like the air to us all right so there you go you can get to see how these drones are
similar and different my name is Brett Garamella, Happy 4th of July, and remember, Fly Like a Pro!
