So virtually every new DJI product has leaks online before the actual official announcement
and in this video i'll be discussing what i uncovered from the usual suspects who post these
leaks on twitter such as osita lv jasper ellen's 27 leaks and deal drone so if you want to go
follow them that's cool let's get into this video. Hi, my name is Brett Garamella, and if you haven't

reviews and tutorials with all killer and no filler on my channel i skip all the fluff and
give you nothing but the good stuff because i value your time i appreciate the support as it
helps me make more videos like this one i think it makes obvious sense to compare the dji mini 3
with the dji's previous mini 2 and the recently released autel nano plus now dji has a track
record for releasing drones at a time when its top competitors release a similar drone so since
autel robotics just released the best sub 250 gram drone on the market the nano plus dji now wants to
cut into autel sales by releasing the mini 3. now the features i'm going to talk about in this video
are various editions obstacle avoidance camera and sensor size battery and flight time price and who
is this drone for now number one various editions a few days ago there was a picture showing a box
with a mini three pro with a controller with a screen built into it so perhaps the pro edition
of the mini 3 will come with a built-in screen kind of a more hobbyist version of the current
rc pro now the nano plus doesn't have a built-in screen so this would be an advantage for dji
if this is indeed true now also i found a website that makes drone cases and it has over here the
dji mini 3 pro series case it says this is for the mini 3 pro explorer edition so perhaps this
is the pro version of the mini 3 with the premium accessories next up is obstacle avoidance so the
dji mini 2 didn't have any obstacle avoidance but the autel nano plus has obstacle avoidance
in the front back and bottom now from the leaked photos and videos it appears the mini 3 has large
obstacle avoiding sensors that are much different than other dji drones on closer inspection there's
a notch behind these obstacle avoidance sensors with sensors facing the opposite direction
which you can't see in most of these photos and in this video we can see obstacle avoiding
sensors on the bottom so i believe this drone will have front bottom and back facing sensors
just like the nano plus so it's a tie in this category between the mini 3 and the nano plus now
next we move on to the camera and sensor size it appears to be a three axis gimbal for smooth video
nothing unexpected there there's space above the camera for the drone to tilt up 90 degrees kind of
like the para anafi that would be pretty cool the leaks say there will be a 24 millimeter lens which
to me is a perfect focal length for a drone with a fixed f 1.7 aperture so both of those are really
great at 24 millimeters and the 1.7 aperture the mini 2 had a f 2.8 aperture so the mini 3 should
be better in low light because of that and have better image quality since it's better glass now
the autel nano has an f 1.9 aperture so there's a slight advantage to dgi here if it's true at f
1.7 now let's talk about the sensor size which is the most important factor for better image quality
and in a recent poll i did right here on my youtube channel you guys said the image quality is
the most important feature you hope to see on the mini 3. so the sensor size of the nano plus is one
slash 1.28 inches and the mini 2 is one slash 2.3 inches so i think the mini 3 should have at least
a half inch sensor but since dji likes to outdo its competition the sensor will be around the
same size as the nano plus at one slash 2.8 inches what all of us are hoping for is a one inch sensor
but judging by the size of the drone i'm not sure that technology is available at a consumer price
now we'll have to see but definitely expect improved image quality from the mini 2 and
as good or better than the nano plus now next up is battery and flight time has a more powerful 2
453 milliamp hours so it appears this battery will have to be bigger and not compatible with
the mini or mini 2 but hopefully i'm wrong and that battery is compatible but i highly doubt
it now the nano plus flies up to 28 minutes and the mini 3 should be around 30 minutes
so the flight time is usually a lot less than what dji advertises it to be so you can see my flight
time test i did with the mini 2 and the air 2s up here and of course now it's time to talk about
price now the autel nano plus standard version is just under a thousand dollars and the premium
version is a little more than a thousand dollars so let's just call it a thousand dollars which is
the price tag i think we'll see dji have as well although we could see the price drop a little
lower than the autel just to entice buyers and not hurt sales of the mavic air 2 or the air 2s
and that's the thing about the current drone market dji has made so many stellar drones that
unless this drone has a one inch sensor it may not be worth buying for most people but let's see what
tricks dji has up its sleeve which brings us to who is this drone for i think this is going to be
a good second or third drone for professionals who need to fly in tight spaces or situations
where they're worried about crashing a more expensive drone now i think this is also going
to be for hobbyists or beginners who want a good lightweight drone they can easily travel with to
get great image quality and it will also be good for people living in europe who want a lightweight
drone with insurance from the manufacturer autel robotics provides insurance for the nano plus for
people in the united states and canada but not for europe so if you want the manufacturer's insurance
in europe dji is the only choice here now if you enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs up
helps me spread the word and it's good karma and when this new drone comes out if you want to get
