Second Chance DJI Mini 3 Pro + Remote Controller

I was amazed at the size of the drone. Well actually about the size of the box, but yes; it all fits! Before purchasing I watched the Coolblue video and other instructional videos. Essential for me as a drone pilot with zero experience. Made the necessary registration at the RDW (operator number +/- 1min on the RDW site) and the number stuck on the drone. In the Netherlands it is good to look for a location where you are allowed to fly and a weekend in the Ardennes with the brand new drone was therefore a godsend.

Automatic take-off and landing makes everything very user-friendly. The controller with the screen clearly indicates the situation of the drone and your flight. After that it is 'playing' with the sticks to master the movements. This is smooth and fast, so you might forget to press the record button the first time... Anyway, once you did, the images are truly fantastic. A selfie stick of 120 meters high and a line of sight to the drone (VLAS).

With QuickShare (DJI app) you can transfer the images to your phone to view them in high resolution. This can also be done by placing the Micro SD card in the phone, but my device does not have that option. Sharing the images is then a piece of cake.

You do fly with respect for your surroundings. Others may not see the fun of flying drones. Usually the reactions are very positive and people are curious about the possibilities. A buzzing drone is also not always a desirable spectator for animals. I think flying with common sense is most important for safety and tolerance. As indicated, there is a lot of 'red' on the DroneMap in the Netherlands. The reason for this is not always clear to me, especially when you look at the No-Fly zones in the countries around us. Keep this in mind before you buy a drone: where do you want to fly?! That prevents disappointments.

Yes there are all kinds of positions and no, I have not tried everything yet, but so far I am very impressed with the possibilities, the fantastic image and the memories of the places where I have stored the images.

The fly-more kit is invariably recommended, but I have to say that I'm fine with a single battery. I am not a cameraman or film producer, so the flights are to film or photograph a specific moment. Until the fly-more kit is available again, I think I'll be fine.

I made the switch from the DJI Mavic Air to the DJI Mini 3 pro.
Compared to the Air, it makes a much nicer sound.
The battery has also improved, but I'm really not going to get 34 minutes, I currently get 20-25 minutes.
The drone is equipped with all functions that also occur in the more luxurious/heavier DJI drones.
The camera quality is very good in my opinion.
Ocusync 3.0 gave me a range of 0.7km in a high interference environment & 2.5km in low interference environment.
Too bad that the "Fly more kit" or other accessories are not yet available anywhere.
All in all a very nice drone of only 249g!
