Transcripts
in this video I want to go through dji's
lineup of drones to figure out which
drone is the best for you whether it's
the mini3 Mini 4 Pro air3 mavic 3
classic mavic 3 Pro there's a wide range
of features that all of these drones
have but there's also unique things for
each drone and depending on your
situation you're going to want to pick
one drone over the other and so in this
video I'm going to show you a ton of
footage from all of these drones but
also I'm going to talk about all the
features that make make them different
all right let's get into
[Music]
it so the drones that we're talking
about in this video is the Mini 3 mini4
Pro air3 mavic 3 classic mavic 3 Pro and
then the cine version of the mavic 3 and
so this is the lineup of the newest of
each model from the cheapest to the most
expensive and I know there's other
drones in dji's lineup That kind of fill
in between these drones however this
video would be super long if I went
through every single drone and also
these are the newest versions of each
lineup so these are going to be the
drones that you're most likely going to
want to get and so first let's just talk
about price because there's a wide range
here so the mini3 sits at 469 the Mini 4
Pro sits at 759 the air3 sits at 1,99
the mavic 3 classic is at
$15.99 the mavic 3 Pro is at
$21.99 and the mavic 3 C is
$4,799 and this is for the base model
which is basically the Drone the cheaper
controller and one battery so it's only
the essentials to be able to start
flying however most of us are going to
want to get the flymore package which
has multiple batteries and a few extra
accessories that just make it a lot
easier when working with this drone and
so you can see here on the screen here's
the prices of the flymore package with
the more expensive controller for each
one of these drones so there's different
price points for each drone and once you
find the Drone that you're looking for
you're going to want to have to decide
if one battery and the cheaper
controller is enough or if you want to
get the flymore package which has all of
the different accessories plus the three
batteries now with all of these drones
you should consider getting dji's care
refresh program and they have options
for either one year or 2 years and DJI
will replace your drone for a small fee
if you crash it if there's water damage
if there's a fly away or just from
natural wear and tear and so you could
have coverage for either one year or 2
years so you have peace of mind when
you're out flying and this is something
that you purchase right when you get
your drone and so if you want to see
more information about the DJI care
refresh I'll include a link down below
description to where you can check out
all the details about this program and
the different prices for each one of
these drones now there's three styles of
controllers that you're going to be able
to use with these drones there's the
rcn1 or rcn2 which is going to be the
most stripped down controller and this
one you use your phone in and there's
two versions of this depending on which
transmission signal you're using and
then the next size controller up is the
DJI RC and there's two versions of the
RC depending on which transmission
you're using in your drone so both of
these controllers have a screen built in
and they have more features on the
controller themselves to be able to give
you more buttons and flexibility when
you're flying the Drone and then there's
the RC Pro which has even more advanced
features and it has things like an HDMI
out however this controller doesn't work
with all of these drones you can only
use this controller with the mavic 3
drones so if you're getting one of the
other drones you're just going to decide
between the version of controller that's
going to hold your phone or the RC that
has a screen built in personally I like
the RC because it just makes it a lot
easier to fly and I don't always have to
have my phone in the controller now one
of the big deciding factors of which
drone you're going to want to get is
going to be the weight so the mini3 and
the Mini 4 Pro are both sub 250 g and so
depending on where you're at in the
world you might need a drone that's
under 250 g and so you're going to want
to stick with the Min series of drones
the other drones are all going to be
heavier and when you look at the air3
and the mavic 3 Series they're similar
so the air3 is closer to size to the
mavic 3s versus The Minis and the air3
is 720 G and the mavic 3 classic is
895 G and the mavic 3 Pro is 958 G
however with all of these drones they
still are small enough to fit into your
backpack and so I just want to show you
side by side here is all three of these
drones with the RC controller in my
backpack and you can see how much space
the mavic 3 Series takes up versus the
air series versus the miniseries and so
if you're someone who's really focused
on travel or you need small drones well
the mini might be a good option because
they are so small and also with a small
drone comes smaller Batteries Now the
controller is going to be the same for
all of them so it's not just the size of
the Drone but it's all the accessories
that you bring with it however even with
the mavic 3 Series being larger they're
still easy to travel with I've taken my
mavic 3 Pro on different documentary
trips and I've easily kept it in my
backpack when I'm going on the plane and
when I'm out hiking with the Drone the
good thing about all of these drones and
DJI lineup is they're all small and
compact to be able to take with you
anywhere it just depends on how much
space you really want to save and if the
Mini 3 makes sense with the other
features versus getting one of the
bigger drones now also with size and
weight you're going to have more wind
resistance on the heavier drone they
have more power and they are heavier
when you're working with the miniseries
they're lighter and they can be pushed
around a little bit more than the mavic
3 so if you're working in super windy
environments that might be something to
consider and your mavic 3 drones are
going to perform much better than the
miniseries now probably the biggest
difference between all of these drones
is the camera and the gimbal setup and
so on the mini and the air you have a
one and 1/3 in sensor now the big
difference with the air is you have two
cameras so you have one WI lens and then
you have one telephoto lens and this is
a huge advantage of the air3 now on the
mavic 3 you have a 4/3 in Hustle BL
camera so you have a really nice sensor
on these bigger drones and it's also a
much bigger sensor so you're going to be
able to get better photos and especially
when you're shooting in lower light
situations now the big difference
between the mavic 3 classic and the
mavic 3 Pro is the amount of cameras so
on the mavic 3 classic you just have one
wide camera that's equivalent to a 24 mm
but on the mavic 3 Pro you have three
cameras so you have a 24 mm a 70 mm and
then 166 mm so you have a wide range of
focal links that you can use when you're
out filming and so across the entire
lineup the wide lens is always a 24 mm
you'll find that on every drone the air3
has a 70 mm second camera so it gives
you this super zoomed in punched in look
and on the mavic 3 Pro you have that
same 70 mm telephoto but then you also
have that 166 that gives you a ton of
range when you're out filming to really
zoom in on your subject now on the air3
both cameras are the exact same sensor
it's both the 1 and 1/3 in sensor and
the wide camera opens up to an f1.7 and
the telephoto opens up to an f2.8 now on
the miniseries they're both 24 mm at an
f1.7 when you get into the mavic 3
Classic this is where there's a huge
differentiating factor between the mavic
and the rest of the drones so on the
mavic drones you have a variable
aperture meaning that you can change it
it goes from an f2.8 to an F1 11 gives
you a lot of flexibility to be able to
change up the look of what you're
creating but also if you're using
something like ND filters you could just
close down your aperture instead of
having to put an ND filter on front of
your lens and so it's going to give you
more flexibility when you're flying in
the sky especially when you're shooting
full manual because you'll be able to
use your aperture to adjust your
exposure versus having to rely on your
shutter speed and your ISO to do all of
your changes now on the mavic 3 Pro the
second and third camera are not the same
sensor as that 4/3 Hustle BL camera so
the medium is a 1 and 1/3 in sensor just
like the air3 and then that 166 mm is
a/2 in sensor so you do have a little
bit of a difference between all three
sensors on the mavic 3 Pro on the 70 mm
it's an f2.8 and on the 166 mm it's an F
3.4 so you also have an aperture
difference between all of the cameras
and so for me personally when I've been
working with the mavic 3 Pro versus the
air3 I like the fact that the air3 has
the same two sensors so that when I'm
switching between my cameras it makes it
a lot easier to match the footage there
is a slight difference when you're
switching between all three cameras on
the mavic 3 Pro however working with
this drone geared towards creators who
do want to have more control of your
image and it just takes a little
adjusting in your editing software to
make all three cameras match perfectly
now another huge differentiating factor
between all of these drones is going to
be obstacle avoidance and really it's
the difference of the Mini 3 versus all
the rest so the Mini 3 has no obstacle
avoidance and with that there's no
tracking or way points on all of the
other drones you have 360 obstacle
avoidance so this allows you to fly with
a level of confidence because you'll
know that you're not going to run into
objects when your obstacle avoidance is
turned on and so when you're working
with the obstacle avoidance on these
drones if you're flying to the side to
the front up or down it's going to be
able to detect objects so that it
doesn't run into them and so when you
have this obstacle avoidance you have
things like tracking and all of these
drones except for the mini3 have
tracking now the tracking is a little
bit different between each however they
have the same features where you could
track from in front behind off to the
side off to some corner and there's
access to active track which is going to
be following a subject Spotlight which
allows you to control and keep your
subject centered the entire time or
point of Interest where the drone's
going to continue to do an orbit around
a subject while it's tracking it and
I'll include a video down below
description that really digs into the
tracking in these drones so you can see
how it works and how flexible it is when
you're out flying now in terms of
tracking all of these drones have quick
shots which is a stylized shot that the
Drone automat automatically creates and
so this is the only style of tracking
that you have in the mini3 and so for
example here is a boomerang shot where
the Drone starts in close it Loops out
and around and it comes back and you
have these different quick shots that
are accessible in all of the drones now
what's cool on the drones that have the
longer lens like the air3 or the mavic 3
Pro you can use those longer lenses when
you're tracking and also when you're
doing things like your quick shots and
so the next important feature is the way
that it records your footage so all of
these drones do both jpeg raw for
photography so if you need to shoot Raw
photos you have access to that on all of
these drones now a big difference comes
into when you're shooting video and if
you want more control especially when
you're color grading your footage so on
the mini 3 you only have access to a
normal color profile and so this is
going to give you just a baked in
contrast and saturation and it's also an
8bit 420 image so you're not going to
have a whole lot of room to color grade
now on the mini 4 Pro you get 8 Bit And
you get 10 bit so there's a dlog m
option which is going to shoot a flat
color profile and this also shoots in 10
bit 42 so you're going to have more room
to color grade with this drone now on
the air3 you have the same dlog M with
the same 10bit 42o and this is on both
cameras so you could color grade all of
this footage the same now when you get
to the mavic lineup of drones you not
only get normal and dlog M but you also
get dlog which is an even flatter
profile giving you more range to color
grade now I've created an entire set of
drone LS that are specifically geared
towards dlog m you've been seeing those
throughout this entire video this is a
set of color profiles that make it super
easy to color grade your footage when
you're working with dlog M on any of
these drones and so if you want to see
more information around this set of
drone LS I'll include those down below
in the description now with the mavic
series of drones you get 10 bit 422
which gives you more data so that you
have more ability to color grade your
footage so in the Mini 3 it records at
100 megabits per second on the mini 4
Pro and the air3 it records at 150
megabits per second and on on the mavic
3 it records at 200 megabits per second
so you get more information with the
mavic series of drones now this is where
the mavic 3 Pro C comes in because with
that drone you also get access to Apple
prores so you get a more professional
codec that makes it easier to integrate
with higher-end Productions and so the
cine version of the mavic 3 Pro is that
much more expensive because of this
ability to shoot at these higher data
rates which just give you a lot more
flexibility to work on your project and
also with the cine version you get a 1
tab inter internal hard drive so you
don't have to have an external memory
card when you're working with that drone
so on the mavic 3 Pro mavic 3 classic
and air3 you get 8 GB of internal memory
now on the mini 4 Pro you only get 2 GB
of internal memory and on the mini 3 you
don't get any internal memory and so
really the internal memory is only on
the mavic 3 Pro cine version the other
ones have just enough to grab a few
shots if you forget a memory card but
most likely you'll want to always use a
memory card when you're working with all
the other drones now in terms terms of
flight time all of them are relatively
similar unless you're working on the
lighter battery for the mini3 series so
if you need to keep your drone under 250
g there's a smaller battery for the Mini
3 and the mini4 pro which allows you to
keep that lower weight class and so on
these drones you have two battery
options you have the small battery and
then the larger extended flight battery
and so for the Mini 3 you get 38 minutes
of flight time on the smaller battery
and 51 minutes on the bigger battery on
the mini 4 Pro you get 34 minutes with
the smaller battery and 45 minutes with
the larger battery on the air3 there's
only one battery style and you get 46
minutes of flight time with that battery
on the mavic 3 classic you also get 46
minutes and then on the mavic 3 Pro you
get 43 minutes and so with all of these
drones that are available now they all
get a good amount of flight time up in
that 40-minute range and so there's not
a major difference between them unless
you're getting that smaller battery now
one big difference that I've personally
noticed when I'm flying all these drones
is the speed at which these drones
Ascend descend and take take off and fly
away and so the mini drones are going to
be much slower than the air3 and the
mavic 3 and I'm going to put all of
these times up on screen just so you
could see them all side by side and you
can see that the Mini 3 and the Mini 4
Pro are much less than the air3 and the
mavic 3 drone the air3 and the mavic 3
are very similar with the air3 being the
fastest out of all of these drones when
it comes to an overall takeoff descend
and horizontal speed and so if you're
someone who needs to get your drone up
you want to be able to move fast you're
going to want to get the air3 or the
mavic 3 drones you'll notice when you're
flying on the mini 3 Series that they
feel a little bit more sluggish
especially when you fly the drones back
to back now personally it's not that big
of a deal they still fly at a good Pace
however it is something noticeable if
you do want that extra speed and you
want to go super fast if you're say
flying across the landscape or if you
want a drone that can get up in the sky
quick and take off and get to the
location to start flying without taking
a whole lot of time now let's talk about
frame rates that you have access to in
all of these drones the Mini 3 only goes
up to 4K 30 frames per second and it
does full HD up to 60 frames per second
the Mini 4 Pro goes up to 4K 100 frames
per second and HD up to 200 frames per
second so you can get some super slow-mo
with the mini4 pro now the air3 has the
same as the mini4 pro so it goes up to a
4K 100 frames per second and Full HD up
to 200 frames per second and then on the
mavic 3 with the HOSA blood camera you
can go up to 5.1k at 50 frames per
second and for 4K it goes up to 120
frames per second now that changes with
the 70 mm and 166 mm because those
cameras only go up to 4K 60 Fram per
second so all of these drones do have
good slow motion options except for the
Mini 3 which is going to be limited by
which frame rates you have access to in
that drone now another big
differentiating factor between all of
these drones is going to be vertical
shooting so the Mini 3 and the mini4 pro
both have a camera that rotates so you
could do Native vertical shooting if you
do want to shoot in that format now on
the air3 you have a vertical mode but
it's limited a 2.7k resolution and this
is because it's just cropping in on the
horizontal sensor to give you that
vertical image now in the mavic 3
there's no vertical mode and you just
have to crop in on your horizontal image
so if you're someone who's going to be
shooting vertical content the mini3 or
the Mini 4 Pro are going to be good
options because you have that true
vertical shooting with the rotating
camera now also a differentiating factor
is going to be your transmission so on
the mini- 3 you have O2 transmission on
the mini 4 Pro and the mini air3 you
have 04 transmission which is going to
be the best transmission out of dji's
drones it's going to give you up to 20
km or 12 M of range between the Drone
and the controller and that's using line
of sight if it goes behind a mountain
you'll lose signal but it gives you a
ton of range for this controller to the
Drone so that you just have more
confidence when you're out flying so
that you have a strong signal now on the
mavic 3 you have 03 plus transmission so
it's not as good as 04 however this is
the transmission that the RC Pro uses
and so that's why you can work with the
more advanced controller with the mavic
series of drones now when it comes down
to deciding which drone is the best for
you I really think it comes down to what
it is that you're shooting and how much
the weight impacts and also how many
cameras that you want to have when
you're out filming personally the 70 mm
camera is something that I want to take
with me when I'm filming because the 70
mm gives you such a unique perspective
that you don't get on most drones you
usually have the wide lens which is
great however that 70 mm especially when
I'm working with a subject just gives
you so much compression and just a
completely different look that has more
of this cinematic quality and so for me
the air3 and the mavic 3 Pro are two
drones that I try to take out whenever
I'm out filming because with these
drones you have that extra lens
capability that gives you just more
creative potential more options when
you're out filming however if you want
to keep your bag super slim down but
still have a lot of flexibility
especially when it comes to something
like color grading then the Mini 4 Pro
is going to be the Drone that you're
going to want to get but if you're
someone who's going to be working with
clients you might want to get the most
out of your drone and so you'll probably
want the mavic 3 Pro cine version so
that you have the most flexibility when
you get to your editing software but if
you're someone who just wants to take
some family photos you just want to
shoot some drones when you're out with
your friends well then the mini3 might
be the best option for you because it's
the cheapest it's the lightest it's the
smallest going to be the easiest to fly
but one of the major things that might
set you away from the mini3 series is no
obstacle avoidance and no tracking or
any of those other features overall I
think all of the drones are great
depending on the situation that you're
flying in and if you want to see more
details about each of these drones side
by side DJI has a comparison tool on
their website and you can put which
drones you're thinking about side by
side and look at all of the data to
figure out if one looks better than the
other for your specific situation now
also I've created beginner guides for
each one of these drones and so if you
really want to see fully in-depth how
these drones work and all the features
that you get in each drone I'll include
links to all of those beginner guides
Down Below in the description and if you
want to know which drone that I person
personally like the most it's the air3 I
think it has the best combination of
being a super portable drone but the
flexibility of having those multiple
cameras and I like the fact that both
cameras are the same sensor so it makes
it a lot easier to work with it when I'm
in my editing software and I like the
smaller footprint of the air3 so I have
a little bit more space in my backpack
when I'm out filming now if you're going
to be using your drone to make YouTube
videos well I have a whole course series
that teaches you how to be a Creator and
how to grow a YouTube channel and
everything that I did to get this
channel over a million subscribers you
could check it out over at the Creator
film school.com and if you haven't
already make sure you hit that subscribe
button and let me know down in the
comments which drone is the best for you
but next you should check out one of
these videos over here which shows you
how to use these drones to get the best
looking footage when you're out flying
I'll see you on the next one
