"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"The images out of the Air 2s were just....special. ... But there was something about the colour rendering and gradual changes through tones that was just so pleasing to the eye. ... The files were a dream to edit."
"I get the best photos with the Mavic 3 and 3E since they both have a 4/3rds wide camera sensor."
"the ability to take 360° photospheres should be standard on pro camera drones. That is a feature that is more useful than many realize. ... With DJI, it composites the picture on the spot which is the best way. ... What DJI defaults to on their 360 photospheres is really a good balance of quality and size for what you're getting and was perfect for Google maps"

"Avata 2 is a perfectly fine drone to learn on and an easy jump start into the hobby without the aggressive learning curve of soldering + basic understanding of wiring electronics together. ... Can’t see how it’s trash if you can just pick it up and fly with a free emergency brake as a beginner. ... Seems like the perfect training wheels"
"VERY easy to fly ... the most fun I've had in some time just for ease of use ... I gave my son (14) about 2 minutes of instructions then let him go with it. Super easy."
"I can fly full manual FPV and then have a failsafe button to stop if I f**k up. ... I've been flying DJI for a while and I'm actually scared to go back to custom FPV with no fail safes"

"I have the remote with screen. Is a totally game changer. Worth any penny"
"the screen controller is really convenient since it keeps everything separate from your phone—you don’t have to worry about notifications, overheating, or brightness issues in direct sunlight. ... It also boots up quickly, making it easier to get flying fast."
"Definitely get the monitor in the remote if possible."

"really nice flight times with 450 to 550 1s batteries that are cheap"
"This drone has the longest flying time of all the minis. ... If you acquire the battery plus you'll be able to reach 40min of flight"
"I fly 7 kms and then another 7 kms back with my mini 4 pro and no signal loss, with the smaller battery. ... With the plus battery it’ll do 9 or 10 kms each way."

"I crashed so many tines when flying with the mini 2 se that having propeller guards is going to make me more confident"
"Dji mini 3 its lacks obstacle avoidance"
"The Mini 3 is a fine drone if you don't need obstacle avoidance."

"Hubba tent has a single top tube, this design is made to be lightweight but it cannot withstand wind."
"I got caught in heavy storms in a field with a Coleman darkroom tent last year, it completely flattened and the poles split on two sides."
"But when it rains with a bit of wind, your feet and head get wet. ... It happens because no matter how you pitch it, the fly doesn't go to the ground at your head and feet. ... Rain hits inner, inner soaks through. ... The fly also touches the inner so it transfers moisture that way too. ... I got wet in the Hubba from consistent rain but it wasn't a storm or anything. It's just that the fly is that high up off the ground that the inner gets splashed, or if there's enough wind then the rain hits directly. It soaked my gear!"

"doesn't require non stop login and verification? ... the non stop login issues got really old. ... Switching to Chinese, not recognizing login etc.. ... It was great for about 6 months and then required logging in password resets every time I used it"
"However, one issue I had was that the app would close if someone called me, which can be a big problem mid-flight."

"mini 2 and mini 3 can't track ... mini 2 has quickshots, not active track. I owned both and both do not have active track."
"But one thing I wanted to point out is the Mini 3 has no active tracking so if you were interested in an autonomous tracking of a vehicle or yourself etc. you won't have that feature."
"I use a Mini 3 however it doesn’t track, so I just use it to film other riders. ... If you want tracking, get a Skydio. DJI isn’t great for autonomous tracking."

"The "4k" on their cheaper drones is significantly worse than iphone footage. ... I tried grading some Mini 3 "4k" and anything out of ~ IRE 300-600 just instantly broke."
Started with a mini3 then the air3. Both are great. The mini seems more like a toy not being near as solid as it's air3. That's not even getting into the specs.
r/dji • What is the best drone that you have ever owned? ->DJI anything is more or less the answer. They have their quirks, but everything else comes with less support and more caveats. If you’re just starting out, a Mini is perfect.
r/drone_photography • Photography lovers, what's the best drone with camera you've used? ->Yeah i see you all good. You can always go for the mini 3, because it wont dissapoint you! And later on you can always go deeper into the drone world, and maybe try out even some avata 2 :P ! Take care though!! and watch some youtube videos otherwise still :) !
r/dji • What drone should I get? ->Damn alright. Didn't know the mini 4 could fly 45 mins. Currently using the mini 3 and get around 30 mins so 55 would be almost double lol
r/dji • DJI Mini 5 Pro first look ->Get what ever is the cheapest mini series drone you can find. Depends on the time or you local second hand market, this can be mini 1, mini 2, 2SE, or mini 4K. At sub $300, you always get a full size controller, and long range FPV stream and fully gimbaled camera, perfect for practicing your skills. I would say the early version camera isn't the best, and you will notice it. If you really want good video, spring for mini 3 I guess
r/dji • Which DJI drone would you suggest for beginners? ->I just got the Mini 3. Now i feel my drone is decades old…
r/dji • Its out! ->Dji mini 3 with option to film in cinema mode
r/dji • Budget Drone recommendation? ->I'm a videographer as well. One of the problems with DJI drones is that they typically shoot in delivery formats like H.264/5. From what I'm finding, you have to get into something like a Mavic Pro/Cine (not classic) or an Inspire in order to shoot in a recording format (pro-res, log, raw.) The "4k" on their cheaper drones is significantly worse than iphone footage. I tried grading some Mini 3 "4k" and anything out of \~ IRE 300-600 just instantly broke. Both of these drones "can" be found used for around $2,000 or so. Just beware that any drone shipped in from out of country will sit in customs for several weeks and may not even be delivered at all. It's best to buy used from the U.S. or to find a retailer inside the U.S. with stock on shelves.
r/drones • Drone Buying Advice Megathread and NEW Wiki Buying Guide ->So how different will it be to mine? I’m satisfied with my mini 3
r/dji • DJI Mini 5 Pro first look ->ni 3 refurbished is the way to go or if you put in more time you can find a mini 3 pro bundle on Facebook market i even saw an air2s bundle with alot of extras for 500 and sometimes even mini 4 pros are there for that price range but all those will most likely take you more time to find, or not if you get lucky
