405deadheadStarted 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.
68SuperReverbI got a Mini5 pro just before the end of the year and had no trouble activating it and the object avoidance makes it much less likely to let me do dumb things like hit walls or even my own head like I have… and the DJI Care was a life saver back with my Mini3. DJI is amazing. The US government, not so much,
AkbikDamn 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
AL31FNGet 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
Aleks_07_I just got the Mini 3. Now i feel my drone is decades old…
Alive-Weakness4504Dji mini 3 with option to film in cinema mode
AnyAstronaut5441So how different will it be to mine? I’m satisfied with my mini 3
ApprehensiveKey8493ni 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
