It was low light with diffuse cloud so challenging lighting and, spoiler alert BORING. Watch long enough to see the low light performance.
CONS:
-Drone stayed in Normal when I had the controller button on Cine until I toggled it back and forth.
-I tried 4K60 and that may have made the controller image a bit jerky at times?
-Controller stick movement seems looser than for the Mini 2.
PROS:
-Seemed to handle the low light well. The light was changing rapidly so I just left in auto but the detail seems good. It was a lot darker than the footage appears and light dropped FAST.
-The sound drops off fast as it moves away. I sometimes used the sound of the mini 2 to judge how close it was. With the Mini 3 it can get below treetop level before you hear it. So be careful, VLOS is crucial. MUCH quieter. My wife commented on it right away.
-RC booted up fast and grabbed satellites quickly. I like how much less fuss it was without the cell phone.
-Extended battery makes the flights a lot longer.
In general I realized I have no idea how to edit 60fps drone footage alongside 30 fps ground B-roll on the 360 Camera
