Mini 3 April potential

[DroneTinker]

Mini 1 to Mini 2 is a decent update. You can't deny it. Though, from what we saw, Mini 3 should be a revolutionary update (revolutionary I mean in the sub 250g class). It will tear Autel Evo Nano+ which right now seems to be the best sub 250g even better than Mini 2 (at least from the camera point of view).

Agree. But still imagine telling people just a few weeks before mini 3 unveiling that it was a good call to upgrade their existing 1 to a 2 right now…
Imagine that.

The market will be flooded with mini 2s I am sure. I bought two of them months ago for 433 fly more combo

The same way the market was flooded with low price Air 2S drones when the Mavic 3 was released?

Cheap air 2 models when the Air 2S released?
Correct.

You are right in comparing mini 3 pro to mavic 3 btw

Mavic 3 is successor to mavic 2 pro, it has nothing to do with Air2S

 

[EpicFlight]

Wow, you're both wrong.

Three different classes of drone. Comparing them as if competing for the same market segment is pretty meaningless.

After release, the A2S will continue to have features and capabilities not available in the new Mini 3. If you need them, the Mini 3 is a non-starter.

Can you name 2?

 

[EpicFlight]

Can you name 2?

I feel absolutely no desire at all to in response.

Regardless, it's a bogus question for obvious reasons I'll leave to others to explain.

My point was that DJI drones hold their value very well and that there's little downward movement in price of current models when a more advanced model is released. Anyone expecting a major decrease in Mini, Mini SE, and Mini 2 prices after the release of the Mini 3 will likely be disappointed, in my opinion.

You may disagree.

Nothing further to add here.

 

[Faster]

Can you name 2?

Better camera, internal memory, quick release propellers, faster speeds, twice the VLOS, just to name a few.

Historically,
-air1 price went down when air 2 was released
-Air 2 price went down when Air2S was released
-Mavic pro price went down when mavic2 pro was released
-Phantom 3 price went down then phantom 4 was released
-Mini 1 price went down when mini 2 was released.

You can try and disagree with facts, won’t change those facts though sorry.

As far as recommending the 2 when the 3 comes out, that was purely based on budget, after all the mini 2 does not become worse just because something better comes out, it’s still a great drone, I would not hesitate to recommend it. I’ll at least be flying mine til Christmas…. But I’ll enjoy reading about the 3 and watching all the videos as it gets evaluated

It will tear Autel Evo Nano+ which right now seems to be the best sub 250g even better than Mini 2 (at least from the camera point of view).

Nano+ is far behind the Mini 2. The only advantage Nano+ has is on night shots. But on everything else Mini 2 is superior.


I flew Mini 2 for 1,5 years and I fly Nano+ since last week. Am am very disappointed with the Autel drone. It is far from a finished product. The price (1200 Euros - FMC) is completely unjustified.

the dynamic range on the Autel is at least 3 stops more?

Is the Autel transmission system better? I’ve heard it is.

 

[test2000Anafi]

don't know about that but the image quality is insane:

 

[Faster]

Autel Nano plus vs Mini 2
Nano + has better camera (impressive at low light) , Obstacle avoidance, NO Geofense, twice expensive
Mini 2 has way better flight dynamics, better reception, stupid DJI Geofense, twice cheaper

 

[izometric]

I think detection by Aerscope (without the drone pilot being informed in any way) is 100 times worse than geofencing.

 

[excalibur1814]

All of this doesn't matter.

DJI want to sell to as many people as possible, which means under 250g in weight. The Mini 3 will (probably) be their main consumer item, with the others jogging around at various price points. That is, until the next drone appears, be that an air or whatever.

Then again, marketing suggests lower end, middle priced, high end, super luxury.
