Up at my cabin in the White Mountains, I got 3 miles pretty easily. Seems to have about the same range as my mini 2, and Mavic 1

It might be user error. I flew it out for about 20 minutes. While on the return, it would not come close enough to me to hand catch it (like I usually do). It was dusk, but I thought still plenty of ambient light. I figured I'd test the sensors and bring it in closer to the house. It just kept...

My error. Had the gimbal cover on. Gimbal cover weighs 10.2g

I can tell you this much. I was flying home in low light and the forward vision sensor did not work and crashed into the house. Fortunately minimal damage.

I find this thread kinda comical. Weight of mini 3: Without battery: 177g with std. battery: 257g with + battery: 297g Bottom line, even if I end up in court with either option, I'm still going to lose. Chances I end up in court flying a mini drone: 0.0001% BTW, having a real world 30+...

FWIW, finally got around this weekend to do a range test. Since the Mavic 1, I've been able to take my DJI drones across the valley and over to the mountains across the way. I'd say it's as good as any of the others. Got out around 3 miles and still had a pretty decent signal. But more...

I went with conventional (non screen) version. I regularly use 3rd party apps, and I feel as though once DJI releases the SDK, there will be the regular apps I can use for mapping. I also always have my phone on my when hiking, biking, skiing, vacation, so felt the larger controller didn't...

Well, got an update from DJI that my order placed on June 4th was put in UPS hands on last Friday. Expected delivery this Thursday.

Did you buy one with the non-screen remote?

Still waiting on my mini 3 with standard controller. Order placed on June 3rd, still says waiting to be shipped. :(

Is it possible to use 3rd party apps on the screen version?

Does anyone know if DJI is shipping the mini with the conventional controller (the non-screen)?

It'll be another month or so (according to DJI) when I get my mini 3 with standard controller. I've gotten 3 miles both with my original Mavic and also with the mini 2. This is flying up in the mountains with great clear range and minimal interference, The reviews form folks from the US and have...

This is concerning to me. I have been able to fly my Mavic 1 and mini 2 3 miles away in the mountains where I live. There are some really nice rocky slabs I fly it to. I was hoping I would be able to do the same with the mini 3.

I'm just saying if you expect it to be on it's way, don't get your hopes up. I got the runaround from another online retailer and waited over a month for something they said they were going to ship within a few days. Kept getting delays until they basically said "we have no idea and gave me...
