    Fantastic photos and videos, thanks for sharing (I feel so small)! :)

    Buy another Mini 2? Maybe

    The camera in the Nano+ blows away the Mini 2 and wins some / loses some against the Mini 3. The Nano+ camera has a significantly larger aperture and sensor than the Mini 2, and the low light capabilities are already legendary, how the app and flight characteristics are lacking some.

    Current Mini 2 owners ONLY

    Pretty new Mini 2 owner here and while I always prefer to have the best picture and video quality, I just can't justify spending triple the cost to get a Mini 3 Pro (I recently got the Mini 2 Fly More Combo for $375).

    Worst thing about Mini 3 Pro and the new DJI RC and the FLY APP

    1,000 nits is 43% more nits than 700, so the difference in your comparison picture makes sense to me.

    Interesting video on range issues

    You have 1 too many digits in your estimate. The flight went out around 8,700 ft, so only around 3.3 miles total.

    New Mini 2 with 1.02 FW

    Hopefully this thread will help someone in the future, but in order to get the firmware update working, I had to make the Windows Temp path shorter. I noticed that the update process put its directories and files in the Temp directory, which made it very long. Once I changed Temp and Tmp to...

    New Mini 2 with 1.02 FW

    After trying a different USB cable, I can now finally connect (the other must have been power only, no data). However, now when I try to upgrade I get an upgrade error after about 10 seconds, then DH re-detects the Mini 2, where I can try and fail again. My serial # starts with a 3 and I also...

    New Mini 2 with 1.02 FW

    I've tried it over a dozen times now, after a Windows reboot as well, with varying times after hearing the initial beep, and I've had no success whatsoever (DH just sits looking for the bird). Any other tips? I've searched for any YouTube video showing the connection process / timing, but I...

    New Mini 2 with 1.02 FW

    Many thanks for the tip about DH and that's my plan, but I can't for the life of me get the Mini 2 connected and seen by either a Windows PC or Mac. I'm connecting right when I hear the first beeps, but it never shows up. Any tips?

    Lets play a little game. I will post two pictures taken of the same location/subject, from Mini 2 and Mini 3, and you guess which is which.

    That's exactly how I analyzed them and I agree, for almost 3x the price of the Mini 2 Costco bundle, the Mini 3 isn't worth it if Video #2 isn't the Mini 3.

    Here are some night photography close up comparisons between the Mini 2 and the Mini 3

    The pics need labels, but here's my very brief review: Very similar quality, but pic on right has purple fringing around the letters Left one is far superior as right has lots of noise Right one is far superior as the sign is nice and clear

    Hello from Madison, Wisconsin!

    Welcome to the forum and I've enjoyed flying at Indian Lake, which is a great hiking park, and is a little Northwest of Madison.

    Mini 3 Pro range? What's your experience been like?

    I don't have personal experience with electronics, but from what I understand no.

    Mini 3 Pro range? What's your experience been like?

    Ditto, I cancelled mine last week as well, and I may try again if the reported issues die down. With Costco's generous return policy and great price, I decided to grab the Mini 2 and we will see if I feel the urge for the Mini 3 later on, when any bugs and issues for the Mini 3 Pro, have...

    New Mini 2 with 1.02 FW

    After ordering and finally cancelling a Mini 3, because of the potential signal / range issues, I decided to save some money and pickup the Mini 2 at Costco. It arrived today and the Mini 2 has firmware v1.02. I've read that v1.04 has some potential signal / range issues on the Mini 2 as well...
