Can't believe everything you read on YouTube

I got an email from DJI, offering a refurbished mini 3 pro, for $479. So I looked at some YouTube videos about it, and they said it now had waypoints. So I thought, great, I can fly the same waypoint missions as I fly with my mavic 3 pro. I never checked DJI's description of the mini 3 pro. Yesterday, I found out, that these are not DJI waypoint missions, but from dronelink. So if I had know that, I wouldn't of bought it. I also bought 3 extra batteries before I realized my mistake. So I spent a total of $900, for something that isn't what I want.

No, that's not the exact one, but it was very similar.

Really, a drone as good as the mini 3 pro, should have waypoints anyway.

I bought dronelink and made my first waypoint mission. After using that, I will never complain about DJI's waypoint editor. Wonder if theirs a thread on mavic pilots talking about making waypoint missions with dronelink?

Well done video for those interested in autonomous missions using Dronelink Check in with the creator of this thread.

I've changed my mind. Dronelink's waypoints, and waypoint editor, are way better than DJI's. Just shows, that Americans are way smarter than Chinese!

To be honest I am somewhat surprised that someone with some years behind them would take a youtube at face value without doing so checking especially where a significant purchase was involved.

I hear you. But actually, now that I've found out about dronelink's capabilities, I'm happy I bought it. My brother just got on the plane at JFK, carrying the drone, with no problems. Which is what I expected. So dronelink looks way better than fly. Also I can try litchi beta.
In the comments, I called that YouTuber an ahole again. He deleted my comment. I didn't know youtubers could delete comments.
