You can compare those models here.

In addition to the specs posted above the Mini 3 Pro can use third party software like Litchi Pilot and Dronelink since the SDK has been released.

Also if you already have or are planning on getting DJI’s high quality RC Pro controller the Mini 3 Pro can use that controller as well.

These factors may or may not be important to you but it is good to know about them before you make your decision.

what about the Low Light / Night Mode in M3PRO is it comparable to the one in M4PRO or the latter is better quality ?

also what about cruise control is it supported in M3PRO ?...

thanks,

I do not have a Mini 4, but the Mini 3 Pro does not have a night video mode or cruise control. Apparently there is a way to get cruise control using the hyperlapse feature but I have never got it to work properly.

It does take amazing pictures at night.

The Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro, Mini 4 and Air 3 all have the same sensor size on the camera. One doesn't take photo better than other, even at night.

Now the sensors and features makes the difference.

I have the Mini 3 and love it. It only has downward sensor, so I don't fly near anything. 2 yrs DJI Refresh is only $79, so cheap!

This is the only reason I've kept my Mini3P – in the unlikely event I need to use a third-party app.

So far, despite some surprises and frustrations, the built-in waypoint feature on the M4P is meeting my needs.

There's (a lot) more to the image pipeline than just the sensor. I have all 3, and I consistently see better results on A3 vs. M4P and both vs. Mini3P. Especially 48MP mode and low light.

In addition to landscape photography and panoramas, I use my Mini3P for Light Painting using Litchi Pilot. I have also used Dronelink as well. The versatility of having an SDK for the Mini3P cannot be overstated even if it is only virtual sticks.

Interesting. How is this possible on the low light with the same sensor size on all 3? There could be some AI going on the drone. I use AI software also.

That 48 MP thing is a gimmick. It create more noise and artifacts.
