For anyone interested, I just noticed that there is now a wide angle lens available for the mini 3 at Adorama.

They wanted $34 to ship me the lens and a set of control sticks. Not today Satan!
wow, there must be something wrong with their shipping calculator!! Those prices are insane. No one would ever go for that!!
FWIW: At one point DJI had their own branded wide angle lens offered on their website. For some reason it was pulled. Here is a link to said lens from B&H and it seems to have been pulled as well. It would be listed as "pre-order" if they expected it to become available.
I think a wide angle might not work on the new Mini 3.

I won't tell you what you can do with your shipping charge; but I'm sure you can guess.
That's one of the most ridiculous S & H I have ever seen. I was in a hurry amid charging my just arriver Mini 3 (40 minutes ago) and ordered this. I checked the order confirmation email and almost had a heart attack. I called and canceled the order. I ALSO added a comment about the shipping prices and the rep (who was very personable and polite) said he would escalate the comment/problem to the appropriate department.
I will be watching to see if it was just lip service or will be acted upon.

I find the 24 mm of the Mini 3 Pro perfect, as my main lens with DSLR is of the same length.
While I do think there will certainly be people, who can creativly use it to their advantage, for most of my work, I could not think of a use case. I rather shoot panoramas (but of course they involve more of a hassle especially with stitching and moving objects).
That said, I think with the adapter you are also above 250 g.
That's why DJI is more or less restricting this to be sold in Europe, like the extended batteries.

DJI has supposedly pulled the product but I gather there is a 3rd party one. Either way, you won't find stock right this moment in the UK at least

Actually I just was about to get one for $4.95 "super saver" -5-10 Days. Then got Free shipping. Here is how. When logged in, item in cart all I was offered for shipping started at $29.95. Not terrible, but not great for a $39 item that's what... 25 grams?
Logged out, ordered as guest, and ship was free, NYC to North Carolina. I can't say how far they will ship for free but check it out
So $41.83 and I'm all set. Be aware I suspect there is an issue with these, and if forced to guess I would suspect weight causing issues. I have no inside info on it, but:
a)DJI Stopped selling them
b) this is a "closeout"
Those two points make me suspect a potential problem. For $42 bucks I will take a chance. I put a slightly beefier, though still cheap ND Filter I just got so I would have something on it today and powered down the gimbal drooped. I'm about to test it now, just charging my ONE battery. Boy does THAT get old fast - batteries are like contraband or collector items, some dude out of Australia is selling his own batteries on Ebay for $150)
Anyway, this bigger frame ND is tge cheap, but not completely horrible "JSR" branded ones -sold under a dozen different names. The look double the depth -the frame is twice as deep, and it might be fine, I have no other experience with filters or lenses on this new gimbal design. Will post my impressions later.
