Swindon was covered in low cloud early this morning. So I wanted to see if the Mini 3 Pro performed as well as the Mini 2. I disabled obstacle avoidance before taking off.
DJI cap the maximum altitude of the Mini 3 Pro to 4000m on the standard battery and 3000m on the plus-shaped battery.
CE/FCC mode will have no bearing on the maximum service ceiling. You’ll need deeper mods to remove the height limits from DJI drones. But that’s not a conversation for this thread.
FCC hack only improves range (significantly!). Most older drones have altitude hacks available via the likes of Drone Hacks (for example). The limit is 500m, if you change the default setting in the Fly app … but obviously, this does not comply with the CAA drone code
I am new to drone flying but recently used a mini 3 pro in London on an experience day. I was amazed at the pictures and the way it handled. I love your above the clouds footage. I normally fly the original mini but definitely considering the purchase of the mini 3 pro.
I can definitely recommend it. I never had the original Mini, but have come from a Mini 2. And it is a massive improvement … especially if you opt for the Pro edition.
Definitely with the new remote, DJI RC that’s the remote I used. It was so nice not having to set up with my Samsung S7 to fly. It was a sunny day so occasionally had to find shade to stand in so I could see the screen but really enjoyed the experience.
