DJI Mini 3 Pro - Rumours, leaks, gossip and general discussion, reviews

Give this topic a read

Most of the YouTubers are given them for free, so give glowing reviews, so take them with a pinch of salt, what you really should be asking yourself is, what do I actually need them for, and when will I be using them, if at all.

You use ND filters to slow down the shutter speed in bright conditions. That way you get more detail out of otherwise bright areas. More importantly, you slow the shutter speed when recording video smoothing the movement (“motion blur”). In general, you should aim for 2 times the recording fps, for example, ideally if you record 4k @ 30 fps, you should have shutter speed 60fps. Without ND filter, this is not possible on a bright day.

I have Freewell’s filters and they are good quality.

What comes to UV filters, they are unnecessary nowadays. You only use them to protect the lens, but the default lens protector does the same job.

I think that’s by exposing to the right, i.e. by adjusting the EV down, to make sure the brightest areas are not over exposed.

If it’s overexposed without an ND filter, it’ll be overexposed with one too.

Correct, you go to a slower shutter speed to introduce natural motion blur. Otherwise the video tends to look super jerky or have tears in it.


This is disappointing

It’s disappointing that they have no concept of the rules

Hi mate
No I don’t think there made by dji , I was trawling eBay and see those and remembered they was mentioned yesterday so was just trying to help and thought I’d post the link here :+1:t2:

There’s others on Amazon , didn’t know they had to be dji branded

Just think they are copies rather than the genuine article.

Guys im sorry to be a bit lazy about this but I just dont have time to search the forums or watch a load of YT videos.

Is the DJI RC antenna hack worth it for the Mini3 in the UK?

I must admit i have been running the Mini 3 on old firmware until yestersay.

Has any of the updates made the signal better over the last 6 months (I really have not had time to fly it)?

FCC ?

If yes, then yes.

However be careful - each time I upgrade the firmware and re-patch we get a new PM.

Not sure if the two are linked?!

I will let you know next time…

Never update, there’s no prizes for early adopters

Indeed, why bother wasting your own time searching or watching videos when you can just waste everyone else’s time instead :roll_eyes:

At least you’re honest.

Well someone in the know might answer my question in a 1 minutes where it might take me an hour to find the answer to my question?

And if I couldnt find the answer i would ask the question anyway.

Anyone else got one of these?

You can find them on eBay from various sellers, the cost is under £12. It’s great because it doesn’t interfere with controls or ports and the sticks are properly protected. The lid has two “settings” for the angle.

Not the most robust feeling plastic, but sturdy enough and for the price, not a big loss if you break it.
