I’d like a better camera than the Mini 2, but not at twice the price of a Mini 2 - and especially when it looks like a frog in receipt of a good rogering

Better upgrade (open in YouTube for better experience)

Mini 3 price rumors
The only rumored pricing we have so far for the Mini 3 Pro also states the possibility of a standard Mini 3. These prices don’t include import fees, and with the probability of no “Standard” Mini 3, take these prices with a grain of salt. With that said, here are some anticipated prices:
| Version | DJI Mini 3 (might not exist) | DJI Mini 3 Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $549 | $699 |
| + Fly More Combo | $799 | $949 |
| + DJI RC | $1,099 | $1,249 |
If there are two models of the Mini 3, this would be a pretty standard pricing layout, with only a $100 markup from the Mini 2 to the Mini 3. However, if there is only one product, the Mini 3 Pro, that would be a huge markup from the previous version and would put you just a couple of hundred dollars away from similar packages for the Air 2S. Maybe we could also be getting the Mini 3 Pro for the Mini 3 stated price, and if that’s the case, it would be a killer deal for the features expected on DJI’s newest sub-250gram drone!

Hmmm…weight ? Gimbal control ? Camera settings in flight ?

I think I’m somewhere in the top tier of drone nerds, but I can honestly say that this impending release by DJI has left me totally underwhelmed.
It’s another camera drone. It will do the sames things its predecessors have done, maybe better image quality, but on the whole absolutely nothing different.
Now if it had even the most basic of A.I. capabiluties, maybe have the ability to be configured to do something different than generic camera drone functions, then I will admit I may feel something tingly in my lower regions. Until then I’ll continue to entertain myself with my collection of singing potato’s.

But no RC included at all for that price?

I saw you mention that earlier. But I seriously doubt DJI would remove the controller from any drone - especially it’s ‘beginner friendly’ drone and the sucessor to it’s biggest seller worldwide.

A beginner drone for a grand? 
Entirely possible though Chris, I was just going by Jaspers posts on Twitter.
I do love a good rumour thread

Hey, DJI are just following Autel’s lead

It’s biggest sale will be new tech adopters I’d guess, already Mini 2 owners, would they need another controller?
I welcome the option (if it’s the case)
Perhaps you can fly it on the app alone
I think I like the fact it has no legs, almost encourages / forces you to hand launch, but like the old Spark and it’s gestures
I don’t buy more Makita batteries with every power tool. The original ones work fine.
I’d say it would be good if DJI didn’t have so many different RCs and had the same on for every drone … and batteries, too, for similar sized drones.

The only catch to that though, is no progression 
OcuSync 4 will be here soon.
More new controllers needed

Firmware upgrades could take care of that … MultiOccuSync™

I’m actually with @Nidge with this.
The extra “sensors and electronics” the extra “elastictrickery” the weight loss every where to allow for these extra components. The motors will have to be shaved down in size.
The aerodynamics of a house brick. (Looks to me that way) I think it will be about as good flying as the Nano+
I’m reserved.

I’m personally doubtful that the aerodynamics (drag coefficient) are much different for either version of this drone. It’s no PowerEgg, if anyone other than @Nidge remembers that.

It’s hardware though
There’s no reason they couldn’t design the related RC hardware to accept firmware updates, though. Or at least make the later model RCs backward compatible.
