dji mini 3 pro

[hoe]

Anyone used one of these ?

Ive been thinking about getting a drone for a while, these look pretty good.

wide angle lens, filters, fly more kit with long range batteries, 256gb card etc comes to around $1900 delivered.

I have the DJI Mavic Pro about 4 years old now, easy to fly and never had any trouble. The mini might struggle in windy conditions but there great fun

Doesn't usually get too windy here, although I am planning to use it in Kalbarri, possibly the windiest place in wa......

Is it possible to enter a gps coordinate directly into controller or app and have drone fly there or is there an app that integrates with Google maps etc?

Flylitchi app integrates with Google maps/Google earth so you can enter coordinates.

I have used an app called airmap and u can set a flightpath with that and u can send the drone for miles and back but u are supposed to have the drone in sight at all times.
When u get the drone it is restricted to 30mm range (my dji was) until you register it (serial number) with CASA,

Looks like sdk release for the mini 3 pro is still a couple of months away....

I bought the predecessor DJI Spark about 6 years ago and the only main difference is the price, nearly fell of my chair.
Yeah flight time has improved.
I paid back then around $600 on Fasttech. Wanted to check there if they had the mini for a better price but they seem to be down.

Just wanted to say it has mostly been lying in the shelf for about 6 years.
I only use it to survey overgrown properties.
However in the past I have used it cut down large critical trees by sending it up, towing a fishing line, then around the tree over a top branch so I can pull up a strong rope tied to the fishing line which I then connect to a winch so I can guide the tree safely and accurately down without hitting infrastructure, while I cut it.
So I can say my DIY drone method has payed itself 10 times over the cost of arborist.

I wouldn't dare fly it on our beaches anymore as everybody these days thinks you are a perve if you use a drone.

I was thinking of using it for fishing but I don't even find time to go normal fishing and again bugger me if I attract attention with the thing.

These drones also have absolutely nothing to do with flying.
They are self flying and I don't see much fun in that. It as exciting as moving a mouse and watching the arrow on a screen.

My first drone had none of this gadgetry.
You really had to fly and balance the thing yourself and unlike a model airplane it had no tail so you can not see it's head, which drove you nuts with the yaw, especially as it had 6 motors.
It could be blazing fast, I had the feeling it got over 100km/h and was super fun but I smashed it to smithereens.

I grabbed one today and once it was registered etc. i was allowed to take off, as most of kalgoorlie/boulder is within 5.5km of an uncontrolled airport......

i must say it was fun, yes they are pretty idiot/hoe proof. I did manually land it a couple of times without any drama.

The collision warning system is handy for a novice.

I did break the rules already, its no fun sticking to line of sight, lol....

Got some good video of the super pit and surrounds.

pretty limited without a remote licence.....
