Hi Vic, I’ve just purchased my first drone which happens to be the DJI Mini Pro 3 and to be honest, the first few times I flew it the heart rate did peak a few times. Found the tips in this video very helpful and I will certainly be taking onboard your recommendations and advice, thanks 🙏
Hey there. Congrats. Enjoy the new drone. Yep. Absolutely it can be nerve wrecking alright. Ultimately take your time and don’t try anything stupid 😂 that worked for me. Let me know if there’s another type of video that you’d find useful.
Thank you for everything Vic I’m glad you are consistent how’s the family doing
You’re welcome Louis. All good buddy 🙏🔥
Another mistake that people make (and a lot of people have discussed this in other videos), is that even before you start to fly, lift your drone up at least 30 or so metres, and then just let it hover there for 20 or so seconds, so that it can find a GPS lock and automatically set where you're taking off from as a home point. A lot of people forget to do this and then when they 'return to home' it can't reliably do that unless you manually do it yourself.
Learn from my fail: today I must have tapped on the screen by accident & AFed somewhere in particular, because all my pics afterwards were out of focus. 😢
Here's another fatal mistake I see so many people making with their vids! I can help! Watch this czcams.com/video/s_8iSjVu6Dw/video.html
Hi Vic,
Great videos! Taught me a lot about flying drones over the years, just upgraded to the DJI mini pro 3 after having the original Mini for 2 years. it will be a great upgrade but always safe to stick to the simplest rules! I've crashed my mini 3 times in a tree by not looking up or almost gone into an electrical wire 😂lesson learned in that one!
Ouch. Absolutely. Lesson learned is right 🙏 thanks so much Alain. Glad my vids are helping you out.
Another mistake might be that DJI Flymore Bag - But here's a decent replacement, watch it here - czcams.com/video/S5UtHmWqzGQ/video.html
I don't fly a drone but I watch a few 'auditors' on CZcams that do. I'm sure they would get a great deal from this video. You're a natural at this. Great video!
Wow. Thanks soo much for that James 🙏
Hi Vic. A great video. Very helpful. I just bought the luts from you. All we need now is a bit of good weather.
Thanks so much Tony. Really appreciate the support.
Love the tips and you are terrific on-camera!
Thanks Mary Kay. Glad the tips were useful. What was your favourite tip?
Thanks for the tips!
No probs Louis, thanks for watching! Hope you found them useful?
I’m thinking heavily on the DJI Mini 3 Pro. Thanks for sharing. Subbed!
Awesome! Thank you George! Best of luck
Take my money. Very entertaining video! Just had to get your luts after that performance. Well done.
Thanks so much Greg. Really appreciate the support Cap
Man im glad I found your channel very informative and I love the humour cheers mate
Hey Luke. Thank you 🙏
SIx great minutes on this video and great tips! Subscribed.
Thanks so much Renato
Hi, Vic. I just picked up my Mini 3 Pro today and am trying to quickly learn as much as possible. I'm used to using Lightroom Classic and to a lesser extent Photoshop, and many years ago I made videos with Elements. I have watched a couple videos so far and it seems that you like to use Premier Pro? And it seems that you sell "Luts" or presets when stitching footage in Premier Pro? Thanks in advance.
Hi, Thanks for this video. I am contemplating getting a DJI mini. Started looking at the SE then the mini 2. Now the mini 3 Pro. Complete beginner and the mini 3 collision avoidance might make this a safer purchase? Are these easy to fly compared to the mini 2. Thanks in advance 😊
Hey there. I’d suggest the mini 3 pro. It’s hard to crash compared to the mini 2 🙏
@@VicBarry Thank you. Now which controller. They come with either the one you attach a phone to or the one with a screen attatched already? Which would you recommend? Sorry to quiz you. I can't choose. The older controller makes sense as I always carry a phone but there is little information on how to control the mini pro with them from my research so far. Thanks again
Hey there. To be honest I got really tired of setting the phone up each time with the mini 2 so I went with the controller with the screen for the mini 3 pro. It’s far more convenient. Range is an issue for some folks but haven’t had too many problems to be honest.
Hahahaa I got the Mavick mini last year on Christmas and unknowingly tried sports mode a day after .. ran it right into my car and broke one of the folding arms! Luckily they're pretty easy to repair 🤦🏼♀
Vic Awesome stuff, can't wait to get my Mini 3 Pro, love the vids around great island and Cobh, used to liver there a few years back and loved seeing the area, recognised it right away with the gold tree on the old castle! Super stuff dude, happy flying
Hey Tom, thank you. Ah no way. It’s a lovely spot to be fair
@@VicBarry I think you're getting SPAM on your account - see below!
Thanks Tom. Trying to get it sorted. Again. 😢
I love your personality. Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much!!
Loved your video thank you so much!❤😂
You are so welcome Monica
Good points. I plan to get the Mini 3 Pro here in the Philippines. Lots of good video opportunities.
Thank you. Awesome stuff. Happy flying when you get it 🙏
Great video learnt a lot thankyou
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Tyson
Hey vic love your videos do you have a video for color grading with the sony zv1?
Hey there, sure do czcams.com/video/nkKd6TI4aw0/video.html :)
Hi Vic, Can you tell us what is the smoothest drone in the market right now?
RTH is a pain for me. I live in WV in the mountains so I need to set my RTH to like 900ft just to clear some of the hills and such. Where I fly it, i keep my drone about 250ft off the ground but from where I launch its 900ft above me.
Ooh thanks for the sport mode sensor bit
No worries!!! Of all the mistakes to make, this one can be a nightmare ! How's the Mini 3 Pro so far?
@@VicBarry so far it's in postage from Tasmania to Melbourne lol WHAT A MISSION TO FIND ONE!!! so it should be in my hands before the weekend... Had the mini 1 a bit scared with the mini 3 with all new things it can do.
Had some scary moments flying my mini 3 here in Croatia. I really appreciate your videos. They’re a big help!
Hey Lans, no probs. You’re welcome. What happened?
I flew my mini 3 drone from the top of a hill towards the beach and on the path down I've lost RC connection a few times at about 500-700 meters away. Luckily RTH worked without me setting it up. But I did notice that I did not lose RC connection flying to the same spot from my balcony. Here's the video below of what I'm taking about.

Viewing the thumbnail for a second, it looked like he was holding up a dead frog.

Perfect!!!
🙏
enjoyed! so breathtaking upload.buddy,:)
Glad you enjoyed it - Thanks :)
Hai , how about distance .... on mini 3 Pro rc
As someone who does this for a living I tend to turn off my vision sensors, because cinematic footage often requires you to go close to stuff.
Vic, can you charge these batteries via a 220V type F outlet in Europe?
Great suggestions. Your cinematic video is a beauty. Subscribed. Thanks.
Thanks so much Ken. Really appreciate the sub. 🙏
@@VicBarry PS- I find your accent so intriguing, where are you from? Thanks 🙏
Hey Ken. I’m in Cork, Ireland 🇮🇪
@@VicBarry Thanks for sharing. Cheers!!!!
How do I use a LUT I'm new to this ? What do I do ?
Spent ages on amazon looking for a turty what charger... can't find one 😕
Thanks Vic! New to your channel and about to pick up the DJI Mini 3 Pro - quick question, which software do you use for video editing? p.s love the accent!
Hey Adam, you’re welcome. I use Premiere Pro for all the editing. 🙏
I like your humorous style man 😎
Thanks dude 🙏
Good video again
Thanks Beer
Didn’t know you where Irish ☘️ till you said 30 watts
Thanks Rob 😆
Hey Vic, can I use your LUTS in Adobe Premiere Rush? or is it just Pro? Great video, some good tips. :)
Hey Keith, afraid Rush won't let you use LUTS - You could edit in Rush, and push it out to a Premiere Pro project and THEN drop the LUT in, but it would be Premiere Pro
@@VicBarry Ahh, ok. Thank you for the reply. I like Rush for the simplicity. You can colour grade in rush, but probably not as extensive as Pro. I'll look into my adobe package and see how much extra Pro is to add to it. It's not cheap!! 😆 Thanks Vic. 👍🏼
No worries Keith. Best of luck
You so entertaining ❤❤
Thank you
Very good
hey nice To tell all i have quick question europe model is different than US ? And what called and how we can buy US model
I only seen this today….
Last week I had mine in sports mode first time ever in a Forest clearing…just got it back from the repair shop yesterday after it smashed straight into a tree… turns out the clearing weren’t that clear. Anyway cool video, if only I seen it sooner 🤣🤣
Ouch. At least you’re back up and flying again 🙌
Just subscribed Vic your vids are brilliant mate !! Just a quick question mate if you have a spare second, can you use the new controller with the mini 3 pro with the DJI mini 2 ?? Thanks Kev.
Cheers. Afraid you can’t use it with the mini 2 Kev.
@@VicBarry Thanks Vic, I will buy the mini 3 with new controller I think, gonna wait till new year sales might save a few Bob. Have a good one mate. KEV.
i bought your luts sir, thats pretty dope even for footage from sony a7iii looks cool
Awesome. Thanks so much the support Kenny
I just got mine but it won't take off at all it says takeoff permitted on the controller but still won't take off.
Thinking of buying this as my first drone. My question is should I buy a cheap drone to learn on first? Such as a latraxx Alias which is a Traxxas product. No camera but just to learn how to fly.
Hey there. IMO just go for it. Every drone handles differently so you’d have to learn sort of, again with the mini 3 pro. Plus there’s a lot of safety features in this so you’d be safe enough. But like anything, watch all the videos, and most importantly don’t do anything stupid with the drone and you’ll be a ok
@@VicBarry thanks. My ultimate goal is to have my own drone channel such as yours and get subscribers. Maybe get monetized but this is way down the road. I’ve been into RC cars for 30 years. To many channels to count for those. I need something new and have been thinking of drone flying for about 2 years now. Just never pulled the trigger on it. I’m doing it.
Oh boy I have one on it's way n I've never flown one. Hope I can get the hang of it. Good tips tho 4 sure glad I watched this lol
Congrats. It’s fantastic and you’ll be fine 🙏🔥 enjoy the new drone
@@VicBarry thanks! 😊
🙏
thanks for the luts proposal, I use davinci and I have them all, so pay for a Lut that is never the same, better to make the color from 0, so you can get pro results without being contaminated by other luts
Turkey what, mini tree, all the trees I've hit are big cheers 😂😂
2:58 This guy is a reincarnated pirate
Hey, could you please 🙏 make a quick tutorial for those of us who don't know anything!!! I bought a well built limited edition Phantom 4 clone ariel drone and am clueless!! LOL
You probably watched the siht I've been uploading...cant help it dude. The wind is on another level down south
Can you recommend a good car charger for the mini 3 batteries?
Hey there, none spring to mind to be honest, but I'd imagine, they're all going to be slow charging given the output from most cars unless you've got something that can do a huge power output
Yes, get a small inverter that plugs into the car and plug your house charger into that. ;-)
You can get usb-c car chargers that supply 30 watts.
My pro 3 is saying gimbal stuck and I can’t move the gimbal from controller.
Any advice?
If there’s no lens attachment try a new battery for a start if you have one. If the gimbal is moving freely when the drone is off and you’re moving it by hand then it might be something else and possibly would have to go back to DJI
I need to strap two drones to my feet and take off, which one do you recommend
Mini 3 pro will do the trick.
I browsed Dji forum and find max charging power for batterys should be 37 watts but i dont know if its accurate
Hey there, that's interesting. DJI are selling their own 30 watt charger specifically for the Dji Mini 3 Pro, so not sure.
I’ve seen a video where they tested a bunch of chargers and it topped out at 30 watts.
Really most useful video :) will do the same video consept for my channel. Thanks 👏
🔥🙏
Short explanation for anyone who doesn't fully understand "cinelike" or 10 bit (12 bit if you ever get lucky) You understand the difference between black + white and color? well thats the difference between the AMOUNT of color between 8 and 10 bit. You get more colors and more shades of color. and the "washed out colors" in cinelike (or any flat, linear) color profile is to allow you to work with it later. it looks flat because its giving the the greatest opportunity and starting point to color grade it your self. why would you want to do that? well, if you ever took a picture into photoshop to work on contrast, or make some colors "pop", thats why. you really cant push or pull colors if youre already maxed out and locked out. get a free copy of "davinci resolve", watch a very short beginner video on color grading, and experiment with a linear color profile shot.. you'll never go back to shooting without it again. Some people just dont care and thats perfectly fine. just wanna shoot, edit and be done? lots of people do, but if you want the best image quality you can get.. go 10 bit and color grade your footage
Also people should do themselves well by underexposing so they don't blow their highlights when white objects like clouds or vehicles.
How to solve the camera blurring problem on this drone?
Are we talking stuff that’s out of focus or something else?
Super 😎🤝🤝
Thanks Jesus :)
Im brand new to the drone thing, and I managed to figure most of it out pretty quick but the biggest problem I'm having right now is with the videos. Which video editing software do you choose when editing your drone footage? Oddly enough, If I play the video back with the controller or even on my computer with, lets say, VLC and no problem. But the second I load it into any video converter or editing software, I get theses weird pink flashes throughout the video. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Christopher. I use Adobe Premiere Pro. A good alternative to that is Davinci Resolve (they do a free version that’s great). - Lumafusion if you’re using the likes of an iPad.
There is no need to put it into any type of video converter unless you have a very specific requirement. Not sure about the pink flashes. It may well be the software or possibly a codec issue with that software but if VLC is playing it without issue then it’s 99% that software you’re using. Let me know if that makes sense
@@VicBarry Solved (kind of, lol) Turns out it was indeed a codec issue. DJI uses a particular version of HEVC/H.265. I was able to find it on the Microsoft store. There were 2 versions, one that was free and one that cost a dollar. Regardless, you were a great help and I just wanted to say thank you for steering me in the right direction. Ill definitely have to give DaVinci Resolve a try. Cheers!
@@masque7374 I would still grab a copy of resolve. its free and professional cinema graders use it for a reason. lots of people dont think they need to go down that deep, but its worth spending the time. if youre just shooting clips for tick tock or Facebook then yeah, no need. but if you want your stuff to actually look good then you should dive in. you wont regret it
Deffo going to get a turty watt charger :)
Love the accent
😀
Mini TREE's.......were they the ones on the island ?? I thought they were Bonsi trees ! LOL Love the tips ! CHEERS Steve h.
😀 cheers Steve
@@VicBarry Hi there, I assume you did not send the message about a free drone.
Firstly don’t fly in clinima mode in heavy winds fly nice and low when you can
Keeping it light and humorous , refreshing change from most other youtube reviewers . And best of all , your from Cork boy , love it
🙏🔥Nice waaaaannnnnnn
Turkey watt charger, where can you get these?
In the freezer aisle
Not for nothing, but new pilots can't even ballpark estimate how tall the highest obstacles are, nevermind set RTH to 10 meters higher. I usually advise: 1. Find what L👀ks like the tallest tree, building, sign etc. 2. Set your camera straight ahead and fly to the tippy top. 3. Look at your attitude. 4. Add 10 meters. Fly happy.
Ha. Fair point and great suggestion. 🙏🔥
your accent sounds like your from the rock. EH! Great Video Irish I almost thought you were from Newfoundland Canada.
Turkey watt???? 😂 good info
I'm curious, but was that Lawrenny at 4 mins 45 secs?
Hey Cambell! In Wales? No :)
@@VicBarry Wow; it looked identical.
@@VicBarry I think someone is trying to pass themselves off as you. Please see the bottom message saying I have won a drone. Loads of others have had the same message.
DJI need to put abs system on drone motors
LOL, great video. I really like your personality on screen. Keep with this, you have great presents. And you have great editing skills. I can see the hard work on this video. I also edit videos for my wife's garden CZcams channel. I am not as good as you but I like watching new channels to me that entertain. I just subscribed and will keep watching. I will give you good feedback on all of them. Good, bad or the ugly. :) Anyways I like the personality. It's original. Keep with it! Also I bought your LUTS! --chris
Hey Chris, thanks so much for the kind words. And thank you for the sub and supporting the Luts. REALLY appreciate that. Just keep going. Editing is about putting in the reps and just keep learning about pacing and story. Don’t worry about transitions or color grading. People watch stories not transitions.
0:17 RTH has been a thing for years.. not just on the Mini 3 lol..
Alright, going to order a terty watt charger for mine
Thanks for the video! Can you say Thirty watts again?
Thirty watts again
@@VicBarry I’m guessing the text below isn’t you?
@@goshenmmacom5207 No it's not :) Thanks for the message
Is dat thirty watt or dirty watt charger 😀
Great video. 👍
😜 cheers 🙏
Turty watt charger,,,,,,,,where can i get one of those!
Freezer aisle
@@VicBarry LOL!!!!!!!!
I use DJI Mini 2 for my videos, i think that the best drone. But maybe i will bye dji mini 3😋
Hey Egor, thanks for the comment! Yep, the DJI Mini 2 is a great drone! If it does what you want, then awesome stuff!!!
Trudy watt chargers?
Do they smell?
Where do I get a Tirty Watt Charger >? 😅
😂 In the durty watt charger shop
What’s a turkey vat charger
No idea. Don’t speak German
I only use sports mode to get to where I want to film or take pictures in quick time . Otherwise I never use it
Yeah, that's a fair point. I'm generally the same to be honest. For speed I'll stick with the FPV stuff. Not even sure why it's an option in the Mini line, although I guess it can get you out of a spot of bother from time to time
I agree with 30 watts, but you can get a 65 watt or 100 watt charger with 3 outputs. One goes into the drone with battery inside, one goes into the 3 battery dock, and the third goes into the remote control. Turn 3+ hours into 2+ hours. Don't worry about 100 watts. The batteries and remote will only draw as much power as they are allowed by the circuitry.
That's a good way to destroy your battery life.
@@AR7271 Your devices only draw as much power as they are designed to draw when using a USB-C Programmable Power Supply (PPS) charger like the 737 Anker. They go by different names: QC/PD/PPS/PIQ with slight differences between them but all can modify voltage and current in real-time so no worries about killing your battery life.
@@Kevin-ib4gv I don't know where you're getting information from but again there have been third party independent test done on fast charging versus slow charging and in the long run you are better off doing a slow charge. Fast charges will wear your batteries out quicker, it's a matter of physics.
@@AR7271 Every single new cell phone fast charges using the NEW Power Delivery protocol. You need to let go of the past and keep up with technology. It changes rapidly these days. Do some research on PDO chargers and get back to me.
Vic, how many is Turdy?? bwhahahaa!!
You seem intelligent especially with the car comment, I’m sure you’ll figure it out 😕😂🙏😜
this cant be the first time you heard this accent. its a funny joke but after a few million times it gets old.
Fun fact... when it hits the automatic RTH and shoots up to the programmed altitude, the drone doesn't care if you're beneath a canopy of trees...
...jetting straight into pine trees at 20m above the ground!
Ask me how I know...
if thats true its a pretty big oversight by DJI. it shouldn't have taken much to at least put a cheaper sensor on the top
I buy this toy and the firsth use get to the water and do not work any more sad ☹️
Is dat a tirty wot charger
how do I get a dirty watt charger
😂
Available in Ireland only 😊
🤣
hey vic is this really you
Look up 😅 day 3 of flying my drone and I took off and nearly hit a phone wire
Ouch. Nearly though 😂 but yep. Definitely look up. Happens me all the time 😀
Oh shit! Dji
i lost my mini 1 like this at the beach 200m infront of me. phone crashed it returned to home so high that probably got blownaway
i like slow-charge cuz the batteries will last longer
