It ran fine the first week then went downhill and every time the battery would be charged i would fly it except night time. So the pilot may of still needed work but the technical issues are still there this thing needs a few things fixed but man that first week it done great no issues at all except video quality.

Here’s everything wrong with what he just said: 1.This drone is targeted towards people who don’t want to spend $1000+ on camera drones. It’s not going to have the advanced safety features like the mini 4 pro or air 3. So if you’re flying and you hit a bush, that’s on you. 2. You said you were flying up in the trees and it glitched out. Based on the scene I see, the trees are pretty dense. What did you expect. 3. The accessories like blades and spare parts all come with the drone. You don’t need to buy them. 4. The RC controller has more nits of brightness than your average phone screen, and from my experience, works fabulously in bright lighting. 5. I terms of video resolution, 4K 30fps is excellent for a mini series, never mind the fact that it’s a sub $500 drone. Instagram for an example, only supports 1080p. So resolution wise, it’s just fine. When you said that you couldn’t get the 4K resolution footage to come out good, is probably due to your lack of knowledge on settings. 6. When you were getting the pitch angle warnings, that was probably because you were using the Plus battery, which generally causes problems with pitch and roll. Easy fix. Calibrate the drones IMU. All your problems with pitch are gone. 7. Yes you can’t fly in national parks, however if you take of from land which isn’t apart of a national park you are completely fine. ( at least in Canada) 8. The altitude limits are there for legal reasons set by the aviation authorities. 9. Comparing DJI to Holy Stone is crazy. It’s like comparing Dollar Store products to Apple or Samsung. I promise you that you won’t get any better performance from a holy stone. And in case your wondering yes I’m a licensed drone pilot, and have lots of experience with DJI drones, specifically the mini 3 pro and 4 pro. But anyways thanks for sharing your opinion on one of Djis best selling Drones. Man my hands hurt now.

This may sound hyper critical, but the intent is not to just needlessly blame. As part of a huge community of drone pilots, it's about clarity and awareness regarding some of what you report here. If you had any errant flight behavior, a quick call or chat with DJI Support probablywould have advised a Compass Calibration (easy, 30 seconds) or an IMU Calibration (2 minutes, also easy) . I noted that your criticisms directed at how the drone responded were almost certainly pilot error, but I am not saying so to cast blame, just to be fair. You do not quote correct FAA requirements for drone flight. Maximum flight altitude in the United States for drones is 400 ft. AGL. It is NOT 500 METER (1640 feet) - That number is maximum altitude the the Mini 3, and most DJI Consumer drones are capable of , not what's LEGAL. Did you take the TRUST TEST? This is a REQUIRED basic aeronautical test to get you proficient in BASIC FLIGHT KNOWLEDGE, and it's REQUIRED for all recreational pilot operations, even for sub 250 gram drones that do not require registration. It's free, but MUST be taken. You can print out proof of completion as a Wallet size card. 2. Max altitude is 400 Feet AGL (above ground level). So if there's a hill, you can fly 400 feet ABOVE THE HILL. I absolutely understand your disappointment in multiple things. Its hard to find a single source of requirements and info. I am suggesting before blaming the Mini 3 aircraft and its controls, doing more research and preparation would probably have prepared you for a substantially better experience. Its NOT for everyone, of course, and likely not for you. Just asking you to consider that some of the poor experience is on you, not just the drone manufacturer. They want to sell drones. If they overloaded customers with requirements, costs, and test requirements for flying drones, noting how it takes more time to be proficient with reverse stick application flying towards yourself, maintaining VLOS at all times, flight time at the controls to gain proficiency, they would lose sales. Unfortunately new pilots, who would benefit most from drones with omnidirevtional object avoidance are the LEAST likely to spend 50% more or TWICE as much on a drone. I'm sorry it was a bust for you. I enjoy seeing new pilots have a blast, as they explore the hobby. As an amateur photographer I was immediately hooked when I flew a cheap Amazon drone, to see yhevworld from a new perspective, and to end up spending, well... we wont talk about that. 😂

And i absolutely love it. i bought it used and have had it for a year. I do fly it regularly. Maybe try ordering a new 1. Also i would suspect that some of your problems might stem from some default settings on the drone. DJI really does have the best video drones out.

@whataworld4894 because the larger sensor the drone does have better dynamic range. So that means it will capture more of the shadows and highlights without blowing out. I would say that if you are happy with the phone camera then you might not need the drone. But if you have a vision of what you want to capture and it requires a drone than get one. But your phone camera is actually really good too.

aside from that tilting issue i think these are more limitations of your area than limitations of ur drone. i have a mini 4 pro in central ohio and i can get a solid 6 miles of travel out of it before i start to loose connection. and thats with dense trees. also, the DJI is pretty much as good as it gets in the consumer market. if ur hitting that many physical limitations a budget drone may not be in the cards for you. you may want to step it up to a air 3 or mavic series. ive had a holy stone and they are god awful. and the gopro karma and that lost connection every 5 seconds. it still does fly aways. maybe look into a potensic atom se for a budget drone.
