12/3/2023 0 Comments Skydio 2 drone caseCheck out another Paul Rossi review of Autel’s EVO II here. The following Skydio 2 review is authored by Paul Rossi: Chief Operations Officer and Chief Pilot at Nine Ten Drones, a North Carolina-based drone services, training, and reseller company. With videos, images, and everything you need to know about Skydio 2 from battery to flight experience and support options, this is the review you’ll want to read before buying. And that could become a challenge for DJI in the future, even if it does now dominate the consumer skies more than ever.This deep dive Skydio 2 review provides first person experience from pro pilot Paul Rossi. But the fact the Mini 3 Pro is already a brilliant little drone with surprisingly impressive wind resistance (as I discovered on a recent trip to the coast of Devon, UK) means I almost certainly won't be looking to upgrade. But fortunately, DJI does also release its SDK (Software Development Kit) for developers to unlock new features – and the Mini 3 Pro was added to list of supported drones in April, even if the DJI RC controller isn't on there.īased on the leaks so far, I'm pretty confident the DJI Mini 4 Pro will again be one of the best drones you can buy – and most likely, the best compact, sub-250g one of its kind. ![]() The more annoying thing is the feeling that some features – like waypoints – could technically be added to older drones like the Mini 3 Pro, rather than saved for a successor. And that appears to be the case with the Mini 4 Pro – as someone who mainly uses their drone for photography, there simply aren't enough compelling upgrades (from the leaks, at least) to tempt me to upgrade. In some ways, that's more reassuring for drone buyers – you can feel pretty safe buying one of the best DJI drones without fearing that it's going to be blown out of the skies within months by a new technological leap. The DJI Air 3 recently arrived with the DJI RC 2 controller (above), which will likely also work with the incoming Mini 4 Pro. No longer does it cannibalize its own drones with an exciting new model, just because it can – these days, new models are most likely to deliver small improvements like increased range or marginally better obstacle avoidance. Most recently, it was Skydio that was forced to permanently ground its consumer drones.īut in recent years, DJI's drone updates have become increasingly incremental. When DJI first blazed onto the compact drone scene with the Mavic Pro in 2016, its pace of innovation was pretty thrilling – and also devastating for its rivals, who have gradually dropped out of the skies over the years. It'll probably replace the Mini 3 Pro in DJI's lineup, but it could be worth looking out for second-hand versions of the latter if you want to snap up a bargain. Still, I'll certainly live without it – and most of the Mini 4 Pro's other new features, when that drone lands sometime in September. Whether that's related to my drone's lack of sideways obstacle sensors or something else, it seems unlikely that DJI will add it to the Mini 3 Pro now. Right now, my Mini 3 Pro only offers this in Hyperlapse mode, strangely. These let your drone fly through a predetermined path while shooting video, and means you can tell it where and when it should take shots. Perhaps the only Mini 4 Pro feature I'll be looking at enviously will be support for waypoints. But again, these aren't huge upgrades on the Mini 3 Pro's pads, with the main differences being the increased range, slightly more reliable OcuSync 4.0 connectivity, and some emergency internal storage (in case you forget your microSD cards). OcuSync 4.0 will also ensure that the Mini 4 Pro is compatible with DJI's new DJI RC 2 and RC-N2 controllers.
