Heres a couple. The camera is insane on this, video footage is just as good.

Looks good, what's the true range do you guesstimate?
 
I use range boosters on mine made by sunny life

Foldable and do make a difference but crap when the drone is directly overhead unless you point the controller directly at the drone which feels wierd

There are some people saying the mini 3 range is shite. I did notice it fairs a lot better in open areas away from houses, probably interference.

Its as if the queen's just died, trust me. Not at all but the repair costs are silly. Gimbal's totally fucked and a loose arm on one side, plus a couple of loose casings.

Its going on eBay.

Sadly not Jeff as i wasn't recording. The silly thing is i was trying to get a few shots to post on here of the Great North run as it passes my back door, on the third attempt as i was waiting for the crowds of runners to pass i heard a helicopter nearby, forgetting the drone was in sports mode (which disables the crash avoidance sensors) i made a fast decline and crashed into a wall as the sensors were off. Recovered the drone and the gimbal's snapped in half, a loose arm and a few scratched parts.

Im cutting my losses, moving it on for parts.

Love the hyperlapse mode on the Mini 3 Pro.
