Personally I prefer the Mini 3 (not the Mini 3 Pro). The Mini 3 battery#@Brutalwarpig -
Okay I guess Santa Clause is coming early this year and I've got the green light to get another drone. So, with that being said, I've got two questions for you or anyone else.
#1: If you have a choice between the DJI Mini 3 and DJI Mini 3 Pro which one would you get and what are the differences?
#2: I want to get the controller without the screen built in. So how do I attach my phone or tablet onto the controller (just to view what the camera sees)?
Thanks

I own a Mini 3 with the RC1 screen controller and I love it. That said the Mini 3 has a 12mp camera sensor, the Pro has 48mp. The Mini 3 has longer battery life but only downward collision avoidance. The Pro also has downward collision avoidance but also has forward and backward collision avoidance. They use the same batteries. My Mini 3 has been great but I fly cautiously and altough I've had a few close calls, i have never crashed any of my drones. If you want to use the tracking function, you may want to get the Pro. No difference between the 2 as far as how they fly. I guess it really comes down to how much you want to spend. The RC-N1 (no screen) controller uses a USB to micro USB, USB to USB-C or USB to Lightning cable to connect to whichever device you choose to use. One thing to consider is the remotes with built in screen have between 700 and 1000 nits of brightness. This makes them bright enough for use in direct sunlight. Very few cellphones or tablets have screens with more than 300 or 400 nits of brightness. I think the new IPhone goes to 600 or 700 nits but if it's warm outside or the phone gets hot, the IPhone automatically dims the screen making it hard to see in bright sunlight. There are some ruggedized high brightness Android tablets but the cheapest Tripletech tablet is about $400 up to nearly $1000. Personally, I only fly drones that have built in screen controllers. I always have a bright screen that I can easily see in bright sunlight. I can download GPS maps then keep the remote in airplane mode. On some cellphones, receiving a call can interfere with your drone if it's in flight. I'm also concerned about potential malware or spyware on my personal cellphone.#@Brutalwarpig -
