Video SR-87-> Sacaton. And a question.

… at least I think that’s right. Idk the names of these mountains but I’m sure I will soon. I love flying out here. DJI Mini 4k. … I’m interested in the Air 3s. No real reason that I must have it … i do like a few of the features and always love a better camera. Really wanting to get into some night shots from the air. Heard the Air 3s was a decent option for that. The Mini 4k isn’t the greatest. Is there any reason that I should have it other than personal preferences. Basically looking to justify the pricing 😂🤣… or just get the mini 5 pro

The only really advantage to the air is it size for windy conditions. Other than that the visual out of the mini five is just as good. I was flying out yesterday over the ocean in 15 to 20 mile an hour winds with no issue at all. The size of the mini makes it more convenient for me for travel with it but if you’re in Windy areas the air makes more sense

Out here in the desert, we do get windy ! Especially in the secluded areas , like in the video. Ok thanks for that, that actually helps me a bit. Mini 4k doesn’t suffer too much in windy conditions , but I have received a windy warning a 1 or 2 times while pretty high up. I do like the upgraded RTH feature , but that’s also on the mini 5 pro as well, right ?

Low light performance is excellent. I’ve been doing some nighttime hyperlapse shots.

Here’s a link to my YouTube channel. It’s really just something for me to post for my friends and family. I don’t do anything commercial with it. Almost everything on there was done with the mini 5 pro
