Seems like a good price considering last all time low was $785 from Amazon JP
If you rarely use the drone then what is tempting you to buy another one?
True, which is why I haven't bought it - but I'm sure there's many on here who have bought something because it was on sale and didn't think too hard about it.
Because buying crap you don't need/use at a bargain price is a prerequisite to keep your OzB badge.
Glad I’m not the only one
Same, bought rarely used mini 1.
This isn't the Pro model, which really everyone should be getting at a minimum.
Mini 3 Pro is out of stock now, only Mini 4 Pro is widely available and the price will be nearly triple of this.
Mini 3 is still a good option if you don't need obstacle avoidance sensors to fly in narrow air space.
Fair points. Most likely wouldn't consider this at all over Pro hence why there is still stock readily available, or look to pick up a Mini 3 Pro second hand.
DJI Mini 3 Pro offers advanced features, better camera capabilities (including 60fps vs only 30fps), longer range, better obstacle avoidance as you noted and intelligent shooting modes (FocusTrack, MasterShots, Hyperlapse, and ActiveTrack 4.0 for subject tracking.).
Honestly it's such a massive step down over the Pro.
60fps vs 30fps is not a big deal to most casual drone flyers.
With longer range, it is only how far you can fly before you lose the signal, by that time you are flying way out of line of vision and not considered legal.
As for those intelligent shooting modes, again not essential features for a lot of casual drone flyers.
So with all that said, is it worth spending triple the price for them for most casual drone flyers?
Forget about second hand Mini 3 Pro, that's different topic again with buying second hand drones, which can also apply to Mini 3 and Mini 4 Pro.
if only we can fly this in more places..
That's the main issue with drones now a day. Such many restrictions so people have to consider carefully before spending the money on drones.
This is the only reason why I don't have a drone. Don't see the use of it practically other than initial novelty factor.
you can, but need to drive far. well if i am single probably i will…. but who got time nowadays
Just do what you want anyway.
DJI Neo may also be a good option for some.
That's like a DJI MINI mini edition…Better keep it around you within a few metres radius.
Unless you do a lot of drone video, for everyone else you will use it a couple of times, and it will sit there collecting dust and waiting for the battery to die beyond recovery.
personal experience, mate?
Agreed. I bought one years ago and sold it within 2 months. Started collecting dust
WoW thats great price
I got it back in June for $574 but without additional batteries https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/852033
Actually a good deal! Was looking for one for a while missed this one:

Getting the same + 2 batteries for almost the same price as ^^
Thanks OP
Anyone know how and where to find a deal on just the flymore kit? Sick of my single battery but RRP for new is too high
Damn I bought the mini 2 se combo last year for around this price. I hardly use it but I wish I had this to hardly use.
Can you vertically tilt the gimbal on these or is that only available on the pro model?
You can only pan Vertically with the gimbal.
For what it's worth, I've owned a Mini 3 Pro (sold it and I'm.aware it's not the same drone as this listing).
I currently own a Mini 4 Pro, an Avata 2 and even a Neo. 😂 This listed drone s great, but I would personally shell out a little more and get the Mini 4 Pro. Protip. If you can wait a very short amount of time, speaking within weeks/months maximum, you'll likely be able to bag yourself a Mini 5 Pro. (better features likely lower price than Mini 4 Pro or similar.

I belive mini 3 doesnt have any obstacle avoidance
Believe you are absolutely right. stole it from a language model. It's likely picked up the Pro. I've never owned a Mini 3.
Do you still need a phone all the time with this model or is it just for initial set up?
No. Phone not necessary out flying. It comes with a DJI RC 2 controller.
If a mini 5 pro launches, why will it be cheaper than a mini 5 pro?
I'm sure your second number, you meant 4. Just my experience because as soon as I got wind the Mini 4 Pro was being launched before it was known by wider society, sold my secondhand Mini 3 Pro (and accessories).on eBay for a pretty penny..couple that with striking a great deal on release - actually ended up a little ahead. Safer way for me to say it is if you play timings right, you can effectively upgrade for free (or quite close to it).
Yes I did mean 4!. I got what you are saying, good luck and hope you get a good deal upon release.
So tempting. Had a mavic pro many years ago. Had in cart but removed. Not going to be used lots and not many places anymore able to fly. Use the $600 on other useless things :) had the osmo pocket 2 combo in cart for $124 and it disappeared and got sold out. Thought it would stay in cart on eBay?
Thought it would stay in cart on eBay?
No, most online shops won't reserve the item you have in your cart, otherwise people could hold onto items and never purchase them.
Nowadays pretty sure they could have in cart for example 15-30 minutes and that would hold that stock.
Off course don't think it would just stay there.
It was in cart less then 3 minutes. Went back here and copied the code. Back and it was removed. Oz bargain way to try to save bit of Xtra. Ended up saving $132 as didn't get it :) (I was in checkout)
Yeah, usually when stock is reserved, there would be a timer counting down. I think with eBay, it's whoever is the fastest to checkout.
imagine if stay… thousand ozb member will just click add then deciding for a week
Thought it would stay in cart on eBay?
Why would you think this?
Video 720p/30fps
is this correct as in the ebay listing ?
That's the resolution on the controller. The video it records goes up to 4k
Is the code working?
Tempted to do a buy now think later for this but I still have the original Mavic Mini that I also bought from an eBay flash sale years ago from here that rarely gets used…
