to be that person, especially since this is my first post, but just wondering if anyone knows if the Mini 3 has been discontinued. Seems like its out of stock most places, which seems like a bit of a clue, and while I’d love to pick one up as my first drone, I don’t want to be stranded, unable to buy extra batteries or whatever, a few months down the road.
If you don’t know, but have experience about buying DJI parts (batteries, propeller blades etc), for discontinued models, how long are they typically available after the drone has been discontinued?
The price of the Mini 3 is significantly less than the Mini 4 Pro (less than half), and it is a good entry price as long as its not abandoned after a month.
The mini 3 seems to be available in the UK. It may be a regional thing.
Props are I think common across the mini 3 series and mini 4 pro so I don’t think there’s much chance of them becoming permanently unavailable for several years yet.
That said, if you fly with care a 2 or 3 sets of spare props will probably out last the drone.
I think there is some compatibility between the batteries of the mini 3 and mini 4 series drones but you’d have to google it to check if it is 2 way. I also recollect that there can be a weight issue in that one series batteries out the other over 250g, again youd need to google it ……. unless someone claifies the point here.
