The key differences
1. Payload
This is the deciding factor. The SCORP 3's 3.5 kg payload is designed for DSLRs and large-aperture zoom lenses, while the Mini 3 Pro's 2 kg payload suits lighter mirrorless setups. FeiyuTech recommends lenses up to about 90 mm long and 75 mm in diameter for the Mini 3 Pro.
2. Cameras and phones
The Mini 3 Pro is a 4-in-1 gimbal that also works with smartphones. The SCORP 3 is camera-only.
3. Tracking
Both use AI Tracking 4.0 with gesture control and an 18 m range, but FeiyuTech lists face and object tracking on the Mini 3 Pro and face tracking only on the SCORP 3.
4. Price
The Mini 3 Pro is roughly $100 cheaper at the time of writing.
