What is the DJI Mini 3?

The DJI Mini 3 is a small yet powerful drone that turns the sky into your creative canvas easily and without worry, helping you make every moment an aerial moment. Its compact size hides a high degree of complexity that makes it one of DJI’s most sophisticated flying cameras ever. 24 high-performance computing cores, an all-new transmission system with a 4.3mi (7km) *range,5 vision sensors, and a 4K camera stabilized by a 3-axis mechanical gimbal, are at your command with just a push of your thumb or a tap of your finger.*Unobstructed, free of interference, when FCC compliant.

The Mini 3 is the smallest camera-equipped quadcopter in DJI’s drone line-up.

Fly further

Inside the Mini 3’s pocket-sized remote controller is DJI’s brand new OcuSync transmission technology, with a range of 4.3mi (7km)*, HD 720p long range and Full HD 4K short range video streaming.

No bumps and scrapes

An unprotected drone could hit obstacles during long distance flight or when descending from an inadequate height in Return to Home mode. The Mavic uses Flight Autonomy technology to sense obstacles up to 49ft (15m) away and allows the Mini 3 to bypass them or brake to hover, reducing accidents.

4K Ultra HD video

Mini 3 supports 4K video at 30fps. No Electronic Image Stabilization is used, ensuring all footage is 4K. We have created a miniaturized, ultra-precise 3-axis gimbal for the Mavic, capable of stabilizing the camera even during high-speed motion for smooth video and sharp photos.

Features

Priced at $469, the Mini 3 weighs just 743g and, when folded down, measures only 83 x 83 x 198mm – more than compact enough to slip into a small bag. It comes with a battery delivering around 38 minutes of flight per charge, plus it has a top speed of some 21.6KPH, a 12MP camera mounted on a 3-axis gimbal, and a compact remote control that works in tandem with your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet.

    The DJI Mini 3 drone is an interesting addition to the world of consumer drones, offering a combination of convenience and performance. As a beginner-friendly option, it certainly has its merits, but there are some aspects that left me with mixed feelings.

    We all know dji makes great drones so this was an amazing deal. I’ve already wrecked it a couple of times and it only ended up having light scratches to the blades and just in case one of the blades did break they included extra in the box.

    Ended up picking up a soft case that paired perfect with the drone and controller.

    This was purchased for me as a birthday present because I’ve always wanted a drone. I did some research and this seems to be a well respected drone. I’ve never flown a drone before but look through their videos and followed the instructions and found it quite easy to do. Had lots of fun with it on the first flight. Since I bought the combo, it has extra batteries and a Case for everything. I’ve taken it on several trips to state parks and use it to take aerial photographs and videos of the facilities. Overall, quite satisfied
