It looks and feels cheaper than DJI’s $1,100 RC Pro, of course, and the display isn’t nearly as bright or crisp.

If you’d rather not use a smartphone and the usual DJI RC-N1 remote, for an extra $240 you can get the Mini 3 Pro with the new RC remote that features a built-in screen. So just as with a smartphone or camera, you get up to 48-megapixel videos and 4K video whether shooting in portrait or landscape modes. To maximize quality, the gimbal physically turns the camera sideways for both video and photos. Videos and photos are saved on microSD cards and there’s a small 1.25GB of internal storage.Īnother cool trick is true vertical video mode for social media sharing. That compares to 4K at 30fps for the Mini 2 and Autel’s EVO Nano+, the Mini 3 Pro’s principal rival.

4K and 2.7K are supported at up to 60 fps, or you can shoot 1080p at 120 fps. Video specs are impressive for a small drone, too. It has a two times digital zoom for 4K and four times for 1080p. You can shoot high-res 48-megapixel photos or combine four pixels into one for 12-megapixel images with improved night sensitivity, just like on many smartphones. Just as DJI’s Mavic 3 borrowed features from mirrorless cameras, the Mini 3 Pro has taken a page from smartphones.

It offers Dual Native ISO for improved HDR and low-light sensitivity, and a 24mm-equivalent f/1.7 fixed aperture lens. It has a relatively large 48-megapixel 1/1.3-inch sensor, bigger than the one on the iPhone 13 and only about 40 percent smaller than the DJI Mavic 2 Pro’s 1-inch sensor. The higher upward angle makes it useful to capture dramatic shots of buildings, cliffs and so forth. The camera gimbal tilts down 90 degrees and up 60, more than double the Mini 2 and Mavic Air 2. So if you don’t have line of sight to the drone, you won’t get anywhere close to 12 km. For example, we tried multiple passes under a nearby bridge and it either nearly or completely lost the signal, forcing the drone to find its own way out. If you don’t have direct line of sight, it tends to lose the signal far more rapidly than the Mavic 3. That system is key for mountain bikers and others who want to film their adventures in forests and other tricky environments.ĭJI claims its 1080p OcuSync 3.0 RC video transmission works over 12 km (7.5 miles), but we found this to be a weak point in our tests. While the Mini 2 was completely lacking in obstacle avoidance features, the Mini 3 Pro has DJI’s APAS 4.0 system and can detect objects in front, behind and below, all with fairly wide sensing visibility. However, I could also see it drawing concern from privacy advocates. Above 50 meters or so (164 feet), you can't hear it at all, which is great in terms of not disturbing wildlife, etc. And speaking of those, this drone is incredibly quiet. The redesign also allowed DJI to use bigger propellers to increase propulsion efficiency. To aid in endurance and keep it more resistant to wind, the Mini 3 Pro has a new aerodynamic body that tilts when flying forward to reduce drag. DJI notes that the higher-capacity battery isn’t available in the EU and other regions due to local regulations, but it can be sold in the US. Again, don’t count on achieving that figure very often, but even if you hit 40 minutes, that’s still incredible for a lightweight drone.

If that’s not enough, DJI offers the optional Intelligent Flight Battery Plus that boosts endurance to 47 minutes max (while keeping the weight unchanged), something that’s unprecedented for a drone this size. With a drone so light, those numbers of course depend heavily on wind and other factors. We ran it to exhaustion several times and saw about 30 minutes max, with the return to home (RTH) warning kicking in after about 25 minutes. The standard Intelligent Flight Battery delivers up to 34 minutes of flight time, according to DJI, but you’ll need to take that figure with a huge grain of salt.

And as it’s under 250 grams, you don’t have to register it or have a drone pilot’s license in the US and other countries. That in turn makes it ideal for travel, adventure activities and more. The Mini 3 Pro is so small that you can fit it, the RC remote, three batteries and a charger into a tiny bag.
