DJI Mini 3 Pro

New image sensor, larger aperture, vertical filming, bigger battery, and a lot more expensive.

On top of all that, you can add the Fly More Kit bundle for an extra $189, which includes two extra Intelligent Flight batteries (the standard ones that still keep your drone sub-250g), a charging hub, two sets of propellers, and a shoulder carry bag. While it doesn’t have physical sensors in the back, it does have backward sensing with the help of other sensors. You can pre-order the Mini 3 Pro starting today, and there are many bundles to choose from. The Mini 3 Pro is also capable of capturing photos up to 48MP. All of that footage is captured on a new camera with an f/1.7 aperture, which is great news for everyone enjoying low-light drone photography and videography. Correction May 10th, 11:55AM ET: The article originally stated that the Mini 3 Pro doesn’t have backward sensing capabilities. Mini 3 Pro is also capable of other intelligent flight modes, like MasterShots, which was introduced in the DJI Air 2S and sends out your drone to autonomously create a short edit based on pre-programmed flights. DJI says, “There is a potential to be compatible with other drones in the future.” The Mini 3 Pro has a new and slightly larger 1/1.3-inch sensor compared to the 1/2.3-inch sensor found on the Mini 2, capable of filming video at 4K up to 60fps and HDR at 4K up to 30fps. But, as of right now, DJI won’t confirm that any such drone is in the works. The newly announced Mini 3 Pro comes with a new design, 4K60 video, a larger image sensor, a larger aperture, obstacle avoidance sensors, and even an option for a bigger battery. However, using the bigger battery means that your drone will be heavier than 250 grams, so don’t forget to register your drone with the FAA if you’re planning on spending more on the “Fly More Kit Plus” that comes with that battery. But there’s also an option to buy an “Intelligent Flight Battery Plus,” which allows for an impressive maximum flight time of 47 minutes.

And a premium price tag, nearly twice as much as the DJI Mini 2.

The DJI Mini 3 Pro is on sale from today. The bigger drone has better obstacle avoidance, is a bit faster, and uses a bigger sensor, but the new Mini 3 Pro is close on all of these fronts. In terms of video, the DJI Mini 3 Pro ups the ante over its predecessor. While that drone only had downward sensors, the Mini 3 Pro has forward, backward and downward sensors. They allow the DJI Mini 3 Pro to support autonomous flight modes like Spotlight 2.0, Point of Interest 3.0, Active Track 4.0, and MasterShots. There's Hyperlapse as well. This year, DJI's mini drone is going pro.

The Mini 3 Pro is the latest drone from DJI: a super small, super powerful drone designed for pro-level content creation and more.

Thanks to its upgraded sensing system, DJI Mini 3 Pro is the first of the Mini lineup to integrate APAS and FocusTrack. In a first for the Mini drone series, DJI Mini 3 Pro features Tri-Directional Obstacle Sensing, consisting of forward, backward, and downward visual sensors. The Intelligent Flight Battery Plus allows for a maximum flight time of 47 minutes, an unprecedented capability for a drone this size. Miriam has penned over 3,000 articles focused on the commercial drone space and is an international speaker and recognized figure in the industry. The enhancements onboard DJI Mini 3 Pro already make it an excellent flying camera, but that’s not all. Digital video zoom at up to 2x is available in 4K, 3x in 2.7K, and 4x in Full HD. Among the key pieces of user feedback we’ve applied, DJI Mini 3 Pro also has improved image performance with 2.4μm pixels that capture more image detail, which is especially helpful in low lighting and night. Whether posting to traditional horizontal-focused channels or rapidly developing short-form channels that prioritize a vertical format, the Mini 3 Pro’s combination of flight, camera and intelligent systems enables users to showcase their creativity.” One unmistakable result of this exploration with Mini 3 Pro is a completely new structural design that brings several performance enhancements. With a fresh, new look, DJI Mini 3 Pro truly unlocks more creative possibilities. “DJI developed the Mini series to deliver DJI-quality performance in the lightest, safest weight category. The DJI Mini 3 “delivers advanced features like 4K/60fps video, ActiveTrack, tri-directional obstacle sensing, and 90° gimbal rotation to shoot high-quality vertical imaging for social media…empowers users everywhere to fly mini, create big.” We’re most proud of the close coordination between all those efforts by disparate teams that created a singularly extraordinary drone.”

DJI Mini 3 Pro (DJI RC) retails for $1,299 AUD and includes DJI RC. By comparison, the Mini 2 launched at $749. DJI Mini 3 Pro retails for $1,119 AUD and includes DJI's RC-N1 controller. In a first for the Mini drone series, DJI Mini 3 Pro features 'Tri-Directional Obstacle Sensing', consisting of forward, backward, and downward visual sensors. DJI has announced the Mini 3 Pro drone, which has been completely redesigned. But DJI says Mini 3 Pro was made with more built-in features than any other DJI drone its size, thanks to enhanced flight performance, camera system, battery life, and intelligent features that were previously only available in the Air and Mavic series. With the DJI Fly app already integrated, users won’t need to mount their smartphone to their controller, freeing their personal device during the flying experience.

DJI's Mini 3 Pro takes many of the pro features of its bigger drones and packages it up in a pocket size. How does it perform?

The DJI Mini 3 Pro Fly More Kit Plus retails for $249 USD and includes two Intelligent Flight Batteries Plus, one two-way charging hub, two sets of propellers, and one shoulder bag. The DJI Mini 3 Pro Fly More Kit retails for $189 USD and includes two Intelligent Flight Batteries, one two-way charging hub, two sets of propellers, and one shoulder bag. The DJI Mini 3 Pro is available for pre-order today from store.dji.com and most authorized retail partners in several configurations. The image quality is approaching the DJI Air 2S however, which might be a dilemma in DJI’s product strategy (why buy an Air 2S when the Mini 3 is cheaper and more portable?) In my experience, it was much easier to fly than rigging a phone to a controller and using the app. Probably the biggest step up on the Mini 3 Pro is the camera that now plays with the big boys, featuring 4K 60fps (30fps in HDR) and up to 48mp stills. If the Mini 3 is flying sideways, it is naked in terms of obstacle avoidance. DJI is at it again, bringing technology from its bigger, more expensive products down to its diminutive sub-250-gram DJI Mini 3 Pro drone, which means you don’t need a license to fly it in the US and other jurisdictions. Anything to the left or right is blind which means you can’t get great follow shots without flying blind to obstacles. DJI says the Mini 3 has “Tri-Directional Obstacle sensing” which is a little bit misleading. It is genuinely hard to believe how long these little batteries keep this thing aloft. You can see above that the drone loses the pickup for various reasons.

DJI has made its latest drone official after plenty of leaks. The DJI Mini 3 Pro comes in at under 249 grams.

Those with more demanding requirements will have the option to upgrade to a larger battery pack that will give the Mini 3 Pro an extended flight time of up to 47 minutes. Despite its small size the DJI Mini 3 Pro will be able to offer a flight time that surpasses 30 minutes with its standard battery pack. Those that like more granular control of the footage will be happy to know that the Mini 3 Pro offers a flat color profile for its footage with its D-Cinelike profile.

The DJI Mini 3 Pro is packed with features such as 4K/60fps video, ActiveTrack, tri-directional obstacle sensing, and 90° gimbal rotation.

Other notable smart features include MasterShots which keeps the subject in the centre of the frame while executing different maneuvers in sequence to generate a short cinematic video. The camera system has been redesigned from the ground up with the professional in mind. What we can’t get our head around is how much flight time the brand has managed to eke out of such a small package. Obstacle safety sensors are built into the front, rear, and bottom of the drone with a wide field of view to help prevent any accidents. Since its inception in 2019, the DJI Mini has been the go-to for content creators on the move, and today, the bar has clearly been raised. We’ve been going a little drone crazy in the Man of Many offices as of late with the announcement of the DJI Mini 3 Pro. This awesome little guy is packed with features you typically find in drones twice its size (and price) such as 4K/60fps video, ActiveTrack, tri-directional obstacle sensing, and 90° gimbal rotation to shoot high-quality vertical imaging for social media (Instagram Stories). All these features are packed inside a drone that can fly continuously for over 30-minutes and weighs just 249 grams.

The DJI Mini 3 Pro is available in three combos: Featuring the new DJI RC smart controller; the DJI RC-N1 controller; or drone only.

DJI has a quasi-monopolistic hold over the consumer drone industry with no other brand even coming close in market share.

There's also an extended-use "Intelligent" option for those with more demanding requirements, which stretches the battery life to 47 minutes. As usual with this series, the drone weighs under 249g which allows for license-free flight in the U.S. Somewhere between those two extremes lies a new offering in the company's Mini range catering to those looking for a more portable option with major upgrades to performance.

DJI has finally answered the pleas of TikTok creators the world over and fitted its new drone with a camera that can flip over and shoot truly vertical ...

The Fly More Combo comes with three batteries and a standard RC controller. The drone supports cards up to 512GB in size. It goes on sale on May 17 starting at £639 with no controller (in case you already own a compatible one) or £709 with a controller.

DJI launches another mini drone at sub-250 grams weight. The DJI Mini 3 Pro boasts a new 48MP camera sensor and better battery life.

In terms of pricing, the DJI Mini 3 Pro is available for pre-order at $669 or $759 with the standard RC-N1 controller. Surprisingly, DJI has also added a vertical shooting mode and the company's new Tri-directional Obstacle Sensing that uses a set of visual sensors placed at the front, back, and bottom of the device. DJI says that the Mini 3 Pro model boasts a longer flight time at 34 minutes, thanks to the better structural design on the drone's arms and propellers. It includes a 5.5-inch HD display for remote viewing of the drone's view for up to 18.5 kilometers flight distance. The sensor is paired with a f/1.7 aperture which is significantly wider than the heavier Mavic Air 2 and promises a better low-light performance. At 249 grams, the third-gen drone is comparable to the Mini 2 but boasts an improved design and better specs.

It adds 4K/60FPS shooting modes, up to 46 minutes of battery life, a slew of new photo and video modes, and even a new remote control with a built-in display.

It’s just so good, and so lightweight, and basically the same size as the existing DJI controllers that lack a screen. DJI was able to confirm that my specific serial number was part of a batch of units that had a manufacturing error, and the company says that’s been resolved and that batch has been returned. If you spend 80% of your time tracking sports, then go Skydio. If you spend 80% of your time doing other photo/video then go DJI. If you’re in the middle? The front sensors have a 90* vertical field of view, and a 106* horizontal field of view. Whereas the rearward sensors have a 73* vertical field of view and a 56* horizontal field of view. Stability-wise of the gimbal and ensuring the camera has a stable platform to shoot from, is the usual DJI perfection. The aperture is f/1.7 with a focal range of 1m to infinity, and a default field of view of 82.1*, equivalent to a 24mm lens. It just uses a USB-C port on the side to charge, and has a USB-A port for charging other things (like the controller). It has LED’s on the backside to see battery status. I like that all this stuff easily fits in the single DJI drone bag, and then I can use my laptop charger to charge it all on the road. In terms of usable brightness, on a sunny beach day, I found the DJI RC basically the same as my iPhone 13 Pro in terms of viewability/visibility. That’s likely because the iPhone 13 Pro on a hot/sunny day will quickly overheat and lessen the display brightness significantly, thus, you’re down to the same comparative ranges. Of course, the goal of this drone isn’t to be at the same level of autonomy as something like the Skydio 2/2 Plus. Instead, it’s to be ultra-portable at under 250g (albeit, plus a controller), and also to be more general-purpose for getting non-sports shots if you want. Now, I’ve been testing a media loaner for a bit now, getting in plenty of shots and testing – enough to understand the pros and cons.

If you want the basic RC-N1 controller or no controller, DJI states August 2022 as the shipping date on their website. That's a long time to wait and would ...

So when will DJI’s Mini 3 Pro be delivered to your doorstep? DJI’s Mini 3 Pro is now available to order from DJI’s online store and retailers worldwide. Overall shipping dates from DJI’s store from international buyers are closer to mid- to late June, but they will vary by country.

When it comes to drones and gimbals, DJI is the name to beat. With the new DJI Mini 3 Pro, that just got a little harder.

With a new design, DJI will also release a new controller to justify the Pro badge. Since the unit is so light, you won’t need to register with the FAA—just please be careful where you fly this thing. A redesigned shell cradles a new camera unit with a larger sensor at 1/1.3” compared to the 1/2.3” of the Mini 2. DJI has also included Hyperlapse and Digital Zoom to really fill out your toolkit. With the new DJI Mini 3 Pro, that just got a little harder. Video resolutions have been increased to 4K60p at a resolution of 3840 by 2160, and 120fps slow-motion has been added when in FHD mode. Tri-Directional Obstacle Sensing now offers forward, backward, and downward dual-vision sensors while the Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems or APAS 4.0 detects objects in real-time, keeping your flight path clean. And photographers also got some love with this new update. But here’s the coolest update yet. DJI has also increased the aperture to f/1.7 with an FOV of 82.1° even though the equivalent focal length remains at 24mm. This all depends on the battery option and SD card you choose. While the tiniest drone in DJI’s lineup might seem like a slouch, it’s anything but.
