Dji mini drone review8/3/2023 ![]() Overall, however, the drone feels very similar, and while there are some small dimension changes, the physical handling remains the same.Īt the back, the battery slots and clicks into place, using the usual double-press sequence to boot life into the small object. The body shape is very similar but again with contour changes that have been made due to the removal of the rear-facing sensors the body is slightly different. The two optical sensors at the front of the Pro have been replaced by what looks like vents, and then underneath again, optical sensors have been replaced by a singular downwards sensor. Ultimately this means that you can take the drone with you anywhere, which is very handy.Īt first, the new Mini 3 looks identical to the Mini 3 Pro, but on closer inspection, you start to see the differences. Even with the Fly More Combo, I have for the review, the DJI Smart Controller and two spare batteries, the entire ensemble is still relatively compact once removed from the dedicated carry case it all arrives in. The most obvious advantage of a small and lightweight drone is that it neatly fits into a backpack side pocket without adding too much weight. It’s also incredibly nippy in the air, and even for experienced drone pilots, the Mini takes you back to having fun with these aerial-based machines. Many features set the DJI Mini out as interesting tipping the scales at less than 250g is, of course, the main event, but with that comes the small size and huge flight times. Here in the UK, you can fly in most places without the need to pass the drone test. The DJI Mini 3 follows the DJI Mini 3 Pro and, like the recent release of the Mavic 3 Classic, offers a more affordable option of a flagship model.Īgain, like the Mini 3 Pro, the Mini comes in at under 250g, so there’s no need for the usual drone certification and licenses, although this varies depending on the country you’re in. However, if you need the best image and video quality, fly in places where objects can be an issue or fly closer to the ground where those framerates are all important, I’d spend the extra and go for the Pro. ![]() There are a few missing features, such as the higher framerates at 4K and the object avoidance sensors, but for the most part, this is still a solid choice and incredible value coming in at £200/$200 less than the Pro version.Īfter a good few days testing this lightweight offering and using it alongside the DJI Mini 3 Pro, I have to say there’s little to tell between the two aside from slightly smoother 4K footage on the Pro version and the downward, forward and backward sensors making it easier to navigate in tricky flight locations.įor the huge saving that the Mini 3 model offers you over the Mini 3 Pro model and the fact that it’s still a very capable drone in its own right, most photographers and videographers will find that they’re perfectly happy with the entry-level version of the Mini 3. The new DJI Mini 3 is an impressive little drone with the same flight characteristics as DJI’s larger drones and much the same form factor, size and weight as the DJI Mini Pro. However, the basic course is still recommended, especially in the UK. The big USP of the DJI Mini drones is that they fall under 250g, which means that in many territories, they’re outside many of the usual drone restrictions and regulations you usually need to fly. Again this small drone packs in a list of intelligent flight features in the form of QuickShots as well as image and video quality that would have seemed impossible for a drone of this size and weight only a year ago. DJI’s latest drone, the DJI Mini 3, lands just over six months after the excellent DJI Mini 3 Pro.
