Note: most customers choose the DJI Mini 3 Fly More Combo because of its longer flight time thanks to the 2 extra batteries.
With the DJI Mini 3 + Smart Controller, you can easily make cinematic videos from the air. The Smart Controller has a screen, so you don't need a phone to fly. On the screen, you can watch live footage so it's easy to choose a frame. The drone has obstacle detection on the bottom, so it's suitable for beginners. Once it recognizes an obstacle, the drone automatically moves around it. This prevents collisions while landing. Thanks to the compact size and low weight of 249g, you can effortlessly take the drone on your trips. With a fully charged battery and ideal weather conditions, you can fly for up to 38 minutes. Strong wind and a low outdoor temperature shorten the battery life.
Image quality
You can make smooth videos in 4K resolution at 30 fps with the DJI Mini 3. You can record active moments on your vacation, while you're hiking, for example. Videos have a large dynamic range and realistic colors when you record in HDR. You can even see details in dark shadows this way, for example. If you record videos for social media, you can make vertical recordings thanks to the True Vertical Shooting function. The gimbal rotates by 90 degrees in this mode, so you can capture vertical recordings without quality loss that are suitable for sharing via Instagram or TikTok afterwards.
Functions
Even when there's wind, the images are stable. The 3-axis image stabilization reduces shocks and vibrations in your videos. The drone can withstand wind gusts of up to 38km/h. The remote allows you to turn on different recording modes, such as the Boomerang mode. This makes your drone fly around a subject in an oval shape, which ensures cinematic images.
Laws and regulations
In 2021, new European drone legislation came into effect. This means that drone pilots must register themselves if they own a drone that weighs more than 250g or has a camera. They receive an operator number that needs to be attached to their drone and clearly visible. This drone weighs less than 250g, so you don't need a drone course. You do need to register the drone and request an operator number.
