  • Our take on the DJI Mini 3 RC

    The DJI Mini 3 RC is a sub-250 g folding camera drone sold with the RC remote, which has a built-in screen so you fly without a phone. It shoots 4K HDR video on a 1/1.3-inch sensor and flies up to 38 minutes per battery. It suits beginners and travelers who want light, simple aerial footage. Against the Mini 2 it adds a larger sensor, HDR video and longer flight time; against the Mini 3 Pro it lacks forward and backward obstacle sensors and the higher frame rates.

    What reviewers say

    • 4.6 / 552 ratings

    Owners rate it highly as an easy, light drone with good image quality for its class. Most praise the flight time and the screen remote. The common complaint is the missing obstacle sensors, which makes it less forgiving for careless flying.

    What people mention
    • Flight timePraisedOwners say the 38-minute rating holds up in calm conditions and cuts down on battery swaps.
    • Obstacle avoidanceCriticisedReviewers note there are no forward or backward sensors, so the drone will not stop itself near trees or walls.
    • Image qualityPraisedThe 1/1.3-inch sensor and HDR video are called a clear step up from the Mini 2, especially in low light.
    • RemotePraisedThe RC controller's built-in screen is seen as quicker to set up than mounting a phone.
    • TrackingCriticisedBuyers miss subject tracking, which the Mini 3 Pro offers and this model does not.
    • PortabilityPraisedAt under 250 g it packs small and avoids registration rules in many places.

    Questions and answers

    Is the DJI Mini 3 RC worth it over the Mini 2?
    Yes if you want the larger sensor, HDR video and longer flight time. The Mini 2 is cheaper and still fine for basic 1080p and 4K clips.
    Does the Mini 3 RC have obstacle avoidance?
    No. It has downward sensors for landing and hovering but no forward or backward obstacle detection, so you must watch where you fly.
    How long can it fly on one battery?
    DJI rates it at up to 38 minutes. Real flights with wind and hovering typically run shorter.
    Do I need a phone with the RC remote?
    No. The RC controller has a built-in screen, so you can fly without attaching a phone.
    What is in the box?
    The drone, the RC remote, one Intelligent Flight Battery, spare propellers, a gimbal protector and a USB-C cable. Check the kit you pick for extra batteries.
    Can it shoot vertical video?
    Yes. The gimbal rotates so the camera can film true vertical clips for social media.
    Where is the DJI Mini 3 RC cheapest?
    At Best Buy, for $549.00, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the DJI Mini 3 RC?
    Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 52 ratings.
