Our take on the DJI Mini 3 with DJI RC

The DJI Mini 3 is a sub-250g drone that folds down to pocket size and shoots 4K video with a 1/1.3-inch sensor. This version bundles the DJI RC controller, which has a built-in screen so you don't need to mount a phone. It is aimed at beginners and casual flyers who want easy, regulation-friendly aerial photos and video. Compared with the Mini 2, it adds a larger sensor, longer battery life and vertical shooting, but it lacks the obstacle avoidance and longer-range transmission of the pricier Mini 3 Pro.

What reviewers say

Reviewers and owners praise the Mini 3 for its image quality, long flight time and lightweight design. Many note the lack of obstacle avoidance as a trade-off, and some wish for more advanced video features. The DJI RC controller is generally well-liked for its built-in screen, though a few find it bulky.

What people mention
  • Image qualityPraisedOwners say the 1/1.3-inch sensor delivers sharp 4K video and good low-light performance for its class.
  • Battery lifePraisedReviewers highlight the long flight times, often getting close to the claimed 38 minutes in calm conditions.
  • Obstacle avoidanceCriticisedMany note the absence of obstacle sensors, which makes it less forgiving for beginners.
  • PortabilityPraisedThe folding design and low weight make it easy to pack for travel.
  • ControllerMixedThe DJI RC's built-in screen is convenient, but some find it larger and heavier than using a phone.
  • Video featuresMixedWhile vertical shooting is appreciated, advanced users miss log profiles for color grading.
