Our Verdict
The compact and foldable design of DJI’s Mini series drones makes it easy to bring the Mini 3 on all of your adventures, with this drone-only version being perfect if you already have a controller. The folded size measures just 148x90x62mm, which easily fits into most camera backpacks, or even a larger coat pocket so it’s always at the ready. Despite being a more budget-friendly option than the flagship Pro version, the Mini 3 boasts improved flight times as well as excellent imaging capabilities.
You can record stabilised 4K videos, capture dynamic shots using QuickShots, as well as harnessing a variety of Panorama modes, to capture images of huge epic scenes below. Flights are well controlled even if there are gusts of wind, with decent Level 5 wind resistance and a host of features aimed at ensuring the drone takes off and returns back to you safely.
A bright lens with an equivalent 24mm focal width is capable of rendering high detail with accurate colours, when paired with the 12 megapixel 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor. This comes with dual native ISO and chip-level HDR technology for refined results, with enhanced low light performance during twilight, sunrise and sunset, perfect for capitalising on softer available light.
If you’re looking for a versatile, competent and beginner-friendly drone with great features to create engaging content, the DJI Mini 3 makes an excellent choice.
