DJI Mini 3 (DJI RC) – Lightweight 3x Mechanical Gimbal Mini Camera Drone with 4K HDR Video, 38-min Flight Time, up to 32800ft (10km) Video Transmission, Vertical Shooting, GPS Auto Return Integrated

I love this DJI mini 3 drone and the controller, it's a game changer from having to connect my mobile phone to a controller to control the drone , this new set up saves time and the screen on the controller is clear , easy to see and the controls are better and easier to use, also the signal is much better with less drop out in signal quality, less warnings when flying in built up areas than I was having with the DJI SE mini 2.Also this DJI mini 3 drone has 4k video capabilities so the video footage is much improved over my last drone the SE mini 2.Also with the added bonus of true vertical footage at the touch of the screen to change from vertical to horizontal filming for use on Instagram, tiktik and other platforms, youtube shorts also uses vertical so it's good to have the choice.I found it very easy to set up , I definitely recommend getting the care refresh it's added peace of mind and means I can replace the drone without having to pay the full cost.Its still very portable at under 250g , it fits into a case well with the controller to take on my hikes and camps, I can have it in the air very fast , just connect the small screw on controllers turn both devices on and it's almost instant to be able to fly.This drone isn't cheap but it's still good value compared to some of the more expensive drones, true vertical shooting , clear 4k footage, less signal warnings, good stability in windy conditions, obviously not really strong winds but you get to know quickly the wind capabilities of the drone it can handle quite a strong wind.The footage is brilliant, for a small compact drone it's a very good starting point for outdoor filming with a drone.It needs a memory card, just need to be careful landing on grass the drone can flip as I've found out , best landing on a landing pad to be safe, battery life is OK but a second battery means more air time.The drone stays stable and films steady footage.

From the moment I unboxed the DJI Mini 3, I was impressed. The packaging is clean and premium, with everything neatly organized and secure. You can tell DJI puts real care into their products.The drone itself is incredibly lightweight and compact, yet it feels sturdy and high quality. Setup was quick and easy even as someone fairly new to drones, I had it in the air within minutes. The controls are smooth and intuitive, and the app makes flying even easier.The camera quality is outstanding. Crisp 4K video, smooth footage, and vibrant colors, even in lower light. The gimbal does a great job stabilizing shots, and the vertical shooting mode is perfect for social media.It’s packed with smart features like intelligent flight modes, auto takeoff/landing, and return-to-home. Battery life is great too I get plenty of flying time without constantly recharging.Yes, it’s a bit pricey but honestly, it’s worth every penny. Whether you’re a beginner or looking for a compact, high-performance drone, the DJI Mini 3 is an incredible choice. Highly recommended!

What a fantastic bit of kit, Easy to set up and fly. I highly recommend this drone, 4K video crystal clear, Suited to the casual drone flyer.

The media could not be loaded. Amazing, I had it delivered today and it's perfect. The camera is good, with no complaints at all about this drone.I would highly recommend it.

Really great beginners drone

Great piece of kit. But the three batteries only seem to charge half way for some reason.

The media could not be loaded. Just amazing. The fly more kit is great value for money with well over an hour flight time across 3 batteries. Video quality is amazing at 4k30 or 2.7k60. So easy to handle as drone practically flys itself, but everyone knows DJI drones are the best for this. Size and weight conforms to legal standards being under 249g, meaning no license is required (here in the UK). Fly more kit comes with battery charging station for easy charging of all 3 batteries and remote from one power source! I couldn’t recommend enough to someone who wants to get into drones! Very beginner friendly, also capable of semi professional looking footage with the ability to shoot in pro (manual) mode. Lens cap can also be swapped out for ND and UV filters also sold by DJI or other brands to achieve a much slower shutter speed for low flying motion blur. App is phenomenally easy to use with great AI features. Simple one click edits produced some really nice clips. I have attached a one click edits below so you can see what it is capable of!

The DJI Mini 3 is an outstanding drone that balances portability, ease of use, and high-quality performance. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned drone pilot, this little powerhouse delivers beyond expectations.What I Love:✔️ Compact & Lightweight – Weighs under 250g, so no registration is required in most regions.
