The DJI Mini 3 Pro represents an enormous leap in terms of features for the sub-250g section of the drone market. A 4K 60fps camera is accompanied by forward, backward, and downward vision sensors, tech previously reserved for DJI’s next product tier, the Air 2S, which weighs in at 595g.
The Mini 3 has an all-new form factor, which for those used to DJI products, offers no major surprises – it has the same folding leg design. That said, there is something lumpy about the shape from certain angles, no doubt because of the raised vision sensor mounts. This is especially apparent when the aircraft is in flight, as it sits at what looks an uncomfortable angle. On the other hand, the taller fuselage means the legs don’t seem to require opening in sequence, so setup is easier.
The new gimbal design, which allows the camera to be turned from horizontal to vertical shooting, also looks markedly different to predecessors and – sadly – marks a return to a fiddly plastic covering for transport.
Performance
While we only tested the standard battery, DJI will be offering a 47min ‘Intelligent Flight Battery Plus’ (3850mAh) and 34min ‘Intelligent Flight Battery (2453mAh).
