DJI, the world’s leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, has introduced DJI Mini 3, a compact, ultra-lightweight camera drone that is ready for adventure. At less than 249 grams, Mini 3 is portable to take anywhere and is exempt from most drone regulations in several parts of the world. Its 1/1.7-inch camera sensor films 4K HDR video and 12MP photos with True Vertical Shooting. With these features and more, DJI Mini 3 lets users capture any moment, so fly.
“DJI Mini 3 arrives as a welcome addition to our growing compact drone lineup,” said Ferdinand Wolf, Creative Director at DJI. “It follows in the footsteps of its sibling, Mini 3 Pro, and offers many of the same high-performance features as a worthy alternative option. We created Mini 3 to invite even more new users to take off for the first time, and we can’t wait to see the moments they create with it.”
Lightweight and Portable for Unlimited Takeoff
As the latest of the DJI Mini series, Mini 3 was specifically designed to weigh under 249 grams. This compact design makes DJI Mini 3 easy to take in a bag or pocket for the next adventure. It also satisfies drone regulations in many parts of the world, where sub-250g drones allow users to fly within regional compliance, without the need for an exam.
Vivid, Vertical Detail
DJI Mini 3 records in 4K/30fps in HDR with true-to-life colours, both day and night. A 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor and f/1.7 aperture allow greater image resolution, sharper depth of field, and lower image noise in even low lighting and high contrast, generating cleaner images. 4-in-1 pixel technology can create photos from 48MP to 12MP in size and individual pixels as large as 2.4 μm to improve low-light performance. Dual native ISO and chip-level HDR technology helps create incredibly clear images in little time, resulting in excellent results, even in images with high dynamic range such as large shadows. This excellent image quality means even more incredible results with True Vertical Shooting, rotating the camera 90 degrees to create content that is perfect for social media platforms.
Fly Longer, Smoother, Further
DJI Mini 3 comes with the standard Intelligent Flight Battery to provide a max flight time of up to 38 minutes. DJI O2 digital video transmission delivers a 720p/30fps live feed from up to 10 km away while using powerful anti-interference technology to deliver a reliable connection throughout the flight. With a wind resistance at up to 10.7 m/s, Mini 3 can hover steady and keep a stable image in various conditions.
Cinematic Shots in a Tap
DJI Mini 3 makes content creation a breeze with QuickShots, a suite of pre-programmed flight and filming paths to let anyone make beautiful footage in both landscape and vertical shooting. These include:
- Dronie: Aircraft flies back and up with the camera locked on the subject.
- Helix: Aircraft flies up and spirals around the subject.
- Rocket: Aircraft flies up with the camera facing down.
- Circle: Aircraft circles around the subject.
- Boomerang: Aircraft flies around the subject in an oval path, ascending as it flies away and descending as it returns.
Effortlessly Adept
DJI Mini 3 supports a bunch of intelligent functions to help users get started right away. Auto Takeoff helps users start their flight journey. The Return to Home (RTH) function includes Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH, instructing the aircraft to automatically return to its starting point in situations like a dropped signal or low battery. Mini 3 also combines GNSS with the downward vision system and the infrared sensing system to hover stably and accurately, so users can fly confidently.
