Notes and rec­om­men­da­tions:

Below you will find the key infor­ma­tion of the DJI Mini 3 Pro, which will allow you to learn more about the drone and make the right choice.

Appearance

Weight category up to 250 grams

Despite such a pow­er­ful upgrade, the Mini 3 Pro still remains in the weight cat­e­go­ry up to 250 grams (using a stan­dard bat­tery), which is a key fac­tor for most active users, because this drone does not require a reg­is­tra­tion / reg­is­tra­tion process in most coun­tries and regions, and its fold­able and com­pact design makes it easy to take it with you on a hike, to the beach or on a spon­ta­neous week­end. The Mini 3 Pro is cur­rent­ly the best portable offer­ing in the UAV niche.

New and more efficient design

Unlike its pre­de­ces­sor, the Mini 3 Pro has received a com­plete­ly redesigned struc­ture and shape. And this is far from a use­less whim of the devel­op­er, as many might think. Here, each dis­tin­guish­ing fea­ture pro­vides spe­cif­ic ben­e­fits:

1. Longer Bat­tery Life: The new cal­cu­lat­ed shape and unique design made it pos­si­ble to equip the drone with a more effi­cient pow­er plant with larg­er pro­pellers, which not only improved the effi­cien­cy of the pro­pellers and, as a result, the drone itself, but also increased bat­tery life.
2. Wider range of visu­al­iza­tion of the sur­round­ing world: The new design allowed the drone to car­ry sen­sors with a larg­er field of view, which fur­ther increas­es the detec­tion range and dis­tance to obsta­cles. Thus, Mini 3 Pro pro­vides a more effec­tive visu­al per­cep­tion of the sur­round­ing world, increas­ing flex­i­bil­i­ty and safe­ty when fly­ing while avoid­ing obsta­cles.
3. Full ver­ti­cal shoot­ing and extend­ed range of work along the axes: The new design allowed the drone’s cam­era to be mount­ed in a gim­bal with a long work­ing range, result­ing in por­trait shots with­out the need for dig­i­tal crop­ping, which, as you know, invari­ably led to loss of qual­i­ty. Few­er gim­bal lim­its mean more shoot­ing angles and more cre­ative free­dom. Dur­ing high-speed flight, the angle of the drone also has less restric­tions on gim­bal and shoot­ing angle.

3‑way environmental imaging system

The DJI Mini 3 Pro is the first drone in the Mav­ic Mini series to fea­ture a sen­sor-based obsta­cle detec­tion and avoid­ance sys­tem. Equipped with front, rear, and bot­tom envi­ron­men­tal sen­sors in an all-new, engi­neered drone design, the sys­tem offers the user a wider detec­tion range and improved oper­a­tional safe­ty com­pared to pre­vi­ous full-sized DJI mod­els, as well as few com­peti­tors such as the light­weight Autel EVO. Nano and full size Autel EVO Lite/Autel EVO 2.

Safety

As not­ed above, the Mini 3 Pro is the first drone in the Mav­ic Mini series that received a sen­sor sys­tem for rec­og­niz­ing and fly­ing around obsta­cles. The sys­tem fea­tures front, rear, and bot­tom wide-angle envi­ron­men­tal sen­sors in an all-new, engi­neered design that deliv­ers a wider detec­tion range and safer oper­a­tion than oth­er full-sized DJI mod­els. How­ev­er, this is not all! With the advent of the sen­sor sys­tem, the devel­op­er also added to the over­all safe­ty pack­age an advanced fourth-gen­er­a­tion pilot assis­tance sys­tem APAS 4.0, which, before the advent of the Mini 3 Pro, was the hall­mark of DJI drones from the pre­mi­um niche.

APAS 4.0

Advanced Pilot Assis­tance Sys­tems 4.0 (APAS 4.0) is a fourth-gen­er­a­tion advanced pilot assis­tance sys­tem that uses improved algo­rithms com­pared to pre­vi­ous sys­tems (today there are five gen­er­a­tions), allow­ing the Mini 3 Pro to more active­ly avoid obsta­cles in more com­plex sce­nar­ios and at high speeds. In oth­er words, the sys­tem is designed to elim­i­nate any col­li­sion with obsta­cles (dur­ing man­u­al pilot­ing), which you sud­den­ly for some rea­son did not notice. Even if you keep point­ing the drone at an obsta­cle, the sys­tem will even­tu­al­ly change its course on its own to a safe tra­jec­to­ry.

APAS 4.0 example

Intelligent flight battery

The next dis­tin­guish­ing fea­ture of the Mini 3 Pro was its intel­li­gent flight bat­tery, and to be pre­cise, there are two of them: the stan­dard Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery and the more capa­cious, and there­fore more effi­cient, Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery Plus. With­out delv­ing into the details of the spec­i­fi­ca­tions of both bat­ter­ies, we note that the main dif­fer­ences are their weight, pro­vid­ed auton­o­my and avail­abil­i­ty:

1. Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery: stan­dard flight bat­tery includ­ed in all avail­able con­fig­u­ra­tions. Pro­vides a max­i­mum lev­el flight time of 34 min­utes (mea­sured in calm at a con­stant speed of 21.6 km/h). The flight weight of a drone with such a bat­tery will be 245 grams, which in some coun­tries exempts the own­er from the manda­to­ry reg­is­tra­tion / reg­is­tra­tion pro­ce­dure.
2. Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery Plus: a more effi­cient flight bat­tery sold by the devel­op­er as an addi­tion­al acces­so­ry (pur­chased sep­a­rate­ly). Not avail­able in all coun­tries. The devel­op­er has not yet announced the list of these coun­tries. Pro­vides a max­i­mum lev­el flight time of 47 min­utes (mea­sured in calm at a con­stant speed of 21.6 km/h). The flight weight of a drone with such a bat­tery will be 286 grams, which in a num­ber of coun­tries requires the own­er to car­ry out a manda­to­ry reg­is­tra­tion / reg­is­tra­tion pro­ce­dure. Before use, we rec­om­mend that you famil­iar­ize your­self in advance with the cur­rent leg­is­la­tion of the coun­try where you are or are going to vis­it.

flight test

Flight test DJI Mini 3 Pro at max. auton­o­my in alti­tude hold mode with con­ven­tion­al bat­tery and bat­tery Plus. Spec­i­fi­ca­tion max. hov­er­ing flight time is: 30 min­utes (stan­dard bat­tery) / 40 min­utes (plus bat­tery):

Camera

The updat­ed video sys­tem is respon­si­ble for the pho­to / video record­ing of the Mini 3 Pro, which is based on a 48MP 4K cam­era built on a 1 / 1.3‑inch CMOS matrix with a pix­el size of 2.4 microns; with built-in Bay­er col­or fil­ter array. An f/1.7 aper­ture lens (For com­par­i­son: Mini 2 pre­de­ces­sor cam­era spec­i­fi­ca­tion).

The devel­op­er also high­lights the pres­ence of tech­nolo­gies such as Dual Native ISO and High Dynam­ic Range Imag­ing (HDR or high dynam­ic range tech­nol­o­gy). The inher­ent poten­tial of the sys­tem is designed to pro­vide the best shoot­ing qual­i­ty in a vari­ety of light­ing con­di­tions. Max. video mode: 4K HDR: 3840 × 2160 at 30 fps; 4K: 3840 × 2160 at 60 fps. Max. pho­to mode: 48MP: 8064 × 6048 (includ­ing RAW for­mat); 12MP: 4032 × 3024 (includ­ing RAW for­mat). Slow-Motion Mode: 1080P@120fps.

Shooting quality

An exam­ple of DJI Mini 3 Pro image qual­i­ty with­out post-pro­cess­ing:

Hyperlapse/Timelapse

The pre-installed pack­age of options on the Mini 3 Pro includes a time-test­ed shoot­ing mode that allows the user to pro­fes­sion­al­ly speed up time with just a few taps. Cap­ture mov­ing vehi­cles or swirling clouds and add dra­ma to your videos, just like film pros do.

True Vertical Shooting

As not­ed above, this func­tion is one of the main fea­tures of this mod­el. Thanks to a redesigned gim­bal, the Mini 3 Pro can take a 90-degree ver­ti­cal posi­tion with a sin­gle tap, allow­ing you to quick­ly switch between land­scape and por­trait shoot­ing. From which it fol­lows that the user will no longer have to com­pro­mise on image qual­i­ty. The new fea­ture allows you to take detailed shots ready for instant shar­ing on social net­works such as Tik­Tok and Insta­gram).

Video

4x digital zoom

If desired, the poten­tial of the video sys­tem allows you to use a four­fold dig­i­tal zoom. In par­tic­u­lar, zoom­ing works in the fol­low­ing modes:

• In 4K mode: 2x mag­ni­fi­ca­tion
• In 2.7K mode: 3x mag­ni­fi­ca­tion
• In FHD mode: 4x mag­ni­fi­ca­tion.

panoramic shooting

The Mini 3 Pro’s arse­nal of shoot­ing modes also includes a panoram­ic shoot­ing mode, which in turn is divid­ed into four ver­sions: Wide-angle / 180-degree / Ver­ti­cal / Spher­i­cal.

10-bit D‑Cinelike

The pres­ence of this option will be more appre­ci­at­ed by advanced users. With a recent firmware update (v01.00.0100 dat­ed May 17, 2022), the Mini 3 Pro video sys­tem now allows you to shoot 10-bit video in D‑Cinelike Col­or mode, which pro­vides more visu­al infor­ma­tion, offer­ing the advanced user rich­er col­or options and more edit­ing flex­i­bil­i­ty. . In com­par­i­son, the pre­vi­ous­ly avail­able 8‑bit D‑Cinelike pro­file pro­vid­ed access to 16.7 mil­lion col­ors, upgrad­ing to 10-bit pro­vid­ed access to an incred­i­ble 1.07 bil­lion col­ors!

Shooting quality

An exam­ple of an edit­ed video imple­ment­ed using a 10-bit D‑Cinelike pro­file:

Dual Native ISO

The Mini 3 Pro cam­era sys­tem fea­tures advanced Dual Native ISO tech­nol­o­gy. It implies the pres­ence of two image pro­cess­ing cir­cuits: one oper­ates at low sen­si­tiv­i­ty (for exam­ple, up to ISO 800), and when pass­ing through this thresh­old, the cam­era sys­tem auto­mat­i­cal­ly switch­es to the sec­ond, which at the out­put allows you to change / increase the pho­to­sen­si­tiv­i­ty not only by increas­ing the elec­tri­cal volt­age on the matrix, but also due to fun­da­men­tal­ly dif­fer­ent approach­es to pro­cess­ing. In pho­tog­ra­phy, this tech­nol­o­gy is not new, many mod­ern cam­eras have it in their arse­nal, but the mechan­ics of the process itself are not dis­closed by the devel­op­ers.

DJI O3

Unlike its pre­de­ces­sor, the Mini 3 Pro fea­tures the pre-top DJI O3 (or DJI Ocu­Sync 3.0) video trans­mis­sion sys­tem, pro­vid­ing ultra-smooth, clear and reli­able FHD video link up to 12 km away. Just like pre­vi­ous gen­er­a­tions of Ocu­Sync, the O3 sys­tem oper­ates in two 2.4/5.8GHz fre­quen­cy bands and is able to auto­mat­i­cal­ly switch between chan­nels based on their con­ges­tion, which con­tributes to more con­fi­dent pilot­ing even in dif­fi­cult envi­ron­men­tal con­di­tions. The devel­op­er notes the fol­low­ing advan­tages of the sys­tem:

Connection quality

Ocu­Sync 3.0 pro­vides a high lev­el of data trans­fer sta­bil­i­ty with low­er video laten­cy:

• Strong inter­fer­ence: megac­i­ties (about 1.5 — 3 km)
• Medi­um inter­fer­ence: sub­ur­ban areas (about 3 — 7 km)
• Weak inter­fer­ence: open land­scapes (about 7 — 12 km)

High speed FHD transmission

Thanks to the third-gen­er­a­tion Ocu­Sync video trans­mis­sion sys­tem, the Mini 3 Pro is capa­ble of trans­mit­ting live video in 1080p at 30 fps. This means that the cam­era image is dis­played with spec­i­fi­ca­tions close to what the cam­era actu­al­ly records, result­ing in con­fi­dent pilot­ing even in dif­fi­cult envi­ron­men­tal con­di­tions. Wires, branch­es, all this will not go unno­ticed by the pilot.

Auto flight and shooting modes

For the first time in the light­weight Mav­ic Mini series, the soft­ware upgrade pack­age includes top-of-the-line intel­li­gent flight and shoot­ing modes such as Focus­Track and Mas­ter­Shots, allow­ing every­one, regard­less of skill lev­el, to feel like a cin­e­mat­ic pro. Well, this pack­age clos­es with a full set of already time-test­ed Quick­Shots auto modes. Here are the details for each set of smart options:

FocusTrack

Focus­Track — offers a choice of three cre­ative ways to track the sub­ject for shoot­ing: Active­Track 4.0, Spot­light 2.0 and Point of Inter­est 3.0 — three pow­er­ful tools for cre­at­ing unique con­tent sto­ries.

Master Shots

Mas­ter­Shots is a real find for any novice aer­i­al pho­tog­ra­ph­er. Sim­ply select your sub­ject and the Mini 3 Pro will per­form a sequence of pro­fes­sion­al maneu­vers, fol­lowed by a short cin­e­mat­ic video. There’s a good rea­son this option is the favorite of all DJI drone fans.

Unlike Quick­Shots, MS allows you to shoot in one tap in auto­mat­ic mode not one of the six pos­si­ble flight and shoot­ing sce­nar­ios, but ten dif­fer­ent sce­nar­ios at once, keep­ing the object for shoot­ing in the cen­ter of the frame, and upon com­ple­tion of the func­tion, a short cin­e­mat­ic video will be cre­at­ed.

Mas­ter­Shots includes three themed pre­sets:

Portrait

Proximity

Landscape

Quickshots

The hall­mark of DJI fold­able drones is auto­mat­ic flight modes and Quick­Shots shoot­ing. Each of the six avail­able modes allows the user to record a short pro­fes­sion­al-lev­el video in a few taps, which lat­er can also be eas­i­ly shared on social net­works. net­works. Whether you are a begin­ner or an advanced user, the DJI Fly app will help you achieve impres­sive results, com­plete with sound­tracks and fil­ters.

Mob. Appendix

For max­i­mum con­ve­nience of inter­ac­tion with the Mini 3 Pro, the devel­op­er, as before, offers the sim­plest and most intu­itive mobile appli­ca­tion for use — DJI Fly, thanks to which, in addi­tion to con­trol­ling the drone and cam­era set­tings, the soft­ware allows you to edit and share cap­tured con­tent with the whole world in a few taps. To down­load the DJI Fly app, vis­it the offi­cial down­load page.

High Speed ​​Quick Transfer

For the fastest pos­si­ble inter­ac­tion with the cap­tured con­tent, the improved High-Speed ​​Quick­Trans­fer func­tion is avail­able to the user, which allows you to quick­ly inter­act with the cap­tured pho­to / video files. When the air­craft is close to your smart­phone, the DJI Fly app will auto­mat­i­cal­ly rec­og­nize and con­nect to the air­craft via Wi-Fi.

The DJI Mini 3 Pro’s High-Speed ​​Quick­Trans­fer fea­ture sup­ports fast pho­to and video trans­fer at up to 25MB/s (com­pared to the Mini 2’s 20MB/s). In oth­er words, after cap­tur­ing your best shot/video from the drone, you can quick­ly trans­fer it to your smart­phone, edit it, apply fil­ters and music offered by the DJI Fly app, and then share it with the whole world.

DJI Mini 3 Pro is a com­plete­ly redesigned entry-lev­el light­weight drone of the Mav­ic Mini series with an advanced retro­fit pack­age, imple­ment­ed not to replace its pre­de­ces­sor, but in addi­tion to it. Pri­mar­i­ly designed for a more demand­ing con­sumer who is look­ing for a high-tech portable solu­tion in the weight cat­e­go­ry “up to 250 grams”, the poten­tial of the video sys­tem of which allows high-qual­i­ty aer­i­al pho­tog­ra­phy, includ­ing the use of spe­cial tools that allow the user to sub­se­quent­ly car­ry out deep post-pro­cess­ing of the orig­i­nal pho­to / video files.

Tak­ing into account the lat­est soft­ware update (v01.00.0100 dat­ed May 17, 2022), we can say with con­fi­dence that the pre­sent­ed mod­el is a unique tech­no­log­i­cal solu­tion that meets all mod­ern hob­by trends in its niche. How­ev­er, it should be not­ed that the cur­rent “soft­ware damp­ness” of the prod­uct, as well as some iden­ti­fied nuances, do not yet allow us to ful­ly clas­si­fy it as a device that meets 100% of the declared func­tion­al­i­ty, which in gen­er­al is only a mat­ter of time.

The main dis­ad­van­tages for today include:

• Lack of declared HDR video mode (actu­al­ly it is 8‑bit SDR REC 709)
• Incor­rect oper­a­tion of the noise reduc­tion sys­tem at ISO 800 and above in 4K up to 30 fps
• Lack of man­u­al adjust­ment of sharp­ness, con­trast and sat­u­ra­tion
• Lack of flight mode “Tri­pod mode”

As you can see, all of the above dis­ad­van­tages are by and large rel­e­vant only for an advanced user. Accord­ing­ly, if you are a begin­ner and this is your first drone, then the DJI Mini 3 Pro is the best that con­sumer UAV devel­op­ers can offer today in their niche.

For those who are look­ing for a replace­ment for the Mini 2 pre­de­ces­sor, we would rec­om­mend turn­ing their atten­tion to a more “long-play­ing” and rare solu­tion in terms of man­u­fac­tura­bil­i­ty — AIR 2S. Yes, the drone goes beyond the weight lim­its “up to 250 grams”, but believe me, it’s worth it, besides, the price dif­fer­ence between A2S and Mini 3 Pro is about $240, and today you can reg­is­ter a drone with­out leav­ing your home.

That’s all we have, we real­ly hope that you did not waste your pre­cious time and were able to ulti­mate­ly make your best choice. Well, for those who, for var­i­ous rea­sons, could not decide, we rec­om­mend that you turn your atten­tion to our com­par­i­son tables, in which we have col­lect­ed all DJI mod­els side by side by key para­me­ters, as well as to the FAQ sec­tion below, where we have col­lect­ed all fre­quent­ly asked ques­tions about the Mini 3 Pro. We thank you for your atten­tion. Fly safe! Peace and good­ness to all!

FAQ

In this sec­tion, you will find answers to all ques­tions regard­ing such aspects as improved mod­el fea­tures, equip­ment, spec­i­fi­ca­tions, oper­a­tion and com­pat­i­bil­i­ty, in order to ulti­mate­ly help you bet­ter under­stand this prod­uct.

Product Improvements

Q. What improve­ments does the Mini 3 Pro have over pre­vi­ous DJI prod­ucts?

A. Com­pared to the DJI Mini 2 and Mav­ic Air 2, the DJI Mini 3 Pro fea­tures improved bat­tery life, new smart fea­tures, an improved video trans­mis­sion sys­tem, and a com­plete­ly redesigned imag­ing and visu­al per­cep­tion sys­tem that works in tan­dem with the pre-top assist sys­tem. pilot.

Name­ly: Still remain­ing in the “up to 250 grams” weight cat­e­go­ry, the DJI Mini 3 Pro cam­era received an enlarged 1/1.3‑inch matrix (a larg­er matrix means bet­ter shoot­ing qual­i­ty even in low light con­di­tions). The drone sup­ports three-direc­tion­al obsta­cle detec­tion and the pre-top pilot assis­tance sys­tem APAS 4.0 (Advanced Pilot Assis­tance Sys­tems). The bat­tery life of the DJI Mini 3 Pro has been increased to 34 min­utes (when run­ning on a stan­dard bat­tery; fly­ing weight of the air­craft is 245 grams) and up to 47 min­utes (when run­ning on a larg­er “Plus” bat­tery; fly­ing weight of the air­craft is 286 grams).

Mini 3 Pro sup­ports DJI O3 dig­i­tal video trans­mis­sion, pro­vid­ing sta­ble real-time video stream­ing at a dis­tance of up to 12 km (FCC mode) and up to 8 km (CE mode). The drone also sup­ports smart fea­tures such as Focus­Track, Mas­ter­Shots, Time­lapse, True Ver­ti­cal Shoot­ing, and enhanced High-Speed ​​Quick­Trans­fer file shar­ing.

Q. Why has the DJI Mini 3 Pro got a brand new look?

A. A com­plete over­haul of the drone’s appear­ance pro­vid­ed the intro­duc­tion of a num­ber of advan­tages, for exam­ple:

• The new shape and design allowed the drone to be equipped with a more pow­er­ful propul­sion sys­tem, cou­pled with larg­er pro­pellers, which at the out­put pro­vid­ed improved flight effi­cien­cy with less noise, and also allowed for an increase in bat­tery life of the device.
• The new design allowed the drone to car­ry sen­sors with a wide field of view, which made it pos­si­ble to expand the range of visu­al­iza­tion of the sur­round­ing world and the dis­tance to obsta­cles. In this way, DJI Mini 3 Pro pro­vides more effi­cient visu­al sens­ing capa­bil­i­ties, increas­ing flex­i­bil­i­ty and safe­ty dur­ing flight and obsta­cle avoid­ance.
• The new design allowed users to cap­ture por­trait shots with­out the need for dig­i­tal crop­ping, which ulti­mate­ly degrad­ed their qual­i­ty.
• The new design expand­ed the slave. range of the gim­bal, which pro­vid­ed more shoot­ing angles and addi­tion­al cre­ative free­dom at the exit. Dur­ing high-speed flight, the lean angle of the drone also lim­its gim­bal per­for­mance and shoot­ing angle less.

Q. Why are DJI Mini 3 Pro rear view sen­sors locat­ed on the top of the fuse­lage?

A. The DJI Mini 3 Pro uses a com­plete­ly new imag­ing sen­sor lay­out that effec­tive­ly solves the prob­lem of pro­peller obstruc­tion when fly­ing back­wards. This improves the detec­tion range and per­for­mance to pro­vide addi­tion­al secu­ri­ty for users.

Q. How much bet­ter is the DJI O3 video trans­mis­sion sys­tem than Ocu­Sync 2.0?

A. The DJI O3 Video Stream­ing Sys­tem uses a brand new solu­tion and upgrad­ed dual anten­nas to pro­vide FHD video trans­mis­sion up to 12 km (in FCC mode and in a noisy area). Addi­tion­al anti-inter­fer­ence capa­bil­i­ties, which great­ly improves the sta­bil­i­ty of video stream trans­mis­sion in met­ro­pol­i­tan areas and oth­er dif­fi­cult con­di­tions.

Q. How has the High-Speed ​​Quick­Trans­fer func­tion of the DJI Mini 3 Pro been improved?

A. The DJI Mini 3 Pro’s high-speed Quick­Trans­fer fea­ture sup­ports fast pho­to and video trans­fer at speeds up to 25 Mbps (vs. 20 Mbps for the Mini 2). The Mini 3 Pro also auto­mat­i­cal­ly selects the fastest data trans­fer solu­tion accord­ing to the cur­rent wire­less envi­ron­ment.

Those. peculiarities

Q. Is the DJI Mini 3 Pro water­proof?

Oh no.

Q. What is the wind resis­tance of the DJI Mini 3 Pro?

A. DJI Mini 3 Pro has a max­i­mum wind speed resis­tance of 10.7 m/s (Lev­el 5). Note: In strong winds, due to the small weight of the drone, a slight vibra­tion may occur. Pow­er­ful thrust ensures the drone will hov­er sta­bly or safe­ly return to its take-off loca­tion. The Mini 3 Pro sys­tem auto­mat­i­cal­ly con­trols the gim­bal to keep your footage sta­ble at all times and elim­i­nate the neg­a­tive effects of wind.

Q. Does the DJI Mini 3 Pro sup­port man­u­al mode for tak­ing pho­tos and videos?

Oh yeah. In the DJI Fly app, you can man­u­al­ly adjust cam­era set­tings such as shut­ter speed, ISO, and white bal­ance.

Q. Which video res­o­lu­tion of the DJI Mini 3 Pro pro­vides the best image qual­i­ty?

A. When record­ing at 4K/30fps, DJI Mini 3 Pro can pro­vide opti­mal video qual­i­ty in terms of both dynam­ic range and image detail. If you need smoother footage, you can set the frame rate to 48/50/60 fps. The dynam­ic range of these frame rates will decrease rel­a­tive­ly.

Q. What is the max­i­mum flight alti­tude of the DJI Mini 3 Pro?

A. For safe­ty rea­sons, the max­i­mum flight alti­tude of the drone is 500 meters. Due to local laws, the max­i­mum flight alti­tude may vary by coun­try or region. Before fly­ing, always read and fol­low local laws and reg­u­la­tions. Remem­ber, safe­ty is above all!

Q. How far can the DJI Mini 3 Pro fly?

A. Accord­ing to the spec­i­fi­ca­tion, the max­i­mum flight range of the drone is:

• 18 km (in FCC mode; with Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery; mea­sured while fly­ing at 43.2 km/h in calm weath­er);
• 25 km (in FCC mode; with Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery Plus, mea­sured while fly­ing at 43.2 km/h in calm weath­er).

Note: The Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery Plus is not avail­able in all coun­tries. When installing such a bat­tery, the flight weight of the drone will be 286 grams.

Q. What is the max. DJI Mini 3 Pro lev­el flight speed?

A. Max­i­mum speed (above sea lev­el, no wind): 57.6 km/h (Sport mode); 36 km/h (Nor­mal mode); 21.6 km/h (Cine mode).

Q. How long does it take to charge the DJI Mini 3 Pro drone bat­tery?

A. Stan­dard Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery: 64 min­utes (with DJI 30W charg­er); Extend­ed Bat­tery “Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery Plus”: 101 min­utes (with DJI 30W charg­er). Note: The Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery Plus is not avail­able in all coun­tries. When installing such a bat­tery, the flight weight of the drone will be 286 grams.

Differences

Q. What is the dif­fer­ence between DJI Mini 3 Pro (No RC), DJI Mini 3 Pro and DJI Mini 3 Pro (DJI RC) kits?

A. Kits vary:

• DJI Mini 3 Pro (No RC) Bun­dle: Includes drone only, stan­dard Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery, 2 × spare pro­pellers (1CW/1CCW), spare prop hard­ware kit, USB‑C ⇔ USB‑C PD cable and screw­driv­er. This kit is suit­able for those users who, for exam­ple, lost the drone for var­i­ous rea­sons, and in order not to buy the whole kit, they are offered this kind of sim­pli­fied kit.
• DJI Mini 3 Pro Bun­dle: includes drone, Stan­dard Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery, Stan­dard DJI RC-N1 Remote Con­troller, 2× Spare Pro­pellers (1CW/1CCW), Spare Blade Mount Kit, 3× RC Cable: USB‑C/Lightning /Mi­cro-USB, USB‑C ⇔ USB‑C PD cable and screw­driv­er. Ide­al for begin­ners on a bud­get.
• DJI Mini 3 Pro (DJI RC) Bun­dle: includes drone, stan­dard Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery, new DJI RC mul­ti­func­tion con­troller with built-in dis­play, 2 × spare pro­pellers (1CW/1CCW), spare blade mount­ing kit, USB‑C ⇔ USB‑C PD cable and screw­driv­er . This top-of-the-line kit fea­tures the new DJI RC con­trol hard­ware with a built-in 5.5‑inch 700-nit FHD dis­play for improved vis­i­bil­i­ty even in direct sun­light. It weighs less than the stan­dard DJI RC-N1 remote con­trol (includ­ing the paired smartphone/tablet) and gains in size, mak­ing it more portable.

DJI RC sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduces drone launch time as it elim­i­nates the series of steps required to con­nect to the air­craft when using a stan­dard remote con­trol and a smartphone/tablet. The DJI Fly app is pre-installed, so the video stream will not be inter­rupt­ed by phone calls, text mes­sages, and noti­fi­ca­tions dur­ing the flight. This con­fig­u­ra­tion is suit­able for those users who are demand­ing on start­up time, porta­bil­i­ty and video stream dis­play qual­i­ty, as well as for those who, for var­i­ous rea­sons, do not want to use their smart­phone / tablet.

Q. What is the dif­fer­ence between the “More Kit” and “Fly More Kit Plus” retro­fit kits?

A. As you can see from the table above, the main dif­fer­ence between the kits is the intel­li­gent flight bat­ter­ies “Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery” and “Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery Plus” includ­ed in them, which in turn dif­fer in capac­i­ty and, accord­ing­ly, the flight dura­tion pro­vid­ed, where: a stan­dard bat­tery pro­vides — 34 min­utes of flight time; Bat­tery Plus — 47 min­utes.

Which means that com­pared to the bat­tery in the Fly More Kit, the bat­tery in the Fly More Kit Plus offers more auton­o­my, which will allow you to say good­bye to low bat­tery wor­ries and enjoy fly­ing and shoot­ing. How­ev­er, the lat­ter has one sig­nif­i­cant draw­back — its weight, which, cou­pled with the weight of the drone, takes the Mini 3 Pro out of the “up to 250 grams” weight cat­e­go­ry, which in dif­fer­ent coun­tries can impose oblig­a­tions on the own­er of the drone asso­ci­at­ed with reg­is­ter­ing / reg­is­ter­ing it.

Also, each of the retro­fit kits includes the so-called charg­ing hub or “Two-Way Charg­ing Hub”, which is pri­mar­i­ly designed to charge in sequen­tial mode up to three drone bat­ter­ies and a remote con­trol. It can also act as a Power­Bank to charge var­i­ous USB devices such as smartphones/tablets etc. In addi­tion, it can store bat­ter­ies for easy trans­porta­tion.

It is rec­om­mend­ed to use in tan­dem with the DJI 30W USB‑C Pow­er Bank, as it can sig­nif­i­cant­ly speed up the charg­ing process. For exam­ple, you can ful­ly charge three DJI Mini 3 Pro Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­ter­ies in 3 hours or three Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­ter­ies Plus in 4 hours.

Note! The Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery Plus is only avail­able in cer­tain coun­tries. When installed, the total weight of the drone will be 286 grams, which in dif­fer­ent coun­tries may impose oblig­a­tions on the own­er of the drone asso­ci­at­ed with its reg­is­tra­tion / reg­is­tra­tion.

Compatibility

Q. Can oth­er USB‑C charg­ers be used to charge the DJI Mini 3 Pro bat­tery?

Oh yeah. For an effi­cient charg­ing process, the devel­op­er rec­om­mends using the DJI 30W USB‑C Charg­er or oth­er USB Pow­er Deliv­ery (USB PD) charg­ers.

B. What extra. Can DJI Mini 2 acces­sories be used with DJI Mini 3 Pro?

A. The DJI Mini 3 Pro is com­pat­i­ble with the DJI RC-N1 Remote Con­troller and relat­ed acces­sories, as well as the DJI 18W USB Charg­er. Oth­er DJI Mini 2 acces­sories are not com­pat­i­ble with DJI Mini 3 Pro.

Q. What remote con­trols are com­pat­i­ble with the DJI Mini 3 Pro?

A. The DJI Mini 3 Pro cur­rent­ly sup­ports two remote con­trollers, the DJI RC-N1 Remote Con­troller and the DJI RC.

Q. Does DJI Mini 3 Pro sup­port any DJI FPV gog­gles or DJI Motion con­troller?

Oh no.

Q. Which SD card is suit­able for DJI Mini 3 Pro?

A. DJI Mini 3Pro sup­ports microSD cards; UHS‑I Speed ​​Class 3 or high­er; capac­i­ty up to 512GB. Note! Today, a very large num­ber of fake / low-qual­i­ty MicroS­Ds are being sold on the mar­ket. To avoid prob­lems when oper­at­ing the drone, it is strong­ly rec­om­mend­ed that you pur­chase mem­o­ry cards only from trust­ed sell­ers! The devel­op­er rec­om­mends the fol­low­ing mem­o­ry cards for use:

• San­Disk Extreme 64GB V30 A1 microS­DXC
• San­Disk Extreme 128GB V30 A2 microS­DXC
• San­Disk Extreme 256GB V30 A2 microS­DXC

• Sam­sung EVO Plus 512 GB microS­DXC

Exploitation

Q. Before using the DJI Mini 3 Pro, what app do I need to install?

A. The DJI Mini 3 Pro can only be used with the DJI Fly app. To down­load the DJI Fly app, vis­it the offi­cial down­load page. If you are using a con­troller with a built-in DJI RC dis­play, then down­load­ing the mobile appli­ca­tion is not required, as it is already installed by the devel­op­er.

Q. How to acti­vate and start using DJI Mini 3 Pro after unbox­ing?

A. To begin with, to ensure the safe­ty of trans­porta­tion, DJI Mini 3 Pro Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­ter­ies are put into sleep mode by the devel­op­er. To acti­vate the bat­tery, you need to car­ry out the charg­ing process (rec­om­mend­ed charg­er: DJI 30W USB‑C Charg­er or Two-Way Charg­ing Hub or any 30-watt USB‑C charg­er often used to charge all kinds of smart devices). Use the USB‑C ⇔ USB‑C PD cable pro­vid­ed to con­nect the charg­er to the aircraft/remote con­troller.

If you are using a stan­dard charg­er to charge the drone’s bat­tery (DJI 30W USB‑C Charg­er or any 30W USB‑C charg­er), install the bat­tery in the drone itself. Using the USB‑C ⇔ USB‑C PD cable, con­nect the charg­er to the drone.

If you use the sep­a­rate­ly pur­chased Two-Way Charg­ing Hub for charg­ing (you can learn more about it in the “Addi­tion­al Acces­sories” sec­tion above), then the bat­ter­ies are installed in the hub itself. Its advan­tage is that it can sequen­tial­ly charge up to three bat­ter­ies, includ­ing the remote con­trol or any USB device such as a smart­phone or tablet. To ensure the most effi­cient charg­ing, the devel­op­er rec­om­mends using it in tan­dem with the DJI 30W USB‑C Charg­er.

The bat­tery built into the remote con­trol also needs to be charged (use the Two-Way Charg­ing Hub or any 15-watt (5V/3A) USB‑C charg­er to charge). The charg­ing process of the bat­ter­ies of both devices will be indi­cat­ed by a flash­ing green LED indi­ca­tion (four minia­ture LEDs on the top of the drone / remote con­trol). When the bat­ter­ies are charged, the bat­tery lev­el indi­ca­tor will turn off. After charg­ing and acti­vat­ing the Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery and charg­ing the remote con­troller bat­tery, install the bat­tery in the air­craft. Now every­thing is ready to turn on and acti­vate the devices.

Note! The acti­va­tion of the drone/remote con­trol is car­ried out once, and it takes quite a long time (the total dura­tion depends on the speed of the Inter­net and the per­for­mance of the smart­phone, if the drone is used in tan­dem with a stan­dard remote con­trol).

To suc­cess­ful­ly com­plete the acti­va­tion process, the drone and remote con­troller bat­ter­ies must be at least 75% charged. But it will be bet­ter if you car­ry out the first charge to 100%. While the bat­ter­ies are being charged, we strong­ly rec­om­mend that you ful­ly read the instruc­tion man­u­al. This approach will elim­i­nate all issues that will arise dur­ing oper­a­tion!

After you have ful­ly charged both the remote con­trol and drone bat­ter­ies, fol­low the steps below depend­ing on which remote con­trol comes with your drone (stan­dard DJI RC-N1 or top-end DJI RC).

If you have a standard DJI RC-N1 remote control:

1. If you haven’t already, install the DJI Fly app on your smart­phone (vis­it the offi­cial DJI page to down­load).
2. Place a smart­phone (con­nect­ed to the Inter­net) into the retractable remote con­trol hold­er. Con­nect the remote con­trol and your smart­phone with the includ­ed RC cable (there are three short cables includ­ed: USB‑C / Light­ning / Micro-USB; choose the one that match­es your smart­phone). One of them can be under the retractable smart­phone hold­er.
3. Remove two met­al sticks from the bot­tom end of the con­sole and install them in the left and right hinged part of the con­trol joy­sticks
4. Remove the cam­era and gim­bal trans­port pro­tec­tion. If it is not removed before turn­ing on the drone, then there is a high prob­a­bil­i­ty that the motors installed in the cam­era gim­bal will fail (because when the copter is turned on, its sys­tem per­forms a series of auto­mat­ic tests, which also includes the test of the cam­era sys­tem with the gim­bal). Repairs are expen­sive and are car­ried out exclu­sive­ly in the ser­vice cen­ter. There­fore, this item is extreme­ly impor­tant for exe­cu­tion dur­ing sub­se­quent oper­a­tion!
5. If you haven’t already done so, gen­tly hold the cam­era and drone’s gim­bal, and remove the ship­ping film from the cam­era lens.
6. Turn on the drone with the but­ton locat­ed at the top of it. It is worth not­ing here that this but­ton has two modes of oper­a­tion. A short sin­gle press on the but­ton acti­vates the indi­ca­tor of the cur­rent bat­tery charge. If you short press the pow­er but­ton and then press and hold it again for 2 sec­onds, the drone will turn on. The process of turn­ing off the drone is the same as turn­ing it on. In gen­er­al, this is how not only all DJI drones and con­trol pan­els turn on and off, but also many oth­er mod­ern UAVs. While the drone sys­tem is con­duct­ing a short auto­mat­ic self-test pro­ce­dure
7. Turn on the remote con­trol with the “I / O” but­ton locat­ed to the left of the right stick / joy­stick (do not for­get to unlock your smart­phone before doing this). A short sin­gle press of the but­ton acti­vates the indi­ca­tor of the cur­rent charge of the built-in bat­tery of the remote con­trol. If you briefly press the pow­er but­ton, and then press and hold it again for 2 sec­onds, the remote will turn on. Often, when you turn on the remote con­trol, the DJI Fly mobile app will auto­mat­i­cal­ly launch. If this does not hap­pen, then start the appli­ca­tion man­u­al­ly. Also, the appli­ca­tion may request to pro­vide it with a num­ber of per­mis­sions, give the go-ahead for every­thing that it needs to work cor­rect­ly (usu­al­ly this is access to the pho­to gallery).
8. Fol­low the instruc­tions in the app to acti­vate your DJI Mini 3 Pro. Note! After launch­ing the appli­ca­tion, the sys­tem may offer to update the firmware of the drone, the remote con­trol, and even the intel­li­gent flight bat­tery. Start the soft­ware update process. Do not turn off the pow­er or exit the DJI Fly app dur­ing the update. The remote con­troller and the air­craft will reboot auto­mat­i­cal­ly dur­ing the update process, but don’t let that wor­ry you. When the update is com­plet­ed, the air­craft will auto­mat­i­cal­ly turn off and the remote con­troller will remain on.
9. Once the update is com­plete, turn the drone back on and fol­low the instruc­tions in the app. The readi­ness of the drone for flight will be indi­cat­ed by a real-time video broad­cast on the dis­play of a smart­phone con­nect­ed to the remote con­trol. Note! If sud­den­ly, for some rea­son, the firmware update failed, you should not pan­ic, just reboot the drone and remote con­troller and repeat the update pro­ce­dure again.

If you have a remote controller with a built-in DJI RC display:

1. First, remove the cam­era and gim­bal ship­ping pro­tec­tion. If it is not removed before turn­ing on the drone, then there is a high prob­a­bil­i­ty that the motors installed in the cam­era gim­bal will fail (because when the copter is turned on, its sys­tem per­forms a series of auto­mat­ic tests, which also includes the test of the cam­era sys­tem with the gim­bal). Repairs are expen­sive and are car­ried out exclu­sive­ly in the ser­vice cen­ter. There­fore, this item is extreme­ly impor­tant for exe­cu­tion dur­ing sub­se­quent oper­a­tion! Work out to auto­matic­i­ty the habit of remov­ing this pro­tec­tion first!
2. If you haven’t already done so, gen­tly hold the cam­era and drone’s gim­bal, and remove the ship­ping film from the cam­era lens.
3. Turn on the remote con­trol with the “I/O” but­ton locat­ed to the left of the right stick/joystick. A short sin­gle press of the but­ton acti­vates the indi­ca­tor of the cur­rent charge of the built-in bat­tery of the remote con­trol. If you briefly press the pow­er but­ton, and then press and hold it again for 2 sec­onds, the remote will turn on.
4. Fol­low the instruc­tions on the app to acti­vate your DJI RC. So, after the first turn on, the remote con­trol sys­tem will first prompt you to select the inter­face lan­guage, agree to the rules for using the prod­uct, select a coun­try, con­nect to a Wi-Fi point, set the date and time of the time zone, log in to an already cre­at­ed DJI account or cre­ate a new account that is required. to acti­vate the device. Then the “Acti­vate” icon will appear. Con­firm the action by tap­ping on this icon. Remote con­trol acti­va­tion com­plet­ed.
5. Next, the remote sys­tem will prompt you to join the prod­uct improve­ment pro­gram, you can agree / read the rules of the pro­gram or tap on the “not now” icon to return to this lat­er.
6. Next, the sys­tem will launch a guide for fur­ther oper­a­tion of the DJI RC remote con­trol. Fol­low the instruc­tions on the remote dis­play.
7. Now turn on the drone. After that, both devices will auto­mat­i­cal­ly con­nect. Fol­low the instruc­tions on the app to acti­vate the drone. After launch­ing the DJI Fly app, the sys­tem may prompt you to update the firmware of the drone, the con­troller, and even the intel­li­gent flight bat­tery. Start the soft­ware update process. Do not turn off the pow­er or exit the DJI Fly app dur­ing the update. The remote con­troller and the air­craft will reboot auto­mat­i­cal­ly dur­ing the update process, but don’t let that wor­ry you. When the update is com­plet­ed, the air­craft will auto­mat­i­cal­ly turn off and the remote con­troller will remain on.
8. Once the update is com­plete, turn the drone back on and fol­low the instruc­tions in the app. The readi­ness of the drone to fly will be indi­cat­ed by a real-time video broad­cast on the built-in dis­play of the remote con­trol. Note! If sud­den­ly, for some rea­son, the firmware update failed, you should not pan­ic, just reboot the drone and remote con­troller and repeat the update pro­ce­dure again.

If you still have ques­tions about turn­ing on and acti­vat­ing the DJI Mini 3 Pro for the first time, we are attach­ing a visu­al video tuto­r­i­al from the devel­op­er with Russ­ian sub­ti­tles, which demon­strates: unpack­ing, prepa­ra­tion for acti­va­tion and the process of acti­vat­ing both remotes, updat­ing firmware, con­nect­ing remotes to the drone, pre-flight prepa­ra­tion of the drone, the basics of the first flight and con­trol of the drone, pho­to / video shoot­ing, acti­va­tion of the auto return to home mode (Smart RTH or Smart Return To Home), safe­ty basics, rules for stor­ing the drone, steps to pair the remote con­trol (rel­e­vant for those users who pur­chased the drone sep­a­rate­ly from the remote), meth­ods of trans­fer­ring cap­tured files and rules for installing / replac­ing pro­pellers.

Q. How can I share footage cap­tured by the DJI Mini 3 Pro using the DJI RC?

A. Cur­rent­ly, DJI RC only sup­ports a quick pre­view of footage after shoot­ing, and does not sup­port upload­ing, edit­ing, or shar­ing source footage.

In this case, the devel­op­er rec­om­mends installing the DJI Fly app on your smart­phone and using the Quick­Trans­fer fea­ture. With this fea­ture, you can con­nect the DJI Mini 3 Pro direct­ly to your smart­phone to quick­ly trans­fer footage to your smart­phone, then man­age and share your footage through the DJI Fly app.

Q. Why does the DJI RC require a microSD card?

A. Due to the lim­it­ed inter­nal mem­o­ry of the DJI RC, it is rec­om­mend­ed to use an exter­nal microSD card to store the record­ing cache and use the screen record­ing func­tion.

Q. Does DJI RC sup­port fast charg­ing?

Oh yeah. DJI RC sup­ports up to 15W (5V/3A) charg­ing pow­er.

Q. What fac­tors can cause the firmware update to fail?

A. Soft­ware update fail­ure can be caused by the fol­low­ing fac­tors:

1. When the bat­tery lev­el of the drone or remote con­troller is below 20%, it will cause the update to fail.
2. Turn­ing off the DJI Mini 3 Pro or remote con­troller dur­ing an update. In this case, restart the DJI Mini 3 Pro and the remote con­troller and run the update again.
3. Inter­net was dis­con­nect­ed dur­ing firmware down­load.
4. If the inter­face of your smart­phone switch­es to oth­er appli­ca­tions dur­ing the firmware down­load, it may cause the update to fail.

Note! Dur­ing the update process, the remote con­troller and the air­craft will reboot sev­er­al times. When the update is com­plet­ed, the air­craft will auto­mat­i­cal­ly turn off and the remote con­troller will remain on.

Q. Does the DJI Mini 3 Pro sup­port Fast Charge?

Oh yeah. DJI Mini 3 Pro sup­ports Pow­er Deliv­ery (PD) fast charg­ing.

Q. How do I update the DJI Mini 3 Pro firmware?

A. Con­nect the drone to the remote con­troller. The DJI Fly app will send you a firmware update request (if a new firmware is avail­able). Fol­low the instruc­tions to update the firmware of the air­craft, remote con­troller, bat­tery and oth­er mod­ules.

Q. How often do I need to replace the pro­pellers on the DJI Mini 3 Pro?

A. Pro­pellers should be inspect­ed before each flight for cracks, wear, warp­ing, and destruc­tion of the mount­ing screw loca­tion. If any of these con­di­tions are present, the pro­pellers should be replaced. Note! The DJI Mini 3 Pro Fly More Kit and Fly More Kit Plus come with an extra set of pro­pellers. You can also pur­chase pro­pellers sep­a­rate­ly. The DJI Mini 3 Pro Fly More Kit Plus is not avail­able in all coun­tries, so check with your retail­er for avail­abil­i­ty in your coun­try.

Q. What does DJI Care Refresh offer?

A. DJI Care Refresh is a com­pre­hen­sive pro­tec­tion plan for DJI prod­ucts that is also avail­able for the DJI Mini 3 Pro. Acci­den­tal dam­age is cov­ered by the replace­ment ser­vice, includ­ing any dam­age result­ing from an acci­dent, col­li­sion and water dam­age. For a small addi­tion­al fee, you can get a replace­ment for a dam­aged prod­uct in the event of an acci­dent. Note! The main con­di­tion is the fact that you need to pro­vide a broken/faulty drone for a replace­ment. If your drone flew away or was not found after the acci­dent, then this ser­vice will not work! The devel­op­er also notes that DJI Care Refresh is not avail­able in all coun­tries.

So, two insur­ance plans are avail­able for pur­chase:

1. DJI Care Refresh (1 Year Plan): includes up to 2 replace­ments with­in 1 year. Price: $79 (price may dif­fer depend­ing on the coun­try where you buy the drone).
2. DJI Care Refresh (2 Year Plan): includes up to 3 replace­ments with­in 2 years and extends the orig­i­nal war­ran­ty to 2 years from date of pur­chase. Price: $125 (price may vary depend­ing on the coun­try where you buy the drone). DJI Care Refresh ser­vices also include incen­tives for safe flights dur­ing the insur­ance peri­od (mean­ing that if you do not use the replace­ment ser­vice, DJI will pro­vide you with a 1‑year war­ran­ty exten­sion as a reward) and free deliv­ery in the event of an insured event. Note! The user must decide in advance whether he will buy this ser­vice, because after unpack­ing and acti­vat­ing the drone and remote con­trol, you will have a lim­it­ed time to con­nect DJI Care Refresh, after which it will not be pos­si­ble to buy it.
