The Mini 3 Pro is the newest model in DJI's series of lightweight, sub-250g drones and the most exciting in the series so far. DJI seems poised to reset expectations for what consumers can expect in such a compact model.

The DJI Mini 3 Pro has a massive slate of new things. The vast majority of features though, we’ve seen on other drones. Like most companies, this is a feature cascade from previously higher-end units, down to their budget-focused DJI Mini series. However this time, it’s the Niagara Falls of feature cascades, with more new features than we’ve ever seen on a unit.
And even for those hand-me-down features, there’s also some legit new items. For example, the new DJI RC is brand new. Sure, it’s a lightweight version of the DJI RC Pro, but we’re talking a $1,000 USD DJI RC Pro being nearly matched by a $150 USD DJI RC. It’s astounding. In any case…
Here’s the complete list of what’s new, compared to the existing DJI Mini 2:
– Added Obstacle Avoidance Sensors – Added Rotating Gimbal for Vertical Photos/Video – Added Active Track 4.0 for follow-me situations – Added 4K/60, and HDR modes for 4K/30 and below – Added 1080p/120FPS – Added 48MP photos (including RAW photos) – Added gimbal tilt range up to 60° upwards (shooting above drone) – Added FocusShots (including POI and SpotLight) – Added MasterShots – Added QuickShot Asteroid (previously had other QuickShots) – Added D-Cinelike as an option – Added OcuSync 3.0 with claimed 12KM range in 1080p – Increased wind resistance speeds – Increased flight time to 34 mins (or 47 mins with Plus battery) – Added new DJI RC with built-in screen – Maintained sub-250g weight with base batteries
Now it’s worthwhile noting that the DJI Mini 3 has two different batteries:
– DJI Intelligent Flight Battery: 34 minutes of flight time – DJI Intelligent Flight Battery Plus: 47 minutes of flight time
The batteries are identical in size/shape/form factor, except the longer-lasting one is simply heavier, thus bringing the total aircraft size from 249g up to 289g. As a result, it goes behind some regulatory options in certain countries in terms of registration and licensing.
Thus, the higher-end battery isn’t sold in Europe, due to reasons that don’t really make a lot of sense. DJI says that’s because it’d push it beyond the 250g classification, and that they didn’t want consumer confusion. But that doesn’t really hold a lot of water, since in reality so would prop guards, for people that were using those. And for that matter, it’s no different than their DJI Air 2S or anything else. If someone wants to add weight, so be it. To be super clear: There’s absolutely nothing wrong with using the higher-end batteries in Europe, it’s just that DJI won’t sell you them here. Which is silly.
Key features
1. Under 250 grams:
The Mini 3 Pro is still under 250 grams. Is that a big deal? In certain EU countries, this lets you fly without a license.
In the US, a drone that is under 250 grams doesn’t need to be registered with the FAA. But if a drone has to be registered, it only costs $5 for ALL your drones (not for each drone). Whether you need a Part 107 license is not about the weight but whether you plan to use the drone commercially.
Another potential benefit in the US is that a drone under 250 grams can also fly over a crowded area by a licensed pilot. But this is true only if the drone has something to protect the people from lacerations which typically is understood to mean prop guards, and if you put prop guards on the Mini 3 Pro, you will exceed 250 grams.
2. 47-minute flight time (with Plus battery)
The Mini 3 Pro has an optional larger battery that will enable it to fly up to 47 minutes, compared to the standard battery with 34-minute flight time. Please note that using the larger capacity battery could increase the weight, putting it over 250 grams.
3. 1/1.3-inch 48mp 4K sensor
The Mini 3 Pro has a new 1/1.3-inch size sensor that can capture 48 mp photos and 4k 60fps video. All other factors being equal, a larger sensor will have better image quality. The Mini 3 Pro’s 1/1.3 inch sensor is about 69 sq. mm., compared to the 1/2.3 inch sensor of the Mini 2, which is about 30 sq. mm, so the Mini 3 Pro’s sensor is about twice as large as the Mini 2’s sensor. I am supposing we’ll see a 1-stop improvement in image quality, so shooting with the Mini 3 Pro at ISO 800 should be similar to the image quality of the Mini 2 at ISO 400.
4. Vertical orientation option
One of key features of the Mini 3 is that the camera can rotate to portrait orientation for social media. If you don’t care about social media, the vertical orientation could also be useful for panoramas. When shooting a 360 panorama, shots in vertical orientation can capture more of the zenith. There is no indication that Mini 3 Pro will do this automatically but it should be possible to do it manually.
5. Camera can tilt up 60 degrees
The Mini 3 Pro has a camera that can tilt up to 60 degrees, compared with around 20 degrees for the Mini 2 in extended mode or 35 degrees for the Mavic 3. This can be useful for taking shots with an upward angle. It might also be usable for reducing the blind spot in the zenith (the top) of the 360 photo.
6. Tri-Directional obstacle avoidance
Mini 3 Pro has obstacle avoidance in front, below and to its rear and has APAS 4.0, which can detect objects along the Mini 3’s flight path.

With DJI RC: When using DJI RC for the first time, connect to Wi-Fi or a smartphone hot spot to connect to the internet, and follow instructions in the app to activate DJI RC. After activating DJI RC, connect it with DJI Mini 3 Pro via the DJI Fly app. Follow instructions in the app to activate the aircraft.
No. Avoid contact with water during use as it may lead to damage of the device. If it rains during the flight, please return and land as soon as possible, and wait until the aircraft is fully dry inside and out before using again.
DJI Mini 3 Pro can only be used with the DJI Fly app. You can download the DJI Fly app from the Downloads page on the DJI official website. Please check compatibility on the website. * If you are using DJI RC as the remote controller, it comes with the DJI Fly app pre-installed.
DJI Mini 3 Pro adopts a redesigned structure and form, bringing the following advantages: 1. Longer battery life at the same compact size: The new form and design allow the drone to carry larger propellers and improve the propulsion efficiency of the propellers and the aircraft, bringing longer battery life. 2. Broader environment sensing range: The new design enables the drone to carry sensors with a larger FOV, further increasing the sensing range and distance. DJI Mini 3 Pro thus provides more powerful visual sensing capabilities, improving flexibility and safety during flight and obstacle avoidance. 3. True Vertical Shooting and expanded axes: The new design allows users to get portrait shots without the need for digital cropping. Fewer gimbal limits mean more shooting angles and added creative freedom. During high-speed flight, the aircraft angle also has less restrictions on the gimbal and the shooting angle.
DJI Mini 3 Pro uses an all-new vision sensor layout that effectively addresses the problem of the sensors being covered by the propellers when flying backward. This improves the sensing range and performance to provide added safety for users.
The max wind speed resistance of DJI Mini 3 Pro is 10.7 m/s (Level 5). * Wind resistance is dependent upon propulsion. Under strong winds, due to the lightweight nature of the drone, slight vibration is expected. High-powered propulsion ensures the drone hovers stably or returns to home safely. DJI Mini 3 Pro automatically controls the gimbal to adjust slightly to ensure that the footage is always stable and not affected by the wind.
DJI Mini 3 Pro has no built-in fan, which can effectively reduce the power consumption of the drone and increase the battery life. Meanwhile, it uses the wind generated by the propellers to dissipate heat, ensuring good heat dissipation effects during the flight.
When DJI Mini 3 Pro stays in standby mode for a long time, its temperature may continuously rise. With a built-in temperature control system, the drone can detect the current temperature and decide whether to automatically power off to prevent overheat.
The common standby time periods of DJI Mini 3 Pro in the stationary state are as follows. If the time is exceeded, the drone may automatically power off to prevent overheat (tested in an indoor environment with an ambient temperature of 25℃).
When in standby mode on the ground: about 22 minutes
When updating firmware: about 19 minutes (sufficient for 3 times of upgrades)
When using QuickTransfer immediately after powering on: about 35 minutes
When using QuickTransfer after landing: about 35 minutes
Our DJI Mini 3 Pro has been designed in line with the current draft C0 standards which are due to be finalised in the future. We are currently conducting the certification test under these draft standards and, after being able to obtain the class identification label, will inform customers of how to certify their drone. At the present time, any drone under 250g is subject to the same rules and regulations regardless of whether or not it holds a class identification label, which is not yet available. Currently, all DJI drones can be used in the Limited Open Category with certain restrictions until 31 December 2023 and beyond.
DJI Mini 3 Pro has been designed in line with the current draft C0 class identification standards (drones below the weight of 250 grams) which are due to be finalised in the future. Regulators in Europe and other jurisdictions around the world (e.g. the US or Australia) have agreed that drones weighing less than 250 grams are not going to cause the same kind of damage as a heavier drone when involved in a crash or collision. Since they consider sub-250g drones to pose the lowest risks, they have made them subject to fewer restrictions and requirements than their heavier counterparts. The larger battery (Intelligent Flight Battery Plus) would add approx. 40 grams to the Maximum Take-Off Mass (MTOM) of the DJI Mini 3 Pro and place it into the draft C1 class identification standard which would pose more restrictions on the use of the drone. DJI would like to avoid this scenario for the Mini series of our portfolio in order to appeal to a wider consumer base.
Photo mode: In Single Shot mode, DJI Mini 3 Pro can recognize the scene and automatically enables HDR for better dynamic range. Video mode: When recording video at 30fps or lower, DJI Mini 3 Pro automatically enables HDR.
When recording at 4K/30fps, DJI Mini 3 Pro can deliver optimal footage quality that takes care of both dynamic range and image details. If you need smoother footage, you can set the frame rate to 48/50/60fps. The dynamic range of these frame rates will decrease relatively.
DJI Mini 3 Pro features the dual native ISO values of ISO 100 and ISO 800.
Photo mode and video mode (24/25/30fps): The sensor will algorithmically integrate the images gained by the two sets of analog amplifier circuits for a better dynamic range of actual imaging.
Video mode (48/50/60/120fps): When you set an ISO value below 800, the drone will use the low-gain analog amplifier circuit. When you set an ISO value above or equal to 800, the drone will use the high-gain analog amplifier circuit. When recording with a frame rate of 48/50/60/120fps, it is recommended to set the ISO value to 100 in strong lighting environments, or 800 in low-lit environments for better imaging effects.
DJI RC currently only supports quick preview of footage after shooting, and does not support original material download, editing, or sharing.
It is recommended to install the DJI Fly app on your smartphone and use the QuickTransfer feature. With this feature, you can connect DJI Mini 3 Pro directly with your smartphone to quickly transfer the footage to the latter, and then manage and share the footage through the DJI Fly app.
Due to the limited built-in storage space of DJI RC, it is recommended to use an external microSD card to store the recording cache and use the screen recording feature.
The DJI O3 Video Transmission System uses an all-new solution and upgrades dual antennas to four antennas to bring FHD video transmission at distances of up to 12 km (FCC compliant and with no obstructions). Additional anti-interference capabilities further improve transmission stability in cities and other complex environments.
The maximum flight altitude is 500 m for safety reasons. Due to local laws, the maximum flight altitude may vary in different countries and regions. Before flying, please always follow local laws and regulations.
Before each flight, it is necessary to check the propellers for cracks, wear, warp, corrosion, and loose screws. If any of these conditions are present, the propellers should be replaced. Follow the instructions in the user manual to replace the propellers. Use the included screwdriver to change the propellers. Please follow the instructions provided. Remove the two blades and screws from the motor, and replace with the new propellers and screws. Attach the marked propellers to the marked motors, and the unmarked propellers to the unmarked motors. Ensure that the propellers and motors are installed securely before each flight.
The DJI Mini 3 Pro Two-Way Charging Hub supports USB PD fast-charging protocols, and can charge up to three batteries in sequence. You can also use it for battery storage or as a power bank (storing at least one battery with ample power) to charge your mobile device or remote controller via the USB-A port.
Connect the aircraft with the remote controller. The DJI Fly app will send you a prompt for firmware updates (if new firmware is available). Follow the instructions to update the firmware of the aircraft, remote controller, battery, and other modules.
1. When the battery level of the aircraft or the remote controller is lower than 20%, it will lead to update failure. 2. Powering off DJI Mini 3 Pro or the remote controller during an update. If this happens, restart DJI Mini 3 Pro and the remote controller, and begin the update again. 3. The internet was disconnected during the firmware download. 4. During the firmware download, if your smartphone interface is switched to other applications, it may lead to update failure. * During the update, the aircraft will restart multiple times and automatically shut down after the update has been completed.
DJI Mini 3 Pro is compatible with DJI RC-N1 and related accessories, as well as the DJI 18W USB Charger. Other DJI Mini 2 accessories are not compatible with DJI Mini 3 Pro.

What is the different between our
DJI warranty drones
, and the
DFH Warranty drones?
Virtually nothing. All the DJI drones we sell come:
1. In a factory sealed box from the DJI factory in China, and with an Australian power plug/adapter.
2. With English language on the box, in the manuals and the on-screen display menus.
3. With all duties and taxes already paid for (including GST).
4. With a standard DJI factory warranty. With some of our drones, this warranty was designed for people living in another country (not in Australia). This is why we apply our own 12 month DFH warranty for these drones – so your drone is warranted by DFH for use in Australia. Subject to the Warranty Terms and Conditions, under the DFH warranty, DFH agree to repair or replace the drone which it supplied to you at its own cost or provide you with a refund if the drone is found by DFH to be defective within 12 months of purchase.
Click here to see the Warranty Terms and Conditions
The drone is guaranteed against any manufacturing defects for a standard 1 year via the Manufacturer's warranty (DJI).

RPA operator accreditation A starting point for new people
RePL (Remote Pilot Licence)
A licence for individual pilots
(ReOC) RPA Operator's Certificate
The highest standard for drone businesses
You can fly commercially without a drone pilot licence, but you must register your drone and get an RPA operator accreditation from CASA. It’s a convenient option for new people wanting to just get their drone in the air legally and start making some money.
Remember flying a drone to make money is actually illegal in Australia unless you at least an RPA operator accreditation from CASA (or an RePL or ReOC).
Here are 5 good reasons to make sure you are approved by CASA before you fly.
How to get an RPA operator accreditation from CASA:
Here are the 2 steps you need to do to be allowed (by CASA) to fly a drone for commercial use without needing a licence:
Step 1: register your drone here, otherwise you would face a fine up to $11,100.
Step 2: get an RPA operator accreditation before you fly here.
If your drone is over 2kg, and you typically prefer to fly for someone else's drone business (not start your own business), it is best to obtain a Remote Pilot Licence.
By far the most popular licence option. RePL is typically a 5 day course, covering theory and practical, or do the theory part online + 2 days practical. This drone pilot licence does not expire and there is no renewal required! Minimum age is 17.
Best if your drones are over 2kg and you wish to set up your own drone business and work directly with customers. Typically for aspiring drone businesses owners who plan to hire individual pilots and operate a full time business.
Getting a ReOC is a more involved process that requires you to first have an RePL, and to then submit your company procedure and policies to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) for review and approval. The reward for getting this certification is having more options and less restrictions regarding fly zones, and more industry recognition from potential customers who may decide they only want to hire pilots with the highest available certification level (ReOC holders).
