First DJI Mini 3 Pro unboxing video appears ahead of official drone launch

As we get closer to the rumored launch date of the DJI Mini 3 Pro, we are seeing more and more photos and videos being shared online. Today, we saw the first DJI Mini 3 Pro unboxing video, shared by Jasper Ellens.

The DJI Mini 3 Pro unboxing video is very short, only 32 seconds, and doesn’t show us much other than the new DJI mini drone is real.

The box of the DJI Mini 3 Pro has one of those yellow barcode labels that reminds me of Best Buy. However, we do not know if this drone is one of those accidental Best Buy sales or if it is from a YouTube reviewer.

On the front of the box, we see the DJI Mini 3 Pro and the new DJI remote controller with a built-in display.

The front of the DJI remote controller shows us the four LEDs to indicate battery status, two removable control sticks, and a switch for C, N, and S, which is likely Cinematic, Normal, and Sport. We also see a return to home button and an on/off switch.

On the back of the DJI remote controller, we see a storage space for the sticks as well as two additional buttons.

On the bottom of the DJI remote controller, we see a USB-C connection as well as a flap that covers a MicroSD card slot and another USB-C connection.

The DJI Mini 3 Pro drone itself is not shown in this video. I suspect that Jasper may save that for another tweet. Stay tuned!

First #unboxing video of the #Mini3Pro and a better view of the all new #screen #smartcontroller C1 and C2 button are now on the back. Nice.
