DJI Mini 3 is a big deal

Yes, the DJI Mini 3 is DJI’s smallest drone, but it is a big deal.

In its press release, DJI says the “DJI Mini 3 is a compact, ultra-lightweight camera drone that is ready for adventure.”

At less than 249 grams, Mini 3 is super light and small to carry anywhere (the best drone you have is the one… You know the rest), and is free from most drone rules in many parts of the world.

Its 1/1.3-inch camera sensor captures 4K HDR video and 12MP images with True Vertical Shooting for outstanding social media content quality.

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.”

As the newest of the DJI Mini series, the Mini 3 was especially designed to weigh under 249 grams.

This tiny size makes DJI Mini 3 simple to carry in your backpack or pocket for your next trip.

The mini 3 also fulfills drone restrictions in many areas of the globe, where sub-250g drones enable users to fly within regional compliance, no registration or test necessary.

However, be sure to check local regulations in the area you are traveling to as rules vary from country to country.

The DJI Mini 3 captures aerial video in 4K at 30 fps with HDR with true-to-life colors.

A 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor and f/1.7 aperture offer better picture resolution, sharper depth of field, and reduced image noise in even low light conditions and strong contrast, delivering cleaner photos.

To enhance low-light performance, 4-in-1 pixel technology can produce photographs with resolutions ranging from 48MP to 12MP and individual pixels as large as 2.4 μm to improve low-light performance.
