The DJI Mini 3 Pro: A Closer Look
The Mini 3 Pro, weighing less than 249 grams with its standard battery, has been a game-changer in the compact drone market since its release. It combines a lightweight design with professional-grade features, making it an attractive option for both amateur and professional pilots.
Key features of the Mini 3 Pro include:
- A 48MP 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor
- 4K video capabilities at up to 60fps
- Tri-directional obstacle sensing
- Extended flight time of up to 34 minutes (or 47 minutes with the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus)

Updating Your Drone
DJI recommends that if the update fails, users should “restart aircraft, remote controller, and DJI Fly or DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series), and retry.” This simple troubleshooting step can often resolve update issues.
DroneXL’s Take
The release of this firmware update demonstrates DJI’s commitment to continually improving their products, even months after release. While the changes in this update appear minor, they contribute to the overall reliability and performance of the Mini 3 Pro.
The drone industry is rapidly evolving, with manufacturers constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in increasingly compact form factors. The Mini 3 Pro exemplifies this trend, packing professional features into a sub-250g package. As regulations around drone use continue to develop, these lightweight yet capable drones are likely to play an increasingly important role in both recreational and professional applications.
