    I’ve owned a few drones in my time and the DJI 3 Pro is by far the best. Very easy to setup and update and great fun to fly. Picture and video quality are excellent. I can’t think of anything negative about this drone or the controller.

    I am prepared to believe the dji mini3 is brilliant fun, but the one I purchased didn’t work. I think the software was old 2020.
    ie:
    When asked for my location it kept defaulting back to United States and did not stay set on United Kingdom.
    The remote control (with screen) didn’t link to my wifi or broadband.
    It didn’t recognise my email address to send password info to.
    It asked for my telephone number in mainland China.
    The batteries did charge however and the drone and remote did switch on ok.
    To say I was disappointed is an understatement.
    What was refreshing and reassuring though, was the pick up and tracking of the return via U.P.S. was prompt and the refund from Amazon was in full and fast.

    Such a piece! This drone is absolutely a stunning little gadget, the camera is amazing super easy to fly , and very steady… must say we had to fetch the drone cause on its way back it ruined out of battery life and died somewhere on the road so we keeping an eye if that happens again as it shouldn’t, but a part from it my boyfriend loves it like a kid!

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersI already have the DJI mini SE but the fly app isn’t supported with my smart phone so i was grounded from the start and wish i had known before hand but this model came out with the DJI RC controller with built in screen and app already installed and it was a game changer no more having to connect a smartphone or downloading apps,
    I am a complete novice at drone flying but this bundle is so simple to master and makes flying your drone a breeze and the quality of images and video is fantastic and being able to see from great heights certainly changes your view of your surroundings and greatly improves your photography and the built in screen on the controller is bright and clear even on a sunny day and all controls are easy to operate and has the return to home button right where you need it in emergency situations, I absolutely love this little drone especially with the extra batteries and charger which gives you more flying time wherever you are and everything fits neatly into the supplied zipped bag along with spare propellers and charging cables,
    I highly recommend this drone especially for beginners like me.

    Despite the negative title, I have been thoroughly impressed by how well this tiny thing flies and the stunning quality of its pictures and videos. I can tell you that as a beginner to drone photography, the flying experience just came to me with only a little practice. However, the best way for you to judge whether this drone is for you is through a much more detailed review or video on the drone.
    What I can help with is deciding if this is the right bundle or not. I went for the Fly more combo along with the DJI-RC controller.
    — I would definitely recommend the FlyMore combo as the versatility that 2 extra batteries gives you, especially on the road, is very well worth the asking price
    — Regarding the DJI RC, it’s essentially a built in Android phone so you don’t have to connect your phone to the controller. While it makes the whole experience really convenient, I’d easily trade the controller for the ability to buy the DJI Mini 3 pro instead. The lack of active track has been my gripe with the mini 3 and to me it’s a fair trade between the RC and active track.

    Skip the DJI RC and get a mini 3 pro

    The DJI Mini 3 builds on the success of its predecessors, the DJI Mini and Mini 2, by offering enhanced capabilities and features. The drone’s lightweight design makes it highly portable and easy to carry, perfect for on-the-go adventurers and travel enthusiasts.

    One of the best features of the DJI Mini 3, IMHO, is its improved camera and gimbal system. The high-quality camera allows you to capture stunning aerial footage in even greater detail, making it an excellent choice for photographers and videographers alike (I managed to get some of those filters which make it even better). The advanced gimbal system ensures smooth and stable footage, giving your videos a professional touch.
    The Fly More Combo comes with an array of accessories that make it even more convenient for drone enthusiasts. The package includes extra batteries, propellers, a charging hub, and a carrying case. These accessories significantly enhance the overall user experience, making it easier to enjoy extended flight times and convenient storage and transportation options.
    Another fantastic feature of the DJI Mini 3 is its enhanced flight capabilities. The drone’s flight time, range, and stability have all been improved, making it more reliable and enjoyable to fly in various conditions. The intuitive and user-friendly DJI app also provides a seamless flying experience, with easy access to flight modes, settings, and real-time video feeds.

    One neutral point to consider is the price of the DJI Mini 3 Fly More Combo. While the package offers an impressive range of features and accessories, it may be a significant investment for some users. However, the quality and performance of the drone, combined with the convenience of the Fly More Combo, make it a worthwhile option for those looking to invest in a high-quality, portable drone.

    Long story short, the DJI Mini 3 Fly More Combo is an exceptional product that builds on the success of its predecessors by offering enhanced features and improved performance. With its lightweight design, upgraded camera and gimbal system, and extensive range of accessories, the DJI Mini 3 Fly More Combo is an excellent choice for drone enthusiasts seeking a top-quality, portable drone. While the price may be a consideration for some, the overall value and performance of the drone make it a worthwhile investment.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThe video gives a big overview of all the ins and outs I thought would be useful for you to know. This includes an unboxing, me complaining about missing parts, me apologising after finding the missing parts in a hidden compartment, a full overview of the setup process, charging and pre-flight and then, finally, what you actually want to see, the drone footage itself. Well, actually, given that all you really want to see is the drone footage I moved that to the start. The rest is there to give anyone who has questions about the drone as much information as possible about what you actually get – and what you actually need to do before flying it!

    However, in a nutshell:

    Things I liked:

    + The Fly More combo is definitely worth it. Definitely. You get the bag, the extra batteries and, crucially, the RC controller which is amazing. Makes flying the drone a doddle.
    + Supremely simple to get started. There is absolutely a learning curve and the first flight is heart-pounding. However, learning to fly is a really, really fun experience and I can’t tell you how great it’s been!
    + So many amazing features. I could go on about the camera (still shots look amazing, 4K looks stunning even though it’s only 30fps, 2.7K is 60fps), the quick shots (pre-programmed routines that the drone can carry out for you to get pro-level videos easily) and such, but you’re better off watching a full, in-depth YouTube video about the drone for those.
    + The drone and camera is very steady in low to medium wind. The gimbal is also great – you can even use the drone as remote-controlled camera if you want for smooth videos panning upwards, even if it’s not in the air.

    Things I didn’t like:

    – No lateral obstacle sensors. Not actually much of a big deal; I’m a beginner, but I didn’t really miss them. Mind you, I’ve only been flying over fields and wide open spaces.
    – For a beginner, I would have liked a “things you simply must know” cheat sheet. For example, if you select “Return to home”, it will fly back to where you took off. However, if you haven’t set a RTH altitude before flying, the drone will simply shoot up into the air because the default is set really high. This is terrifying to say the least – when the drone starts beeping due to a low battery and it says “I must return to you right now or you might lose me” and then takes off vertically like a firework, I have to say I really clenched.

    Do I recommend it?

    10000%. It’s absolutely amazing. It’s so easy to use but completely opens the skies up to you.

    I will say that there are a few things that you have to do in preparation before your first flight. As it is under 250g, you might think you don’t need any certification or documentation, but this is not true. Because it features a camera and is not a toy, you must register with the CAA and get an operator ID (10 per year). You do not need to take their test to get a flyer ID but I strongly, strongly suggest you do – I learned so much from it. And make sure you get setup and fully updated and charged up well before you leave home. You have to register the drone with DJI before your first flight and this involves firmware updates for both the drone and the controller. If you didn’t do this before leaving home, you might be returning having never left terra firma. But if you do prepare thoroughly, the thing you can’t prepare for is how blown away you’ll be. There’s just nothing else like it.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersA great drone, the best selling point is it’s got it’s own Remote Control with built in Colour Screen, I think that having a proper remote control not clamping your Phone to it is a massive Plus, works off of your mobile phones hotspot setting to get up the GP screen map where you are, many many good features on it, I got the 3 battery kit and battery charger charges all 3 one by one, can film directly down to the ground. It has plenty of useful info on screen like how much power left on the drone, a great range of distance you can set the altitude as a ceiling height, just a great produc

  12. ElmerBateson says:

    Everything comes packed in a faux leather protective travel bag and the best part is, you don’t have to put anything together. The most you have to do, is screw on the control sticks which are stored underneath the controller, charge the battery and unfold the arms. You even get 3 batteries so you’ll never run out of power!

    Before trying to fly your drone, I definitely recommend scanning the QR code in the instruction booklet that will lead you to an instructional video that will show you how everything works. You’ll also need to download the DJI Fly App.

    I’ve never flown a drone before and assumed I’d find it incredibly difficult. However. This amazing piece of kit really makes it easy for a beginner. There aren’t too many buttons and it all feels simple enough to manage. The screen on the controller is a good size at 5.5 inches, it’s a touchscreen and records incredibly clear footage in 4k HDR.

    My favourite feature of this drone was the automatic take off and return to home buttons. Invaluable! The advice is to fly it within your line of sight, so you can be sure to avoid things like trees and power lines etc The only difficulty for me was trying to remember my left from my right when I had the drone flying towards me, but I’ll get used to that!

    I highly recommend this drone and have no hesitation in giving it 5 stars.

    This drone is so good! I don’t have much experience of drones but this one is really easy to use. Instructions are nice and simple and very clear. The picture quality is amazing. It’s so easy to use. Very pleased with it. Great value for money.

    This is fantastic. It was so much better than my expectaions. Its lightweight which is good as you don’t need to go through the complex licences that bigger drones have, although still do read through the Government drone regulations as there are quite a few things you need to be aware of. The light weight also means its easier to carry about in the carry case that comes with it. The thumbsticks also detach and everything fits easily in the bag.

    It comes with three batteries which mean you can do repeated flights over a longer period without having to wait to recharge the battery. The batteries can also be charged in the same unit which is a great feature, rather than having to unplug, replug etc. It is designed to be convenient and practical.

    The programmable functions mean it is very easy to fly and very safe. You can set max heights, max distance, return to home height and location. The large screen on the controller means you can see exactly what you are doing without having to plug into a phone. The map on the screen allows you to track the location wherever it is. The return to home feature is fantastic as you don’t have to worry about losing it – although be careful around obstacles. It flies really well. I was so impressed at how it was able to stabilise and move smoothly through the air. It is lightweight but it isn’t a pushover!

    The photo and video quality is fantastic. It’s really easy to use and the preset modes are very good. You can capture really cool videos and track an object which means even an amateur can look professional! I was really impressed at how quickly we were able to get very nice video footage. It’s amazing to see what things look like from above – but be aware there are some places that you cannot fly (restricted areas are marked on the app map) and you need to also be careful about flying in residential areas and not invading people’s privacy. It can travel far, flying several km is impressive and it can go at a considerable speed too.

    Its not possible to make a pre-programmed flight path which is the main downside and I hope they bring in this function.

    It doesn’t come with an SD card so you need to purchase one, but these are easy enough to get hold of.

    It’s impossible to talk about drones and not mention DJI there is a very good reason why they have so many top quality drones and in my opinion the leaders in the drone market. The build quality of the DJI Mini 3 is excellent made from very good materials.

    The drone is lightweight which it needs to be to keep it below 250g, it is made from hardened plastic which is strong and durable and built to last BUT it depends on your flying, it’s not indestructible if your lucky it may survive one crash but that’s it.

    This is the cheaper of the DJI 3 mini drones but still costs a bit BUT there is no denying the quality of this drone yes there are plenty of cheaper drones out there but don’t waste your time & money on them, this is worth every penny and you will not be sorry.

    Like all DJI products you can only use it for a few times then you have to register for DJI Care Refresh which is a charged product. For the DJI Mini you can use it for 48 hours then you have to buy DJI Care Refresh you have two options one year which costs 55 or two years 85 there is no way around this so this is something to bear in mind when you are looking at the overall cost but as I said this is the same for all there products and for me it is worth the money when you see the support but you will have to judge that for yourself.

    In the box you get everything you will need which makes this an amazing bundle extra propellers which you will need at some point, the screwdriver to be able to remove the old and install the new propellers. Two fast charging cables one USB-C to USB-C cable & USB-C to USB-A which is a bonus.

    You get two extra batteries and a charging hub, in the description each battery should give you thirty-eight minutes of flying but this depends on the weather and if your flying into the wind etc so realistically we are probably talking more about thirty minutes this is still an hour and a half of flying which is plenty of time.

    There are two options of controllers you can purchase with the drone DJI RC-N1 & DJI RC controller, for the DJI RC-N1 you will need to connect your mobile phone to the controller and use the for GPS and as the screen for flying the drone, note you have to have a signal on the phone to use this. The second option the DJI RC is the more expensive out of the two but is the better option if you can afford it you do not need your mobile phone has it’s own screen which is clear and bright and GPS is built in.

    The drone is very easy to fly and there are tutorials in the mobile app and on the DJI website teaching the basics and everything you need to know which is a bonus. You will be tempted to take off and fly off DON’T wait till you hear it say Home Point has been set this will save you a world of trouble if you loose signal the drone will return to this position or even if you are not sure where the drone is just press the return to home button and it will return to that location.

    The video and images you can take with the drone is truly amazing and you can do videos in horizontal & vertical with he camera which sets this apart from other drones so if you want to make social media reels or videos you can do this with no editing needed in vertical position.

    Overall I am very happy with the DJI Mini 3 drone and would definitely recommend it.

    Probably the best done I have owned. It is easy to fly (well easier than most ), it is stable in flight with auto take off, return home and landing. The battery charge time is quick, and yet it gives long flight times, which makes for an enjoyable day flying, control range is very long too.
    For beginners there are lots of ‘help’ options built in.
    The camera produces incredible footage, very sharp and clear. I can’t fault this in any way. Recommended.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis is the best drone I have owned! It is phenomenal. The camera and video footage are outstanding.
    I love the Mini 3’s new obstacle avoidance and built-in display on the remote. The RC controller is worth the additional price, no having to connect the phone. So simple to fly yet has so many powerful features.
    Flight time & battery is first class. It’s Under 250g so not as many restrictions for use.
    The Picture quality of the photo and video is perfect. It records 4k 30fps camera and takes stills of 12mp with an f1.7 lens.
    It doesn’t come with sd card.
    If you want to shoot nice quality video with the correct shutter speed, don’t forget to invest in ND filters.
    I would recommend this drone to anyone who wants to get into drone flying.

    This is written from the perspective of a first-time drone flyer

    The DJI Mini 3 is a superb entry into the world of drone flying and is from arguably the world’s leading brand of drone. The mini is a sub 249g drone, which is significant as currently the Civil Aviation Authority regulations around drones are more relaxed for this weight category of drone (you do by law have to register on the CAA website by the way for a Operator ID and stick the number you are given to your drone before you fly).

    The Mini 3 is quite a full featured yet extremely compact and lightweight drone. It can capture superb quality 12MP photographs in either raw or JPEG and the photo quality is improved from the previous Mini 2 model especially in terms of HDR and low light photographs and the quality of the lens. Video can be capture up to 4k at 30 frames per second, and it looks glorious. Note that if you want super silky smoothly slow motion you may benefit from paying more and going for the Mini 3 Pro, which captures 4k 60fps. One other important thing to note is that the Mini 3 does NOT feature “follow me” mode, so it can not automatically follow a target/the user, whereas the Mini 3 Pro does have that feature. This is not important to many users but might be important if you do a lot of cycling and hiking and want shots from your drone following behind/overhead while you walk or cycle. Also worth noting is that the battery time is quoted at around 37 minutes, which is a further upgrade over the Mini 2.

    What you do get here, is a small, lightweight but well made drone with excellent still image and video capabilities. It flies well, is fairly easy to get to grips with quickly, and has plenty of features. This Fly More kit is highly recommended as it comes with spare propellers, 3 batteries, a charger letting you charge all 3 simultaneously, a carry bag, and for me the star of the show, the DJI RC which is a version of the remote controller that has a built in screen. This is 100% worth having as it means you do not have to connect your phone to the controller — the controller has the DJI Fly app built in, which frees up your phone for, well, regular phone duties instead of having to use it as a remote controller screen.

    Top marks DJI, an excellent upgrade to the DJI Mini 2 ! If you do invest in this, be sure to register with the CAA for an operator ID, stick the ID to the drone before use, and read the manual and about UK drone laws before use. I also recommend you consider a care package such as those offered by DJI as a lot of people damage or lose their drones early in their drone flying careers and these care packages provide fast low-cost repairs and replacements.

    I have been absolutely blown away by how incredible this drone is to fly. Even in high winds it stabilises itself and is easy to control, even for a novice. There is a touchscreen built into the controller which allows the user to view the onboard camera, view photos and recordings, and adjust settings for the drone and app. A button on the left hand of the screen opens up the auto launch, and then the return to home functions. The return to come was incredibly accurate landing within a meter of the starting point.
    As well as the control sticks for the 8 axis, there are buttons at the top of the controller that allow the user to start a video recording, take a photo, zoom in and adjust the camera tilt.
    Included in the fly more kit are 3 batteries to allow 38 minutes of flight time. In practice I found that I actually achieved longer than this, incredibly impressive.
    The carry case included has space enough for the drone, 3 batteries, and the controller. It is a quality black bag with adjustable strap which is really useful for travelling to your flight area.
    The quality of videos and photos captured from the drone is high 4K quality, colours are vibrant and the resolution is perfect.

    Incredibly Steady and Easy to Fly

    I am so impressed with this drone. Love the new remote for it, as it allows you to use the drone without attaching your mobile phone. The drone itself works really well, it has pro features such as 4K50FPS and D-Cinelike which can really take your videography to a whole other level. Unlike the mini 2, this one is much easier to see and quicker to get started flying.

    It’s easy and quick to transfer photos/videos from the controller to my phone too (iPhone) with no issues at all. The drone itself is also amazing, feels safer flying it with the extra obstacle avoidance sensors and extra camera modes making it overall a superb drone for a range of people, both enthusiasts and amateurs. It pretty much flies itself. You can some really interesting angles and stunning landscape pictures. I would recommend getting the fly more pack. You’ll need it.

    The propellers are a bit flimsy and flop about a bit. The micro SD card slot can be a pain to get cards in and out so I would suggest using a paper clip or pin of some kind. I would suggest getting the micro SD cards design for drones and transmitters to get the best results and prevent writing errors. Having previously owned several DJI drones in the past I have to say that each year the technology is advancing so significantly it’s always worth upgrading in particular here the Handling and manoeuvrability of the item, as well as the superior uplift in the image and video quality, is worth the upgrade alone from last year’s model.

    The flight time & battery life is first class. Normally I can get around 25 to 30 mins off an hour’s charge. Ss you get a couple of batteries with this bundle option, you can get hours of footage. The integrated software is top-notch and fairly easy to use even for a complete beginner. You will need to tether to your phone for map access. I won’t deny that It is very pricey, and for what you pay there is a lack of accessories included. I had to buy a propeller protector separately as it doesn’t come with the main drone or fly more packs, so the props don’t snag when folded up, this doesn’t add to the weight when flown so no excuse really for not including it. Also worth getting landing legs as unless the ground you land on is completely level or you intend to catch it every time, you can expect to damage the props.

    Amazing camera, 4K 60FPS, excellent dynamic range, Active Track, Obstacle Avoidance, Master shots, Hyper-lapse. Just so much to enjoy! This really is an all-rounder. I still can’t believe how much they managed to pack into such a small drone. With the screen controller, I can now get airborne in under 30 seconds, whereas before, it was a lot of effort connecting my phone to the controller, loading apps, disabling notifications, etc.

    All in all, this is a very impressive drone. Definitely worth buying with the built-in screen in the remote controller. If you want to shoot nice quality video with the correct shutter speed, don’t forget to invest in ND filters, this will take your shots to a whole other level. So many features to improve your photo and video filmography. Fly almost anywhere. Highly recommend!

    Hope this review helps.

    This arrived in a white branded box with images of the full kit on the front and back along with specifications on the side. Once opened everything is contained within the shoulder bag with bespoke sections for the DJI RC, charging hub with batteries fitted in, and the DJI Mini 3. In the top of the bag you have a separated zip close section containing spare parts, leads, and a quick start guide.

    The first thing I will say is I am a novice when it comes to drones, having limited experience of just flying small toy drones. I was very interested in how user friendly this would be for someone like me or with no experience at all, along with the learning curve.

    After unpacking everything I put the batteries on charge and fitted a micro SD card into the DJI Mini 3 (not supplied). There are a mass of tutorial videos on this drone so I spent a bit of time watching some of these which helped a lot before I went on to my first flight.

    The setting up of the DJI RC controller is very smooth; with a good step by step walk through, and once done I was ready to give it a test out. I found it very stable and easy to control with the GPS and home feature giving me confidence should I get into trouble. I had a fairly short flight outside trying out the different features which I found quite easy to switch to while in the air as the drone will hover in place without any problem.

    I thought the learning curve of this really good, it has a lot of advanced features to dabble in, or you can go with standard setups switching to cinema mode, normal mode or sports mode. The camera angle is very easy to adjust with the wheel on the front of the controller along with a second wheel for the zoom feature. The front buttons are used to start recording and for taking photos. There are two buttons on the bottom which are customisable but are already set, the left changes the camera mode to vertical and back and right button moves the camera down to face the ground. The controller is very easy to get used to especially if you are familiar with using gaming controllers, or small gaming machines with inbuilt screens.

    I have used this several times now and am gaining confidence in flying it. I have tried out all the different modes, and slowly started to dabble in the more advanced features. I found the flying really stable and smooth and have been really impressed with some of the footage I have managed to take.

    Overall in my opinion this is ideal for both beginner and advanced user, it has a very user friendly learning curve which does not force you to take on a mass of knowledge before use. The flying is smooth and stable, and with the adjustable camera and flight modes you can capture some great footage. I really can’t fault this kit so have given top marks.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis DJI Mini 3 package has a foldable camera drone, three batteries with a triple charger, a controller box, instructions, and a thick sturdy decent case to fit the entire contents in.

    As an amateur photographer, I’ve meant to purchase a drone for some time. This is the first drone I’ve ever had and I can confirm it was easy to learn how to fly it. I’ve taken it out a couple of times, it’s fairly quiet running which is good, easy to operate and control and can move very fast. It’s an awesome piece of kit.

    The battery gives you an incredible 38 minutes of flight time and you have three batteries to take with you. The camera has decent performance filming in 4K up to 30fps and takes 12MP photos which is ideal for many people’s needs but if you want 4K video in 60fps and 48mp photos you need to buy the DJI Mini Pro.

    This drone is small and compact, and can easily fit in your coat pocket or the sturdy shoulder bag provided. It’s lightweight, is a nice-looking drone and is easy to fly. It doesn’t have front or rear obstacle detection or active track auto-follow mode but overall, it’s a decent drone!

    An impressive budget camera drone.

    The DJI Mini 3 drone is a fantastic, under 250g drone which means you can fly it without many of the restrictions placed on the larger drones.
    In the UK you just need to do a simple test with the CAA and gain your operator number which you must have clearly displayed on the drone.

    When you turn the drone on for the first time and you’ve gone through the set up, you’ll be talked through basics of using the drone in really easy to understand tutorials.

    The drone takes a lot of things into its control, take off and landing are made a breeze with automatic controls, it takes off and hovers at a preset altitude.
    The GPS and downward sensors allow the drone to stay at height, if you let go of the control sticks it will stop where it’s at and stay there, waiting for your next stick push. Ideal for beginners.

    The fly more kit give you three batteries, a really nice carrying case the controller with built in screen, a battery charger unit, three sets of spare propellers and is an ideal kit.

    The drone has so many functions you’ll be playing around with it for months and still won’t have mastered them all. The automated “Quickshots” Dronie, Circle, Helix, Rocket, and Boomerang make creating cinematic footage a doddle, and panoramic, globe and 360 photos have never been easier.

    The drone itself is small and lightweight, around the length of an iphone yet has decent wind resistance. The battery life means you’ll get a little over half an hour flight time between charges, which is an improvement of older models and a real bonus when using the drone.

    Picture quality on both photo and video is superb with the 4k 30fps camera and stills of 12mp with an f1.7 lens. The Mini 3 features horizontal and vertical shooting which is switchable at the touch of the screen. This is fantastic for social media shooting etc where you want the image to match the phone shots.

    With the new Lightcut app you can even create your cinematic masterpieces straight on your phone with loads of templates and features adding to the fun of drone flying.

    DJI have a massive range of drone models for you to choose from now, and no matter which one you go for you’re going to have fun and be impressed with the quality and features packed into them.

    The Mini 3 is one of their newest and if you’re after a feature packed sub 250g drone then as a slightly watered down version of the mini 3 pro it’s really worth your consideration.

    Now excuse me, I’m off out to fly some more.

    Fantastic, easy to use, feature packed sub 250g drone.

    I think this is the best mini to date, the camera has a much faster f1.7 lens so night footage is amazing, even better than my air 2s in my opinion, it flys amazingly well for sub 250g too, one thing to note is this does not have an active track function or obstacle avoidance sensors, apart from that absolutely fantastic drone, the kit I am testing is the fly more kit which includes extra batteries, flying time is absolutely massive with these, 30 minutes plus even with aggressive flying, the included rc controller is also great as it makes set up so simple as I do not have to use my phone.

    All in all, best mini to date and a worthy successor to the mini 2, also worth noting is the camera in this is the same as the mini 3 pro, it just lacks the 4k 60 but does do up to 4k 30.

    Buy with confidence this is an amazing drone that flys great and gets amazing-looking footage.

    I’ve had a couple of drones in the past but nothing compares in comparison to this one. From what I’ve heard DJI is a highly recommended drone and after trying this out I totally agree.

    We took this to a field beside us to check out. A friend of mine knows more about drones and joined us. The photos and videos are brilliant. I was surprised at how good this was to control.

    With this drone you get a gimbal protector,a two way charging hub, a usb cable, a type-c to type-c PD cable,spare propellers, three intelligent flight batteries, a DJI rc, spare screws, a screwdriver and a shoulder bag.

    The saying you get what you pay for comes to mind with this drone. Although I thought it was expensive at first I can understand it’s definitely worth the money. This would be suitable for businesses and professionals that would want photos and/or videos from above.

    My son already wants me to go video him playing rugby so he can see how he can improve lol

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersHow DJI have fit all that technology into a sub 250g drone is simply astonishing.
    The image quality of both photos and video are just fantastic and easily good enough for not only social media but also commercial use.
    The only things missing are sideways obstacle sensors which will probably come in the future.
    In terms of usability this is the best drone on the market today in my opinion.
    Moving to the RC again brilliant value for money to have a dedicated screen for the drone so you don’t have to tie up your phone, again image quality on the screen is very good.
    Controller is very easy to use and I’ve experienced zero lag from it.
    I honestly don’t think the average person wanting a drone really needs anything better.
