    I recently purchased the DJI Mini 3 from Best Buy, and I am absolutely impressed with the performance of this little drone. As a drone enthusiast, I've had previous experiences with older models, but the Mini 3 has raised my expectations to a whole new level. Compact Design and Portability: The Mini 3 continues DJI's tradition of creating incredibly compact drones. It's amazing how all the power of flight and advanced features fit into such a small device. Portability is unmatched, making it perfect for travel or outdoor adventures. Exceptional Flight Performance: Flight performance is where the DJI Mini 3 truly shines. Stability is remarkable even in moderate wind conditions. The precise positioning system allows for safe and confident flights, while obstacle sensors ensure smooth and collision-free navigation. Camera Quality: The camera quality of the Mini 3 is astounding for a drone of this class. Images are sharp and vibrant, and the ability to record in 4K resolution adds a professional touch to aerial footage. Intelligent capture modes, such as QuickShots, deliver impressive results with minimal effort. Intuitive Controls: The user interface and controls of the DJI Fly app are intuitive and easy to learn, even for beginners. The stable connection between the remote control and the drone provides a smooth and responsive piloting experience. Battery Life: Battery life is quite impressive for a drone of this size. I can get about X minutes of flight time on a single charge, which is more than enough for capturing multiple photos and videos. Conclusion: The DJI Mini 3 has exceeded all my expectations. It's the perfect drone for enthusiasts of all skill levels, offering an incredible combination of portability, performance, and camera quality. If you're looking for a compact and powerful drone, the DJI Mini 3 is the right choice. Pros: Exceptional portability Stable flight performance 4K camera quality Intuitive controls Impressive battery life

    This drone is better than I expected it to be. I’d been practicing on cheap drones before attempting to fly this one and when I finally worked up the courage to fly it I found it much easier than the cheap ones I’d practiced on. The on screen guide on the remote gave quite a bit of good info for introducing you to the drone. YouTube has more specific guides on what you can fully do with the drone, but still the guide on the remote controller screen was very helpful. The more you fly the easier it is to get used to the controls. I unknowingly put myself in a couple situations where it looked like I was about to crash the drone into an obstacle but letting off the controls immediate helped avoid that so I recommend new flyers fly in a big open space and get used to flying forward and letting go of the controls to get a feel for how far it takes the drone to stop so you can avoid any unnecessary collisions. I’m very satisfied with how well the camera works and clear the images are. I’ve not fully tested the range yet because I don’t always have access to wide open areas but the distances I have flown I’ve had no issues with connectivity. Battery life says something like 34 minutes of flight time and I’ve gotten close to that, as wind speed does have an effect on the battery life. You’d definitely want to buy the fly more kit in order to prolong your flying. I think this is a good drone for someone who is starting off or for someone who wants to just fly around and have fun.

    I started off with the mini SE, but wanted something a little better and with 4k video. The Pro was a little too expensive for me so I waited for the standard mini 3. With the sale/price drop on the mini 3, I decided to pull the trigger and was not dissappointed at all. Battery life is great, better if you get the higher capacity battery. Eventhough you only get 4k 30 unlike the Pro's 4k 60, video is still smooth and crystal clear. If you are a safe and responsible drone pilot not having obstacle avoidance shouldn't be an issue. I do wish it did have active tracking, but oh well. The vertical shooting is great for those who will be posting to social media, but I really like that the gimbal can tilt all the way up. Overall, a great drone in a tiny package (though slightly larger than the mini 2s design). If you can afford the Pro, great get that. But if you can't or you want to start off with a great beginner drone, look no further, the mini 3 is it!

    Love this drone! I’ve been wanting one for ages and decided to pull the trigger and do it. I’ve had this drone for almost 5 months now and haven’t had any issues. I wanted it mainly for photos and they absolutely rock. The quality couldn’t be any better for the price point. My recommendation is go with extra batteries, you won’t want to wait till it recharges. I’ve invested in 3 additional for more flying time. Unless you want to have to register it don’t go with the single lager capacity one’s. Other than that, it’s a blast and the photo/video is very nice.

    The DJI Mini 3 is one of my favorite things i own. It is easy to pilot, the connection & battery life is good, and overall is really worth it. Although, the DJI Mini 3 does not have more advanced features, like obstacle avoidance, or tracking. If you want those, buy the Mini 3 Pro or Mini 4 Pro

    Very easy to handle this drone and it takes great pictures! The battery life is good for what I needed it for, real estate photography. I am a beginner with drones and I didn’t have any trouble getting used to it. Great control in wind also.

    Very nice video quality and is super easy to fly and land and lasts for long periods of time. I would recommend getting a license as not having one makes areas you can fly limited

    It's been about 4 months since I got this. I was already a pilot, I went ahead and got my Part 107 drone pilot license. It's been a blast fly it. Hands down one of the best purchases I've made in awhile and I met my girlfriend while flying it. She has now named my drone Sparky - she's a big star wars fan. Definitely worth getting extra batteries tho, you lose track of time while flying.

    Super easy to use as someone with zero drone experience. I’d recommend getting the bundle instead though. Bundle comes with 2 extra battery’s, a battery charging dock, and a case (and some extra spare parts) The battery lasts less than an hour in my experience which is almost always more than I need as someone just flying it around for fun, but having the extra two battery’s and the dock would be super helpful if you’re using this daily for extended time periods. The case that comes with the bundle looks fine but you can find a decent one on Amazon for about $30 so there’s definitely options

    This is my third dji. I like the screen integration compared to using your phone. The battery lasts for about 30 minutes of flight. Internet connection isn’t required for use, so this is a plus.
