Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve had a fixed-wing RC plane/drone that I’ve flown for years, and it even has a basic camera on it. Taking my first flight with this DJI Mini 3, however, I felt like I’d suddenly entered the 21st century. Flying it is so simple and how it stabilizes itself even in a moderate breeze is just amazing. The videos it can capture are superb. Even though this drone is purposely under the 250g threshold that requires registration with the FAA, you do still need to do the free online training/testing to get your TRUST certificate to carry with you when flying. Another good resource is the B4UFLY app. You can use that to get automated LAANC approval to fly in certain controlled airspace areas. For example, I live just inside the edge of controlled airspace of our city’s airport. However, I can fly with auto LAANC approval if I stay under 150’ which is more than enough flying room. The DJI app seems to be very diligent at preventing people from flying in controlled areas, which is a great thing. In my case, it knows that I’m in what it calls an Authorization Zone so I have to jump through extra hoops before the motors will even power up. The app doesn’t require the LAANC approval (which you still legally need to get), but it does make you authenticate through your mobile phone to attest that you’ve done everything required. After that, you can take off and fly. Another great feature of the DJI app is that I can set a ceiling of, say, 140’ in the app so I don’t accidentally go over the 150’ limit. Once all the regulation stuff was taken care of and I got to fly—wow, what a blast! It has an auto take-off and landing feature and is super good at holding its position even with a breeze swirling around. It really is a great camera platform for capturing videos. I went ahead and bought a pair of 64GB microSD cards—one for the drone and one for the controller. From what I can tell, the controller one is used to store video cache of the live feed while you’re flying. The video capture on the drone itself is higher resolution, but if something goes wrong at least you have the live feed recorded, too. I highly recommend spending a little more to get the DJI RC controller (as opposed to the RC-N1) as it has the screen and DJI Fly app built in. It’s so much simpler to use than trying to connect and situate your phone in the holder. It’s also nice to use the built-in app so you don’t have to install the DJI Fly app on your phone. It’s not available in the Google Play store so you’d have to change your security settings to install it from an apk file. It has so many features it’s impossible to go into all of them here. Read the user guide for all the details, which you can easily download and go through before you buy. I will mention, though, the camera buttons are intuitive to stop/start video recording and take snapshots. You can pan the camera down 90 degrees and even up a fair distance. But the 3x digital zoom was especially useful. I was following my horses as they walked out in the pasture and I couldn’t get too close without disturbing them. With the zoom I was able to get some great footage of them just acting naturally. The Fly More Combo is very useful to have, too. Not only do you get two additional batteries and an external charger, but you get a nice carrying case and spare propellers. Hopefully I won’t need to use those last items. The case should be very handy when the weather warms up next spring. I plan to pack the drone with me on my e-bike so I can explore and hopefully get some nice footage of nearby lakes and parks. The Mini 3, the Mini 2, or Mini 3 Pro all seem like excellent drones. You just need to decide what features are most important and how much you want to spend. The Mini 3 is perfect for what I want to do, so I couldn’t be happier with it so far. I hope to get some really cool videos, but it’s also going to be a lot of fun just to fly.

This was my first drone. Very easy to get used to and the quality of the controller screen and footage in general is immaculate.

WOW! The DJI Mini 3 is really pretty incredible. This package comes with 2 extra batteries, which you will definitely need. On a full charge I found that the batteries lasted about 20 minutes each rather than the advertised 30 minutes. Set up of the device was quite difficult for some reason. The app gave instructions for the Mini 3 Pro instead of the Mini 3 which created some confusion. I was finally able to get it figured out and did get it set up properly. I also had a little bit of issue getting the unit and remote control to connect with each other, but after a few tries they did eventually find each other. Once set up, firmware updated, and batteries charged, I was ready for my first flight. I was amazed at the relative ease of controlling the unit. I have used smaller/lighter drones a great deal and they are fun but can be a handful. Even in mildly windy conditions this unit did a good job maintaining its flight path. The camera is absolutely amazing. Be aware there are some added costs when purchasing this unit. You will have to register with the FAA ($5), you will need to purchase a mini-SD card to record footage from the drone if you intend to do that. It really should come with one but does not. Though it was advertised to include extra propellors my box did not. Also no power cube is included, though 2 very short usb c cords are included.

Easy to learn. Takes great video/pictures. Can’t believe how far I can fly this machine without losing it.

Easy setup, Good instructions. Lots of fun and useful for checking out the roof line. Love the product, great pictures and options. Would buy again.

Great drone. Its easy to fly and use. And having the bundle makes for a lot of flight time.

I recently got the drone bug again after a multi-year break. I had used the Phantom 2 size and then a 5 propeller called a Yuneex Typhoon I believe. Both much larger, but I find the little mini very easy to fly, very convenient and plenty stable for my use. Obviously video and photo capability has come a long way. Highly recommend for casual user - that's me, so that is the perspective from which I am equipped to review.

Works great, easy to set up, affordable, and great pictures!

Amazing easy to operate. Pictures are Crystal clear.

This is no doubt the best Drone i have come across! Its has everything my husband was looking for! Plus more!! I have been dropping helpful questions to make him think im still shopping around... :) but im just reading the Specs and features for this product. Thank you for making this Christmas super easy!

Amazing drone looking for wind and hail damage. The guidance avoidance system aid a novice like me and the 4k pics allow me to see wind and hail damage so that there is very little need for me to actually jump on a roof. Highly recommended. I'm probably only scratching the surface with this unit but it has only been a couple weeks.

Absolutely thrilled with my new drone! The quality is outstanding, offering stunning aerial views. It's user-friendly and provides exceptional stability during flight. Highly recommend for anyone seeking top-notch aerial photography and an incredible flying experience!

i loved my time with the DJI Mini 3! it was an absolute game changer for me. Would recommend to all of my friends! Great for short form content creation and easy to use.

My wife surprised me with the DJI mini 3 drone. This drone is easy to fly right out of the box. A lot of YouTube videos online to get you started and familiar with all of the features. I have a new hobby. Love it.

Easy to fly and has many resources. Unfortunately not appropriated for indoors flying,but for outdoors it's great. This should be your very first drone.

One of the great features of this model is also the cause of one of its biggest drawbacks. The controller now features a built-in touchscreen so you no longer need to connect your phone to see what's going on. However, that also means there's no memory storage in the controller to save photos or videos. You must have a (micro) SD card in the drone to record content, but if you want to transfer that content off the drone you also need an SD card in the controller. You can view the drone's content on the controller, but you can't get it off the drone. If there's a card in the controller, you can transfer the content to the controller, then use a QR code to set up a wireless link to your phone to transfer it off. But without that card in the controller, you can't wirelessly transfer content directly from the drone to your phone. So you either need two cards to move your content wirelessly, or you need to remove the card from the drone and read it directly on another device. If you don't plan on creating content to share, not needing a phone is nice. You can do everything on the controller, including browsing the video guides for operating the drone (if you're on a WiFi network). The picture is quite clear, and the touchscreen works fine, though it doesn't have great visibility in direct sunlight. So, this is a great all-in-one package, as long as you're willing to purchase two SD cards, or you don't plan on sharing content.

Great product, worth the extra money to get a DJI rather than lesser known drone.

Awesome drone, great features, handles just like a DJI should with new features that set the bar even higher for other companies
