About DJI Mini 3

DJI Mini 3 is a compact folding camera drone for consumer aerial photography. It combines a sub-249-gram airframe, vertical shooting, automated capture modes and extended flight options in a portable platform designed for recreational operators.

Camera performance, transmission range, flight time and regulatory treatment vary by battery, region, environment and operating rules. The Mini 3 lacks the obstacle-sensing and higher-end imaging features of DJI's more advanced compact models.
