DJI’s Mini Pro 3 Pocket-Sized Drone Has Arrived

Chinese drone maker DJI recently launched its DJI Mini 3 Pro, a palm-able device weighing a tad over 0.5 lbs, featuring tri-directional obstacle sensing, true vertical shooting, focus track, and 4K high dynamic range (HDR) video.

HDR is a feature that allegedly shoots videos with higher contrast and more colors than standard video, and playback is similarly so, depending on equipment capabilities. It folds out from its collapsible compact form like its larger siblings, with the exception being that this one can probably fit in your pocket!

DJI promises extended flight time of just over 30 minutes, however, with the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus, you may expect a bit above 45 minutes.

In 1080p video shooting you can expect 120frames per second (fps), 60fos for 4K video and 48 mega pixel (MP) photos. A note about the tri-directional obstacle sensing…you have 120-degrees forward and ground views, and less than 90-degrees in reverse without ground view.

Apparently, the Mini 3 Pro is controllable via the DJI RC-11 or the new RC, both of which offer a maximum video bit rate of 18Mbps with a latency of about 120ms. Recorded content transfer can be done via Wi-Fi and is usually the case, a range of ‘acce$$orie$ can be used with the device; battery, charging hub, ND filters.
