Drone Overview — DJI Mini 3

The DJI Mini 3 is a compact, travel-ready drone built around a 48 MP sensor capable of capturing stills at up to 8064x6048 pixels. Weighing just 249 grams and folding down to 148×90×62 mm, it's designed for photographers and videographers who prioritize portability without sacrificing imaging capability. Video tops out at 4K with frame rate options spanning 24fps through 60fps, and both photo and video support Normal and HDR color profiles.

The drone records to microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC cards and connects to a smartphone via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for live view monitoring at 1080p through the DJI app. ISO runs from 100 to 3200, and the focus system is fixed from 1 meter to infinity — no autofocus adjustments needed in flight. The Li-ion 2453 mAh battery is rated for up to 38 minutes of flight time, which is a meaningful advantage for extended shooting sessions.

Connectivity includes USB-C for charging and data. The plastic composite body carries no weather sealing, so conditions matter when planning flights. Video is captured in 8-bit color depth, and the DJI proprietary image processor handles all in-drone processing duties.
