DJI Mini 3 + RC-N1 controller drone

DJI Mini 3 + RC-N1 photo helicopter

DJI's latest incarnation of the popular Mavic Mini, the DJI Mini 3 photo copter promises a lot in a body weighing less than 250 grams.

Of course, the Mini 3 is designed to weigh less than 250g, and undercuts the bar by a gram. This allows much freer flying in most places where there are people and habitation. Please note, however, that you must always have line of sight to the helicopter, and never fly in the vicinity of large crowds.

As its name suggests, the helicopter is very small and fits in a rucksack when folded. It's the perfect companion for the travelling copter photographer.

Unlike the Mini 2, the Mini 3 has a larger camera cell (6.3 x 4.7 mm in the Mini 2 and 10 x 7.5 mm in the Mini 3), which naturally improves the image quality and dynamic range of the camera. The 24mm lens now has a fixed aperture of f/1.7 (as opposed to f/2.3 on the Mini 2), which slightly reduces noise when shooting in low light. Among the most noticeable changes in the Mini 3 is the ability to rotate the camera to a vertical position. This allows you to shoot somevideos at full quality without having to crop the image afterwards.
