DJI Mini 3 was officially launched last Friday. It is a compact drone that is lightweight but still offers interesting features previously only found on DJI's more flagship models. The Mini 3 is equipped with a 48MP camera with a 1/1.3 CMOS sensor and an f/1.7 lens that can record photos at 12MP and video up to 4K30p.
The Mini 3 camera uses a quad-binning technique to produce smaller but sharper images. The gimbal used not only stabilizes the video to be recorded but can rotate 90 degrees to allow vertical video to be taken. Stories and TikTok content can be taken more easily through this mode.
The included battery offers up to 38 minutes of flight time according to DJI. Through an additional battery pack accessory sold separately, the Mini 3's flight time can be increased up to 51 minutes. It is small in size and weighs only 259 grams – lighter than a Galaxy Z Fold4. However, it can fly stable even in windy conditions at a speed of 39 km/h.
The DJI Mini 3 is sold at a price starting at RM1999 for the drone only and goes up to RM3999 for the Fly More Combo edition which also offers a remote control, bag, charger, and two extra batteries.
