DJI offers more functionality under 250 grams with the new Mini 3 from DJI.
DJI has a wide variety of drones with a lot of purposes, but the Mini lineup has a special place in the market for one key reason—it’s 249 grams (when used without rotor protectors). This keeps it under the 250-gram weight category. Anything over that (at least in the U.S.) requires Part 107 certification from the FAA to legally fly a drone for commercial purposes. So if you want to use it for filmmaking where money changes hands, you need certification. The 249-gram Mini can be flown without that certification.
The new DJI Mini 3 aims to keep the lightweight design with updated features to keep up with the competition. But does it?
Hot, Hot, Heels
Following hot on the heels of the Mini 3 Pro that came out in June, the Mini 3 offers a lower price point of only $409 when it ships in early 2023. That’s a hefty 30% discount from the launch price of $699 for the Mini 3 Pro when it came out last summer.
