Buying decision

Should you buy it?

Buy the Mini 3 if you want a cheap way into DJI's camera quality: reviewers praised its great 4K images, a camera that tilts for vertical shots, raw stills, long 38-minute flights on the standard battery and regulation-friendly weight. Skip it if you're a nervous pilot or want follow shots, because it has no collision sensors and no subject tracking. Video tops out at 4K/30, and light wind can push it around.

Best for

First-time pilots on a budget who want good photos.

Not for

Anyone who wants obstacle avoidance or subject tracking.
