DJI Mini 3 available at Fnac.com

The DJI Mini 3 drone is currently offered for 339.00 € at Fnac.com, as reported by Les Numériques. It was named the best affordable option in their lab comparison of 14 drone models.

Key features and performance

Despite its small size and weight of 249 g, the DJI Mini 3 includes a 1/1.3" 12 Mpx sensor for photography. It can record 4K/30 i/s HDR video, though it lacks some advanced features. The drone is noted for being fast, agile, and offering smooth flight even in wind.

Flight comfort and design

The DJI Mini 3 is praised for its compact and light design, long battery life, quiet operation, and a 60° upward tilting camera. Image quality is described as meeting expectations, with support for both Raw and JPEG formats.

Limitations of the drone

The drone lacks obstacle detection and uses the older OcuSync 2.0 video transmission system. It also does not include Mastershots modes or Focus Track features, which are available on more advanced models.

User experience issues

Users may find the microSD card insertion and ejection process inconvenient. Additionally, the drone's small size can make it challenging to track during flight, especially in busy environments.
