The DJI Mini 3 is an enticing choice for eager drone pilots willing to sacrifice the obvious safety benefits of collision avoidance for a more affordable model. In most other respects, the Mini 3 will undoubtedly tick all of the boxes. It offers all of the standard photo and video features. Photos are limited to 12MP, unlike the Mini 3 Pro, which can shoot 48MP photos using the same sensor, but image quality is equally impressive.

The Mini 3 loses quite a few of the Mini 3 Pro’s features, but is also quite a bit cheaper and is a good upgrade from the Mini 2. If you don’t care about the better video quality or vertical shooting, then save money and find a discounted Mini 2.

The DJI Mini 3 combines some of the best elements of the DJI Mini 3 Pro — namely, its ability to shoot vertical video — along with epic battery life in a device that costs just under $500.

While not as well-equipped as its pricier Pro cousin, the Mini 3 is an excellent entry-level drone that delivers a lot for its low price. It’s easy to fly, pocket-sized, has incredible battery life and its camera performs better than anything else in this price range. Another brilliant drone from DJI.

El Mini 3 pierde algunas características que sí ofrece el Mini 3 Pro, pero a cambio podrás obtenerlo por un precio más económico. Si no buscas la mejor calidad de video o la posibilidad de usar el disparo vertical, entonces ahorra dinero y compra el Mini 2 con descuento.
