![]() Pair it with the B4UFly app and a weather app to help guide decisions on when and where to fly. I’m sure it’s not foolproof, but several built-in protections exist. The default settings also keep the drone under the legal (U.S.) 400-foot limit, though you can adjust that in the settings. The drone won’t let you fly in a restricted zone. I also prefer DJI’s built-in limits when compared to other drone manufacturers. But the DJI Mini 3 is set up for beginners, including a walkthrough of the different controls. ![]() There’s a steeper learning curve to picking up your first drone when compared to picking up your first camera. AutofocusĭJI’s Mini line is beginner-friendly, and the DJI Mini 3 is no exception. If the wind speed is low enough and there’s no precipitation falling, then the Mini 3 can head up into the skies to take photos of snowy landscapes. Unlike my DJI Mini 2, the Mini 3 isn’t grounded all winter. ![]() The DJI Mini 3 is rated to fly in temperatures of 14 degrees and above. I’m not qualified to give legal advice, but what would happen if person or property damage occurred while flying a drone outside the listed parameters? Nothing good, I’m sure. Flying in temps beyond what’s listed in the specifications can void a warranty or DJI+ Care insurance. Yes, many folks on the internet say that you can fly in colder temperatures, but there are a few risks to that. The previous version, the Mini 2, was only rated down to 32 degrees. Larger drones can handle higher wind speeds a bit better.īut, impressively, this tiny drone can still fly in cold weather. Because of gusts, I cut one of my flights short in winds forecasted around 16-18 MPH. Gusts will push the wind above that average, at which point the drone software will warn you and tell you to lower your altitude or land altogether. Keep in mind, though, that the typical weather report contains the average wind speed. That’s even with the DJI Air 2S, but a bit under what the DJI Mavic 3 is capable of. DJI rates this drone in the 10.7 m/s (Level 5), roughly 19-24 mph winds. Most crashes would be catastrophic, though it’s possible to get lucky and only need to replace a basic part like the props.īecause the drone is so light, it will get pushed around in the wind. To remain under that 250g weight class, the DJI Mini 3 is mainly made with lightweight plastics. Another big perk of the Pro version is that it includes forward and backward obstacle detection rather than just downward sensors like the Mini 3. The DJI Mini 3 announcement came on the heels of the DJI Mini 3 Pro, which has the same small form, but jumps up to 48 megapixels, 60p 4K, and includes more pre-programmed Quick Shot flight modes.
