The much-awaited announcement of the release of the DJI Mini 3 Pro has now been made. The DJI Mini 3 Pro had been on the rumor mill lately with a raft of details relating to the drone popping up. Interestingly, most of the rumors relating to the drone have been proved to be correct.

The DJI Mini 3 Pro is a pretty lightweight drone that offers several impressive features. The DJI Mini 3 Pro’s 249g weight allows the device to be deployed without a license in many jurisdictions. The Mini 3 Pro comes with substantial improvements in its camera capabilities and it is compact. The Mini 3 Pro’s camera can shoot 48MP photos and 4K videos in HDR. The maneuverability of the DJI Mini 3 Pro is brought to focus as it can also shoot vertical images and videos.

The DJI Mini 3 Pro has an improved battery that offers a flight time of 30 minutes. The standard battery pack of the Mini 3 Pro can be further extended to deliver a flight time of 47 minutes. The flipside of using a bigger battery is that the drone will weigh above 249g. True to rumors, the Mini 3 Pro will feature ActiveTrack, a tri-directional obstacle sensing technology. The drone, with its obstacle-avoiding technology, can be easily operated by even amateurs.

The DJI Mini 3 Pro is already available for pre-order and will cost $669 for the base model. There is an intermediate model with a DJI RC-N1 remote which costs $759. However, the flagship model of the DJI Mini 3 Pro comes with the DJI RC controller and this package costs $909. The DJI RC is an improved version of its previous controllers and it has a 5.5-inch display. There are still some grey areas relating to global availability and retail details.

Drone makers, especially DJI had been in the spotlight during the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis. Drones continue to play a critical role in the execution of the war from both sides. The pressure on DJI to stop supplying the Russian and Ukrainian war machines led it to suspend supplies and support to both countries.

An unboxing video and retail post of the DJI Mini 3 Pro have provided insights about the drone. The official specs and other marketing details of the DJI Mini 3 Pro could be out within days. The latest details come from a YouTube video showing the unboxing of the new drone and its controller.

DJI tweeted a teaser this week for a big announcement on May 10. Remarkably, the YouTube video unboxing of the Mini 3 Pro and the DJI tweet was released on the same day. The video was made by DM Productions and noted that the footage was received from an early recipient of the new drone. The video shows lots of the external features that feature in the new drone. There are several obstacle avoidance sensors in the DJI Mini 3 Pro.

The Controller of the DJI Mini 3 Pro seems to follow the same design as that of the RC Pro. However, it comes with some observable omissions and modifications. There are no visible antennas sticking out in the Mini 3 Pro’s controller, unlike the RC Pro. A few buttons and ports are also absent from the new controller. There could still be some twists in the plot, which was the theme of DJI’s tweet relating to the Mini 3 Pro. It is speculated that the Mini 3 Pro users can switch seamlessly between shooting in landscape and portrait format, which could be interesting. The drone will also be able to shoot vertical content, which is also an added advantage.

A previous leak has stated that the DJI Mini 3 Pro will weigh less than 0.25kg and will cost around $1,000. The camera setup of the Mini 3 Pro is also expected to have substantial improvements over its predecessors. It has a much bigger sensor and the lens offers a wider aperture for its 4K 60fps videos. The DJI Mini 3 Pro is rumored to have a 2,453mAh battery and front-facing avoidance detection capabilities. It will be interesting to see what is left of the details when the official announcement is made on May 10.
