DJI Mini 3 Pro Reviews
Fantastic!

I am a fairly new drone operator, so I haven't had much experience with other DJI drones, but I can definitely say that the Mini 3 pro packs a huge punch. It's extremely easy to use, and the RC remote streamlines the setup and flying process-it makes flying the drone much simpler, without having to hookup your phone. The screen is bright enough to use in direct sunlight. I was also able to customize the controls to my personal preference, which made flying much smoother and simpler.
With the kit, the drone stores nicely in the padded carry bag with the extra batteries, charging dock, and controller. There's a small pocket in the top to store the extra propeller blades and the screwdriver.
The drone itself handles extremely well in a variety of conditions-especially wind. I was able to bring it up and record steady video with sustained winds of 40mph and gusts to 60 mph; it absolutely outperformed my expectations. (I didn't fly it anywhere I couldn't safely retrieve it for the windy flight). During one of my flights, it started drizzling rain, so I brought it back, and landed it without issue, and gave it a wipe down. It didn't have any issues being briefly sprinkled on.
As I was flying in the mountains and valleys, the drone would lose connection to the remote occasionally, and would do exactly as programmed and begin the return to home. It was definitely nerve wracking the first time, but I felt much better knowing that it would perform as designed.
The quality of the video and still photos are also fantastic, and I'm having a lot of fun testing the predetermined flight routes and "Point of interest," to get some some really beautiful shots.
This drone is a wonderful, compact addition to my photography/ videography arsenal, and I could not be happier with the purchase.
It's worth every penny, and it's really nice to have the extra batteries and propellers on hand as part of the kit!

B&H is the best. Incredible customer service. Easy to get a person on the phone. All my experiences with calling in have been great. I will only order from b&h.

This drone was the perfect answer for me to expand my horizon beyond what I could see from my wheelchair. Being a retired professional photographer and now mobility challenged was a creative itch I needed to scratch.
I am delighted with the new DJI Mini 3! Its small sensor camera delivers impressive image quality. Thank you DJI and B&H.
As a beginner with drones I highly recommend this unit.
Software problem resolved, now very good

First note this is NOT the RC remote with screen in this particular kit. You still need to use a cell phone with the RC-N1 remote.
Very well packaged on arrival. Unfortunately, my drone would not fly on arrival, showing a gimbal communication error code of 40021. B&H would not accept a return, referring me to DJI. I had checked for firmware updates and none were showing as needed. After talking with DJI, who said I needed to recalibrate the gimbal, I unpacked the drone again and on start-up it did update firmware on the drone. Not sure what I did differently but the error code was gone after the update, I recalibrated the gimbal to be 100% sure, and drone functioned fine.
Very small when folded up, and light. Although I did buy a hard case from another source, the included little bag is pretty good. Unobtrusive and stealthy, yet holds the entire kit. Charger does its job.
Easy to fly. Very stable for such a small object in the Texas winds. Fun to fly and I look forward to getting some good photos and videos.
I fell for the 249g marketing hype though. Getting a larger machine may make sense for you, because if you are a recreational flyer the only difference is a $5 registration fee. If, like me, you plan to use footage on YT which is arguably commercial use if you are or will be monetized on YT, you have to register sub-249g drones anyway! Plus get a series 107 license but that's another story. So you might want to opt for the fly-more kit with the bigger batteries which will take you over 249 grams and just register the drone.
Video and photo quality look more than good enough for me from the Mini 3. But getting a bigger drone might get you a bigger camera sensor, larger and hence more stable drone, better flight duration and more obstacle avoidance functionality. None of this seems lacking to me in any material respect on the Mini 3, you just can get somewhat better if you want or need it.
Overall recommend this equipment, but minus one star for the initial software problem and B&H's less than stellar customer service response.
Don't forget to buy a micro SD card for the drone if you need one.

This is an amazing drone. This is my first time owning a drone, it's incredibly user friendly and takes incredible photos and video. B&H shipped it faster than I was expecting and has very good customer service. I would recommend you guys and will continue to order from the website.

I put in a request to be notified when a
DJI Mini 3 Pro with RC-N1 Remote would be available for purchase. B&H faithfully kept me informed about coming sale and when it arrived they alerted me and I bought two. The drones work as shown on the web site and I cannot be happier with the help, timing, courtesy and prices provided by
B&H.

Great little drone, full of features, very portable, amazing product.
The RC controller (with the screen), it's amazing!
Very bright screen, very light in weight, and with great ergonomics that makes it feel great in your hands.
B&H Photo always provides the best customer supports, fast shipping, and great prices.
I am very happy with my new DJI Mini 3 Pro.
Better than expected

Awesome. I've been wanting to get into the drone scene for a while, but was waiting for that perfect sweet spot between price, size and specs. The entire fly more kit plus fits in my camera backpack with room for a Sony mirrorless and extra lens. And the image is impressive - I doubt most people would be able to tell the difference between the Mini 3 and some of DJI's bigger drones. Overall, very happy with the purchase.
