DJI is at it again, bringing technology from its bigger, more expensive products down to its diminutive sub-250-gram DJI Mini 3 Pro<\/a> drone, which means you don’t need a license to fly it in the US and other jurisdictions. This makes it an excellent high-end drone to start with, or for those who just want to learn how drone flying works. <\/p>\n

For in-depth coverage of this the DJI Mini 3 Pro<\/a>, hit up our coverage on DroneDJ: DJI Mini 3 Pro review<\/a>, DJI Mini 3 Pro<\/a>: Top 10 things to know<\/a><\/em>, and coverage of the new DJI Remote Controller<\/a>. <\/p>\n

DJI Mini 3 Pro – Features from bigger drones in 249g package<\/h2>\n

Until now, you’ve needed bigger drones like the $999 Air 2S<\/a> and $2,000 Mavic 3<\/a> to get some of the features launching with the DJI Mini 3. <\/p>\n

FocusTrack Suite:<\/strong>
– Spotlight 2.0 <\/strong>Keeps the subject in frame while you fly manually.
– Point of Interest 3.0<\/strong> Circles the subject in a set flight radius and speed.
– ActiveTrack 4.0<\/strong> Follows the subject in two selectable ways.
# Trace:<\/strong> The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant distance.
# Parallel: <\/strong>The aircraft tracks the subject while flying beside it at a constant
angle and distance. <\/p>\n

QuickShots<\/strong>
– Dronie<\/strong>: Aircraft flies back and up with the camera locked on the subject.
– Helix<\/strong>: Aircraft flies up and spirals around the subject.
– Rocket<\/strong>: Aircraft flies up with the camera facing down.
– Circle<\/strong>: Aircraft circles around the subject.
– Boomerang<\/strong>: Aircraft flies around the subject in an oval path, ascending as it flies
away and descending as it returns.
– Asteroid<\/strong>: Aircraft creates a shot that begins as a sphere panorama high above
the subject and ends with a normal shot hovering near the subject. <\/p>\n

* MasterShots<\/strong>: Keeps the subject in the center of the frame while executing different
maneuvers in sequence to generate a short cinematic video.
* Hyperlapse: <\/strong>Creates a dynamic timelapse where the aircraft flies on set paths during
capture. <\/p>\n

DJI Mini 3 Pro’s major flaw:<\/h2>\n

Here’s an example of the Mini 3 flying alongside and around the Rivian R1T <\/a>using Active Track 4.0<\/p>\n
