Seems to be the cheapest price going at the moment for the Mini 3 with the DJI RC Controller (has the built in screen - so no phone required).
Purchased to replace my original Mavic Pro (which admittedly hasn't had much use of late).
The built in screen should make it quicker and easier to use, along with the benefit of the sub 250g weight class.

DJI Mini 3 and RC Controller details:

  • Lightweight and Compact: Mini 3 weighs under 249 g. Perfect for taking with you on your adventures, from hikes, road trips, and beach days.

  • Extended Battery Life: With up to 38 minutes of battery life, you can take Mini 3 out at every stop along the way or fly long flights without worrying about the battery.

  • Stunning Imagery: Film in 4K HDR Video for crystal clear aerial shots. Capture details in highlights and shadows, both day and night.
    Capture Height, Be Social: With True Vertical Shooting, you can easily capture tall landmarks like skyscrapers and waterfalls. And after capturing, it's in the perfect orientation to post to Instagram or TikTok.

  • Focus on the moment: Epic shots are at your fingertips. Use QuickShots to choose dynamic flight patterns or capture a stunning view with Panorama.

  • Flying is a Breeze: Don't let a little wind get in your way. Mini 3 is resistant to 38kph winds (level 5), so you can stay steady and capture your shot.

Includes the new DJI RC, which has the DJI Fly App pre-installed and a built-in 5.5-inch HD display for crisp viewing even in direct sunlight.

    Great price, keen to find a fly more set for under $800

    • edfoo on 19/06/2024 - 10:45

      Yes, I bought one with Fly More combo (not the Plus batteries because I want to keep the drone under 250g) from Amazon last week for $839. It is replacing my aging Phantom 3 Advanced which cost me nearly $2K.

      • IrisKyd on 19/06/2024 - 10:52

        I saw same price on DJI’s own website. Was wondering if it’s a good price.

        Nobody is walking around with a clipboard weighing drones. This is from my experience flying basically every other weekend. Always go for the Fly More Combo Plus. Massive quality of life improvement.

          Sure, but I never want this to be a reason just in case a ranger checking up on me one day. Plus I don't fly 30 minutes with each flight anyway.

          • khrome on 19/06/2024 - 15:47

            @edfoo: I believe you aren't allowed to fly a drone in a national park in several states so a ranger won't be an issue. However if he does, just land the drone a kilometre away and tell him you lost it. Use your fine me function on the drone to either locate it or fly it back to you.

            • edfoo on 19/06/2024 - 19:07

              @khrome: Of course I know you are not allowed to fly in most national parks.
              As for trying the trick of landing far away when approach by a ranger, it is not always convenient when your drone is over a water or some dense bush. I just want as stress-free flying experience as possible.

              • khrome on 19/06/2024 - 19:11

                @edfoo: So if you're not flying in a national park then you won't have problems with a ranger and it doesn't matter if your drone is over 249g.

                • edfoo on 19/06/2024 - 22:37

    Great price but this is missing a few key features. Need the Pro model for it.

    • No obstacle avoidance
    • No focus track - can't select yourself in the frame and have the drone follow you around
    • No master shots - automatic aerial photography and post-editing
    • No hyperlapse - can't create timelapse videos
    • siuol on 19/06/2024 - 10:50

    • edfoo on 19/06/2024 - 10:51

      It also cannot shoot in 4K60, only in 4K30. Max video bitrate of 100Mbps instead of 150Mbps in the 3 Pro. It does not have D-cine colour profile.
      But not everyone want or need all the above features. Also Mini 3 Pro has been sold out in most places, DJI no longer list it in their website in Australia. DJI want people just spend more and buy the Mini 4 Pro instead.

      Thanks for the info, funny how my spark has most of those functions and was 4 generations ago. Still amazing price for a great drone

      • littlesoldier on 19/06/2024 - 11:10
        +4

        yea, still remember when DJI introduce spark years ago
        I believe DJI originally only put these advance features in Mavic Pro series and leave the Mini series to lower price points
        but since there are many more countries impose drone flying license the 250g rules become a golden standard of new drones
        and DJI put those pro features to Mini Pros

    • littlesoldier on 19/06/2024 - 11:06

      I used to have obstacle avoidance and auto-tracking when owning the original Mavic Pro
      but moved onto Mini 1 and found that I only fly in open space anyway, so able to live without them
      probably a decision of price vs features

    • Jonzay on 19/06/2024 - 11:07

      No focus track

      What? This was a feature in the Mavic Pro 1, how is it not standard this many iterations in?

      • littlesoldier on 19/06/2024 - 11:13

        obstacle avoidance and tracking have to be go in parallel
        otherwise drone will easily get crashed while following object
        Mini series is a lower grade tier to Pro series (even Mavic Pro was establish many years ago)

  • mreddie on 19/06/2024 - 10:50

    How many batteries do you get in the kit?

    • littlesoldier on 19/06/2024 - 11:22

      only 1 for this (which can fly max 38mins)
      if you get the combo you get 3 and the multi-batteries charger

  • bob98 on 19/06/2024 - 10:54

        • ninohax on 19/06/2024 - 11:51

          And I am presuming that is without the RC controller(With Screen)? If yes did you already have an RC controller handy?

          • bob98 on 19/06/2024 - 12:06

            @ninohax: rc controller with screen 4 batterys 1 being the bigger one. pack of 4 pgytech lens filters and a hard case. forgot about my sd cards so and extra $50 for 2x128gb sandisks

  • Mazozb on 19/06/2024 - 11:48

    Thanks OP. Got one thru the eBay listing. Decided the tracking and avoidance thing is not really worth me spending 1.5-2x this price on a pro. Especially since my first drone and just want it to record the kids in open space, check solar, and whatever else uses I can find for it (except collecting dust).

    • ninohax on 19/06/2024 - 12:03

      Same thought. The Pro is just way too expensive compared to this one even though I would have liked collision avoidance because without it Return to Home Feature just wouldn't work well. DJI being the monopoly just prices products as they wish to.

      • bob98 on 19/06/2024 - 12:07

        it works extremely well for just having front and back sensors. but if your going to pay extra for collision avoidance id be looking at mini 4 pro deals with the 360 avoidance

  • ninohax on 19/06/2024 - 13:03

    Not really sure if it was the right decision but pulled the trigger. Going to be my first ever drone. Hopefully I won't regret it in the years to come.

    • Mazozb on 19/06/2024 - 15:38
      +1

      We in the same boat. I think for a first drone it's more than good enough (if you were contemplating pro version for extra features). Considering most people say it ends up hardly being used lol

      • ninohax on 19/06/2024 - 17:53

        yea definitely don't want to be spending $1000+ on a thing that I will most likely rarely use.

  • martinezjpo on 19/06/2024 - 13:08

    That's tempting. Considering whether or not to upgrade from my Mini 1.

    Should I go for this or is it worth paying more for the 4? They feel so similar.

    • littlesoldier on 19/06/2024 - 13:47

      I just decided to buy this to upgrade my Mini 1 Combo
      Mini 3 have significant improvement in range than Wifi (in Mini 1)
      Signal is also more reliable and stable as OcuSync auto change less congested channels while flying
      video quality has also improved quite a lot

      The RC screen controller is also great addon compare to using phone for drone control screen

    • edfoo on 19/06/2024 - 19:10

      Definitely a significant upgrade from Mini 1 to Mini 3. Not so from Mini 2.

  • caitsith01 on 19/06/2024 - 13:09

    Have they fixed the "defocused corners" issue with the camera on these?

  • browser on 19/06/2024 - 13:22

    This is a good deal, the controller itself is worth $300.

    How about battery? It is 2022 drone, more than 2 years old. The battery could degrade in 2 years, no? Or they keep producing it and it is fresh from DJI factory?

    • edfoo on 20/06/2024 - 10:00

      I don't think the drone, remote controller and batteries were manufactured in 2022 and been sitting on the shelves for past 2 years.

    • niiko on 20/06/2024 - 10:34

      chatgpt here to help:

      Estimating the exact capacity loss for a DJI Mini 3 drone battery that has been on the shelf for two years without use can be challenging, as it depends on various factors such as storage conditions and initial battery quality. However, based on general knowledge of lithium polymer (LiPo) battery behavior, we can make some educated guesses:

      1. General LiPo Battery Degradation: LiPo batteries typically lose around 3-5% of their capacity per year even when not in use, due to calendar aging. This is under ideal storage conditions (cool, dry place, stored at 50% charge).

      2. Shelf Conditions: If the battery was stored in less-than-ideal conditions (e.g., high temperatures, fully charged, or fully discharged), the capacity loss could be higher. In such cases, the annual capacity loss could be closer to 5-10%.

      Considering these points, for a two-year-old battery, the capacity loss could be estimated as follows:
      - Ideal Conditions: Approximately 6-10% capacity loss (3-5% per year).
      - Less-Than-Ideal Conditions: Approximately 10-20% capacity loss (5-10% per year).

      So, for a two-year-old DJI Mini 3 drone battery, you might expect a capacity loss in the range of 6-20%, with the lower end of the range representing ideal storage conditions and the higher end representing suboptimal storage conditions.
