Should you buy DJI's new Air 3, or go for the smaller and cheaper but older Mini 3 Pro?
we suggest 20 to 25 minutes is a more accurate estimate. Being a smaller, lighter drone has its advantages on a still day, but when the Mini 3 Pro has to work against swirling winds its battery life can quickly fall. The Mini 3 Pro can be fitted with a larger battery in some markets , which extends flight time to 47 minutes but also pushes its weight over the all-important 250g threshold.
DJI quotes a transmission distance of 20km for the Air 3 at 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second, which is an improvement over the 12km at 1080p and 30 fps for the Mini 3 Pro. You're unlikely to fly your drone that far from the controller, but a greater transmission distance means video should stream to the Air 3’s controller more reliably in challenging, signal-blocking environments like dense woodland.
Both also have DJI’s MasterShots function for creating professional-level videos with minimal effort. But only the Air 3 has a system for flying between pre-programed waypoints, while only the Mini 3 Pro can rotate its camera 90 degrees to natively record portrait videos for social media platforms like Instagram Stories.
This is significantly more expensive than the Mini 3 Pro, which costs $759 / £709 / AU$989 for a kit that includes the drone, a battery and the RC-N1 controller.
