This also comes with a notable rise in price, which means some beginners may want to hunt down a DJI Mini 2 deal while they are still available. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\"\/>\n<p>The two drones are also going to feel fairly similar to use, because unlike a high-end drone with an advanced sensor system the DJI Mini 3 only has downward-facing sensors.  This rules out more advanced automated routing modes, as without the right sensors the drone can&#8217;t tell if it&#8217;s about to careen into a tree. <\/p>\n<p>For those, you&#8217;ll want the DJI Mini 3 Pro.  However, as the cheaper alternative, the DJI Mini 3 seems a well-balanced update to 2020&#8217;s Mini 2. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"dji-mini-3-vs-dji-mini-2-price\">DJI Mini 3 vs DJI Mini 2: price<\/h2>\n<p>The DJI Mini 3 costs significantly more than the DJI Mini 2, but DJI has found a way to partially hide that fact for those looking to upgrade from the old model. <\/p>\n<p>It sells the drone with no remote or charger for $469 \/ \u00a3439 \/ AU$699.  This is fairly similar to the original $449 \/ \u00a3419 \/ AU$749 cost of the DJI Mini 2. However, this jumps to $699 \/ \u00a3669 \/ AU$1,019 when you add a remote control.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-table-7\" class=\"slice-container table-wrapper  table-7\">\n<div class=\"table__instruction\">Swipe to scroll horizontally<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 23 30\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M21.554 15.726a2.878 2.878 0 0 0-1.705-.374 2.881 2.881 0 0 0-1.388-3.068 2.877 2.877 0 0 0-1.992-.333 2.884 2.884 0 0 0-.1-.766 2.865 2.865 0 0 0-1.346-1.75c-.47-.27-.996-.4-1.527-.385l2.742-4.73a2.87 2.87 0 0 0 .323-.83h2.612V2.084h-2.661A2.861 2.861 0 0 0 15.18.385a2.903 2.903 0 0 0-3.952 1.055l-.373.644H2.983l1.003-1L2.99.09 1.28 1.793l-.999.995L2.99 5.484l.998-.994-1.003-.999h7.054L6.505 9.586c-.34.066-.905.186-1.523.366-1.405.41-2.321.895-2.8 1.483-.742.911-1.159 2.513-1.277 4.898l-.001.01c-.067 1.816.946 6.943.99 7.16a.688.688 0 0 0 1.35-.266c-.01-.051-1.023-5.177-.963-6.84.127-2.556.598-3.64.97-4.098.133-.163.602-.587 2.104-1.027l.206-.058-1.425 2.458a.685.685 0 0 0 .252.937c.33.19.75.077.94-.251L12.42 2.126a1.52 1.52 0 0 1 2.07-.552c.35.2.6.527.705.916.105.39.051.797-.15 1.145l-4.767 8.222a.685.685 0 0 0 .252.937c.33.19.75.077.94-.25l.794-1.368c.201-.348.529-.597.92-.702a1.508 1.508 0 0 1 1.854 1.066c.105.39.052.796-.15 1.144l-.377.652-.002.002-.898 1.55a.685.685 0 0 0 .252.938c.329.189.75.077.94-.251l.9-1.551c.201-.348.528-.597.92-.702a1.512 1.512 0 0 1 1.703 2.21l-1.223 2.11a.685.685 0 0 0 .252.938c.33.189.75.076.941-.252l.5-.862c.202-.348.529-.597.92-.702.392-.104.8-.051 1.15.15.723.416.972 1.34.554 2.06l-3.525 6.08c-.517.892-1.57 1.795-3.044 2.611-1.156.64-2.163.998-2.173 1.002a.685.685 0 0 0 .23 1.333.688.688 0 0 0 .229-.04c.18-.062 4.419-1.575 5.952-4.22l3.524-6.08a2.878 2.878 0 0 0-1.059-3.934Z\" fill=\"#333\"\/><\/svg><\/div>\n<div class=\"table__container\">\n<table tabindex=\"0\" class=\"table__wrapper table__wrapper--inbodyContent table__wrapper--sticky table__wrapper--divider\">\n<caption class=\"table__caption table__caption--top table__caption--left\">DJI Mini 3 vs DJI Mini 2 price<\/caption>\n<tbody class=\"table__body\">\n<tr class=\"table__body__row\">\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\"><span class=\"sr-only\">Row 0 &#8211; Cell 0 <\/span><\/td>\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">DJI Mini 3<\/td>\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">DJI Mini 2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"table__body__row\">\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">With standard controller<\/td>\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">$699 \/ \u00a3669 \/ AU$1,019<\/td>\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">$450 \/ \u00a3420 \/ AU$750<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"table__body__row\">\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">With Fly More Combo<\/td>\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">$559 \/ \u00a3678 \/ AU$829<\/td>\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">$599 \/ \u00a3549 \/ AU$949<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Fly More Combo, which includes a bag, charging hub, and two additional batteries, costs $559 \/ \u00a3678 \/ AU$829, to the $599 \/ \u00a3549 \/ AU$949 of the old model.<\/p>\n<p>You may also be able to find Mini 2 packages for less online, now the successor is out.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"dji-mini-3-vs-dji-mini-2-design-and-controller\">DJI Mini 3 vs DJI Mini 2: design and controller<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Both weigh under 250g<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mini 3 is slightly larger than Mini 2<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mini 3 doesn&#8217;t get the most out of DJI RC<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>DJI has not simply taken the Mini 2 shell and updated some of the components.

A DJI Mini 3 measures 148\u00d790\u00d762 mm folded, to 138x81x58mm in the last generation. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" alt=\"DJI Mini 3 and DJI Mini 2 compared when folded\" class=\" lazy-image-van\" onerror=\"if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/techradar\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-320-80.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe.jpg\"\/><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" alt=\"DJI Mini 3 and DJI Mini 2 compared when folded\" class=\" lazy-image-van\" onerror=\"if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/techradar\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-1200-80.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe.jpg\"\/><img alt=\"DJI Mini 3 and DJI Mini 2 compared when folded\" class=\" lazy-image-van\" onerror=\"if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\" src=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/techradar\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe-1200-80.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YNMW9QFqq7QmQPRqSNmoMe.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Supported remotes differ in a greater way.

The DJI Mini 2 and Mini 3 only have downward-facing sensors, not the front and back sensors used in the Mini 3 Pro.  This limits the kind of automations that are possible.

It&#8217;s a 1\/1.3-inch sensor, to the 1\/2.3-inch style of the Mini 2, and the lens aperture widens from f\/2.8 to f\/1.7. <\/p>\n<p>Higher native light sensitivity across the sensor and lens means the Mini 3 will hold up better than the Mini 2 at dusk and night.  Video is likely to retain its colors better, have superior detail integrity, and generally look a bit less mushy. <\/p>\n<p>We can say this with a degree of confidence because the DJI Mini 3 Pro has the same specs.  DJI hasn&#8217;t told us the exact sensor used here in the Mini 3, but we&#8217;d be willing to bet it&#8217;s exactly the same hardware as the Pro. <\/p>\n<p>The DJI Mini 3 gains another important feature we saw in the Pro;  &#8220;true vertical shooting&#8221;.

This is only available at frame rates up to 30fps, because it&#8217;s sensor-level HDR, just like that of DJI Mini 3 Pro.  Two exposures are captured per sensor read-out, which helps avoid ghosting and means this is much more than just a software-based tone mapping profile. <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re looking at a fairly major upgrade in the DJI Mini 3, but some crucial parts haven&#8217;t changed.

However, this could also be a processor-related disparity. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"verdict\">Verdict<\/h2>\n<p>The DJI Mini 3 is largely just what it should be.  It improves upon the DJI Mini 2 with some of the hardware advancements of the Mini 3 Pro, without eating that more professional-oriented Mini 3 Pro&#8217;s lunch. <\/p>\n<p>Is it worth upgrading?  Quite possibly, particularly if you are hankering for slightly better image quality in lower light or the ability to shoot portrait video to post on social networks. <\/p>\n<p>However, you shouldn&#8217;t ignore the DJI Mini 3 Pro if you want to take the quality of your B-roll to the next level.
