All new DJI Mini 3

If you're looking for a starter drone, I highly recommend checking out theall-new DJI Mini 3 , the successor to the highly popularMini 2 , and an entry-level version of the very capableMini 3 Pro .

Also: The 2022 M2 Apple iPad Pro is my (drone) copilot

I make no secret of the fact that out of all my drones, the Mini 3 Pro is my favorite (yes, even beating theMavic 3 ). I like the portability and freedom that the compact sub-249g drone offers.

The Mini 3 takes many of the good bits of the Mini 3 Pro, adds more battery life, and drops the starting price by$200.
