I've owned the Mini 3 and have never had a problem with wind. I've flown it at the Cliff of Moher, Dolomites, Norway's Fjords and Swiss Alps and never had a problem. I do highly recommend the extra batteries tho. Also another tip, if you have the obstacle sensors turned on, remember you will over ride it with this drone by keeping your finger full force on the toggle. I learned the hard way. Ended up crashing it in a forest but was still able to find it with the GPS it provides.
I don't have the edited pics, but here's some examples.

The DJI Mini 3 with RC screen controller stands out as a compact drone with a better camera than the Mini 2 and smooth flying in normal conditions. Dusk flights are described as trouble free, and the screen controller adds convenience. Wind resistance remains the main limitation, with Mini 2 experience showing wind alerts and visible struggle on breezy days, especially near the beach. Low light flying can also be risky on the Mini 2, and the Amazon DJI Store listing may route through third party sellers rather than DJI itself. A capable travel drone if wind and seller details are not deal breakers.

Common Questions (5)

  • The Mini 3 is reported to fly well, but wind resistance is still a concern for this class of drone. Mini 2 owners describe wind alerts and visible struggling on breezy days, with beach flying essentially a no-go.

  • It can be flown at dusk, and one Mini 3 owner reported no issues in low light. A Mini 2 owner reported severe problems at dusk/night, including drifting into a building and repeated GPS calibration prompts, so low-light flying may be riskier on older models.

  • The ban affects future DJI models, not existing ones like the Mini 3. Existing owners may still face slower or harder-to-get firmware updates, repairs, batteries, and spare parts over time.

  • The Amazon "DJI Store" page can route to third-party sellers rather than DJI's own store. Some third-party orders have gone through fine, but shoppers should verify the seller before buying.

  • The Mini 3 does not include obstacle sensors on the base model, and that is a practical limitation for buyers who want extra collision protection. One commenter specifically said obstacle sensors were a must-have feature.

My point is that you have to be a little skeptical about a backordered DJI drone at B&H ever coming in. I wanted to buy this drone from them but ended up taking a chance on one of the shady vendors on Amazon. Luckily everything seemed okay with the order.
Regarding B&H I ordered the Avata 2 Fly More Combo before Christmas because it was too good of a deal to pass up. It was on backorder but shipped two days ago. It is supposed to be delivered tomorrow.
Since I wasn't sure we would even get it I also ordered from Amazon before Christmas. It was the official DJI store on Amazon. It was the same price as B&H. It shipped and we got it a few days after Christmas.
I'm glad the one from B&H shipped because we will keep it too. This Avata 2 with Googles N3 (because some in our family wear glasses and the N3 supports that) is some of the best fun we have ever had. It is simply amazing doing FPV flying. The video recording quality is superb.
If you have any desire to get into FPV flying the Avata 2 is fantastic. It is our first "real" drone and we love it!

Pretty sure the "DJI Store" on Amazon is just a marketing page - not like buying from the actual DJI Online Store. If you click through, you're typically shown a product sold by a third party. That said, some of the third parties seem to be fine.

I actually tried to buy DJI Care for my 2-year-old Air 3 two days ago from DJI official website, but got notice saying I couldn't. I then called DJI, and the representative told me DJI no longer sell warranty due to US gov ban. You might want to take this into consideration.

Parts for banned droned will likely be impossible for DJI to import, meaning if you have an issue with your drone, it'll be trash. Just something to keep in mind.

Same. My mini 2 handled the wind very well. I've never tried flying in wind above 25 mph though.Epic shots.

I'd be surprised if B&H gets any more units to sell. I think the ban means no more deliveries from DJI to the U.S., so vendors only have their current stock to sell.
In stock currently at B&H. They've restocked some other models, too. Was a good window of opportunity for the third parties, though.
