I have one of these and it's a great starter drone. I got mine from someone who has a ton of drone piloting experience over several drones and he said this is probably the high end best bang for the buck for a noob. I'm an amateur myself and found it pretty easy to get it in the air. The hardest part is the prep with creating a DJI account and the setup process. Just note it doesn't have collision avoidance so it will let you fly it into a tree or whatever. The next step up "Pro" model does but it costs way more than this.

Recommend getting a case and additional battery or two. Don't recommend the blade guards. Got them to fly indoors but feel it's too big to safely play around inside the house.

Every DJI drone that has been release up until early this year is fine. It's new DJI drones being sold going forward that are at risk of not receiving FCC approval.

Community Reviews

The Mini 3 stands out as a beginner friendly drone with strong value, especially in the DJI RC bundles that include a built in screen and avoid phone setup. The controller with screen is praised for making flying quicker to set up and more convenient, and the Fly More combo adds extra batteries, a charger, and a case. It is also described as easy to get airborne and capable of solid range. Main caveats are the lack of collision avoidance, the need for DJI account and setup steps, and some packaging or listing concerns around missing controllers or broken seals.

Common Questions (4)

  • No. The cheaper RC-N1 bundle uses your phone as the display, while the DJI RC bundle includes the built-in screen controller. The title image can be misleading because the pictured controller is not included with every option.

  • Yes, if you buy the bundle with the DJI RC controller. That remote has a built-in screen and runs the DJI app, so you do not need to connect a phone.

    wingman1659ernikhiljedhekdupuis77

  • Yes. It is easy to get airborne and is described as a strong starter drone, but it has no collision avoidance, so it can still hit trees or other obstacles. A case and extra batteries are commonly recommended for new owners.

    RoborMo0eY

  • The listed Mini 3 price is $299 for the drone and $499 for the Fly More Combo with DJI RC, with free shipping. The coupon must be clipped while logged in and is typically one-time use.

If you get the remote with a screen, yes.
Will you need a smartphone and the app for the initial setup or can you literally pull it out of the box and start flying with the remote?

You can still buy, and fly, current stock. That doesn't change the fact they're a security risk.

Not sure why you get downvoted for asking a legit question, since it was just on the news that DJI is being banned in the US. Lol...never change, Slickdeals!
So what brand is a good replacement for DJI then? Ive been thinking of getting a drone but not sure how much i'd actually use it compared to the cost. Also trying to keep up with FAA rules could be too much hassle. If I end up getting one.. what are the brands to look at?

For those reading this comment and debating, I'd lean towards the Neo 2 over the Mini 3 for a beginner's drone. Object detection, a much better distance using your phone as the remote control, brades won't break since there's guards, better tracking. The downside is the battery life, but if you're just beginning, the 20 minutes is fine.

Also there's one more being released that just made the cut possibly lito.
