Mini drone comes with new safety features

DJI Mini 3 Pro: small but powerful

€839

DJI’s latest drone may be mini sized but it doesn’t scrimp on features. Weighing in at under 250g, the DJI Mini 3 Pro comes with a bigger sensor and aperture than its predecessor, meaning you can shoot 4K video at 60 frames per second and get better low-light shots. But it also has upgraded safety features, including a powerful obstacle-sensing system that will help you avoid any unscheduled stops. Add in a more streamlined design that allows you to fly for longer without adding extra weight to the overall package — which, by the way, you can fold up and tuck in your pocket — and you have a drone that should appeal to most recreational users. That is, assuming, they can afford the price tag.
