This thing rocks in every way. I was never into drones, but putty my house on the market and needed drone shots of the land. One guy quoted me $150 for just pictures. I was like heck I can buy a drone and learn to fly it for less than that. I got one of those cheapy no name ones on here for like $80 well you get what you pay for. It wouldn't stay connected to take pics would blow around with the wind sent it back. Said forget it spend the money buy the good stuff. It cost about 10x as much but was worth every cent. This thing is amazing. Pictures are gorgeous. Super easy to fly and figure out. Doing the test run with the cheapy one probably didn't hurt any though. But this dji mini 3 is spectacular. My only gripes about it which may be theyll change on future versions. 1. I wish you could zoom out the camera, yes you can fly further away but I was scared to take it that far first run or that high. 2. I wish you could record and take pics while recording like you can do on some cell phones. If there is a way to do this I couldn't figure it out. 3. It's got this booster pack to charge 3 batteries, but it will only charge them one at a time and with a USB cord, you have to provide your own plug. For this much money it should come with a plug, or even better straight plug to an outlet and charge all 3 at once.
Some tips, watch a YouTube video or two of starting out. Do not plan to use it the day you get it. All the batteries need to charge up to become active (probably overnight) and you have to set up an account, register stuff, downloads firm ware updates and install them. So set up to start takes maybe an hour and first charge of all the batteries and remote like 6-8 hours, I forget how long. But you're not going to open it up and go fly so just a heads up there.
Other than that it's awesome.
