Tweets from a source that has proved reliable in the past,@DealsDrone, have this week leaked visuals of the DJI Mini 3, a new compact drone with a gimbal-stabilized camera that we’re now expecting to see hover over the horizon imminently.
The new release from the Chinese drone specialists, manufacturers of thebest droneson the market today, would come fresh on the heels of theDJI Mavic 3 Classic, which was launched last month, and it’s expected to essentially replace theDJI Mini 2, now more than two years old.
However, as is also logical, the new drone appears to share more DNA with theDJI Mini 3 Pro, which arrived in May 2022. Indeed, if the leaked graphics are legit (as they appear to be) the DJI Mini 3 seems to have the exact same chassis as the DJI Mini 3 Pro (pictured above and below).

So, what are the key differences? The quick answer to that question is, weight and price point - both of which are expected to be significantly lower.
Just like the Pro, the DJI Mini 3 looks lean and mean and will almost certainly weigh less than 250g, making it a great beginner drone for pilots still earning their wings with a camera drone.
However, there is a clear difference in the profile of the the DJI Mini 3 around theexcellent camera gimbal, which indicates that it will not have the front-facing obstacle sensors that feature on its Pro bro.
Presumably this will keep both the weight and the cost down, although it will still likely be a premium product and we don’t expect it to fly straight into thebudget dronezone.
