The DJI mini 3 Pro may come with some substantial upgrades over its non-pro predecessor, including obstacle avoidance sensors and a larger battery. Leaked images and a video of the new drone were posted online.
The DJI Mini 2 only has ground detection sensors. There are two large sensors on the front of the device to help avoid obstacles, as well as two downward-facing sensors to prevent ground collisions.
The leak shows a lens with a maximum f/1.7, which should result in a brighter image and improved low-light performance. The camera’s mounted to a new three-axis gimbal that’s placed off to one side, potentially allowing users to shoot vertical videos suitable for posting on social platforms.
The DJI mini 3 Pro has a 2,250 mAh battery and a flight time of 31 minutes. The leak indicates an upgraded 2,453mah battery.
The DJI mini 3 Pro will still maintain its sub-250 gram weight. It’s unclear whether it will drop its entry-level price tag.
