BEST BUDGET DRONE - 🇺🇸

This is the drone I’m reviewing in the video—the DJI Mini 3. For the money, you get a tiny 249g package with great battery life, HDR video, RAW photos, and native vertical shooting, which is wild value if you’re just getting into drones.

Pros

+Native vertical 4K30 with no crop
+HDR video looks cleaner than Mini 2/2 SE/Mini 4K
+RAW photo support for more editing flexibility
+Great battery life and portability

Cons

-8-bit only (no 10-bit), so grading is more limited
-No log footage
-No obstacle avoidance sensors (only bottom sensors)
-Struggles more in high wind and low light due to size/sensor
