The FIMI Mini 3 is a significant step forward in the sub-250g drone category, positioning itself as a high-value rival to the DJI Mini series. It balances high-end imaging with portability, making it an excellent choice for hobbyists and travel creators.
Quick Review: FIMI Mini 3
1. Exceptional Imaging for its Size
The standout feature is the Sony 1/2-inch 48MP sensor. Unlike many budget mini drones, the Mini 3 supports 4K video at 60fps, providing the smooth, high-frame-rate footage usually reserved for larger drones. The AI Super Night Video mode also surprisingly improves low-light performance by reducing noise, a common weak point for small sensors.
2. Travel-Friendly & Regulation-Ready
Weighing in at just under 245g–249g (depending on the battery), this drone falls into the category that does not require registration or permits in most regions (like the FAA in the US). Its foldable, smartphone-sized design makes it effortless to pack for hikes or vacations.
3. Solid Flight Performance
-
Transmission: The SoLink system offers a range of up to 9km with low latency, providing a stable HD feed even in moderately cluttered environments.
-
Stability: A true 3-axis mechanical gimbal ensures buttery-smooth cinematic shots, even when dealing with Level 5 wind resistance.
-
Battery Life: You get roughly 32 minutes of flight time (standard battery), with a “Plus” battery option extending that even further. The inclusion of USB-C fast charging directly on the battery is a major convenience for charging on the go.
4. Smart Features
The drone includes reliable GPS-based features like Auto Return to Home, Waypoints, and Smart Tracking. While it lacks 360-degree obstacle avoidance (common at this price point), the “Optical Flow” and “ToF” sensors help keep it stable during low-altitude and indoor flights.
Pros & Cons
Pros: High-quality 4K/60fps video and 48MP photos.
-
Excellent low-light performance for a mini drone.
-
No registration required in most countries (sub-250g).
-
Convenient USB-C charging.
Cons: * No obstacle avoidance sensors (requires careful flying).
-
App interface can be less polished than DJI’s.
Final Thought
If you want DJI Mini 3 Pro-level video specs (4K/60fps) without the DJI price tag, the FIMI Mini 3 is currently one of the best “bang-for-your-buck” drones on the market.

The drone arrived in excellent condition, very satisfied with the product. It arrived in eight calendar days. The seller was super attentive. Congratulations to Fimi for having products here in Brazil, where I didn’t have to pay any import tax, only the actual cost. Congratulations to the seller who fulfilled a dream with seriousness and commitment.

Unfortunately, I see that in a country not very friendly with imports, the final value of the gift with taxes would be more expensive than a DJI Mini 4 Pro with the screen controller, so I had to request a return of the item to the seller.

Works perfectly, took it out today to fly, had 50% battery, flew about 15 minutes. The app works amazing, the controller is very good quality and feels amazing to control. When i flew it there was some wind and it had no problem controlling. The camera has amazing 4k quality and the app is very intuitive. I recommend this drone
Reiko Jeanlouis –
Received with proper packaging and fully sealed. Overall it is in good condition, now we need to test it.
Benoît Cortot –
Best buy definitely! Payed in spain ~7e of fees, arrived in 2 weeks.
Works perfectly, over 30 min of normal fluing, without severe wind..
The only bad things are:
1. there is no bumper for protecting propellers when folded, and
2. the gimbal protector doesn’t cover the camera and it is so tricky that i beleive i will damage the gimbal or camera by removing and attaching it!
Realy need to find alternative and fast.

Excellent drone. Easy to use. Image quality is excellent. It’s fast and the battery has good endurance. The control signal could be a little better, but for the price it’s very good. It arrived at my home in Chile in less than a week.

I have tested the drone, everything works perfectly, I am still learning to fly it. I found the quality good for an intermediate entry-level product.
I recommend!

I got the mini 3 for €200. For this price, it’s absolutely great. It holds the horizon perfectly, color rendition and video quality are at a good level. If you’re thinking about getting it, it’s better to pay extra and take the Mini 3. The SE version is just so-so, even for enthusiasts.
