DJI Mini 3 contains a flight controller, video downlink system, vision systems, infrared sensing system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.

DJI Mini 3 contains a flight controller, video downlink system, downward vision system, infrared sensing system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.

DJI Mini 3 has three flight modes, plus a fourth flight mode that the aircraft switches to in certain scenarios. Flight modes can be switched via the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller.

Normal Mode: The aircraft utilizes GNSS and the Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System to locate itself and stabilize. When the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GNSS to locate itself and stabilize. When the GNSS is weak but the lighting and other environmental conditions are sufficient, it uses the Downward Vision System. When the lighting and other environment conditions are sufficient, the maximum tilt angle is 25° and the maximum flight speed is 1 0 \ : m / s .

Sport Mode: In Sport mode, the aircraft uses GNSS and the Downward Vision System for positioning. In Sport mode, aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to control stick movements. The maximum flight speed reaches 1 6 \ : m / s .

Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode and the flight speed is limited, making the aircraft more stable during shooting. The maximum flight speed is 6 \ : m / s .

The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Downward Vision System is unavailable or disabled and when the GNSS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. In ATTI mode, the aircraft may be more easily affected by its surroundings. Environmental factors such as wind can result in horizontal shifting. The Intelligent flight modes or the Return to Home function cannot be used. The aircraft cannot position itself or brake automatically, which increases the risk of potential flight hazards. To avoid changing to ATTI mode, users should avoid flying in environments with poor GNSS signal or poor lighting condition, and do not fly in confined spaces.

• The maximum speed and braking distance of the aircraft significantly increase in Sport mode. A minimum braking distance of 3 0 m is required in windless conditions
• A minimum braking distance of 1 0 \textrm { m } is required in windless conditions while the aircraft is ascending and descending in Sport mode or Normal mode.
• The responsiveness of the aircraft significantly increases in Sport mode, which means a small control stick movement on the remote controller translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Make sure to maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight.
• The flight speed and attitude are both restricted when the aircraft is flying leftward or rightward to ensure shooting stability. The restriction reaches its maximum when the tilt of the gimbal is \mathfrak { -90°} . If there are strong winds, the restriction will be disabled to improve the wind resistance of the aircraft. As a result, the gimbal may vibrate while shooting.
• Users may experience a minor tremor in videos recorded in Sport mode.

DJI Mini 3 has two aircraft status indicators.

Refer to the table below for more information about the aircraft status indicators.

Aircraft Status Indicator Descriptions

DJI Mini 3 can connect directly to mobile devices via Wi-Fi, enabling users to download photos and videos from the aircraft to the mobile device through DJI Fly without using the DJI RC-N1 remote controller.

Users can enjoy faster and more convenient downloads with a transmission rate of up to 25 MB/s.

Method 1: mobile device is not connected to the DJI RC-N1 remote controller.

1. Power on the aircraft and wait until the self-diagnostic tests of the aircraft are complete. Quickly press the power button three times to switch to QuickTransfer mode. The aircraft status LEDs will blink blue once switching is successful. 2. Make sure Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on the mobile device. Launch DJI Fly and a prompt will appear to connect to the aircraft. 3. Tap Connect. Once successfully connected, the files on the aircraft can be accessed and downloaded at high speed. Note that when connecting the mobile device to the aircraft for the first time, you need to press and hold the power button for two seconds to confirm.

Method 2: mobile device is connected to the DJI RC-N1 remote controller

1. Make sure that the aircraft is connected to the mobile device via the DJI RC-N1 remote controller and the motors have not started. 2. Enable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on the mobile device. 3. Launch DJI Fly, enter playback, and tap $\underline { { \boldsymbol { \mathit { 4 } } } }$ in the upper right corner. Switch to QuickTransfer mode by following the prompts in DJI Fly. Download the files on the aircraft at high speed once switching is complete.

• The maximum download rate can only be achieved in countries and regions where the 5.8 GHz frequency is permitted by laws and regulations, when using devices that support 5.8 GHz frequency band and Wi-Fi connection, and in an environment without interference or obstruction. If 5.8 GHz is not allowed by local regulations (such as in Japan), or the mobile device of the user does not support the 5.8 GHz frequency band, or the environment has severe interference, then QuickTransfer will use the 2.4 GHz frequency band and its maximum download rate will reduce to 6 MB/s.
• Make sure that Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and location services are enabled on the mobile device before using QuickTransfer.
• When using QuickTransfer, it is not necessary to enter the Wi-Fi password on the settings page of the mobile device in order to connect. Launch DJI Fly and a prompt will appear to connect the aircraft.
• Use QuickTransfer in an unobstructed environment with no interference and stay away from sources of interference such as wireless routers, Bluetooth speakers, or headphones.

The Return to Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point when the positioning system is functioning normally. There are three RTH modes: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. The aircraft will automatically fly back and land at the Home Point when Smart RTH is initiated, the aircraft enters Low Battery RTH, or the signal between the remote controller and the aircraft is lost. RTH will also be triggered in other abnormal scenarios such as where video transmission is lost.

If the GNSS signal is sufficient, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point. Smart RTH is initiated either by tapping \textcircled{4} in DJI Fly or by pressing and holding the RTH button on the remote controller. Exit Smart RTH by tapping \otimes in DJI Fly or by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller.

When the Intelligent Flight Battery level is too low and there is not enough power to return home, land the aircraft as soon as possible. Otherwise, the aircraft will fall when it runs out of power, resulting in the aircraft being damaged and other potential hazards.

To avoid unnecessary danger due to insufficient power, DJI Mini 3 will intelligently determine whether the current battery level is sufficient to return home based on the current location. A warning prompt will appear in DJI Fly when the battery level is low and only enough to complete an RTH flight.

The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. If RTH is cancelled following a low battery warning, the Intelligent Flight Battery may not have enough power for the aircraft to land safely. As a result, you may crash or lose your aircraft.

The aircraft will automatically land if the battery level is extremely low. Auto landing cannot be canceled but the remote controller can be used to alter the horizontal movement and the speed of descent of the aircraft during landing.

The aircraft will land automatically if the battery level will only last long enough to directly descend and land from its current altitude. The action cannot be canceled but the remote controller can be used to alter the horizontal movement of the aircraft.

The action the aircraft performs once it loses the remote controller signal can be set as Return to Home, Land, or Hover in DJI Fly. If the action was set as Land or Hover, Failsafe RTH will not be activated. If the action was set as Return to Home in advance, and where the Home Point has been recorded, the GNSS signal is good, and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH will automatically activate once the remote controller signal is lost for more than 11 seconds.

The aircraft will fly backwards for 5 0 ~ m on its original flight route and ascend to the preset RTH altitude to enter Straight Line RTH. The aircraft enters Straight Line RTH if the remote controller signal is restored during Failsafe RTH. When the aircraft flies backwards along the original flight path and the distance from the Home Point is less than { 2 0 } m , the aircraft stops flying backward on the original flight route and enters Straight Line RTH at the current altitude.

There will be a prompt to initiate RTH if the video link signal is lost during flight while the remote controller is still able to control the movements of the aircraft. RTH can be cancelled.

1. The Home Point is recorded. 2. RTH is triggered. 3. If the aircraft is less than { 2 0 } m from the Home Point when RTH begins, it will hover in place and not return to home. If the aircraft is further than { 2 0 } m from the Home Point when RTH begins, it will return home at a horizontal speed of 1 0 . 5 \ : m / s . 4. After reaching the Home Point, the aircraft lands and the motors stop.

• The aircraft cannot return to the Home Point if the GNSS signal is weak or unavailable. The aircraft may enter ATTI mode if the GNSS signal becomes weak or unavailable after entering Failsafe RTH. The aircraft will hover in place for a while before landing.
• It is important to set a suitable RTH altitude before each flight. Launch DJI Fly and set the RTH altitude. In RTH, if the current altitude of the aircraft is lower than the RTH altitude, it will automatically ascend to the RTH altitude first. If the current altitude of the aircraft reaches or is higher than the RTH altitude, it will fly to the Home Point at its current altitude.
• During RTH, the speed and altitude of the aircraft can be controlled using the remote controller if the remote controller signal is normal. However, the aircraft cannot be shifted leftward or rightward. When the aircraft is ascending or flying forward, push the control stick completely in the opposite direction to exit RTH, and the aircraft will brake and hover.
• GEO zones may affect the RTH. Avoid flying near GEO zones.
• The aircraft may not be able to return to the Home Point when the wind speed is too high. Fly with caution.

Landing Protection will activate during Smart RTH.

1. During Landing Protection, the aircraft will automatically detect and carefully land on suitable ground. 2. If the ground is determined unsuitable for landing, DJI Mini 3 will hover and wait for pilot confirmation. 3. If Landing Protection is not operational, DJI Fly will display a landing prompt when the aircraft descends to 0 . 5 m from the ground. Tap confirm or pull down on the throttle stick to land.

DJI Mini 3 is equipped with a Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System. The Downward Vision System consists of one camera and the Infrared Sensing System consists of two 3D infrared modules. The Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System help the aircraft maintain its current position, hover in place more precisely, and to fly indoors or in other environments where GNSS is unavailable.

The Downward Vision System works best when the aircraft is at an altitude of 0 . 5 m to \uparrow 0 \ : m and its operating range is 0 . 5 m to 3 0 m . FOV is 56° (left and right) and 71° (front and back).

When GNSS is unavailable, the Downward Vision System is enabled if the surface has a clear texture and there is sufficient light. The Downward Vision System works best when the aircraft is at an altitude of 0.5 to { 1 0 } \ m . If the altitude of the aircraft is above 1 0 ~ m , the Vision System may be affected. Extra caution is required.

• Pay attention to the flight environment. The Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System only work under limited conditions and cannot replace human control and judgment. During flight, always pay attention to the surrounding environment and to the warnings on DJI Fly and be responsible for and maintain control of the aircraft.
• The aircraft has a max hovering altitude of 5 m if GNSS is unavailable.
• The Downward Vision System may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water. Therefore, the aircraft may not be able to actively avoid water below when landing. It is recommended to maintain flight control at all times, make reasonable judgments based on the surrounding environment, and avoid relying on the Downward Vision System.
• Note that the Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System may not function properly when the aircraft is flying too fast. The Infrared Sensing System only takes effect when the flight speed is no more than 1 2 \ : m / s .
• The Downward Vision System cannot work properly over surfaces that do not have clear pattern variations or there is weak light. The Downward Vision System cannot work properly in any of the following situations. Operate the aircraft cautiously.

a) Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, pure white, pure green). b) Flying over highly reflective surfaces. c) Flying over water or transparent surfaces. d) Flying over moving surfaces or objects. e) Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. f) Flying over extremely dark ( < 1 0 \left. u x \right) ) or bright (> 40,000 lux) surfaces. g) Flying over surfaces that strongly reflect or absorb infrared waves (e.g., mirrors). h) Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. (e.g., power pole). i) Flying over surfaces with repeating identical patterns or textures (e.g., tiles with the same design). j) Flying over obstacles with small surface areas (e.g., tree branches).

• Keep the sensors clean at all times. DO NOT tamper with the sensors. DO NOT use the aircraft in environment with dust and humidity. DO NOT obstruct the Infrared Sensing System.
• DO NOT fly when it is rainy, smoggy, or if there is no clear sight.
• Check the following every time before takeoff:

a) Make sure there are no stickers or any other obstructions over the Infrared Sensing System or Downward Vision System. b) If there is any dirt, dust, or water on the Infrared Sensing System or Downward Vision System, clean with a soft cloth. DO NOT use any cleanser that contains alcohol. c) Contact DJI Support if there is any damage to the glass of the Infrared Sensing System or Downward Vision System.

QuickShots shooting modes include Dronie, Rocket, Circle, Helix, and Boomerang. DJI Mini 3 records according to the selected shooting mode and automatically generates a short video. The video can be viewed, edited, or shared to social media from playback.

Dronie: The aircraft flies backward and ascends with the camera locked on the subject. \hat { \bot } Rocket: The aircraft ascends with the camera pointing downward. \odot Circle: The aircraft circles around the subject. \Cup Helix: The aircraft ascends and spirals around the subject. \hookleftarrow Boomerang: The aircraft flies around the subject in an oval path, ascending as it flies away from its starting point and descending as it flies back. The starting point of the aircraft forms one end of the long axis of the oval, while the other end of its long axis is at the opposite side of the subject from the starting point. Make sure there is sufficient space when using Boomerang. Allow a radius of at least 99 ft ( 3 0 ~ m ) ) around the aircraft and allow at least 33 ft ( 1 0 m ) ) above the aircraft.

1. Make sure that the Intelligent Flight Battery is sufficiently charged. Take off and hover at least 6.6 ft (2 m) above the ground.

2. In DJI Fly, tap the shooting mode icon to select QuickShots and follow the prompts. Make sure that you understand how to use the shooting mode and that there are no obstacles in the surrounding area.

3. Choose a shooting mode, select your target subject in the camera view by tapping the circle on the subject or dragging a box around the subject, and tap Start to begin recording (It is recommended to choose a human as a target subject rather than a building). The aircraft will fly back to its original positon once shooting is finished. 4. Tap to access the short video or the original video. You can edit the video or share to social media after downloading.

Press the Flight Pause/RTH button once or tap \otimes in DJI Fly to exit QuickShots. The aircraft will hover in place.

If you accidentally move a control stick, the aircraft will exit QuickShots and hover in place as well.

• Use QuickShots at locations that are clear of buildings and other obstacles. Make sure that there are no humans, animals, or other obstacles on the flight path.
• Pay attention to objects around the aircraft and use the remote controller to avoid collisions with the aircraft.
• DO NOT use QuickShots in any of the following situations:

a) When the subject is blocked for an extended period or outside the line of sight. b) When the subject is more than 5 0 ~ m ~ away from the aircraft. c) When the subject is similar in color or pattern with the surroundings. d) When the subject is in the air. e) When the subject is moving fast.

f) When the lighting is extremely low ( < 3 0 0 lux) or high (>10,000 lux).

• DO NOT use QuickShots in places that are close to buildings or where the GNSS signal is weak. Otherwise, the flight path will be unstable.
• Make sure to follow local privacy laws and regulations when using QuickShots.

Flight data including flight telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters are automatically saved to the internal data recorder of the aircraft. The data can be accessed using DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series).

There are two types of propellers, which are designed to spin in different directions. Marks are used to indicate which propellers should be attached to which motors. The two blades attached to one motor are the same.

Attach the propellers with marks to the motors of the arm with marks and the unmarked propellers to the motors of the arm without marks. Use the screwdriver from the aircraft package to mount the propellers. Make sure the propellers are secure.

Unmarked Marked

• Make sure to only use the screwdriver from the aircraft package for mounting propellers. Using other screwdrivers may damage the screws.
• Make sure to keep the screws vertical while tightening them. The screws should not be at a tilted angle to the mounting surface. After installation is complete, check whether the screws are flush and rotate the propellers to check for any abnormal resistance.

User the screwdriver from the aircraft package to loosen the screws and detach the propellers from the motors.

• Propeller blades are sharp. Handle with care.
• The screwdriver is only for mounting the propellers. DO NOT use the screwdriver to disassemble the aircraft.
• If a propeller is broken, remove the two propellers and screws on the corresponding motor and discard them. Use two propellers from the same package. DO NOT mix with propellers from other packages.
• Only use official DJI propellers. DO NOT mix propeller types.
• Purchase additional propellers if necessary.
• Make sure that the propellers and motors are installed securely before each flight. Check to make sure the screws on the propellers are tightened after every 30 hours of flying time (approx. 60 flights).
• Make sure all propellers are in good condition before each flight. DO NOT use aged, chipped, or broken propellers.
• To avoid injury, stand clear of and do not touch propellers or motors when they are spinning.

After completing the pre-flight preparation, it is recommended to train your flying skills and practice flying safely. Make sure that all flights are carried out in an open area. Strictly abide by local laws and regulations when flying. Read the Safety Guidelines before flight to ensure the safe use of the product.

1. Do not operate the aircraft in severe weather conditions including wind speeds exceeding 1 0 . 7 \ : m / s , snow, rain, and fog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GNSS system. Therefore, DO NOT take off from a balcony or anywhere within 1 0 \textrm { m } of buildings. Keep a distance of at least 1 0 \textrm { m } from buildings during flight. After takeoff, make sure you are notified with the voice prompt Home Point is updated before continuing flight. If the aircraft has taken off near buildings, the accuracy of the Home Point cannot be guaranteed. In this case, pay close attention to the current position of the aircraft during auto RTH. When the aircraft is close to the Home Point, it is recommended to cancel auto RTH and manually control the aircraft to land at an appropriate location. 3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high-voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water (recommended height is at least 3 m above water). 4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism such as locations near power lines, base stations, electrical substations, and broadcasting towers. 5. The performance of the aircraft and its battery is limited when flying at high altitudes. Fly with caution. The maximum service ceiling above sea level of the aircraft is 4 , 0 0 0 m (13,123 ft) when flying with the Intelligent Flight Battery. If the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus is used, the maximum service ceiling above sea level drops to 3 , 0 0 0 m (9,843 ft). If a propeller guard is installed on the aircraft with the Intelligent Flight Battery, the maximum service ceiling above sea level becomes 1,500 m (4,921 ft). 6. GNSS cannot be used on the aircraft in the polar regions. Use the Vision System instead. 7. DO NOT take off from moving objects such as cars and ships. 8. DO NOT take off from solid-colored surfaces or surfaces with strong reflection such as a car roof. 9. DO NOT use the aircraft in an environment at risk of a fire or explosion. 10. DO NOT use the aircraft, remote controller, battery, battery charger, and the battery charging hub near accidents, fire, explosions, floods, tsunamis, avalanches, landslides, earthquakes, dust, sandstorms, salt spray, or fungus. 11. Operate the aircraft, remote controller, battery, battery charger, and the battery charging hub in a dry environment. 12. DO NOT operate the aircraft near bird flocks.

DJI’s Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) System is a global information system that provides real-time information on flight safety and restriction updates and prevents UAVs from flying in restricted airspace. Under exceptional circumstances, restricted areas can be unlocked to allow flights in. Prior to that, the user must submit an unlocking request based on the current restriction level in the intended flight area. The GEO system may not fully comply with local laws and regulations. Users shall be responsible for their own flight safety and must consult with the local authorities on the relevant legal and regulatory requirements before requesting to unlock a flight in a restricted area. For more information about the GEO system, visit https://www.dji. com/flysafe.

For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by default to help users operate this aircraft safely. Users can set flight limits on height and distance. Altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO zones function concurrently to manage flight safety when GNSS is available. Only altitude can be limited when GNSS is unavailable.

Maximum flight altitude restricts an aircraft’s flight altitude, while maximum flight distance restricts an aircraft’s flight radius around the Home Point. These limits can be set using the DJI Fly app for improved flight safety.

Home Point not manually updated during flight

When GNSS is available

When GNSS is weak

• There will be no altitude limit if the GNSS signal becomes weak during flight as long as the GNSS signal was stronger than weak (white or yellow signal bars) when the aircraft was powered on.
• If the aircraft is in a GEO zone and there is a weak or no GNSS signal, the aircraft status indicator will glow red for five seconds every twelve seconds.
• If the aircraft reaches an altitude or radius limit, you can still control the aircraft, but you cannot fly it any further. If the aircraft flies out of the max radius, it will automatically fly back within range when the GNSS signal is strong.

• For safety reasons, do not fly close to airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines, city centers, or other sensitive areas. Fly the aircraft only within your line of sight.

All GEO zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji.com/flysafe. GEO zones are divided into different categories and include locations such as airports, airfields where manned aircraft operate at low altitudes, national borders, and sensitive locations such as power plants. You will receive a prompt in DJI Fly if your aircraft is approaching a GEO zone and the aircraft will be restricted from flying in the area.

Address: Lobby of T2, DJI Sky City, No. 53 Xianyuan Road, Xili Community, Xili Street, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, China, 518055.

The unmanned aircraft system is equipped with a Remote ID system that meets the requirements of 14 CFR Part 89.

Note that the Remote ID system is ONLY activated when using the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus.

The aircraft automatically broadcasts Remote ID messages from takeoff to shut down. An external device such as a cell phone or tablet is required to be connected as a location source to DJI mobile devices without an integrated GNSS system [1], and must run the DJI flight control app such as DJI Fly in the foreground and always allow the DJI flight control app to obtain its accurate location information. The connected external device must minimally be one of the following:

1) FCC Certified personal wireless device that uses GPS with SBAS (WAAS) for location services; or 2) FCC Certified personal wireless device with integrated GNSS.

Also, the external device must be operated in a way that does not interfere with the location reported and its correlation to the operator location.

The aircraft automatically initiates a pre-flight self-test (PFST) of the Remote ID system before takeoff and cannot take off if it does not pass the PFST [2]. The results of the PFST of the Remote ID system can be viewed in a DJI flight control app such as DJI Fly. The aircraft monitors the Remote ID system functionality from pre-flight to shut down. If the Remote ID system malfunctions or has a failure, an alarm will be displayed in a DJI flight control app such as DJI Fly.

• The aircraft using the Intelligent Flight Battery does not activate Remote ID system.
• You can visit the official website of FAA to learn more about aircraft registration and Remote ID requirements.

[1] DJI mobile devices without an integrated GNSS system such as DJI RC-N1. [2] The pass criterion for PFST is that the hardware and software of the Remote ID required-data source and transmitter radio in the Remote ID system are functioning properly.
