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

12   © 2022 DJI All Rights Reserved.


Aircraft
Introduction
DJI Mini 3 Pro includes a flight controller, video downlink system, vision system, propulsion system, and
an Intelligent Flight Battery.

Flight Modes
DJI Mini 3 Pro 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 Forward, Backward, and Downward Vision Systems
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 vision systems. When the Forward, Backward, and
Downward Vision Systems are enabled and lighting and other environment conditions are sufficient, the
maximum tilt angle is 25° and the maximum flight speed is 10 m/s.
Sport Mode: In Sport Mode, the aircraft utilizes GNSS for positioning and the aircraft responses are
optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to control stick movements. Note that
obstacle sensing is disabled and the maximum flight speed is 16 m/s.
Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode with a limited flight speed, making the aircraft more
stable during shooting.
The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Vision Systems are 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, which may present hazards especially when flying in confined spaces. The
aircraft will not be able to hover or brake automatically, therefore the pilot should land the aircraft as
soon as possible to avoid accidents.

The Forward and Backward Vision Systems are disabled in Sport mode, which means the aircraft
cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically. The user must stay alert about the surrounding
environment and control the aircraft to avoid obstacles.
The maximum speed and braking distance of the aircraft significantly increase in Sport mode. A
minimum braking distance of 30 m is required in windless conditions.
A minimum braking distance of 10 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 -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.

QuickTransfer
DJI Mini 3 Pro 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 30 MB/s.

Usage
Method 1: mobile device is not connected to the remote controller
1. Power on the aircraft and wait until the self-diagnostic tests of the aircraft are complete.

14   © 2022 DJI All Rights Reserved.

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.

Method 2: mobile device is connected to the remote controller


1. Make sure that the aircraft is connected to the mobile device via the remote controller and the
motors are off.
2. Enable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on the mobile device.
3. Launch DJI Fly, enter playback, and tap in the upper right corner to access the files on the aircraft
to download at high speed.

DJI RC does not support QuickTransfer.


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.

Return to Home
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.

GNSS Description

The first location where the aircraft receives a strong to moderately strong GNSS
signal (indicated by a white icon) will be recorded as the default Home Point. It is
recommended to wait until the Home Point is successfully recorded before flying.
After the Home Point is recorded, a prompt will appear in DJI Fly. The Home Point
Home
10 can be updated before takeoff as long as the aircraft receives another strong to
Point
moderately strong GNSS signal. If the signal is weak, the Home Point will not be
updated. If it is necessary to update the Home Point during a flight (such as where
the user’s position has changed), the Home Point can be manually updated in
Safety of System Settings on DJI Fly.

© 2022 DJI All Rights Reserved.   15


DJI Mini 3 Pro User Manual

Smart RTH
If the GNSS signal is sufficiently strong, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home
Point. Smart RTH is initiated either by tapping in DJI Fly or by pressing and holding the RTH button
on the remote controller until it beeps. Exit Smart RTH by tapping in DJI Fly or by pressing the RTH
button on the remote controller. After exiting RTH, users will regain control of the aircraft.

Straight Line RTH


If Smart RTH is initiated by the user, the aircraft will enter Straight Line RTH.
Straight Line RTH Procedure:
1. The Home Point is recorded.
2. Smart RTH is triggered.
3. The aircraft brakes and hovers in place:
a. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, the aircraft will adjust
its orientation and ascend to the preset RTH altitude, then fly to the Home Point. If the current
altitude is higher than the RTH altitude, the aircraft will fly to the Home Point at the current
altitude.
b. If the aircraft is at a distance of 5 to 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, the aircraft will
adjust its orientation and fly to the Home Point at the current altitude. If the current altitude is less
than 2 m when RTH begins, the aircraft will ascend to 2 m and fly back to the Home Point.
c. The aircraft will land immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins.
4. The aircraft will land and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.

Low Battery RTH


Low Battery RTH is triggered when the Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to the point where the
aircraft may not be able to return safely. Return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted.
To avoid unnecessary danger due to insufficient power, DJI Mini 3 Pro will determine whether the current
battery level is sufficient for returning 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 land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough
to descend from its current altitude. 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. If there is
sufficient power, the throttle stick can be used to make the aircraft ascend at a speed of up to 1 m/s.
During auto landing, move the aircraft horizontally to find an appropriate place to land as soon as
possible. The aircraft will fall if the user keeps pushing the throttle stick upward until the power is
depleted.

Failsafe RTH
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 Return to Home in advance, and where the Home

16   © 2022 DJI All Rights Reserved.


DJI Mini 3 Pro User Manual

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 three seconds.
If the aircraft is 50 m or less than 50 m from the Home Point when the remote controller signal is
lost, it will fly to the Home Point at its current altitude. If the aircraft is more than 50 m from the Home
Point when the remote controller signal is lost, it will fly backwards for 50 m on its original flight route,
and then enter Straight Line RTH. The aircraft will enter or remain in Straight Line RTH if the remote
controller signal is restored during RTH.
After flying backward on the original route for 50 m:
1. If the aircraft is 50 m or less than 50 m from the Home Point, it will fly back to the Home Point at its
current altitude.
2. If the aircraft is further than 50 m from the Home Point and the current altitude is higher than the
preset RTH altitude, it will fly back to the Home Point at its current altitude.
3. If the aircraft is further than 50 m from the Home Point and the current altitude is lower than the
preset RTH altitude, it will ascend to the preset RTH altitude and then fly back to the Home Point.

Obstacle Avoidance During RTH


When the aircraft is ascending:
1. The aircraft will brake if an obstacle is sensed from the front and will fly backward until a safe
distance is reached before continuing to ascend.
2. The aircraft will brake if an obstacle is sensed from behind and will fly forward until a safe distance is
reached before continuing to ascend.
3. No operation will occur when an obstacle is sensed below the aircraft.

When the aircraft is flying forward:


1. The aircraft will brake if an obstacle is sensed from the front and will fly backward until a safe
distance is reached, before ascending until there are no more obstacles in front. Then it will ascend
for two seconds before continuing to fly forward.
2. No operation will occur when an obstacle is sensed from behind.
3. The aircraft will brake if an obstacle is sensed from below and will ascend until there are no more
obstacles below before flying forward.

During RTH, obstacles on either side of the aircraft cannot be detected or avoided.
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.

DJI Mini 3 Pro User Manual

Landing Protection
Smart RTH or Auto Landing activates Landing Protection, which operates as follows:
1. Once Landing Protection determines that the ground is suitable for landing, the aircraft will land
gently.
2. If the ground is determined unsuitable for landing, the aircraft 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. Push the throttle stick down for one second to land.
Landing Protection is activated during Failsafe RTH. The aircraft will hover 0.5 m above ground, and DJI
Fly will display a landing prompt. To land the aircraft, push the throttle stick down for one second.

Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing Systems


DJI Mini 3 Pro is equipped with both an Infrared Sensing System and Forward, Backward, and
Downward Vision Systems.
The Forward, Backward, and Downward Vision Systems consist of two cameras each.
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 more precisely, and to fly
indoors or in other environments where GNSS is unavailable.

Using the Vision Systems


The positioning function of the Downward Vision System is applicable when GNSS signals are
unavailable or weak. It is automatically enabled in Normal or Cine mode.
The Forward and Backward Vision Systems will activate automatically when the aircraft is in Normal or
Cine mode and Obstacle Avoidance is set to Bypass or Brake in DJI Fly. The Forward and Backward
Vision Systems work best with adequate lighting and clearly marked or textured obstacles. Due to
inertia, users must make sure to brake the aircraft within a reasonable distance.

DJI Mini 3 Pro User Manual

Pay attention to the flight environment. The Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System only work
in certain scenarios and cannot replace human control and judgment. During a flight, always pay
attention to the surrounding environment and the warnings on DJI Fly, and be responsible for and
maintain control of the aircraft.
When no GNSS signals are available, the Downward Vision System works best at an altitude from 0.5
to 12 m. Extra caution is required if the altitude of the aircraft is above 12 m as the Vision Systems
may be affected.
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 the water below when landing. It is
recommended to maintain flight control at all times, make reasonable judgments based on the
surrounding environment, and avoid over-relying on the Downward Vision System.
The Vision Systems cannot work properly over surfaces without clear pattern variations or where the
light is too weak or too strong. The Vision Systems cannot work properly in the following situations:
a) Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, white, red, or 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 with frequent and drastic lighting changes.
f) Flying over extremely dark (< 10 lux) 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 poles).
i) Flying over surfaces with repeating identical patterns or texture (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 block or tamper with the sensors.
DO NOT obstruct the Infrared Sensing System.
Vision System cameras may need to be calibrated after being stored for an extended period. In such
cases, a prompt will appear in DJI Fly and calibration will start automatically.
DO NOT fly when it is rainy, smoggy, or the visibility is lower than 100 m.
Check the following each time before takeoff:
a) Make sure there are no stickers or any other obstructions over the glass of the infrared sensing
systems and vision systems.
b) Use soft cloth if there is any dirt, dust, or water on the glass of the infrared sensing and vision
systems. DO NOT use any cleaning product that contains alcohol.
c) Contact DJI Support if there is any damage to the glass of the Infrared Sensing System or Vision
Systems.

Gimbal Mode
Two gimbal operation modes are available. Switch between the different operation modes in DJI Fly.
Follow Mode: The angle between the gimbal’s orientation and aircraft front remains constant at all times.
Users can adjust the gimbal tilt. This mode is suitable for shooting stills.
FPV Mode: When the aircraft is flying forward, the gimbal synchronizes with the movement of the aircraft
to provide a first-person flying experience.

  Make sure there are no stickers or objects on the gimbal before taking off. When the aircraft is
powered on, DO NOT tap or knock the gimbal. Take off from open and flat ground to protect the
gimbal.
  Precision elements in the gimbal may be damaged in a collision or impact, which may cause the
gimbal to function abnormally.
  Avoid getting dust or sand on the gimbal, especially in the gimbal motors.
  A gimbal motor may enter protection mode in the following situations: a. The aircraft is on uneven
ground and the gimbal is impacted. b. The gimbal experiences excessive external force, such as
during a collision.
  DO NOT apply external force to the gimbal after the gimbal is powered on. DO NOT add any
extra payload to the gimbal as this may cause the gimbal to function abnormally or even lead to
permanent motor damage.
  Make sure to remove the gimbal protector before powering on the aircraft. Make sure to mount the
gimbal protector when the aircraft is not in use.
  Flying in heavy fog or clouds may make the gimbal wet, leading to temporary failure. The gimbal will
recover full functionality once it is dry.

Flight
This section describes safe flight
practices and flight restrictions.

58   © 2022 DJI All Rights Reserved.


Flight
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. The flying height is limited to
500 m. DO NOT exceed this height. Strictly abide by local laws and regulations when flying. Read the
Safety Guidelines before flight to ensure the safe use of the product.

Flight Environment Requirements


1. Do not operate the aircraft in severe weather conditions including wind speeds exceeding 10.7 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. It is recommended to keep the aircraft at least 5 m away from
structures.
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 4,000 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 3,000 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 Systems instead.
7. DO NOT take off from moving objects such as cars and ships.

Flight Limits
GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System
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.

Flight Limits
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.

DJI Mini 3 Pro User Manual

Flight Altitude and Distance Limits


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.

Max Radius No limits N/A

The altitude limit when the GNSS is weak will not be restricted if there was a strong GNSS signal
(GNSS signal strength ≥ 2) when the aircraft was powered on.
If the aircraft reaches a 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.

DJI Mini 3 Pro User Manual

GEO Zones
DJI’s GEO System designates safe flight locations, provides risk levels and safety notices for individual
flights, and offers information on restricted airspace. All restricted flight areas are referred to as GEO
Zones, which are further divided into Restricted Zones, Authorization Zones, Warning Zones, Enhanced
Warning Zones, and Altitude Zones. Users can view such information in real time in DJI Fly. GEO Zones
are specific flight areas, including but not limited to airports, large event venues, locations where public
emergencies have occurred (such as forest fires), nuclear power plants, prisons, government properties,
and military facilities. By default, the GEO system limits flights into or takeoffs within zones that may
cause safety or security concerns. A GEO Zone Map that contains comprehensive information on GEO
Zones around the globe is available on the official DJI website: https://www.dji.com/flysafe/geo-map.
