Courtesy of Best Buy’s Geek Squad Refurbished store, the DJI Mini 3 Pro lands at $569.99 shipped. You’d more regularly pay $760 for a new condition model, with today’s offer landing on sale for only the third time and marking the best discount we’ve seen – new condition or otherwise. The Mini 3 Pro with bundled RC Remote also lands on sale, and is now sitting at $699.99 from its usual $910 going rate.
Having launched late last year, DJI’s new Mini Pro 3 delivers a more consumer-focused feature set that is packed into one of its most compact builds yet. The entire drone weighs in under 249 grams, while still delivering 34-minute flight times and a robust set of obstacle avoidance tech. The 1/1.3-inch sensor is already a notable solution for aerial photography thanks to the ability to record 4K HDR videos, but there’s also a rotating gimbal that makes this the first DJI drone to be able to capture vertical video for sharing to your smartphone. Includes a 90-day warranty. Take a look at the full specs in our coverage at DroneDJ and then head below for more.
