Sufficient distance to the ground again
DJI's Mini 3 Pro has more functions than its predecessor, the Mini 2. Since these cause more weight, the manufacturer has shortened the feet to save weight. Depending on the surface, e.g. on a longer lawn, this is of course not an advantage. With STARTRC's clickable undercarriage, this can be compensated for quickly and easily. For assembly, only the plastic protection, which is located above the camera including the gimbal, has to be removed. The arms with the rotors can still be folded out and in, albeit very tightly, after the landing gear has already been mounted. The foldable landing gear skids lock into place both when folded and unfolded, so nothing flaps or wobbles. Basically you can of course use the chassis passively, but the LED lighting makes a lot, especially when it gets dark. Charging the internally installed Li-ion battery with a capacity of 60 mAh takes about 40 minutes. The mileage of the LEDs depends on the mode used and can be up to approx. 50 minutes. The different modes are long and short flashing of the LEDs, as well as continuous lighting. A USB-A / USB-C charging cable was included by the manufacturer, but no power supply. Unfortunately, there is no indicator light that signals the charging process with a red light and the full battery with a green LED. I find the luminosity of the LEDs to be very bright, especially when the ambient light is low. I would wish for a setting option for different brightness levels. Conclusion: stable and practical chassis with lighting. I would like to see a few tweaks here and there. I hope this review is useful
