Not to mention that with newer flyers, crashes might happen frequently.Īlso, due to extreme weather conditions or storage practices, it is recommended to replace propellers on a regular basis to ensure they are flight-worthy. The reason is that with the Mini 3 being so small, operators might be tempted to fly through fairly tight pass-throughs (myself included), which could result in dinged or cracked props. Yes, DJI Mini 3 comes with 4 extra propellers (1 set) but having an extra 8 (2 sets) in the flymore kit is a bonus. Something that is necessary when owning any drone is having spare propellers, and screws. The Mini 3 Pro gets 34 and 47 minutes respectively. Note: When used with the Mini 3, the batteries in the flymore kit get 4 extra minutes of flight time than the Mini 3 Pro, due to the Mini 3 being slightly lighter and using less processing power. It is good to know that the Plus batteries will put the Mini 3 over the 249g mark. The Plus Battery kit increases the flight time of the Mini 3 from the Standard Battery’s 38 minutes to 51 minutes of flight time. With the added 2 standard batteries, you should easily be able to fly for more than an hour. Likewise, in the Mini 3’s case, I highly suggest getting a Flymore Kit. I’ve always been one to encourage drone owners to purchase additional batteries. Add to this wind conditions and landing close to the 30% mark and the one battery isn’t quite enough. While this might initially seem like plenty of time, when out and about flying, that time seems to fly by (no pun intended). Intelligent Flight BatteriesĭJI Mini 3 has an impressive 38-minute flight time with the included standard battery. Note: While all 3 batteries and remote controller can be connected to and charged with the two-way charging hub, each item will charge sequentially and not simultaneously. There is also an additional USB-C cable included, so once you get the kit, you are set to charge all of your Mini 3 items. With the two-way charging hub, you can charge the Mini 3 battery (in the hub), while also connecting and charging the DJI RC or RC-N1 controller. If you were to purchase the DJI 30W charger (or any other charger), you will only be able to charge either the Mini 3 or the remote controller at a time. I charge and circle at about 20 metres until the 30% warning.The two-way charging hub is a must-have accessory, even if you do not have multiple batteries, which we will discuss next.Īs mentioned prior, the Mini 3 only ships with a single USB-C cable. On the plus side, my mavic pro batteries are still pumping out close to their original flight time when i bought them back in 2017. The cells will be much hotter than the case when flying at full power on a hot day. Please note, it is the cell temperature that is important, not how hot the case is. Flying or recharging a hot battery (above the manufacturers max temp) will rapidly degrade the battery. The longer the battery remains at 100%, the quicker it will degrade although not as fatal as going down to 0%įlying in low temperatures only reduces the power output. You can slow the degrade to some extent by keeping the charge between 20% to 80% but you will need to go to 100% just prior to flight. That is a fact.Īlso, you can't stop your battery degrading, it started doing that the moment it was made. The faster you charge this battery chemistry, the faster the cells degrade. I'm sure it has to do something with the batteries firmware keeping them from overcharging. I have a 45W charger also and I tried that on the 2nd extended battery and it still took 1 hour and 40 minutes to charge so the intelligent batteries must only accept up to a 30W charge at a time. I have the extended batteries which take a full 1 hour and 40 minutes to charge with a 30W charger.
