Drone conglomerate DJI launched yet another drone in Nepal. This one brings upgrades over the Air 3 that launched a few months prior. Let’s take a look at the DJI Air 3S and also discuss its price in Nepal.

DJI Air 3S Overview

The drone

The DJI Air 3S is a rather lightweight drone weighing in at just 724 grams. It is equipped with omnidirectional obstacle sensing and forward-facing LiDAR. Furthermore, the drone can reach speeds of up to 21 m/s or 75.6 km/h. Likewise, it can soar at a maximum altitude of 6,000 metres.

It can be mounted with a 4,276mAh battery providing a flight time of up to 45 minutes. Moreover, it has a built-in storage of 42GB simplifies and comes with a compression algorithm that can reduce video file sizes by 30% without compromising quality.

Camera and Gimbal

The DJI Air 3S is a powerhouse for aerial photography featuring a dual camera. Its primary camera is a 50MP unit with a 1-inch CMOS sensor. It offers 24mm equivalent shots with detail and clarity. It is then paired with a 48MP medium telephoto camera that can capture distant subjects with minimal distortion. In addition, this drone allows users to record 4K@60fps (@120fps slow motion) videos, with 10-bit colour modes like D-Log M and HDR.

It also includes a three-axis mechanical gimbal that moves in a range of motion. It can tilt from -135° to 70°. Likewise, it can roll and pan at 50° and 27° on either side respectively. In the meantime, the users can tilt the gimbal from -90° to 50° and pan it at 5° on both sides.

Bundled Goodies

The DJI Air 3S is available in two combos in Nepal. The first is the RC-N3 Fly More Combo which includes the RC-N3 controller. This remote can be connected to a smartphone for live views and controls. Additionally, you get two additional flight batteries, a charging hub, ND filters, and a carrying case.

Then there is the RC 2 Fly More Combo, targeted at more advanced users. This combo upgrades the remote to the RC 2 remote controller with a 5.5-inch 1080p screen. Other than that, the rest of the bundled goodies are the same.

A few months after its global launch, DJI’s latest drone, the Mini 3 has finally arrived in Nepal. It’s amore compact and cost-effective version of the original Mini 3 Pro, which was released in May. According to DJI, it is well-suited for first-time users in suburban and urban scenarios. So, let’s go over the specifications, features, availability, and official price of the DJI Mini 3 in Nepal.

DJI Mini 3 Overview:

Body

Like the Mini 3 Pro, the Mini 3 is a small drone measuring 251x362x72 mm (with propellers) and weighing 248 grams. So, it can easily slip into a backpack pocket, ready for flight whenever you need it. Despite its compact size, the drone can withstand wind speeds of up to 10.7m/s, providing stable videos even in gusty conditions. In terms of looks, the 3 Pro and Mini 3 are nearly identical.

Camera

Additionally, DJI has used the same 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor with an f/1.7 aperture as the Mini 3 Pro. That means its HDR recording caps out at 4K@30fps. You can use the digital zoom of 2x in 4K / 30fps, and 4x in 1080p videos. In terms of photography, it shoots 12MP images by default. Whereas, DJI’s 4-in-1 pixel technology allows you to go all the way up to 48MP.

As always, DJI has packed a slew of features to make recording easier and more enjoyable. The drone comes with an automated Quickshots shooting mode, which is a collection of pre-programmed flight and filming paths that will allow you to shoot Dronie, Circle, Helix, Rocket, and Boomerang shots with just a tap.

There is also an option for “true vertical shooting,” which rotates the camera 90 degrees to create content suitable for social media platforms. On the other hand, DJI’s O2 digital video transmission feature can deliver a 720p / 30fps live feed from up to 10km away.

Security

Aside from that, there are some automated features designed for drone safety. When issues such as a dropped signal or a low battery are detected, the Mini 3 returns to its starting point via Return to Home (RTH) feature. Similarly, the drone hovers more stably and accurately thanks to its precise hovering technique, which combines GNSS with the downward vision system and the infrared sensing system.

Rest of the specs

The Mini 3 has a maximum flight time of 38 minutes with the standard Intelligent Flight Battery and 51 minutes with the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus. In case you were wondering, the Flight Battery and Flight Battery Plus are two distinct battery units with varying capacities. Furthermore, like the Mini 3 Pro, the Mini 3 is compatible with RC and RC-N1 controllers.

DJI Mini 3 Price in Nepal and Availability

The DJI Mini 3 with Fly More Combo (FMC) and RC2  controller is priced at Rs. 120,000 in Nepal. It can be purchased in Nepal from authorized retailers such as Hukut.

• Meanwhile, check out our review of the DJI Mini 3 Pro.

The successor to last year’s Mini 3 Pro is official in Nepal with some new tricks up its sleeve alongside other incremental upgrades. So, without further ado, let’s head into the specs, features, and official price in Nepal of the DJI Mini 4 Pro in this article.

DJI Mini 4 Pro Overview:

48MP Camera Sensor

The Mini 4 Pro drone sports a 48MP camera with an f/1.7 aperture and 24mm equivalent focal length. It is capable of shooting slow motion at 4K @100 fps or at 1080p @200fps and normal footage at 4K @60fps. Likewise, the Mini 4 Pro can shoot HDR video at up to 4K @60fps. Furthermore, the stills at captured at full 48MP resolution. Other features include 180°, Wide Angle, Vertical, and Sphere panoramas, focus tracking, and hyperlapse for videos.

DJI Mini 4 Pro Cameras 

The new Mini 4 Pro will also have better low-light performance thanks to a new sensor with dual native ISO and some software tweaks. For starters, the (higher) native ISO setting allows for letting in more light without much noise. Secondly, DJI has also improved its noise reduction algorithm in Night Shots for even better clarity.

Besides that, there’s also a new (additional) accessory that will allow you to shoot wide video with a 100-degree FOV.

D-Log M

Similarly, the Mini 4 Pro can shoot in Normal, D-LogM, and HLG (HDR) color profiles. D-Log M was available on the Mavic and Air series but now it has made its way into the Mini Pro. But what’s the difference between the D-Cinelike profile in the Mini 3 Pro and the D-log M in the newer Mini 4 Pro?

Simply put, D-Log M gives you more control over your footage in post-production. It has a wider dynamic range, which means it can capture more detail in both the highlights and shadows of an image. It also supports 10-bit color depth, which means that colors are reproduced more accurately and gradients are smoother. As a side effect, your shots might look desaturated right off the bat without any tinkering.

Omnidirectional Obstacle Avoidance

Moving on, the drone carries the same Obstacle Avoidance feature as the Mini 3 Pro. It is now even better with Omni-Directional sensors (four fisheye vision sensors, binocular vision sensors, 3D ToF sensor) which provide 360 degrees of obstacle avoidance in the lateral field, upward and downward facing vision systems making it easier to control the drone mid-air.

Design and Others

This Mini 3 Pro successor incorporates a lightweight body. It weighs 249 grams just like its predecessor. Talking of the battery life, the drone will provide 34 minutes of flight time which can be extended to 45 minutes with Intelligent Flight Battery Plus.

DJI Mini 4 Pro has the OcuSync 4 (O4) transmission system that offers improved range and signal stability. Now you can stream 1080p/60fps video to up to 20 km. That may not be especially useful if you are in Europe as the EU’s C0 drone regulations demand the drone stay in your line of sight.

The new Mini Pro also features Waypoints and Cruise Control that we’ve seen in other DJI drones before. Waypoints allow you to map a path before flights and have the drone fly by itself. You even can save the flight path to use it some other time. On the other hand, activating cruise control will allow the drone to fly at a steady pace until deactivated. Meanwhile, you can focus on the direction and maneuvering. This can be useful for getting smoother and more dynamic footage.

DJI Mini 4 Pro Price in Nepal and Availability

The official DJI Mini 4 Pro price in Nepal is NPR 198,000 for the Fly More Combo Plus with DJI Remote Control 2. You can purchase the drone from authorized stores like Oliz and Hukut.
