DJI Mini 3 Chip ID

DJI Mini 3 Chip ID

Background

Following on the heels of the highly acclaimed $599 Mini 3 Pro, DJI’s $329 Mini 3 aims for most of the same features of the Pro for $170 less. The compromise is a lower resolution camera, no obstacle avoidance system, and the OcuSync 2.0 protocol in place of the newer OcuSync 3.0 protocol.

Identification

The DJI Mini 3 can be easily identified with the name printed on the propeller arm.
