With the launch of the FIMI Mini 3, Xiaomi has fundamentally changed the sub-250g drone market through its brand FIMI (part of the Xiaomi Group). While DJI was long considered the undisputed market leader, Xiaomi has now even outperformed the competition with the FIMI Mini 3 and set a new benchmark in terms of value for money.
At dusk, the weaknesses of the DJI Mini 4K become clearly visible, while the FIMI offers a significantly more powerful camera.

The FIMI Mini 3 offers many features that are usually reserved for expensive professional drones from DJI:
Waypoints are predefined GPS points that the drone follows automatically to fly a specific route, allowing for complex flight patterns without manual control.
FocusTrack (FollowMe) is a drone feature that automatically keeps the camera focused on a selected subject while the drone follows its movement without requiring manual input from the pilot.
The FIMI Mini 3’s AI Super Night Mode enhances image quality in low-light conditions by using artificial intelligence to reduce noise and improve detail in dark scenes.
The FIMI Mini 3 impresses with an outstanding combination of advanced technology and unbeatable pricing. Its exceptional 4K/60fps camera captures crystal-clear footage, while the stable 3-axis gimbal ensures ultra-smooth video. With a flight time of up to 31 minutes, you can realize your creative visions without constant interruptions – a feature usually found only in significantly more expensive models.

One standout feature is the wide range of intelligent flight modes that not only help beginners get started easily but also offer advanced pilots new creative possibilities. With GPS support and an impressive range of up to 8 kilometers, the FIMI Mini 3 is a powerful companion for aerial photography enthusiasts and hobby filmmakers alike. Its compact and lightweight design (under 250g) also means that no drone license is required.
The FIMI Mini 3 greatly benefits from Xiaomi's innovative strength and global technology network. Seamlessly integrated into the Xiaomi ecosystem, it offers an unbeatable mix of usability, performance, and support that’s unparalleled in this price range. Thanks to competitive pricing and Xiaomi’s strong customer service, the FIMI Mini 3 is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a high-quality drone with outstanding performance at a fair price.
Compared to more expensive alternatives like the DJI Mini 4 Pro and the AUTEL Nano Plus, both of which cost over 750 euros, the Xiaomi FIMI Mini 3 is the clear value-for-money winner. It combines top-tier technology with an affordable price, setting a new standard for drones under 250g – perfect for beginners and ambitious users who don’t want to compromise on quality.
