The basic DJI Mini 3 is a slight step down from the Pro model that made our list of the best drones, but it has many of the same features that made it a favorite. Most importantly, it allows you to shoot video in both portrait and landscape modes, which makes it a great pick for Instagram and TikTok content creators. It boasts 4K HDR video and a 38-minute flight time, and it’s still incredibly lightweight and compact at just 249 grams (8.8 ounces).
