First, connect your mobile device, which should be connected to the internet, to the remote controller.
Then, connect the FIMI MINI 3 using the FIMI Navi Mini App and follow the instructions on the app interface to complete the activation.

The FIMI MINI 3 is not waterproof. It is important to avoid water contact with the body of the drone to prevent damage. If you encounter rain during flight, return and land the drone as soon as possible, and wait for the drone to dry completely before using it again.

You need to use the FIMI Navi Mini App. You can download the latest version by scanning the QR code on the packaging box or the "FIMI MINI 3 Quick Start Guide".

No, it does not have onboard storage. You need to insert a U3 MicroSD card to use the photo and video functions.

It supports U3 or higher MicroSD cards ranging from 8GB to 512GB. After inserting the MicroSD card, format it using the aircraft before use.

The FIMI MINI 3 has a maximum wind resistance level of 5 (10.7 m/s). The drone's wind resistance mainly relies on its power performance. When the wind is strong, it is normal for the lightweight drone to experience slight vibrations, but its power reserve is sufficient to ensure stable hovering or safe return. Additionally, the FIMI MINI 3 can autonomously adjust the gimbal to keep the footage stable and unaffected by the wind.

1. Significantly improved image transmission performance with SoLink dual-band (5.8G and 2.4G auto-switching) transmission, offering stronger anti-interference and transmission performance.

2. Enhanced shooting capabilities: 48MP 1/2 inch CMOS sensor, 12x digital zoom(only supported in 4K30/25/24, 8M, and 12M modes), 8K time-lapse video, AI super night scene, and 4K 60fps video recording.

No, you do not need to remove the propellers. However, be careful not to press or deform the propellers, as this could affect flight performance.

No obstacle-avodance function.

Yes. When using this function, please carefully observe the ambient conditions, and set a proper height to return, to avoid hitting on obstacles during the returning process.

Yes.

Yes, it will automatically return.

Yes, it will. When the battery is below 15%, The App will prompt to land due to low battery; when it's below 10%, the drone will be forced to land.

There may happen loss of connection and return landing, return landing, or low battery power triggering return landing after confirming the return landing prompt box. (Return landing happens when the power is below 30% due to low power, the App will prompt to land due to low power when the power is below 15%, and the drone will be forced to land when the power is below 10%).

Generally speaking, It takes 2.5H to fully charge the battery via 5V/2A chargers, 1.5H via 9V/2A chargers, and 1H via 9V/3A chargers .

No load carrying.

Yes, 10°~-90° (pitch).

Yes. You can manually control the camera's shutter speed, ISO and white balance parameters in the camera setting under M mode.

Photo, video, one-click short video, panorama mode.
Photo modes also include: normal, HDR, time-lapse.
Video modes also include: normal, super night scene, time-lapse video.
You can choose vertical shooting mode when taking photos and videos (just turn on the vertical shooting switch in the camera settings in the App).

1~12X digital zoom.

The maximum flight altitude for the FIMI MINI 3 drone is 800 meters, with different restrictions based on regulations in different countries/regions (e.g., a height limit of 120 meters in Europe ). Before flying, please check and confirm local regulations.

Longest hover time: 29 minutes (test in windless conditions, with the drone's vision closed, and recording mode turned off, hovering at sea level until the remaining battery is 0%, for reference only, please pay attention to the app prompts during actual flight). Longest flight time: 32 minutes (test in windless conditions, with the drone's vision closed, and recording mode turned off, flying forward at a speed of 21.6 kilometers per hour at sea level until the remaining battery is 0%, for reference only, please pay attention to the app prompts during actual flight).

Before each flight, you should check whether the propellers are cracked, worn, deformed, or corroded or not, and whether the propellers screws are loose or not. If any of these conditions happens, the propellers and screws need to be replaced. Replacement of propellersand screws should be strictly in accordance with the instructions provided in the propeller replacement guide.

It's recommended to use USB chargers with protocols QC 2.0 or above.
The power of chargers affect the charging time of the battery. It takes 2.5H to fully charge the battery via 5V/2A chargers, 1.5H via 9V/2A chargers, and 1H via 9V/3A chargers.

P.S: The PD protocol fast charging is not supported. Charging temperature ranges from 5℃~40℃. The battery can't be charged if temperature is out of this range.

720p/30fps.

120ms.

The procedures are as below:

1. Turn on the drone and remote controller.

2. Wait for 20s, long press the power button of remote controller till it keeps beeping, the indicators flash one by one, which means the remote controller enters into pairing mode.

3. Long press the power button of the drone till the tail light goes off, which means the drone enters into pairing mode.

4. Once the drone and RC is paired successfully, the indicators on the remote controller will be fixed in white, not flashing in red color, and the tail light of drone is on.

Type-C.

When the remote controller is turned off, it takes about 2.5 hours to charge the controller fully; The battery of the controller will last 4 hours when charging mobile devices, and 8 hours when not charging mobile devices.

When operating the drone, it is important to promptly adjust the orientation and distance of the remote controller relative to the drone, as well as adjust the antenna position to ensure that the drone is always within the optimal communication range. When the antennas form a 180° or 270° angle with the back of the remote controller, and the plane of the antennas is facing the drone, the signal quality between the remote controller and the drone will reach the optimal state. Note: Do not use other communication devices with the same frequency band simultaneously to avoid interference with the signal of the remote controller.

Ensure the drone and remote controller are connected properly first, then connect mobile devices (with an available network), and enter the FIMI Navi Mini App (If there is new firmware to be updated, the app will display a notification). Download the new firmware. Once the new firmware is downloaded, the app will remind you to update. Just follow the instructions to complete the update.

The remote controller is needed to update firmware for FIMI MINI 3, the firmware couldn't be updated via phone directly.

Once firmware is downloaded, it's ok to disable the network and update firmware for FIMI MINI 3 continuously.

No, at this time, the FIMI Navi Mini App will prompt that the upgrade has failed. In this case, please reconnect to the network to download and upgrade the firmware again.

The previous upgrade may not have been successful. After connecting the drone, if the FIMI Navi Mini App pops up a firmware update notice, you can follow the instructions to update again.

1. The upgrade will fail if the remaining battery power of the drone is less than 15% or the remaining battery power of the remote controller is less than 20%.

2. If the drone and remote controller are turned off during the upgrade process, the upgrade will fail. Please restart the devices and try to upgrade again.

3. Disconnection from the network when downloading the firmware in the app will result in upgrade failure.

PS: During the upgrade process of the drone, the drone will restart multiple times and automatically shut down after the upgrade is completed. You need to manually turn on the drone again. This is a normal phenomenon.

No.

Yes, but the FIMI Navi Mini App needs to be updated to the latest version first. Or you can scan the QR code on the package box of FIMI MINI 3 products, to download and install the APP.
