DJI drone buying guide for Belgian pilots: Which drone to choose?

With the release of the DJI Air 3, DJI's third generation of video drones (excluding FPV) is now complete. Yes, we're also talking about the Inspire 3 today. So, which drone is best suited to your needs? The answer isn't as simple as it used to be.

Before the release of the Mini 3 Pro in 2022, the choice of drone was fairly straightforward. For professional work, the Mavic 3 was the obvious choice. For those on a budget, or who wanted a quality photo drone, the choice was the Air 2S. And for beginners or those flying for pleasure, the Mini 2 or FPV were the preferred options.

However, the arrival of the Mini 3 Pro has changed all that. Although it can't compete with the Mavic 3 in terms of video quality, its value for money is undeniable for smaller projects. Here's a list of the camera drones offered by DJI to help you make your choice:

 

 

What is your objective with the drone?

The first question to ask is how you intend to use your drone. DJI's current range offers excellent photo and video quality. If you simply want to capture your vacations or outings, choose the drone that best suits your budget. If you don't plan to do any professional work, we recommend that you keep the Air 3 to a minimum.

For beginners and content creators on social networks:

If you're just starting out in the drone world, or if you'd like to give a drone to someone as a present, DJI's Mini range is ideal. The Mini 2 SE and Mini 3 are the most affordable options for beginners. For social networking content creators, the Mini 3 Pro is the ideal choice thanks to its advanced capabilities.

For enlightened amateurs and novice professionals:

The choice becomes more complex in this category. The Mini 3 Pro is perfect for creators on the move, while the Mavic 3 family offers exceptional image quality. The Air 3, meanwhile, is an excellent compromise for most projects.

For professionals:

If you're a professional running a successful production business, the Mavic 3 Pro Cine and Inspire 3 drones are for you. These drones offer advanced functionality, but their cost has to be weighed against the return on investment.

In conclusion, your choice of drone will depend on your needs and your budget. The DJI range offers a variety of options for all types of user. Make sure you choose the drone that best matches your expectations and future projects.
