Despite what futurists promised, we still haven't got personal rocket packs or flying cars. However, if you want to take to the skies and capture your adventure, this DJI Mini 3 Fly More Combo bundle gives you the freedom you've been craving.

It's portable, lightweight and captures 4K HDR video so you can share your spectacular trips into the heavens. Thanks to its three batteries, you've got nearly two hours of flight time.

The included DJI RC1 remote control features its own screen so you can see what the drone sees, without having to mess with your mobile phone. On top of that, there's a case, 18 spare screws and even three spare propellers if you do need to do some on-site repairs.

In our DJI Mini 3 review, reviewer James Abbot noted it delivered superb image and video quality, in landscape and portrait mode, and was seriously beginner-friendly to boot. At this price, this is a brilliant drone for beginners or hobbyists who don't want to break the bank.

Key features: 6.2 miles / 10 km video transmission range, 4K HDR video, 248 g weight, up to 38 mins flight time per battery for a total of 114 mins.

Product launched: December 2022.

Price history: The DJI Mini 3 Fly More Combo was $495 last year but, factoring in inflation, this is an even bigger saving.

Price comparison: Amazon: $575 | Best Buy: $719

Reviews consensus: Our reviewer James rated this as an excellent drone for beginners and hobbyists, praising its portability, image and video quality, and the way it handles strong winds. Having three batteries and a remote with a screen makes this an even better buy.
