There is no cooling fan on the mini 3 Pro , I use neck fans when setting up or updating, cheers Len

If you are fiddling with settings and the drone is not flying it is a good idea to direct the output of a fan at the drone, as suggested above.

This has been the case with all the minis, and same with the other DJI aircraft without a fan.

Hi,and thanks for all replies.I was aware the minis dont have onboard fans but was being a bit cautious as the mini 2 never had this and never really got very hot,but I am going to follow the suggestions and will use a fan if doing updates and transfering photos.I am looking foward to using this drone .Once again thanks

I have updated my mini 3 and left it on whilst trying t get assistant 2 to work. It never seems to get that hot. When flying I aim to get it going straightaway to make best use of the battery. Even with the plus battery.

@thomasoes the overheating issue with the Mini 3 pro, is more pronounced than earlier versions, because there is a lot more going on internally, and all those components produce more heat ,the fact that it turns off is to protect ,those components

This has been a very annoying issue for many,, Me for one. lol

Keys that will help:
Update on a cooling vent.
Get in the Air as quick as you can .
Dont hover to long in the same spot.

and wish you get an Air 2S for Xmas

and transfering photos.

I'd just remove the card from the drone and pop it into a reader attached to the computer.....assuming that's the destination. No wasting battery power or overheating worries.

I use a fan I took from a PC and point it at the frount of the drone.
Thought it would be better blowing air in the drone

Great and cheap fan for drone. I have 2 for just this issue.

Do you need 2 because 1 don’t push enough air or 2 for just to have a extra ?

 

[Looking Down On You]

No an extra for my place up north and one at home. 1 does it fine.
