Asteroid Mode is one of the most captivating QuickShots features available in the DJI Mini 3 Pro. It creates a unique “tiny planet” effect that begins with a spherical view of the environment and seamlessly transitions into a traditional video. This effect is perfect for adding cinematic flair to your footage with minimal effort. Follow this step-by-step guide to master Asteroid Mode and elevate your drone videography:

Step 1: Open the DJI Fly App Before you start, ensure that your DJI Mini 3 Pro is fully charged and connected to the DJI Fly app on your mobile device.
- Power on the DJI Mini 3 Pro and your remote controller.
- Open the DJI Fly app and connect the drone to your mobile device.
- Wait for the drone’s GPS to lock onto a sufficient number of satellites to ensure stable flight.
Step 2: Access QuickShots Once your drone is ready to fly, access the QuickShots mode:
- Tap the “Mode” button on the right side of the camera view screen.
- Select QuickShots from the menu.
- Scroll through the available QuickShots and tap on Asteroid Mode.
Step 3: Frame Your Subject Asteroid Mode works best when the drone has a clear subject to focus on, such as a person, building, or natural landmark.
- Use the drone’s camera to frame the subject within the center of the screen.
- Tap on the subject to set it as the focal point. A green box will appear to confirm the selection.
- Ensure there are no obstacles in the drone’s flight path, as it will move autonomously during the shot.
Step 4: Customize Your Settings (Optional) For added control, adjust the settings to suit your environment:
- Flight Altitude: Set an appropriate altitude for the tiny planet effect to capture a wide field of view.
- Flight Speed: Consider slower speeds for a smoother transition, though the default settings are usually sufficient.
- Obstacle Avoidance: Ensure the obstacle avoidance sensors are enabled for safety during automatic flight.
Step 5: Start Recording When you’re ready to capture the shot:
- Tap the Start button.
- The drone will automatically fly in a pre-programmed path, ascending and capturing a 360-degree view to create the “tiny planet” effect.
- Once the spherical view is complete, the drone transitions back to its original position and captures standard video footage.
Step 6: Review and Edit Your Footage After the drone completes the QuickShot, it automatically stitches the footage into the Asteroid Mode effect. You can view and edit the footage directly within the DJI Fly app:
- Tap the playback icon to review your shot.
- Use the in-app editing tools to trim or enhance the video as needed.
- Export the video to your mobile device or share it directly to social media platforms for an instant wow factor.
Tips for the Best Results - Choose a Scenic Location: Asteroid Mode shines when there’s a mix of foreground and background elements, such as mountains, beaches, or urban skylines.
- Fly in Good Lighting: Early morning or late afternoon provides optimal lighting conditions for vibrant and detailed footage.
- Avoid Windy Conditions: Wind can destabilize the drone and affect the quality of the footage.
- Practice in Open Areas: Give the drone plenty of space to maneuver, especially when trying Asteroid Mode for the first time.
With these steps, you’re now ready to use Asteroid Mode on your DJI Mini 3 Pro. Experiment with different locations and subjects to create stunning, cinematic shots that stand out. Happy flying!
Thank you!
I hope this helps!
