How to live stream a DJI Mini 3 Pro

By Taner Özel · Updated October 25, 2026

Your DJI Mini 3 Pro can send its camera view through DJI Fly, but the controller determines whether that option exists. With RC-N1 and a phone, send RTMP to Stream My Drone on a separate Mac or Windows computer, then publish to your platform. The original screen-equipped DJI RC does not support this livestream route.

Check the controller before setting up RTMP

The official Mini 3 Pro beginner guide confirms livestreaming with RC-N1 and a mobile device, and says it is unavailable with DJI RC. Start by reading the model name on your controller.

The Mini 4 Pro and Mini 5 Pro instructions for RC 2 do not apply to the original DJI RC. Adding a receiver app or joining Wi-Fi cannot create an RTMP output that the controller does not provide. DJI's DJI RC FAQ also says it does not allow third-party app installation.

Prepare the flight phone and a separate receiver

Keep the RC-N1 phone dedicated to DJI Fly during flight. Install Stream My Drone on your Mac or Windows computer. This setup keeps the receiver and publishing controls on the computer while the flight screen stays visible.

• Connect the flight phone and computer to the same local network with internet access. A shared router is a straightforward starting point; test any field hotspot before relying on it.
• Update DJI Fly and the aircraft/controller firmware before the broadcast day, then check the RTMP menu with the aircraft connected.
• Prepare a live event or destination in your platform account, and keep its stream key private.
• Test while the aircraft is on the ground. Arrange the computer so managing the broadcast does not distract from piloting.

This guide does not assume that DJI Fly and Stream My Drone can run the flight and relay together on the same phone. The RC 2 plus separate-phone method from newer Mini guides is not a substitute for RC-N1 on Mini 3 Pro.

Send Mini 3 Pro video from DJI Fly to the computer

1. Copy Stream My Drone's receiving addressOpen the computer app and copy the complete address under Connect your drone. For example, rtmp://192.168.1.20:1935/drone illustrates the format; use the address actually shown for your network.
2. Open DJI Fly's livestream settingsOn the phone connected to RC-N1, enter the camera view and open ••• → Transmission → Live Streaming Platforms or Enable Livestreaming, then choose RTMP. Menu labels can differ by DJI Fly version. The RTMP setup guide explains the address fields.
3. Paste the full local address and start the feedUse the computer app's address, including its path. Do not append your YouTube or other platform key to this local address. Start DJI Fly's stream, allow the computer's private-network firewall prompt if needed, and wait for moving video in Stream My Drone.
4. Configure the outgoing picture and destinationChoose landscape or the desktop app's vertical output to match the broadcast. Add the platform's current server URL and stream key in the destination settings. Those credentials belong here, separately from the local DJI Fly address.
5. Verify the viewer experienceStart the destination output, open the platform's live dashboard, and complete any remaining Go Live step. Check motion, framing and audio on the viewer page before treating the broadcast as published.

Choose a platform your account can publish to

Eligibility and publishing controls depend on the platform and your account. A receiver app does not grant LIVE access. If you use a permitted desktop application that accepts webcam input, Stream My Drone's virtual camera is another output option; it still needs an incoming drone feed.

Recording quality, livestream quality and portrait framing

DJI's Mini 3 Pro specifications and support list a 1080p/30fps controller live view. That describes the aircraft-to-controller picture, not a promise that every DJI Fly RTMP setting or internet broadcast has that resolution. Inspect the actual input received by Stream My Drone; the drone's high-resolution recording is a separate file.

• Check portrait output end to end. Rotating the camera for a vertical shot does not alone establish the platform's final frame dimensions. Confirm the receiver input and desktop output layout.
• Start with one destination. Add simultaneous outputs after the first broadcast remains stable; each destination consumes upload capacity.
• Plan mobile data. A continuous 5 Mbps output is about 2.25 GB per hour before overhead. Two equal outputs are about 4.5 GB per hour.
• Test sound separately. Watch the destination's audio meters and listen from the viewer side. Do not infer successful audio from a moving video preview.

Troubleshooting Mini 3 Pro livestreams

• There is no livestream menu: identify the controller first. On original DJI RC this is an expected limitation, not a missing setting in Stream My Drone. With RC-N1, check DJI Fly version and the aircraft connection.
• DJI Fly cannot connect: recopy the receiver address after changing networks. Avoid guest Wi-Fi with device isolation, check the private-network firewall, and do not use localhost for another device.
• The picture arrives but viewers see nothing: check the destination URL and key, confirm the platform receives video, and complete its publication step.
• The stream becomes choppy: test one output, reduce the offered bitrate if available, and check both the local Wi-Fi link and internet upload. A strong aircraft link alone does not prove the internet path is healthy.
• Portrait looks cropped or sideways: compare the incoming preview with the selected desktop output. Make framing changes on the ground and recheck the platform preview.
