DJI Mavic 3 Cine Premium Combo - Camera Drone with 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad Camera, 5.1K Video, Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing, 46-Min Flight, Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Max 15km Video Transmission

Product Information

The drone automatically plans a flight route based on the user's pre-set waypoints and can precisely repeat routes. Image quality from the main camera for stills and video is nothing short of excellent overall, with just a small amount of sharpness falling off at the edges of the frame when viewing stills. But the level of fall-off is minimal, and you have to look for it. It's also much better than the fall-off visible in DJI Air 2S' images.

Like the Mavic 3 Series, the Mavic 3 Enterprise series features omnidirectional obstacle sensing, Advanced Return To Home and APAS 5.0. Measured in an unobstructed outdoor environment free of interference. The above data shows the farthest communication range for one-way, non-return flights under each standard. During your flight, please pay attention to RTH reminders in the DJI Fly app.The Mavic 3 is now the fully-featured drone it should have been at launch. And while the features available when it first arrived were more than enough for professionals and experienced drone pilots who typically use manual controls, the arrival of the missing features also makes the Mavic 3 much more beginner-friendly. The Mavic 3 is now the best prosumer drone you can buy, and one that could provide many years of service, thanks to the advanced features and fantastic image quality it offers.

I found flying the Mavic 3 to be very easy. With the new features like Spotlight and Master Shots, you don’t have to worry about keeping the subject framed correctly, just how you want to fly around it. For inexperienced pilots such as myself, I appreciate the simplicity, and the results look professional. The standard Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Classic have 8GB of onboard storage, plus capacity for a microSD card. They do not use Apple ProRes, instead utilising MP4/MOV (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, HEVC/H.265).

Use the DJI 10Gbps Lightspeed Data Cable in the box to connect the aircraft to your computer via the USB-C port. Make sure the write speed of your storage device is greater than 700MB/s. For a more immersive experience, all five of the Mavic 3 drones are compatible with the DJI Goggles Integra and DJI Goggles 2 , as well as the DJI RC Motion 2 which allows operators to control the drone with wrist movements.

So, if we take the original Mavic 3s out of the mix, it means that the Mavic 3 Pro and the Mavic 3 Classic are arguably best-suited to tech-savvy amateur or semi-pro content creators who want to benefit from the latest tech and raise the bar of their aerial photography or filmmaking.

Is ProRes worth the extra cost?

The DJI Mavic 3 is the most powerful folding drone the company has made so far – and in pure performance terms, it's also the best. But the big improvements over the DJI Mavic 2 Pro come with a cost. This means that for most non-professionals, the smaller and more affordable DJI Air 2S is the better all-round buy.
