Exciting times for everyone who is waiting for those DJI Mavic 3ย pictures. Even with so many leaked pictures in the past few weeks. Today it’s just a full house of leaks. All store photos of the Mavic 3, the Mavic 3 Fly More and the Mavic 3 Cine Premium Combo were revealed by Nils Ahrensmeier just now.
Update: In case you’re wondering about the Mavic 3 specs, check out this post.
The photos shown here, clearly show the Hasselblad branded dual-camera setup and gimbal that are part of the DJI Mavic 3 drone.
Unlike the DJI Air 2S, the DJI Mavic 3 only has 2 forward-facing obstacle-avoidance sensors. We do expect the DJI Mavic 3 to offer 360-degree obstacle-avoidance capabilities.
The photo below clearly shows the lack of swept-back tips on the propellers that we have seen on previous DJI drones. This design feature was introduced on the DJI Mavic Pro to help reduce prop noise and is something we have seen on many DJI drones since. It is surprising to not see it as part of the M3 props, however, I would suspect that DJI will have found other ways to keep the noise of the Mavic 3 down.
As we reported before the DJI Mavic 3 seems to come with the exact same remote controller that we know from the DJI Air 2S. The DJI Mavic 3 Cine Premium Combo has the new DJI Smart Controller V2.0 with a built-in display.
The DJI Mavic 3 Cine Premium Combo or Cine Edition (we’re not 100% sure of the final naming convention) is recognizable by the gold-colored letters that spell out the word CINE on the front arms. It is also a friendly reminder that you will have paid a pretty penny for this latest DJI drone.
The DJI Mavic 3 Cine Premium Combo has the new DJI Smart Controller V2.0 with a built-in display. This combo also has an extra set of ND Filters, it seems based on the hi-res photo below.
DJI Mavic 3 accessories
The DJI Mavic 3 features a completely new battery design. The batteries slide into the back of the drone as we have seen with the DJI Mavic Mini, Mini2, Mini SE, and the DJI Phantom Series. The DJI Mavic Series also had batteries that you would insert from the top. The slide-in battery style is likely better as it cannot easily fall out of the drone.
The photo below shows the strap that will hold the propellers in place during transport.
Let us know what you think of these high-resolution photos of the DJI Mavic 3 in all its three versions in the comments below.

Going to be so expensive. Annoyed with only 500m altitude limit. So can’t go up mountains in Colorado or NY.
Is the camera better than autel evo ii pro?

โThe altitude of the small unmanned aircraft cannot be higher than 400 feet above ground level unless the small unmanned aircraft is (1) flown within a 400-foot radius of a structure, and (2) does not fly higher than 400 feet above the structure’s immediate uppermost limit.โ So, you can fly in the mountains! https://pilotinstitute.com/drone-altitute/
