Aerial photo- and videography with the DJI Mavic 3

I have been fortunate enough to have been flying the DJI Mavic 3 for the last week or so, and while that is too short for a detailed review I can tell you that my first impressions of DJI's latest drone are really good. The DJI Mavic 3 flies as any DJI drone you've ever flown. It is simple and intuitive to use with the excellent and improved O3+ video transmission system.

The 46 minutes flight time per battery is amazing and allows you to carefully craft your shots and retake aerial videos until you get it just right. Love it.

To capture the aerial photos and videos the DJI Mavic 3 uses a 4/3 CMOS camera and 28x hybrid zoom camera, that takes 20MP and 12MP still respectively. The M3 can record video up to 5.1K at 50 FPS and DCI 4K at up to 120 FPS, however, this will become available at a later point in time through a .

The main Hasselblad camera features a 24mm wide-angle prime lens with an 84-degree field of view and variable aperture that ranges from f/2.8 to f/11. The second camera features a 162mm telephoto lens. Combined these two lenses offer a 28 digital zoom capability.

“Creating the Mavic 3 was an arduous journey for our engineers who tackled complex technical problems to serve the goal that the Mavic series has always met – build professional-quality imaging and flight technology into a compact consumer drone,” said Ferdinand Wolf, Creative Director, DJI . “The result is incredible. Mavic 3 enables users to effortlessly make epic shots without compromising on small size, stunning performance, pervasive flight safety, and dazzling image quality. We are confident that this drone will astonish videography and photography enthusiasts, as well as professional production houses and media workers around the globe.”

The DJI Mavic 3 has support for Apple ProRes 422 HQ and H.264/H.265 with video capabilities up to 5.1k@50fps, DCI 4k@120fps, 4k@120fps. Videos can be recorded in a 10-bit D-Log color profile.

As a result of its partnership with Hasselblad and its Natural Color Solution (HNCS), DJI claims that the Mavic 3 series can deliver extremely accurate color straight out of the camera. The Natural Color Solution (HNCS), according to DJI, is based on decades of photographic experience and was first introduced to DJI cameras with the Mavic 2 Pro.

The photos and videos that I have been able to shoot with the DJI Mavic 3 show a wide dynamic range that provides detail in the shadows and prevents blown-out highlights. Both the photos and video is beautiful, sharp and a step beyond what we'd get out of the DJI Mavic 2 Pro. I will include a link to downloadable, and unedited original photo and video files in various formats.

Temporarily missing features on the DJI Mavic 3

Some features such as auto-exposure bracketing, 120 FPS 4K video recording and APAS 5.0, ActiveTrack 5.0, and the 4G Network-Powered Transmission dongle are still missing on the DJI Mavic 3, but will be made available at a later point in time through firmware updates or otherwise. Think January 2022.

Obstacle avoidance on the DJI Mavic 3

The DJI Mavic 3 has omnidirectional, obstacle avoidance and while features such as APAS 5.0 and ActiveTrack 5.0 weren't available to test, I can say that the drone confidentially flies through forests and avoids all trees and branches. I have found it to be very impressive and beyond what we have come to expect from any previous DJI drone. Well done, DJI!

The DJI Mavic 3 had , also known as Technology onboard to warn drone pilots of any nearby airplanes or helicopters that have an active ADS-B Out signal.

Range on the DJI Mavic 3

DJI lists the video transmission range of the DJI Mavic 3 to around 10 miles, which is more than you are legally allowed to fly in most as far as I know. However, the range is not important for the actual maximum distance but much more so for the quality of the signal and its ability to deal with interference. the DJI Mavic 3 does better than any other DJI drone I have ever tested. the were already really good with their OcuSync 2.0 systems, but the DJI Mavic 3 with O3+ takes the connection to a whole new level. the drone provides a live feed to the remote controller of 1080p at 60 FPS.

Weight of the DJI Mavic 3

According to DJI the DJI Mavic 3 Cine Premium Edition with the 1TB internal memory weighs 899 grams and the regular DJI Mavic 3 comes in at 895 grams. This is lighter than the outgoing DJI Mavic 2 Pro and less than 900 grams which will excite drone pilots in Europe.

The DJI Mavic 3 looks and feels even more aerodynamic and more purposeful than before. I remember that I was impressed with the DJI Mavic 2 Pro when it first came out. The M3 again improves on the weight, look, and feel. hands down.

the mobile device more quickly through the Wi-Fi 6 protocol.
