The new storage cover is a big upgrade. DJI clearly spent some time designing it and making it easy to take on and off while doing what it’s supposed to do. Protect the camera and gimbal. Nice work! Final Thoughts When the remote controller (RC-N1) is used, press the Fn button and then toggle the gimbal dial to zoom in or out. The DJI Mavic 3 family has new additions: The Mavic 3 Enterprise and Mavic 3 Thermal join the Mavic 3, Mavic 3 Cine, and Mavic 3 Classic in this upgraded generation of lightweight, portable drones. The Mavic 3 is an exciting drone from DJI. The new Hasselblad camera is one feature that stands out as it has a Micro Four Thirds sensor that will help with lowlight performance and overall image quality. DJI sent me the Mavic 3, not the Cine version, for review. For the most part, they are very similar, but the Cine model has more internal storage and records ProRes HQ. Why no other ProRes options? Good question. I think for most users, the Mavic 3, not “cine,” will be a better option as H.265 is pretty darn good. Firmware Updates The camera system is mounted on a 3-axis motorized gimbal to ensure every shot is smooth and steady. While the body of the Mavic 3 is covered with six fisheye and two wide-angle avoidance sensors, aka Omnidirectional Obstacle Avoidance, to protect the drone from unintentional collisions and assist with autonomous flight. Like most any global navigational satellite system these days, the Mavic 3 contains multiple receivers for different satellite positioning systems. The GPS, Galileo, and BeiDou receivers ensure the drone’s positioning requiring systems work effectively across the globe. Intriguingly, opting for the EU Galileo system over the Russian GLONASS system like in the Mavic Air 2S or the DJI FPV drones. Could this have to do with changing EU drone regulations? EU drone classification laws have not yet been finalized, so it is hard to say for certain.
This blog will examine each drone's core features and highlight their suitability for their specific industry vertical. DJI Mavic 3 vs Mavic 3 Cine vs Mavic 3 Classic vs Mavic 3 Enterprise vs Mavic 3 Thermal vs Mavic 3 Multispectral: At A Glance Measured in an outdoor, open environment, without interference, and with FCC compliance. The above data shows the farthest communication range for one-way, non-return flights. Pay attention to RTH reminders in the DJI Fly app during your flight. However, an important note is that Apple ProRes is supported across all three cameras on the Mavic 3 Pro Cine, whereas these codecs can only be used on content captured with the Hasselblad camera on the Mavic 3 Cine, and not the Tele camera. The DJI Mavic 3T is built with public safety, search and rescue, inspection and thermal mapping in mind.Enter the Video mode and select 4K and above resolution, enter Settings-Camera-Coding Format and select ProRes. Then a video can be recorded with Apple ProRes 422 HQ encoding. Erik is an 18 time Emmy award-winning DP, with over 20 years experience in photojournalism, working in newsrooms all over the USA. Data is tested under different standards in open areas free of interference. It only refers to the maximum, one-way flight distance without considering Return to Home. Please pay attention to RTH prompts in the DJI Fly app during actual flight. Below are the updates that have been released since the introduction of the Mavic 3. Firmware Version 01.00.0400 (Dec 2021) Strong Interference (urban landscape, limited line of sight, many competing signals): Approx. 1.5-3 km
With a large price difference between the Mavic Air 2S and the Mavic 3, there is speculation about another new Mavic drone coming to fill that gap. If your budget doesn’t allow for such a lavish upgrade, it might be worth waiting a few months to see if more rumors come out. There is no guarantee of this mid-level Mavic, it’s all conjecture, but DJI could have wanted the Mavic 3 to stand on its own as the best portable drone there is and the price to go up along with it. It could also be a byproduct of the global supply shortages that seem to plague every industry this year. Without DJI confirming any of this, only time will tell. January 2022 Updates: Explore and Capture more – the DJI Mavic 3 drone offers a 15-kilometer max transmission range, which means you can fly farther to explore and capture more. And with the O3 Plus Transmission system, live feeds are smooth and stable. The drone also warns you of nearby aircraft using ADS-B; a useful safety feature. (Image credit: Adam Juniper/Digital Camera World) Imaging Above Everything – With a 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad Camera, the sensor provides a 12.8-stop dynamic range that retains more details in highlights and shadows, upgrading your work to a professional level..Min focal length : 12In-depth comparison between the DJI Mavic 3 Pro, DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine, DJI Mavic 3 Classic, DJI Mavic 3, and DJI Mavic 3 Cine - all designed for aerial content creation; DJI’s newest revision of the Mavic line is nothing short of impressive. While the Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine feature a sleek upgrade to the body with thinner arms and smoother lines, yet it still retains that iconic Mavic look. DJI boasts the imaging system on the Mavic 3 as its pièce de resistance, stating “Imaging Above Everything” and the camera system onboard proves it. Featuring a massive 20 MP Hasselblad 4/3rds CMOS image sensor, more commonly seen in small DSLR and mirrorless cameras than on drones. This sensor captures colors and hues unparalleled in previous revisions of the Mavic.
Optical Comparison: 1x v 7x stills from Richmond Park flying field, which is around 14km from The Shard on the right (Image credit: Adam Juniper/Digital Camera World) Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 3 Cine also feature dual Tele cameras, while Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine have a single Tele camera; All of the Mavic 3 platforms are quality content-creation drones, sharing key features such as the 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad sensor for 20MP imaging, and ability to shoot 5.1K/50fps video and epic 4K/120fps slow-motion.There is no optical zoom lens either; operation of the zoom is through software and the system switches from one camera to the other at the appropriate moment, like a multi-lens mobile phone, though somewhat less fluidly. In Explorer Mode you typically tap through zoom multiples; 1x, 2x, 4x, 7x (the optical ratio of the zoom in comparison to the main one), 14x, 28x. Predictably the 28x option, dependant as it is on a lot of digital help, is not exactly sharp. Perhaps some softness would come from gimbal vibration at this zoom level, digital 28x isn’t going to provide the clarity a paparazzo might be hoping for.
You can adjust and turn them off if you know what you are doing and the sensors are inhibiting your shot. The Mavic 3 will constantly give audible warnings when something is getting close to it. Sensing System Still shot with the main Four Thirds Hasselblad camera (Image credit: Adam Juniper/Digital Camera World) In a nutshell, each drone in the Mavic 3 range has a very defined role to play, based on their specific capabilities: Mavic 3, Mavic 3 Cine, and Mavic 3 Classic are aimed at content creators, with the Cine especially suited to high-end filmmaking; the Mavic 3 Enterprise is engineered for high-precision, centimetre-accurate surveying and inspection; the Mavic 3 Thermal is designed for search and rescue, public safety and thermal inspection and thermal mapping; and the Mavic 3M is best suited to agriculture, land management, and environmental monitoring. Based on their specifications and characteristics, each one has its own target audience, whether that's content creation, surveying, public safety, inspection, thermal mapping, agriculture, or land management. Downward: Surface with a clear pattern and adequate lighting (lux >15). Diffuse reflective surface with diffuse reflectivity>20% (e.g. wall, tree, person)These two new content-creation drones follow the original Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine - unveiled in November 2021 - and the Mavic 3 Classic, which arrived a year later. Mavic 3 was released in early November, and a lot of early adopters were disappointed with the bugs that the aircraft had and many missing features. The most current firmware version is 01.00.0500, and to date, it has opened up the features people were waiting for. I think it would have been a good idea to wait before releasing a drone that needs a lot of updates to be fully functional. I believe DJI wanted to hit the market for the holiday shopping season and decided to go for it and fix it in post. LOL.
Great Deal
