![]() The Mavic 3 has a truly gigantic camera for a drone. However, with the Mavic 3, I didn't have any problems worth mentioning. I've used many of their drones and cameras, and I often encounter issues with firmware and activation getting them up and running. Setting up the Mavic 3 was free of the hiccups I typically experience setting up a DJI product. That might be my biggest complaint about the Mavic 3, but it’s a gripe I was able to set aside due to the overwhelming excellence of the system overall. ![]() Unfortunately, the Mavic 3 is not compatible with the older DJI Smart Controller, which is the predecessor to the RC Pro controller, and which many people, including me, already own. If you opt for one of the more expensive bundles, you get DJI’s new RC Pro controller, a much better way to pilot the Mavic 3, but it’s painfully expensive and somewhat difficult to recommend. I flew with an iPad Mini, which, once set up, is a great experience, but the time it takes to attach the controller to the tablet adds valuable time to the process of getting in the air. It doesn’t have a built-in screen, so you’ll have to use a smartphone with it to fly. What accessories you get will depend on which bundle you buy, but if you opt for one of the less expensive bundles, you’ll get the standard DJI remote controller, which is kind of a disappointment, as this is the same controller bundled with several of DJIs less expensive drones. This feature safeguards the gimbal and the motors, blades, and sensors from damage during transit. Additionally, a rugged wrap-around hood replaces the finicky plastic bubble previously used to protect the camera and gimbal. The gimbal and camera now lock automatically when the drone is powered down. Other than that, it still deploys and stows away using the same folding configuration as the Mavic 2, though notably, there are some subtle yet significant upgrades in this regard. Secondly, the batteries now load from the back of the drone and are long and rectangular in shape. The basic shape of the drone isn’t much different from the Mavic 2, with some notable exceptions.įor one, the camera on this thing is huge, which should come as no surprise given the massive upgrades DJI packed into that portion of the drone. The biggest difference is the camera, where the Mavic 3 features in its dual-camera system both a larger sensor than the Mavic 2 Pro and a longer zoom than the Mavic 2 Zoom.Īnyone who’s flown one of DJI’s modern camera drones will find much of the design of the Mavic 3 familiar. ![]() Key upgrades over previous Mavic series drones include ADS-B Airsense capability to help you stay safe and avoid manned aircraft, as well as increased speed and battery life. This drone can do things never before seen in a consumer product of this kind, but is it worth the steep price tag? ![]() That changes with the Mavic 3, which not only offers a significantly larger image sensor in its main camera but also includes an impressive superzoom camera for telephoto shots. If you want to get into aerial photography, you may find that the limiting factor in any relatively affordable drone is its camera. DJI provided us with a review unit for one of our writers to test. ![]()
