What’s the deal with the dual cameras?
The Mavic 3 combines an upgraded Pro camera inspired by the Mavic 2 Pro’s 1” Hasselblad camera with an all-new 7X optical zoom camera inspired by the incredible versatility of the Mavic 2 Zoom. With two cameras in one, you no longer have to choose between a Pro and Zoom camera, the one drone now comes with both!
Sporting a 4/3” Hasselblad CMOS sensor, the Mavic 3’s pro camera is in a league of its own, delivering 5.1K video and stunning 20MP stills. With a new larger sensor, details and colours in your image become more vivid and more flexible to work with in the editing bay. Plus, with an adjustable F/2.8 - F/11 aperture, you’ll receive full creative control over your image’s exposure and colour.
The telephoto zoom camera sports a 1/2" CMOS sensor for capturing far-away scenes in up to 4K. The telephoto lens supports up to 7X optical zoom, a huge leap forward from the 2X optical zoom found on the Mavic 2 Zoom and practically unheard of on a consumer series drone But that’s not all, with support for 4X digital zoom, you can achieve up to 28X hybrid zoom to make even the most distant subject fill up your frame.
What's new?
So what’s new? Well... a lot. On top of the incredible camera improvements featured on the Mavic 3, the Mavic 3 is built with improved obstacle avoidance sensors that support omnidirectional obstacle avoidance and APAS 5.0, meaning you’ll always have a safe flight. Plus, the new ActiveTrack 5.0 algorithm takes full advantage of these improved sensors to deliver the most accurate tracking on a DJI drone yet.
What else is new? With larger, more efficient Intelligent Flight Batteries, the Mavic 3 is capable of an unheard-of 46 minutes of flight time with a single battery! That’s a 50% increase over the Mavic 2 series!
Anything else? The Mavic 2 allowed pilots to fly further than ever before with the revolutionary OcuSync wireless video transmission system. Now with the improved O3+ wireless video transmission system, you can control and receive full HD video transmission from the Mavic 3 from up to a whopping 15 km away! Yes, you read that right, 15 km transmission!
There can’t be more… can there? Oh yes, there can be! DJI fans have loved QuickShots for years, and with Mavic 3, you can experience QuickShots in a whole new way with MasterShots. First introduced with the DJI Air 2S in mid-2021, MasterShots enables you to capture an entire reel of stunning aerial shots with a single tap. Capturing dynamic content has never been this easy!
