DJI Mavic 3 Pro

DJI Mavic 3 Pro Overview:

Triple Cameras

The Mavic 3 Pro is the first DJI drone to feature three cameras. The main camera remains the same as the Mavic 3, with a 20MP 24mm 4/3-inch CMOS sensor with Hasselblad tuning.

It allows you to capture 12-bit RAW photos with a native dynamic range of up to 12.8 stops, and record video at up to 5.1K at 50fps or DCI 4K at 120fps. The Mavic 3 Pro also features a new 10-bit D-Log M color mode.

With this, you can record videos with up to one billion colors (10-bit) and natural color gradations even in high-contrast scenarios, like sunrises and sunsets. As a result, DJI says the D-Log M mode reduces the difficulty of color grading for editors.

Additionally, the telephoto camera with a 1/2″ sensor and a 15° field of view (FoV) remains unchanged too. But DJI has made some modifications here. The focal length has been slightly increased from 162mm to 166mm, and the aperture has been widened from f/4.4 to f/3.4. The telephoto camera can now also record 4K@60fps videos.

Moreover, the Mavic 3 Pro now boasts a new “medium-tele” camera with a 70mm lens. It’s a 1/3-inch CMOS sensor with 3x optical zoom that allows you to shoot 48/12MP photos, 4K/60fps video, and the new D-log M.

Mavic 3 Pro “Cine”

Meanwhile, for those who want even more advanced video capabilities, such as shooting RAW videos, you can opt for the Mavic 3 Pro Cine. This variant enables you to record in Apple ProRes (422 HQ, 422, and 422 LT) encoding from all three cameras. And it also has 1TB of internal storage to handle that footage.

Interestingly, it’s a few grams heavier than the standard Pro, weighing in at 963 grams compared to 958 grams. But for the most part, the Cine variant shares the same features as the Mavic 3 Pro.

Battery

Moving on, the drone offers a flight time of up to 43 minutes. Although it’s 3 minutes less than the Mavic 3, this reduction in flight time is worth it given all the upgrades that come with the Pro variant. But if you are using DJI’s APAS 5.0 obstacle avoidance technology while shooting videos, the flight time may be even shorter.

Others

Apart from this, the Mavic 3 Pro has many of the same features as the Mavic 3. It still utilizes DJI’s “OccuSync” O3+ technology for 1080p/60 live feed transmission to the DJI RC controller. And DJI’s video editing app, LightCut, provides robust shooting and editing capabilities.

You can preview footage without exporting it, and the AI-based One-Tap Edit feature enables intuitive editing. Additionally, the Mavic 3 Pro comes with DJI’s full suite of “intelligent” modes, including FocusTrack, MasterShots, QuickShots, and Panorama.
