DJI Mavic 3 Pro - The Last Drone You’ll Need

Last Drone you ever need, unless you need mapping and no geo fencing.

do you need a drone pilot license to fly the dji mavic 3 pro to fly it here in canada?

I bought this drone and I cannot stop flying. I look for opportunities to fly every chance I get. My shots stand head and shoulders above my peers while working on a story.

I think it’s a ripoff that waypoint flight is not part of the software now. I used to get awesome shots with my Phantom 3 Pro being able to control camera direction also. I used my Phantom more than I did my Inspire and all customers were happy. Drone Deploy charges $600 for waypoints now? I’ve been more into the FPV side lately with the Avata, DJIFPV and homebuilt long range drones with the DJI 03 air unit. Is waypoint flying really pay per fly now?

Wait a minute I thought the limit of Maximum flight height set by the Federal Aviation Administration was 500 m.

No vertical Motors almost a plus. I hate vertical mode. The scary part is that the 7x doesn't have D log I don't know why they can't have the same picture profile across all three lenses.

Maybe some lessons would help bud

Was that SiggiWorld in the footage there?

This is a C2 in Europe right?

Not sure where you got your specs but DJI spec sheet says:

6000m max takeoff altitude not sure what your 1000m referred to.

Max level speed 47mph

The lenses are not where your vid showed in the part with lines to the lenses from text in the field.

Am I missing
Something?

I was flying the MP3 last week for work and was super amazed on what it can do. The fact that I was flying in an area about 5 or more miles from the Philly skyline and when I tapped the 7x on the remote and it punched in to the Philly skyline so it filled the screen was insane! I could see traffic, people walking around, could even read the words and tail number of a helicopter flying over the skyline and here I was over five miles away! Mind blown what this drone can do! Definitely game changing!!!

Sorry. Say again about the 1000m altitude bit please 🎉

Just got the drone. It's so sick. Can't seem to find a D-Log M - Rec 709 LUT. Does DJI make one?

Iphone drone be like! 🤣

What si the best editing software you recommend for a private drone user just starting out i use MacBook Pro and IPad Pro

till the Mavic 4 pro comes out :)

Wait I thought that the Mavic 3 was the last one I’d need 😢.

😂Honestly … it’s not worth the upgrade unless those few extra spec is absolutely needed !! Or if you have the money and want the latest gear 🤷‍♂️


At the end of the day .. use what you have … don’t sweat over having the best one.. it’s literally placebo untill you actually relize the upgrade was all in your head …

I currently have the air 2s & the mavic 3 .. and I find myself not being able to pin point any difference when comparing side by side … unless you wnat to find one …

Lmao .. but take the time to reaswvh and see which wouod best suit you!! Good luck out there gang 💛

One question : Does LightCut work with this drone❓ I understand you are a pro doing edits in the MacPro but what if I want to invest in a pro drone for short quality videos rather than investing in a 22 grand Mac Pro computer to edit 8K or even 12K video?

How to go 1000m in altitude? Didn't find the option.

How is no one talking about how terribly the 3 series handles compared to the Mavic 2 Pro? What an incredible handicap the implementation of coordinated turns is to the manueverability of the 3 series. How is this not something that can be toggled on and off?

🎶 Watch your back!

I wish they still had the trade up program. I got pro 1 and 2 and I don’t want to spend another 2500 on the 3. See them at 4 pro 😂

Are folk just ignoring the weight issue or upgrading to A2 C.O.C in The U.K for fun fliers?

I crashed the first mavic & I just had to replace the prepelers but about a month later the gimbal stop working & I found out that the crash ripped a cable & it just took sometime with use for it to get bad enough

What Im trying to understand is, when they came out with the Mavic 3 classic, a lot of people were very happy because many users agreed that the telephoto wasnt that necessary and that most people werent using it..then they decided to add 2 more telephotos. Could anybody tell me why now this is a better choice than a Mavic 3 classic. Serious inquiry

I don't think it's legal to fly at 1000 meters above your own location unless you reserve the air space for yourself which costs quite a much. Also the previous controller would have allowed such a height but it was a software limitation. The same limitation was with original Mavic 3 until November 2022

My 3 Pro shipped today. Not going to agonize about "is it worth it" nonsense. It's the newest Flagship - all these arguments played out when Air 2S mounted a better camera. When Mustangs get restyled. When the iPhone added a camera. It's silly. If you can afford it, and want it, just buy it. If it's "too much" note that it's appropriately $150 more than what it replaces. If you just bought the 3, keep it. It's a fantastic drone.

Untill the next one comes out 😂

I’ve been shooting with the mavic 3 Cine for almost 2 years now, and don’t know if it’s worth upgrading. The parallax I love with the 7x zoom, though one can definitely see the difference in picture quality from the main camera in the OG 3 Cine. Besides the frame rate change up from 25 and 30fps in the tele cameras to 60fps in the new one, is there a major difference in picture quality than the oG mavic 3 cine?

Stevewilldoit intro :D

This drone will be illegal to own and operate in the US.

Stoked that this one performs so well!!! Also, I think it's hilarious that you always say DGI instead of DJI. 🤣

So the 7x camera been upgraded as well? If so, what are the differences between it and the one on the original mavic 3?

Eminem 😅

Definitely need this drone as a next upgrade

Nice upgrade with the additional camera. It's definitely lacking portrait mode (vertical shots) that are included on the Mini 3 pro and the option to purchase without a controller.

No DLog in the zoom cameras is a deal breaker for me

mindblown Guruji

I wished they could make the gimbal to go vertical as well the only missing thing on this drone which IMO should have been there.

someone, anyone 3rd party, find a way to put this onto an Osmo pocket so we don't look like fools walking around a wedding or event with a drone all the time!

Been looking at drones for ages. Really wish my stomach could stomach FPV, but this might finally be something to pick up for freelance work and dope personal cinematic sequences. DJI really has been killing it recently.

To much advertisement to less useful information about the product…

Third 166 mm camera is noisy even in the daylight and kinda low quality to compared to the first two...

Lovely stuff. I'm going to buy this drone.

Great it has 15km range. Are you going to fly it at 15k? 10k? no most places require you to have unaided VLOS. What this shows is the strength and the lower likelihood of interference.

I love having the zooms available as it will let me have options on where to fly. I will now get shots without moving the drone over people etc.

The footage is fantastic and I love snow. Great review, Chris!

On the goggle integration apparently we won't be able to use the goggles alongside the RC controller as you mention but only alongside the Motion controller ;)

DJI Mavic 3 Pro - The Last Drone You’ll Need... until the next one comes out

How did the battery hold with cold temperatures.. By the way great review.. Looking forward to getting this drone.
