DJI Mavic 3 Setup and Settings for the Best Video and Photos

These are the best settings and setup I have found for the way I work with the DJI Mavic 3. I walk you through the app and show you how I have setup photo and video modes as well as the custom buttons that can be programed. I also walk you through the advanced safety settings and how I have the RCpro setup to work with the Mavic 3. I also give you some tips on how to expose and shoot videos and photos for the best results.

I pulled the trigger this morning and ordered the DJI Mavic 3 Cine Premium Combo. I flew many R/C helicopters and R/C cars and I'm going to enjoy this drone for sure, thanks for this video.

Really good practical information, as in all of your videos. I am using this over the dji tutorials for my first flight after changing from the Air 2s. The dji tutorials are fine but I like the background on why you choose certain settings. The footage you show in your videos speaks for itself. Nice work, and nice advice! Thanks

Jake, not sure why other people do not do such important overview and guidance as you did in this video. Max respect to you!

[navneethshenoy]

Thanks for this video! Very good info. Will be using this in Fairbanks pretty soon. Hope I get some great winter drone shots!

Jake, really appreciate the focus on the DJI camera. I recently got a Mavic 3 and have been focusing on flight techniques. Looking forward to improving the camera skills.

I keep coming back to your videos for the best advice with my drones …thanks so much it’s a wealth of knowledge I can respect

Great video. For me, the video and camera settings, in any drone, is very challenging more so than flying. Just received my Mavic 3 today getting that beast ready for flight.

[ConceptNewEra]

Thank you super helpful! I’m thinking about getting this drone or the 2S! 💯✔️🔥

Excellent Tutorial Video Jake. Thank You.

[robertriva]

Oh my! So much to learn. So can you tell me what the difference between the SMART CONTROLLER and the RC Pro CONTROLLER?

[HansonAirPhoto]

Great walkthrough on the Fly app! I'm coming from the Mavic 2 and the older Go app, so it was a big help! Thank you!

[After.Gravity]

Very helpful video! 👍
What aperture is more sharp.?

Hi Jake love your videos, I recently bought a Mavic 3 Pro and was curious to know why the viewing screen on the controller changes in size from camera view to Video viewing screen unless Change the Aspect Ratio to 16.9 then it stays the same, have I change some setting, no seems to explain this I'm only new to this but watch all your videos regards Ian from New Zealand

[webjournalisten]

As a new Mavic 3 owner and beginner this is very helpful info. Thanks a lot! :-) But I struggle to find the link to your friend Jevin Doe's beginner tutorial?

I have a 2yr old gaming laptop and it's opposite. Playing back 5.1k in H.264 has heavy chop to the point the footage pauses for a full second then jumps ahead. 5.1k in H.265 is smooth like butter.
