DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise - The NEW King of Drone Photogrammetry

In this video, we go over a full review of the Mavic 3 Enterprise and its capabilities. We put it against the DJI Inspire 2 and Skydio drone to see how it stacks up in real-world tests. Additionally, we test out the RTK capabilities and show off why this drone paired up with RTK will blow everything else out of the water when it comes to the raw data you can produce with this tiny but mighty piece of hardware.

At this point, anyone that’s doing photogrammetry should be using an RTK drone. Fantastic review and comparison!

[thiagoamaralf]

Not only the best review I could find but you also inform important facts about accuracy and important features to perform well with your clients. I could not be more pleased thank you!!!!

Hey there Dylan. Top notch review of this new drone. You covered just about everything and I am now contemplating acquiring this drone for my business. Great content and great educational video!

[DimmyV]

I'd love to see a video how the RTK works and how to use it. Great video Dylan.

Very detailed sharing, I also used this drone for my recent shooting

[craig_drummond]

So CloudCityDrones has the M3E for about $4600 (with the battery bundle) and the RTK module (not base station) is an additional $709. The RTK bundle with base station, RTK module and tripod is about $9100. The M3E Thermal is about $6, 600 but I can’t find if you can add the RTK module to the thermal version or if you would ever want this? Is the extra 2K for thermal camera worth it for a startup mapping company or would the full RTK bundle be the best choice?

Also, do you plan on having any Texas stops on your upcoming tour? Specifically the Austin area?

Fantastic rundown on the system Dylan. Very well put together! I’ve just picked up the RTK2 base station to use with the Inspire 3 primarily for repeatable move accuracy on film sets and photogrammetry for VFX. Looking forward to learning more about the system. Shame you’re not in the UK as I would’ve signed up for your workshop! All the best!

Good to know about Florida. I'm fixing to get this drone soon and I'm based off Orlando, so that's gonna be great help!

Greetings from Russia, colleague! Great video.

[LsDrones]

I'm new in photogrametry but it sounds super interesting! Great video man!

[mediamannaman]

Does the RTK module on the drone work if my state does not have an RTK network (OR DOES NOT MAKE IT AVAILABLE - Texas!) and I don't have a base station?

[baf]

Do you need a ground station with this? can it work without a ground station or can you use RTK2go as an alternative?

[adronesperspectiveperspect]

Dylan, just watch the video. Outstanding job on showing the capabilities of the M3E especially as it compares to other DJI drones.

[Benthe]

Would you consider doing a work shop over in Toronto?

[garyrendano]

so did u connect to that rtk network with this? or is it getting a tenth of a foot with just the RTK antenna alone?

[areasurvivor]

Great video as always, keep up the good work!

[DoYouKnowDrones]

Great video, Dylan. A few thoughts wearing my Certified Drone Mapping Scientist hat… there is a BIG difference between the camera positional accuracy and absolute positional accuracy. The 0.1 ft positional accuracy reported only applies to the location of the drone camera NOT the accuracy of the orthomosaic. You would need to use a few check point GCPs to verify the positional accuracy of the orthomosaic, but it is still NOT survey grade unless a licensed surveyor stamps the product as such. All that being said…. Awesome Video!

Congratulations Dylan on your channel.

Good evening @Dylan Gorman I was curious what the difference is between the mavic 3 pro and the mavic 3 enterprise.

[fdnyfish]

Does the enterprise drone have waypoints that will fly its full mission even if it loses connection to the controller?
