DJI Mavic 3 tested in Alaska Initial Hands On Review

DJI finally released the Mavic 3! How big are the improvements over the mavic 2 and is it worth it for you to buy one?

I tested it for a week in Alaska and came away with some strong first impressions. Come along with me and discover if the Mavic 3 is the right drone for your needs and your budget. while this drone isnt cheap the image quality out of the new 4/3 sensor camera is fantastic for video and photo. It has great obstacle avoidance and an incredible 46 minutes of flight time. DJI has released a worth upgrade in the Mavic 3.

I consider myself an amateur photographer and you're of one of a few YouTube vloggers that I can depend on to provide an objective review. I can't wait when the "real" Mavic 3 is out to see what improvements they'll make so I look forward when that day comes. Good review as usual and awesome, awesome videos and images.

Hi Jake! You and Jeven turned your review videos into true adventure documentaries! You both introduced us to the Mavic 3's great features, as well as the problems that need to be addressed. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this video! I plan to travel to Kenai to visit my sister sometime this summer and will be bringing my M3 and Air2s drones with me in the hopes of capturing some great footage!

Well done Jake. It’s nice to see the Candy Cane (Santa’s Sleigh) taking you to some amazing places in PWS and around Valdez. Mike and Leigh are awesome guides and promoters of this fantastic place.

Some of the best videography I've seen in Alaska. Thank you for sharing. I'd like to also say its always a good thing to have a friend who owns a helicopter

Looking forward to your drone comparison videos..you got wonderful footage, and the 5.1k 10-bit looks great! Impressed about the USB-C charging, that is definitely a well needed feature!

Howdy Jake, excellent production, testing, and first review of the new DJI Mavic 3. YES, the pricing on the CINE model is over the top. I'll be watching for your additional thoughts and reviews once you receive your new Mavic 3. Thank you for your outstanding production and seeing Jeven with you on this flight; I hope you guys had a wonderful time.

What a fantastic adventure Jake! The fly through of the ice cave at spot #2 was absolutely amazing. I loved the aerial footage from the tail perspective of the helicopter. WTG in up leveling your video story telling! The Mavic 3 video and image quality and color grading was very impressive. I can’t justify an upgrade from an MA2 to a M3 at this time, but would look into renting such an amazing platform. I look forward to seeing more features after the firmware is updated. Thank you for this video and showing us a few of Alaska’s amazing treasures.

I own mavic 3 also and it is very good drone but i found out some issue with footage that not many people notice it. It is magenta/purple cast on sides of the footage compare to center. It is visible a specialy on white uniform surface. It is visible also on your footage. Take a look at 14:47. Snow on right side is pinkish compare to more greenish on the center. The same is on DNG still images. It should be conistent on all frame but it is not. I hope DJI make something with it in next firmware

[SkyStudioWest]

Even the beginning of the video is breathtaking! Who else uses a helicopter to go to places to test a new drone?! It's great to be subscribed to your channel!

Have you ever thought of uploading in an 18:9 aspect ratio? Or is the 16:9 ratio a preference? Great video!
