DJI Mavic 3 drone review

The Mavic 3 is the best enthusiast drone on the market, delivering top quality footage thanks to the Four Thirds Sensor uncanny stabilization. It’s also easier and safer than ever to fly thanks to excellent obstacle avoidance, return to home features and more.

Damn, that video quality is insane!!!

@6:32 😂 That just earned you another subscriber. And thank you for not even being a drone specialist and getting the zoom right. A+

A micro four thirds sensor is 1.89 times larger than one inch sensor. You should calculate the surface area because that is relavant for pixel size. Bigger pixels result in better low light performance

This is a great review, but my OCD is really bothered by the specks of dust on the camera in all of those close up shots. :)

Beautiful shots of Gien and the Loire valley

Mine just arrived today, got the fly more combo and this thing is better in person than watching in on YouTube. It is so massive and stands like a bulldog. The video quality is better compared to my Air 2S. It is so visible. The convertible bag it comes with is super premium, and well designed. The convertible bag can convert into 3 mode, Suitcase mode, Backpack mode and Courier bag mode (meaning the strap across your chest). The battery life is crazy long. I was shooting and one battery last me the whole flying time, I got every footage I wanted with just one battery and still have 29% left. It is quieter than previous drones. I love it but I still think the price is too high. I think flymore combo should be $2500 and Drone only package should be $2100. but that think is massive and heavy it can resist harder winds.

6:46 so surprised to see that even on the brand new Mavic 3, it still produces stuttery footage, is this a hardware or user error?

[legendarycockroach]

What I'm sure of is that the Mavic 3 set the bar higher for upcoming pro-level drones!

Obstacles sencer errors 180037 solution?

This is a solid upgrade even if you completely ignore the secondary camera. It's nice to see that DJI has some photography sense as they increased sensor size while keeping the megapixels same.

Does this drone have follow me or active track?

[doodieman]

It's normal I guess for users especially the casual flyers to feel the sticker shock but when you look closely at the features you'd understand it's worth it! Though in my opinion, this drone is intended most specially for professionals.

Noticed if you get to 8:46 you call it the Mavic 5 lol i had to take a double take because i said man did i hear that? Great video though....

[MR-AK]

Active track and auto fly lack of capabilities suck on this. Skydio beats this in that category . They need to really get that right. Who has time to have two people operating while one acts

I returned my DJI Mini 2 and sold my Mavic 3, opting for the Autel Nano+ and the EVO 2 because of the DJI GeoFence Flight Restrictions, which Autel does NOT implement...

It does pan..Only 5° each way, but still. I'm awaiting my 2nd Fly More. Defects and issues with first one, including a poorly stitched cover and a bag with a tumor inside the lining. Probably a dead Chinese mouse 🐁 other that that and warped wavy props and gaining altitude right up to max without any throttle input, it was perfect. For $3000.

PS 50% boost in Flight Time is not range. Range is up 50% too, now 15km, compared to 10km on predecessor. Battery is 46 minutes rated compared to 31, so also 50% improvement but don't confuse battery with range 🙄 not the same thing.

Yeah this camera should of been 24 mg not 20mg

I found the vision anti collision system needs a lot more work. Mine slammed into a large utility street light .. DJI stays..

This isn’t a review, it’s an advertisement. The Air 2S is a better drone than the M3, regardless of the price. DJI dropped the ball on the Mavic 3
