Your videos are by far some of the most helpful on YouTube. Everyone else is reading specs from a pdf.

Steel, Thanks-amazing, see you on my side-💯

[Wadesez]

Best DJI Enterprise review I've found, thanks for this. The explanation on price between the Mavic 3e and 2 was helpful too as I couldn't understand why I was seeing the 2 prices higher in some places.

[kramdsm]

Thanks Dave. Once again, great review.

[BERNARDIN_]

Wonderfull review, what a level! Thanks for your valuable professionalism

[kenspaceman]

How loud are these two, the 3T and 30T compared? How far do you have to be as not to disturb people on the ground?

[Madd_Jack]

Couple things i'd like to see come to the next model of mavic and one for the M30.
On the Mavic 3, I'd like to have seen water resistance instead of the 15% price reduction. Or at least a version rated for such weather conditions even if it costs a tad more than the mavic 2.

On the Mavic 3 AND the M30, I would have liked to have seen a swappable camera payload. Especially at the price of the M30 & M30T. Payload modularity has been around for a while even on smaller drones. It actually kind of sucks that they'd release these pro-sumer to professional level drones without this feature. I know these cameras do a lot already, but sometimes you just need something more specialized for different occasions (for example, Autels 50x optical zoom). I just feel like the technology and production of this stuff should have trickled down into this level & price point of drone by now.

Thank you. This was a very informative video and well worth the time.

[explorethewonder]

Nice video and very informative. Thank you for sharing!

[Area-tdvq]

Awesome video! Very informative. Thank you ✌️

[jaybillups]

Thanks for the great information. Is the M3E available to buy yet?

[rcane]

16:30 that's why we're leaning towards procuring M3E for our pipe network projects.

16:58 Is this out-of-the-box of M3E? If I recall correctly from your other video I commented on, it needs to have the RTK attachment + D-RTK 2 base station to achieve that? Or maybe I'm recalling it incorrectly.

27:45 got it

[jhonprice]

draganfly is undoubtedly the best drone company!
It is providing support in ukraine by supplying ukrainian people with medicines, insulin and much more.
with this it is increasing its visibility and brand awareness.
has an experienced team and unique technology, currently very underestimated based on its potential!

[stephencosentino]

Great Video, I've never met anyone with as much knowledge on this topic. In comparison to the Mavic 2 advanced enterprise, is the improved zoom on the Mavic 3 enterprise and the RTK capability the only added benefits? Thanks!

[reconaerialdroneservices]

Steel city thanks for your amazing content, great job! I wanted to point out, and I could be way out to lunch here BUT....why does the M3E series not support the DJI Fly App? For many operators having an M3E that also has the imaging capability of the features found in the M3 (DJI Fly App) would be amazing. As it stands DJI seems to be forcing us to purchase 2 drones instead of one since they do not permit the DJI Fly App to be loaded on the M3E. I've contacted them on this and they have no good answer really so I suspect that it's pretty much greed at play here. Your thoughts?

[michaelcadena]

Would the 3E be suitable for internal silo inspections?

[shotfox_aerial]

Hello - I am researching to see if I can map with the M3T on a perpendicular to main path course as opposed to a parallel main path, autonomously. Thanks so much. Sid Fox

[wakefulonesees]

Great comparison! I have two questions: first is about using a network for RTK on the m3 e, does it work and how hard is it to setup?
Second, I see that you can purchase a m30 with no payload, can a mapping camera be mounted on it?
Thanks again!

[zwiftfrance]

Great as usual.
Unfortunately nothing on the last M3 M (Multispectral).
Hope you will update soon.

[SlackerOH]

Very informative, but at 03:23 regarding the accuracy...You cannot report accuracy using the GCPs only from Pix4D. You must have independent checkpoints that also account for the methodology they were surveyed. i.e. differential leveling vs static vs RTK. The D-RTK2 base station is also not a survey grade receiver and that should be kept in mind when using it in RTK/PPK/GCP-surveying workflows.
