DJI MAVIC 3 PROFESSIONAL CAMERA DRONE FEATURES

Editor's Note

The Mavic 3 drone by DJI is the very latest drone produced by DJI. Like its predecessors (Mavic and Mavic II), the Mavic 3 strikes an excellent balance between ensuring the drone has the very latest, cutting-edge drone technologies while remaining perfectly suitable for anyone who is looking to purchase their first drone and/or get into aerial/drone photography. Individuals looking to buy the Mavic 3 should only do so if they are also interested in getting into aerial/drone photography. The reason for this is the price you pay for the DJI Mavic 3 drone is mostly for the aerial photography and videography systems and the advanced, intelligent flight systems that seek to stabilize and smoothen the drone for the purpose of taking clean aerial photos and systems. If you are not interested in getting into aerial photography or videography, you are paying big dollars for systems you don't need. In this case, you would be better buying a drone in the "under $500" category.

The DJI Mavic 3 Drone comes with a 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad camera. For those who are curious, Hasselblad is a Swedish company based in Gothenburg, Sweden, that specializes in the manufacturing of medium format cameras, photographic equipment and image scanners. The Four Thirds System is a standard that was created by Olympus and Eastman Kodak for digital single-lends reflect cameras (DSLR) and mirrorless camera designs and development. The size of the sensor is significantly smaller than for most DSLRs, making this standard ideal for drone cameras, which must be built-in the very compact space of the drone's nose/head. The Mavic 3 has an advanced 5.1K Ultra-high Definition (UHD) camera that can record 4K videos at 120 fps (frames-per-second). The camera has a 20MP resolution and uses a four-thirds-forma Hasselblad camera. You'll also get a second telephoto lens with a 28x zoom. The Mavic 3 has an adjustable aperture to accommodate a wide range of lighting conditions. Its cameras are capable of capturing HDR video.This quadcopter is the perfect drone for aerial photography and videography. It is available in several configurations to meet your needs. It is a perfect drone for both professionals and newbies.

Other features include obstacle sensing, Advanced RTH, and automatic return to home (RTH). Its features and specifications are listed below. The Mavic 3 Drone comes with a powerful positioning algorithm that improves hovering accuracy by utilizing signals from multiple satellites. This improved positioning system makes it easier to lock onto multiple satellites and stabilize the drone in the air. This improved stability makes it ideal for long exposures and timelapses. It is also compatible with other DJI flying systems and controllers. You'll find that the Mavic 3 is the perfect drone for your photography needs.
