DJI unveils the groundbreaking DJI Mavic 3 Pro, a camera drone equipped with a triple camera system, featuring different focal lengths and setting a new standard in aerial content capture. The Mavic 3 Pro boasts the acclaimed Hasselblad camera, two tele cameras, a maximum flight time of 43 minutes, DJI's signature Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing, and 10-mile HD Video Transmission.
The Mavic 3 Pro's advanced triple-camera system allows users to express their creative vision across diverse scenarios with focal lengths of 24mm, 70mm, and 166mm. The drone sets a new standard for professional content creation with its Hasselblad camera, capturing 12-bit RAW photos with a native dynamic range of up to 12.8 stops and utilizing the Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) for accurate color restoration.
For professionals seeking to maximize image quality, the Mavic 3 Pro Cine offers an array of options, including support for Apple ProRes encoding and a built-in 1TB SSD. The drone's powerful subject framing capabilities, enhanced flight experience, and DJI's signature intelligent features make it an ideal tool for creating breathtaking content.
While both the Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Pro share key features such as a 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad sensor for 20MP imaging, ability to shoot 5.1K/50fps video and 4K/120fps slow-motion, and 12.8 stops of native dynamic range, there are some significant differences between the two models.
The Mavic 3 Pro comes with a triple camera system, including a Hasselblad sensor and two tele cameras with focal lengths of 70mm and 166mm. In contrast, the Mavic 3 has a dual-camera system, featuring the Hasselblad sensor and a single tele camera with a 162mm focal length. The Mavic 3 Pro's tele cameras offer 3x and 7x optical zoom, while the Mavic 3's single tele camera provides up to 28x hybrid zoom.
Another key difference between the two models is the video encoding format. The Mavic 3 Pro Cine and Mavic 3 Cine support Apple ProRes, an industry standard for high-quality video, while the Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Classic utilize H.264 and H.265 encoders.
As for storage capacity, the Mavic 3 Pro Cine and Mavic 3 Cine come with an internal 1TB SSD, while the Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 3 Pro Cine share many features with the Mavic 3 Classic, there are some noteworthy differences. The Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 3 Pro Cine come with a dual telephoto camera system, offering a medium telephoto camera with 70mm, 3x optical zoom, f/2.8, 48MP, and 4K/60fps, and a telephoto camera with 166mm, 7x optical zoom, 28x hybrid zoom, f/3.4, 12MP, and 4K/60fps. In comparison, the Mavic 3 Classic only has a single Hasselblad sensor with a 3x zoom.
Another significant difference is the inclusion of Apple ProRes encoding in the Mavic 3 Pro Cine and Mavic 3 Cine models. This industry-standard encoding offers higher video quality and is supported across all three cameras on the Mavic 3 Pro Cine. However, the Mavic 3 Cine only supports Apple ProRes for content captured with the Hasselblad camera. Both the Mavic 3 Pro Cine and Mavic 3 Cine have a built-in 1TB SSD to store large Apple ProRes files, whereas the Mavic 3 Pro, Mavic 3, and Mavic 3 Classic have 8GB of onboard storage and rely on microSD cards for additional capacity.
When it comes to design, the Mavic 3 Series drones are lightweight and foldable, making them easy to transport. The Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 3 Pro Cine are slightly larger than the Mavic 3 Classic, Mavic 3, and Mavic 3 Cine, but the difference in size is minimal. The Mavic 3 Classic and Mavic 3 weigh 895g, the Mavic 3 Cine weighs 899g, the Mavic 3 Pro weighs 958g, and the Mavic 3 Pro Cine weighs 963g.
Deciding which drone to choose depends on your specific needs and budget. If you are mainly focusing on video and do not require the telephoto camera, the Mavic 3 Classic may be a more budget-friendly option. However, if you require the versatility of the dual telephoto camera system and can afford the Mavic 3 Pro, it offers a wider range of capabilities that you may find invaluable for capturing stunning aerial content.
In conclusion, the DJI Mavic 3 Pro offers a groundbreaking triple-camera system that sets a new standard in aerial content creation. Its advanced features and capabilities, such as the Hasselblad camera, dual telephoto cameras, and extended flight time, make it an ideal tool for professionals seeking to create breathtaking aerial content.
