DJI Mavic 3 Pro Review – King of Drones with Even More Cameras



DJI Mavic 3 Pro has just released April 25, 2023, with even more cameras. The whole Mavic 3 line is the best drone out right now, unreal quality. So long as it has the 5.1K 4/3β€³ Hasselblad I am happy with it. Telephoto lens has been improved and the newer medium one has a 3/4β€³ sensor 4K 60fps.

Yes it uses the same batteries
Yes it is heavier (958g vs. 895g)
Long Zoom lens is improved and brighter aperture
No it isn’t using a worse main camera
Yes uses the same props, same body, same everything except the ND Filters

New features:
A 3x telephoto lens obviously
A bit better connection behind buildings/trees
43 minute flight time (-3 minutes less)
3/4β€³ f2.8 4K sensor on 3x telephoto lens
7x telephoto f3.4 instead of f4.4
Dlog-M has been added as halfway between DLog and Normal

1tb internal hard drive, Apple Prores, All cameras Prores, DJI RC Pro – ONLY ON CINE version

8gb internal hard drive incase you forget your crap
5.1k H.265 footage, internal hard drive (except for small 8gb)
Hasselblad 4/3β€³ sensor f2.8
4K 60fps
10-bit Dlog, HLG, Dlog-M
20mp 12-bit RAW format photos
Night Mode video
Omni Directional Obstacle Avoidance
Hyperlapse (now with preview)
Active Track
43 minute flight time
Same length but girthy head (958g)

Important stuff stays the same – firmware/sensor exposure balancing, beautiful m4/3 Hasselblad 5.1k Sensor, just the best you can find out there right now. Everything you like is still here, some new fun features like a telephoto lens

5.1k Camera – 24mm lens equivalent
3x telephoto – 77mm lens equivalent
7x telephoto – 166mm lens equivalent

Great ISO on this drone, still usable up to ISO 800 without really noticing thanks to a larger sensor and better firmware.

This is for the person who has been waiting for the Mavic 3 but procrastinates, here is your reward. A Mavic 3 Definitive Edition with all the kinks out the way and some neat bonuses.

$2199 USD Drone + RC
$2999 USD Drone + RC Combo
$3889 USD Drone + RC Pro combo
$4799 USD CINE Drone + RC Pro combo

Just get a second battery and ND filters and you’ll be fine. REALLY suggest the DJI RC smart remote too, wildly helpful to the experience. Makes it way more fun, either smart remote is great just get one.

  1. I can tell as long as he has the Mavic 3 Pro, he won't bother with an Inspire 3. Honestly i'm also tempted to buy this drone, it's surprisingly not as expensive as I expected it to be, I was expecting near 6 – 8k USD

  2. Could a firmware update bring D-LOG to the 2 tele cameras? That's holding me back atm.

    Biggest drawback I see is not shooting in same picture profile when you want the most dynamic range. Cine version supposed to be aimed at pros… pros dont shoot in different PP's depending on focal length lol.

    Especially if you're just shooting for a client, handing off to an editor. Dumping your footage in different PPs is not a great look (pun intended).

  3. Awesome and Pro video ! 2 questions: – Does the main d-logM – mode work at ISO 100 ? ( D-log started at ISO 400 in Mavic 3 )
    – How much the gimbal upward tilting abilility has changed ? ( since the head is way bigger ) Thanks !

  4. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Strait raw information, exactly what's really interesting, professional attitude, and a good sense of humor too. Thanks.

  5. One of the other YouTube drone-related content creators mentioned that DJI will be moving toward phasing out (sooner rather than later) the previous Mavic-Line of drones so, unless a prospective buyer is willing to buy a used drone, after they sell off their existing new Mavic drones, if you want to buy a new Mavic, you'll basically have no choice than to buy one of these Mavic Pro drones.

    I really wish that one of the other drone manufacturers would step up to the plate with a drone offering that even came close to the DJI's drone offerings. It would go a long way toward some price competition resulting on slightly lower prices.

    One of the things I've wondered about this latest DJI drone has been, does it have the ability to operate within a "Buddy-Box" system of operation? What I mean is, can it be operated with two different controllers at the same time so that one controller can be used strictly for flying the drone while the second controller can be used to control the video or photographic aspects of a shoot/mission?

  6. There is no Mavic 3 anymore. Discontinued- for obvious reasons – its kind of redundant, yet unnecessary with the pricing of the Pro. Just hope I can get a good price for a full Fly More kit with other older, stupidly heavy bag.

  7. You always talk about the two batteries being enough @QuickAssTutorials . I am doing a Roadtrip in a Van for the Van Company soon and I have two Mavic 3 Classic batteries now. Are you sure that those are going to be enough? I might need to do a few short hikes and I have no idea if the car battery can take it if we are charging 2 mavic 3 classic batteries at night and 4 air2s batteries. (+all the Sony Camera batteries) Some insight would be great!

  8. Your reviews are fantastic, all the meat and potatoes without the fluff.
    Personally I only need a true full frame sensor for those early dawn, twilight, and night shots. I am not interested in any telephoto lenses, if I want to get a zoomed image/closer image I can just fly the drone closer to what I am trying to capture and get a higher quality image from the significantly higher quality full frame sensor.
    What do you think about using the less expensive controller with a ipad for exceptional image quality and having the screen Infront of the controller where it is more intuitive vs between your wrists where your wrists may obscure part of the screen?

  9. Love your videos—concise, professional, logical, and well-considered. Question: Do you know if the M3P has the Dual-controller capability that the M2P has? I've not seen many videos of people utilizing that M2P capability, but I do and just LOVE the results. Takes a lot of practice with a partner, but once you're in synch on it, it's so useful. Along those same lines, does M3P also have the touchscreen/gimbal control the M2P has? Thanks again!

  10. You will never see full frame on a Mavic body. At a push they may be able to go up to aps-c but at this point its diminishing returns and extra focal lengths are more useful for most photographers and cinematographers than a slightly larger sensor. But you knew this when you said it and it got me to comment so you sir are a genius πŸ˜‚ great vid
