5K Hasselblad Camera. Just like its predecessor, the DJI Mavic 3 has partnered with Hasselblad, this time bringing the L2D-20c camera, a 4/3 CMOS-equipped camera capable of recording 5.1K footage up to 50 fps, or 4K/DCI 4K all the way up to 120 fps. This camera also supports a variable aperture from f/2.8 to f/11, 84° field-of-view, 8-1/8000 s shutter speeds, and a maximum image size of 5280×3956 at 20 megapixels. Combined with the 12.8 stops of dynamic range and Vision Detection Auto Focus (VDAF), the 10-bit D-Log color profile captures 1 billion colors to achieve incredible cinematic footage even at low-light and high frame-rates. If that wasn’t enough, the Hasselblad only makes up half of the camera suite aboard the Mavic 3.

28x Telephoto Camera. Any photographer can tell you planning your shoot is important, and thats exactly what Explore Mode is designed for. Switch over to activate the telephoto camera, a 4K30, 12MP camera with a 1/2-inch CMOS sensor capable of 28x hybrid zoom so you can clearly scout for and film new locations, routes, or subjects without disturbance. Combined, the dual-camera setup on the DJI Mavic 3 allow you to film at high frame rates, incredible resolutions, and great distances, with incredible color reproduction and dynamic range.

Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing. Mavic 3 helps you to enjoy collision-free flight so you can focus on getting the best shots possible. Multiple wide-angle vision sensors work seamlessly with a high-performance vision computing engine to sense obstacles in all directions precisely and plan a safe flight route that avoids them.

46 Minutes of Flight. Under ideal conditions, the Mavic 3 is capable of 46 minutes of flight time, reaching speeds up to 42 mph as far as 9 miles line-of-sight away from the controller. That sounds great, but odds are, you won’t be shooting in ideal conditions. Be sure the keep the drone within eyesight at all times and away from obstacles like buildings for more peace-of-mind, and bring backup batteries with you, just in case. Fortunately, the advanced Return-to-Home (RTH) features on the Mavic 3 will plan the best route back to its starting location and can do so once its battery is too low or it loses signal. Keep in mind, the Mavic, like all drones, performs best in daylight and with minimal weather interference, so plan your shoot accordingly.

Same Great Features But… Better. The gimbal offers multiple options for locking onto and easily tracking subjects like people, vehicles, and landmarks. Trajectory prediction and high-speed tracking features are both beefed up from its predecessor. With APAS 5.0 and advanced return to home, the feature set of the Mavic 3 is sure to satisfy most hobbyists or professionals.
