DJI MAVIC 3 OFFICIAL |TRAILER
The newly released foldable drone DJI Mavic 3 features an 899g take-off weight with up to 46 minutes of flight time. The new camera module includes two cameras – the main unit has a 20MP 4/3″ sensor with a 24mm lens and can take still images in 12-bit DNG raw format or videos in 5.1K at up to 50fps, or 4K at up to 120fps. The second camera has a 162mm telephoto lens and can take 12MP JPEG photos or record video in 4K UHD 30fps. The Cine version of the Mavic 3 records a ProRes 422 HQ video on a 1TB built-in SSD on top of the H.264 and H.265 modes. The drones include a handful of smart featuree
Perhaps the most impressive part of the new DJI Mavic 3 is the new camera module. Sporting the distinctive look with the skewed lens cover and the Hasselblad logo in the corner, the 3-axis stabilized camera module now includes not one, but two cameras .The main camera (which DJI calls L2D-20c) incorporates a larger 20MP (5280×3956) 4/3″ CMOS sensor. It can take still images in 12-bit DNG raw format and videos in 5.1K at up to 50fps, or 4K at up to 120fps. According to DJI, the main camera has a native dynamic range of 12.8 stops. The lens used for this sensor has a 24mm focal length (full-frame equivalent) with 84° FOV. That is 7° wider FOV than that of the Mavic 2 Pro camera. An adjustable aperture of f/2.8-f/11 is available to adapt to changing lighting conditions. The new Vision Detection Auto Focus technology for quick focusing allows the Hasselblad camera to work with multiple vision sensors on board to capture distance data to optimize focusing speed.
Video capabilities
In regards to color science, the Mavic 3 includes Hasselblad Natural Color Solution (HNCS). Thanks to the 10-bit D-Log color profile, the drone offers advanced flexibility in post-production.
As I wrote above, on top of the compressed H.264 (maximum bitrate 200Mbps) and H.265 (maximum bitrate 140Mbps) modes, the Mavic 3 Cine can record videos with Apple ProRes 422 HQ encoding for a whopping maximum data rate of 3,772 Mbps (achievable at 4K/120fps). Video recording modes from the main camera are available in the following resolutions:
5.1K: 5120×2700 @24/25/30/48/50pDCI 4K: 4096×2160 @24/25/30/48/50/60/120fps4K: 3840×2160 @24/25/30/48/50/60/120fpsFHD: 1920×1080 @24/25/30/48/50/60/120/200fps (not available in ProRes)
To handle the large amounts of data from the ProRes codec and high frame rate videos, Mavic 3 Cine comes with a built-in 1TB SSD. For faster offload, the new DJI 10Gbps Lightspeed Data Cable comes with the drone in the Cine bundle.
Intelligent modes
The drone also offers some new intelligent modes which will all be available in January 2022 through firmware updates:
MasterShots can help create content more easily and quickly. After automatic editing and dubbing in the app, videos can be created and directly shared online.Panorama Mode in Mavic 3 allows pictures to be directly stitched and processed by the drone, without the DJI Fly App or any post-production.QuickTransfer lets users store and process materials on their mobile devices without linking with the remote controller. Mavic 3 can now transmit materials from the drone to the mobile device more quickly through the Wi-Fi 6 protocol.
Safety and tracking
When it comes to safety features, the Mavic 3 includes improved obstacle sensing and navigation systems. APAS 5.0 combines inputs from six fish-eye vision sensors and two wide-angle sensors to avoid obstacles in all directions and plan safe flight even in complicated environments. The omnidirectional obstacle sensing system also enables more intuitive subject tracking with the upgraded ActiveTrack 5.0 (which will be available with a future firmware update). It will allow Mavic 3 to move with the subject as it moves forward, backward, left, right, and diagonally, and fly alongside as well as around a moving subject. In addition, if the subject moves too fast and temporarily goes out of frame, the visual sensors on the aircraft will continue to track and frame the subject intelligently and pick it back up when it reappears.
More airtime, improved RTH, more range with O3+
Thanks to the new motors and propellers with higher energy efficiency, a higher-capacity battery (5,000 mAh / 77Wh), and reduced weight of the drone’s structure and components, DJI Mavic 3 offers an impressive flight time of up to 46 minutes. Additionally, DJI streamlined the shape of Mavic 3’s arms, body, and gimbal so it produces 35% less drag than previous generations, allowing faster top speeds. In Sport mode, the maximum ascent speed is 8m/s, maximum descent speed is 6m/s, the maximum flight speed is 21m/s. For reference, the Mavic 2 Pro had these speeds 5m/s, 3m/s, and 20m/s respectively.
