    Looks like the Mavic 3 Classic is coming, Air2S killer?

    Fascinating, an M3 with no explore camera for $500 less. Gotta laugh at that one. This suggests DJI is paying $500 per machine to add that wee camera sensor. In reality I suspect it costs DJI about the same amount to mass produce both the classic or original M3 due to the idea DJI probably pays...

    Mavic 3 my honest conclusion

    My 2 cents is that explore camera is pointless, and this was not my post, it’s a reply. Instead of writing a rant why not tell us your opinion of why DJI would configure this drone in this way instead of just give us optical zoom on the main camera? I was asked to explain my thoughts regarding...

    3 AC NJ Night Flight

    Hi Gord, looks like the M3 handles low light reasonably well eh.

    Mavic 3 my honest conclusion

    It’s a marketing tactic DJI is well know for. Put it this way, had they given the M3 4x optical zoom with the 4/3 camera how will they get you to buy the M4? It’s all about getting you to buy the next one when the technology is already peaking. The only thing they can add to this foldable drone...

    Mavic 3 my honest conclusion

    Didn’t say explore mode, said explore camera which is what DJI calls it. Don’t want video of a moose from 500 feet in the air. Yes, I could have went much higher giving me better range I’m not new to flying drones. I went as low as I could and as close as I could while trying to get decent video...

    Mavic 3 Range test - 30,000 ft - REPORTED TO FAA

    I find distance tests pointless, not much to really film when your that high.

    Mavic 3 my honest conclusion

    Yes I understand that, but have no use for the product coming from the explore camera. In other words, didn’t spend $2500 on a drone just to use its Spark $39 camera sensor. I used that explore camera the other day to film a Bull Moose swimming that was out of range of the main camera. The video...

    Mavic 3 my honest conclusion

    I must agree, the camera and lens on the M3 are fine. Just as clean as the x5s under basic conditions. I specifically bought the M3 only to get that 4/3 sensor. I deeply wish they had spent the money on that explore camera on something else? Like… one camera with a little optical zoom?

    Mavic 3 & DJI Fly - massive new features to be released in Q2 2022

    This drone was advertised as shooting 200 fps in 1080, considering returning the drone to DJI since this is appearing not to be the case anytime soon.

    My first film entirely shot on M3

    I see I was right, you tamed the M3 and made it work for you. I’m still waiting for my 200 fps in 1080. A shot of those birds in slower motion might have been even better. Flew my 3 for the first time in 4 months the other day. Good job Chris cheers.

    200 FPS in 1080

    6 months after the release of this product and we still don’t have a major advertised feature.

    200 FPS in 1080

    Any word on when 200 fps will be here?

    Zoom camera vs 4/3ds video crop.

    Both are pretty bad.
