Dear mates. I have noticed that some Mavic 3 users have weighed their units with precision scales and are finding that the official product weight specifications are not correct in practice. The weight seems to be above 900 grams, especially the cine version.
A few days ago, the famous leaker OsitaLV posted on his Twitter account:
“…To comply with the new drone law in Europe, DI will release a new kind of propellers for Mavic 3 European version. the EU version propeller is smaller than the original one. Flight time and maneuverability will be reduced. Looks like Europe is not friendly to drones…”
In this post I attach the measurements made by the Paladrone YouTube channel. The official specifications for the Mavic 3 Cine indicate a weight of 899 grams on the official DJI website.
Let us remember that DJI does not sell the wide-angle lens accessory in Europe so as not to exceed 899 grams, promising to Mavic 3 users the retro certification as class C1 UAS.
If this scale is moderately correct I think we are going to have a problem with the C1 class marking in Europe for Mavic 3 Cine users.
Other problems may come in the future, when the drone needs a high-visibility flashing light for night flight or a parachute for flight in certain flight scenarios, because DJI establishes the weight of the aircraft but does not specify the MTOM, and the aeronautical legislation that applies Europe to drones is the same as that of manned aircraft, for this reason in the future it will not be possible to install legally any device on the aircraft that makes it exceed the MTOM. Some European countries like Spain or Italy consider a small drone as a manned aircraft and want to apply the same legislation and fines to small drones and they are spreading this idea to European legislators with false comparison fallacies and sophistical syllogisms.
At the rulemakers' desks, any argument from air lobbyists that restricts the freedoms of drone users may seem correct, consistent, and convincing to the legislator, but the end result always results in an incorrect and inconsistent law. They are word jugglers.
**** lobbyists!
Personally I think that DJI should fight in Europe against air lobbyists to find a healthier and more coherent legislation.
European air lobbyists are making things difficult for drone users and manufacturers.
Please, If you have a scale you can weigh your unit, please, indicate too if it is the normal or Cine version.
