Mavic 3 Classic

"Ideally, DJI would position this drone under $1,300 to appeal to users who are willing to give up on a tele lens for a more pocket-friendly price."

Count me in if the price comes in that low.

So it's a Mavic 2 Pro.

I'm up for anything as long as they don't undercut my Mavic 3 I just bought last week somehow with price and/or tech. I'm sure that's not the case, though. *fingers crossed*

Probably bundled with the RC Pro for the original $2200 MSRP! That might explain where all the separately sold RC Pro's have gone!

I'm hoping that they eventually sell a standalone version as I have the RC Pro from the Air2S package.

Even bundled with the $109 RC-N1 for $1300, it would still be a bargain for you! You saved $700 on the RC Pro!

This would be my ideal buy, a great drone with a great RC

How much is the tele worth?

I'd be all over that!!

Probably will have a different sensor too. Wouldn’t be the 4/3. Maybe a 1” sensor

Unlikely. That would defeat the Mavic 3 main camera enhancements over the M2P, also available on the Air 2S, which both already have a 1” sensor.

The telephoto isn’t worth 1000 dollars. Costs a few buck2 for DJI. That would really undercut the high cost of the mavic 3. We will just have to wait and see. It could be an improved 1 inch sensor.

If they offered a good 1-inch sensor but with much better processor than the one in the M2P and also the variable aperture which the Air 2S doesn't have, it would be a good incremental improvement over every aircraft under the 3.

Without the 4/3 sensor, it isn't a Mavic 3 of any iteration.

iteration? I need to look that word up! LOL..

I don't care if it is $1300. The telephoto 2nd camera I could justify deleting to save 700-800 dollars. But deleting the 2nd camera AND downgrading to a 1" sensor is too large a difference

 

[Darkabaz]

Maybe they will add some firmware software features to the current Mavic 3 so it gonna be a definitely better drone than the M3 Classic when the Classic got a 4/3 cam also. If they are almost the same, i think its too much a competitor with the current M3.

Which is exactly why DJI would never create such a Mavic 3! The main sensor will remain a 4/3. That's what defines the Mavic 3!

that's logical

I mean, if they dropped the sensor to 1", then it would seem the only substantial difference between the Classic and the Air 2s would be the battery capacity

Question: for video, is there a noticeable improvement in quality between the Mavic 3 and Air 2s. I'm not really talking about technical specs. I'm wondering about video played on 4K-capable screens
