Nope the bodies weigh too much without the batteries.
And we would complain about the flight times.
That's not true. The
Mavic 3 Pro weighs 958g.
The EU compliant
Mavic 3 weighs 895g.
899g is the limit for comparable EU compliance.
The battery only needs to shed 59g.
Mavic 3 battery currently weighs 336g.
Shaving 59g off the 336g battery weight is only a 18% change in weight to make it EU compliant at 899g.
The extra 63g of weight of the
Mavic 3 Pro over the
Mavic 3 only reduced the flight time by 3 minutes from 46 minutes to 43 minutes, using the same battery.
Assuming generously that the current 43 minute flight time would be reduced by some 25% by a 17% reduction in battery weight (the battery shell weight remains constant, so the reduction has to be in the battery mAh inside) to 32 minutes, it would also gain
back the 3 minutes of lost flight time compared to the
Mavic 3, as they now weigh the same (within 4g).
That's 32 minutes + 3 minutes = 35 minute flight time for an EU compliant battery.
The 8 minute reduction in the 43 minute flight time to 35 minutes would
not lead to complaints about flight time,
if it gained EU compliance.
Those who care that much about the 8 minute loss in flight time either already are certified, or will get certified in the EU to fly the current 958g
Mavic 3 Pro.
DJI has already has a history of making different batteries in the exact same form factor to comply with different international requirements for exemptions.
1. DJI made a reduced power
Mini 2 battery for China that shaved 49g off the 249g
Mini 2 weight to comply with China's lower 200g exempt drone limit.
2. DJI made a noncompliant Plus battery for the
Mini 3 Pro that increased flight time from 34 to 47 minutes by adding 41g more weight in the battery, making the total weight 290g. The standard battery has a capacity of 2453 mAh whereas the extended battery has a capacity of 3850 mAh. The Plus battery weighs 121g which is 41g more than the standard battery of 80g.
Consider the current stock
Mavic 3 battery that is sold with the
Mavic 3 Pro as a
Plus battery.
DJI can clearly easily make a
Standard battery for the
Mavic 3 Pro for the EU weighing only 18% less without significantly sacrificing flight time.
=====
The only issue is whether DJI would sell enough
more Mavic 3 Pro units to the EU with a compliant lower weight battery to justify making the lower capacity battery.
Jury is still out on that one.
