What are your expectations for Mavic 3

[MavicFT1P]

Assuming DJi is continuing with the Mavic Family of Drones.

What improvements, Things would you like to see in the Next iteration?

 

[Thomas B]

A force field surrounding it, water resistance, and full availability of replacement parts from DJI to the consumer.

 

[dv8ed]

A) 4K 60
B) 1:1 pixel mapping if possible even if it means body has to be a little bigger or camera whatever to cool sensor down - no sub sampling of video want video quality to be like Phantom 4 equal if not better

 

[Hauptmann]

I'll wait. Still enjoying my M2P.

I think the 4K 60p is mandatory it’s really disappointing that it isn’t available with the M2.

I like the waterproofing idea and shouldn’t be that big of a deal to do.

I would also really like to be able to apply my own 3D LUT to the live view. Litchi has a built in LUT for live view for D-Log but I don’t really like their LUT I want to pick my own.

This is a long shot but being able to see the live view feed from the optical sensors. Would be nice to be able to check real quick what’s around me.

Global shutter like the Phantom 4 vs. the current rolling shutter on the Mavic 1 and 2.

1. Detachable, bayonet style gimbal mount with at least 3 lenses ala Inspire
2. 30 minute flight time
3. USB C ports on both the drone AND the controller

Some of the following seem like they'll be a cert, the latter ones maybe not so much but a pilot can dream:

• 4k60p
• Global shutter
• Improvements to DR & low-light performance
• Longer flight time
• USB-C on RC
• Improved collision avoidance
• Improved subject tracking/follow-me modes
• Stable hover mode for longer exposures and timelapses
• Filter thread, or at least an easier to swap clip setup
• User changeable lenses, especially for the M2P replacement (maybe a bit much to expect a zoom on a 1" sensor)
• M2E style expansion port on all models, and open up the interface specs for third party addons
• Hardpoints on the legs for mounting things like strobes or enhanced landing gear (hand-catch without the risk of drawing blood or water landings anyone?)

On the software side, more flight modes including finer control over waypoint based missions and pre-programmed video modes.

I think i just did as many "likes" as I have done all day.

I think a rear/under or over camera is an excellent idea. The optical sensors are just cams arent they?

Now this one is a long shot, but imagine if you could see your Mavic 3rd person (think rear camera on a MotoGp bike)

But as for Must haves:
- 4K/60
- 35-40 mins flight time I think is reasonable
- USB-C 3.1 goes without saying

Yea they are, the inspire already has this capability. The top sensor is an IR sensor though can’t look up the sun would fry an optical sensor.

You forgot the invisibility cloak!

 

[Thomas B]

You forgot the invisibility cloak!

I forgot the completely silent props too

 

[RadioFlyerMan]

Built in strobes that run off the flight battery.

A huge back pack large enough to carry a fully expanded drone and an assembled controller with 7 dbi antenna and a mounted iPad with a massive sun shade! [emoji15]

 

[Former Member]

Oh, I forgot, a $1999 price tag.

 

[razoraerial]

Wings and propulsion changed by button on controller for either out and winged mode or drone mode. If nothing else would be cool extra outputs on it and buttons use them

 

[Horsefly]

Ability to swap cameras. Integration ability with cameras like these: M2-D Stabilized EO-IR FLIR UAV Drone unmanned thermal Camera Gimbal - SPI Corp

Add on ability to work "in the system" with some type of squawk code and ability to locate other aircraft on the monitor along with altitude. Sort of like a software defined ATC in your palm.

 

[KimAllen]

Still really new to the game, and MUCH of these seem like great ideas, but water-proofing and live view feed from the optical sensors would probably send me scrambling for my credit card!

 

[thatswedishguy]

As a Mavic 2 Pro owner for 4 days the things I would have wanted is 4K60 and USB-C on the controller. It's really too bad it doesn't have 4K60 but I wanted the portability over the Phantom 4 Pro

 

[RadioFlyerMan]

A drone that is integrated, accepted and necessary to society as much as autos and iPhones.

Dude I’ve been trying to think of a way to put wings on the Mavic! That’s a good one add it to my wish list.

This has been a great thread thanks @MavicFT1P. I hope DJI is watching. Great free market research
