About this deal
Optical Comparison: 1x v 7x stills from Richmond Park flying field, which is around 14km from The Shard on the right (Image credit: Adam Juniper/Digital Camera World) The DJI Mavic 3T is built with public safety, search and rescue, inspection and thermal mapping in mind. Below are the updates that have been released since the introduction of the Mavic 3. Firmware Version 01.00.0400 (Dec 2021) The Cine model has 1TB of internal memory, and I don’t see this as a big plus as you have to use the internal memory if you want to record ProRes HQ. The MicroSD option isn’t fast enough. So, if we take the original Mavic 3s out of the mix, it means that the Mavic 3 Pro and the Mavic 3 Classic are arguably best-suited to tech-savvy amateur or semi-pro content creators who want to benefit from the latest tech and raise the bar of their aerial photography or filmmaking.
And with the Mavic 3 Classic having the lowest price point, this feels the best budget option - if users are willing to sacrifice the Tele camera.When the remote controller (RC-N1) is used, press the Fn button and then toggle the gimbal dial to zoom in or out.
Another key difference between all of the drones is that the Mavic 3 Cine and Mavic 3 Pro Cine use Apple ProRes - the industry standard for high-quality video and one of the best practical HD formats available for cinematography. The table below provides some key specs of each controller, including the differences between the DJI RC Pro and DJI RC smart controllers. For a more in-depth comparison, read the DJI RC Pro vs DJI RC vs DJI RC-N1 blog. The remote controller uses omnidirectional antennas (One antenna is built-in on the top of the phone holder.). Please point the antennas at the aircraft during use. The DJI Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine are sure game changers to the world of portable, professional videography drones. Boasting an incredible dual-camera system with a 12 MP telephoto camera on top of the cinema-quality 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad camera on a drone weighing less than 900 grams, the Mavic 3 will go anywhere you do- and then some. Use the DJI 10Gbps Lightspeed Data Cable in the box to connect the aircraft to your computer via the USB-C port. Make sure the write speed of your storage device is greater than 700MB/s.The Mavic 3 is an exciting drone from DJI. The new Hasselblad camera is one feature that stands out as it has a Micro Four Thirds sensor that will help with lowlight performance and overall image quality. DJI sent me the Mavic 3, not the Cine version, for review. For the most part, they are very similar, but the Cine model has more internal storage and records ProRes HQ. Why no other ProRes options? Good question. I think for most users, the Mavic 3, not “cine,” will be a better option as H.265 is pretty darn good. Firmware Updates To complement this, the Cine has an internal 1TB SSD to cater for these larger Apple ProRes files. A microSD card can also be inserted for additional capacity.
