DJI Mavic 3 Detail OverView

According to drones experts, the DJI Mavic 3 has three main features where it can be considered as a breakthrough.

1. Endurance
2. Avoidance
3. Lens

Battery life

The insertion method of the DJI Mavic 3 battery has been changed to a plug-in lock structure. In addition, the more important thing is that the battery capacity has been increased from 3850mAh to 5000mAh! With the double BUFF blessing of structural design improvements and increased battery capacity, the maximum battery life of the DJI Mavic 3 reached 46 minutes.

30 minutes of shooting time

Although the nominal battery life of the DJI Mavic 2 is 31 minutes, I dare not really fly until it is dead. Due to the influence of airflow, the use time of each battery will be around 25 minutes, plus the time required for take-off and return. In fact, the normal shooting time is less than 20 minutes each time, which is basically one or two shots. This time, the nominal 15 minutes of battery life of the DJI Mavic 3 does not seem to be a big improvement, but this 15 minutes directly doubles the shooting time. If you think about flying, you can have 30 minutes of shooting time.

Obstacle avoidance

As far as the DJI Mavic 2 is concerned, maybe I don't have other drones to compare. I am actually not satisfied with its obstacle avoidance. Although DJI Mavic 2 is equipped with omnidirectional sensing, it will alarm and slow down when there are obstacles around, but it always gives me a feeling of inflexibility. I haven't tested its obstacle avoidance ability in very complicated scenes. When using the circle flight, the aircraft was almost blown up due to the delay in avoiding obstacles.

Vision system

The DJI Mavic 2 emphasizes that the fuselage is equipped with an omnidirectional binocular vision system this time. I personally think that DJI is more perfect in binocular vision detection algorithms. Therefore, on the basis of the DJI Mavic 2, binocular cameras are arranged in all directions, making The detection range is larger. Therefore, I think that when the DJI Mavic 3 is flying, it can detect obstacles earlier and make plans in advance so that it will not be too late to "slam the brakes" as the DJI Mavic 2 does.

Shooting

Of course, the shooting function has always been the root of DJI drones, and this time the DJI Mavic 3 is really amazing. DJI Hasselblad has worked together to carry a dual-camera system on a consumer-grade UAV for the first time. The main camera is Hasselblad's L2D-20c, and the secondary camera is a telephoto lens with an equivalent focal length of 162mm. More importantly, this Hasselblad is equipped with a 4/3 CMOS, not to mention the comparison with the DJI Mavic 2 zoom version, it is a qualitative change compared with the 1 inch CMOS of the previous generation DJI Mavic 2 pro.

Camera and Sensor

There is a saying in the photography community that the bottom is the first level to crush people. This "bottom" refers to the camera's influence on the sensor. In the case of the same pixels, the larger the sensor size, the larger the area of ​​a single pixel, and more details can be recorded. Bringing a wider dynamic range, the most direct performance is that in the case of low light and high ISO, the picture is cleaner and less noise.

Video

In terms of video, DJI Mavic 3 also supports professional-level video recording. It supports up to 5.1k 50fps and DCI 4k 120fps video recording. The color depth is also up to 10 bits, which not only can present the sky color gradation more delicately, but also retain more light and dark details, providing a wide space for post-production.

Signal transmission distance

In addition to the above three points, the DJI Mavic 3's image transmission, have greater signal transmission distance optimization, the newly added three-speed transmission function, and creative shooting and other functions that affect the user experience has also been improved. Compared with DJI's previous products, there is always a suspicion of squeezing toothpaste-like Intel, but this time the DJI Mavic 3's improvement is still very big.
