You switch cameras, from main to zoom, via the binoculars icon to the right of the main viewer.ĭJI’s solution seems a blunt acknowledgement of the fact both cameras have very different levels of technical prowess in flight the main camera is the one you see and shoot through by default, you need to tap on a pair of yellow binoculars to enter ‘Explorer Mode’ to invoke zoom. That matters for technical reasons (‘How smoothly can I zoom if the system needs to switch cameras?’) but also because the camera and live view is also a key part in the way most people fly, so changing cameras and zoom lengths poses potential risks. That means that before diving into quality and specs, I’ll answer what should be everyone’s first question: “How do you use them?” It would make headlines for having a dual camera system or for topping its predecessor with a 4/3rds image sensor, but DJI have managed both. More than ever, the Mavic 3’s camera mechanism is what sets it apart. The $4,999 asking price seems quite palatable in this context. Since this is already established by the Inspire series, it is tolerable, and this time the ProRes-capable “Cine” edition also includes 1TB of internal storage and a 10Gbps transfer, and ships with the pro controller with a built-in screen. Instead, the price differential is for the ProRes capture, storage and transfer capabilities. The Mavic 3 ditches the two-mechanism strategy when it comes to the camera, which was never popular. Even then, a more expensive Inspire 2 was needed with slots for SSD storage cards and the ProRes licence, beyond $7,000.

The Mavic 2 Zoom had a somewhat stingy 12 -egapixel sensor but the only optical zoom DJI offered under $6,000 (an Inspire 2, an X5S camera and a Lumix 14-42mm pancake zoom).įor filmmakers needing the flexibility of ProRes 422 it was also necessary to look up the range to the Inspire 2 an enormous drone compared to the Mavic series this too was clearly weighing on the firm’s strategy since demand for the editor-friendly (albeit enormous) files is on the rise and the Inspire is simply impractical in many situations.
The only real advantage retained by the Mavic 2 Pro was an adjustable aperture, not really enough to hold onto flagship status but very desirable for serious users. Given the many other incremental improvements which had come along the controller range, the collision sensor and obstacle avoidance and so on, it was difficult to understand why someone would put their hand in their pocket for the Mavic 2 Pro. Arriving in April 2021, it handed that Mavic 2 Pro’s most noted feature, a 1-inch sensor, to what was – at least in theory – the Mavic range’s middleweight model. The Mavic 2 – both Zoom and Pro models – have started to look a bit behind the times, not least because of company’s own Air 2S. This climbs to $4,999 / £4,279 for the Cine version which boasts 1TB SSD storage and ProRes 422 HQ capability. Announced November 5 th 2021, it has a starting price of $2,199 / £1,879. It is the first to feature a dual camera system with Hasselblad four-thirds sensor camera and a 28x hybrid zoom camera on the same gimbal. The DJI Mavic 3, is the company’s flagship folding camera drone.
