DJI Mavic 3 Classic - WORTH IT?

[@Joey.Alford]

I ended up trading my fpv gear for a mavic 3 (non classic) and this drone is awesome. Coming from the OG mavic pro to the 3 was such an awesome step up!

Nicely done video! I order the Mavic 3 Classic a couple of days ago; arriving sometime today... upgrading from my old Phantom 4 which I didn't use as much as I had hoped, mostly just because it was a pain to take out.

[@rayflanagan9970]

My old dji phantom 4 just bit the dust. Ordered this Mavic 3 classic just now. Can't wait to fly it.

[@BTSflyer]

I agree about the dynamic range of the Mavic 3 Classic. It it very noticeable when editing footage compared to my Mavic Air 2. Also since a can stop down the aperture I can get the best sharpness.

Bruh... Fantastic video review. Great quality, excellent delivery. That audio is crissssssp. You've sold me on this drone. I'm still flying with the original Mavic Air and I hate it. Lol! Been out of the game for a couple years but I'm jumping into real estate videography so I need the upgrade. Thanks for this awesome and informative material!

[@Druezy]

Really excellent video. I recently got a Mini 3 Pro and have been loving it as my first drone. After messing with color grading I can see the ''Mavic 4 Classic'' in my future for sure.

Great video! One question: Is there no VLOS rule in the US? Can you fly the drown outside of Visual Line Of Sight? You mention around 7:30 you were flying far away from your starting point.

[@AceFootage]

Only allowed with a BVLOS waiver filed and approved by the FAA

[@shLSS]

@@AceFootage Thx! What does it take to get such a waiver?

[@AceFootage]

You would have to file the waiver stating your intentions to go beyond VLOS and how you will keep the mission safe. This waiver is almost never granted. If you are a recreational remote pilot in the US, it will not be granted. If you are a part 107 certified remote pilot, you can file the waiver and try to justify it, but I’ve never seen or heard of this getting approved. You are required to see your drone without the help of technology (minus corrective lenses). You cannot use a Visual Observer stationed far away either, because they have to be co-located with the remote pilot in command. Basically, if you see things like “range tests” or content that is obviously BVLOS, it is probably just illegal in the USA. Unless they have a waiver. But things incredibly unlikely because they FAA does not want the increased risk to manned aircraft operations. Hope that helps!

[@shLSS]

@@AceFootage Thank you so much for your detailed explanation! I understand it's the same as in here in Germany...

[@EmilioExploring]

Seems cool. A little confused to why they are releasing so many drones but the more the better.

[@SamEmilio2]

Finally, this is the review I'd been waiting on as an M2P owner. It'd been really hard to find reviews since the first M3 versions came out that touched on more than just the spec sheets. In my mind the difference in the side by side examples was pretty huge. Aside from the big dynamic range increase, the way the shadows are rendered looks much more accurate and the highlights just look so much better. I'm curious about what you've noticed with rolling shutter? From what you show with the Rivian it doesn't look bad at all, but obviously the rolling shutter on the M2P is awful!

[@matthewkuc3526]

Wow great review!!

[@day1tech]

Great info looking forward to getting mine

[@GlassfilmWeddings]

i dunno bout the 3 cause i really like the tighter crop of the mavic 2 pro. It has 2 lenses pretty much. Does the mavic 3 classic still have this ability ?

[@sidebysidegear9138]

Whoaa!!! The features and benefits are spectacular!!!

[@SM_zzz]

I wish people would stop saying DGI

[@shLSS]

Honest question: how is it pronounced correctly?

[@SM_zzz]

@@shLSS "dee JAY eye" not "dee jee eye". The letter G is pronounced "jee". The letter J is pronounced "jay".

Great Video, I love my classic 3.

[@jarrodbarker]

Do you think a nice S-log3 LUT could be applied to the D-log on this drone footage?

[@mattgonzalez]

It can be, but it wouldn't be the best fit. You would have to make a lot of adjustments

[@georgekelly1948]

Great overview. I like my Mini 2 and Mini 3 Pro. I would like to add the Mavic 3 Classic but am concerned about its noise level. With the minis when I fly in city and county parks, people rarely give me a look. Will the Mavic 3 Classic draw too much attention? Thanks for the presentation.

[@mattgonzalez]

It's certainly louder than the Mini. But I don't think it's so loud that you can't fly it with people around. I've found people who get annoyed by drone will always be annoyed whether it's quiet or loud haha

[@georgekelly1948]

@@mattgonzalez Thanks for the response, Matt.

[@BTSflyer]

@@mattgonzalez Doesn't seem to be louder than my Mavic Air 2.

[@thewhitedillard]

what about an SDK for this? don't think they ever released the SDK for the first DJI Mavic 3 did they?

[@maximusolybrius4612]

DJI aren't planning on doing that for this drone or the original Mavic 3. The only option within the Mavic 3 lineup that will offer this is the Mavic 3 Enterprise

[@Blackzeus-thunder]

I’m in the process of getting my part 107 license I’ve been stuck on which drone I wanna use and I’ve been real stuck on the Mavic 3 classic I’ve checked out the other dji drones but I’ve just been stuck on the Mavic 3

[@starluxstudio619]

Sounds like you want the Classic.

[@maximusolybrius4612]

The Classic is fantastic. I love it. If you don't plan on using the telephoto lens (I didn't really care for it) you'll save about $800

[@JohnIn2SonAZ]

I am pretty sure it's not actually a micro 4/3 sensor. it's a 4/3 sensor not true micro four thirds in a traditional sense.
