DJI Mavic 3 Pro First Flight - Experimenting With The New Camera

[@markkempton4579]

I love the direct comparison of the focal lengths. You've sold me on the 3 Pro vs the 3 right here!

[@AlexPizarro]

Glad I upgraded Keep Uploading this Billy, I have already ordered mine and I can't wait. Sitting here watching his videos until mine arrives!

[@billykyle]

Cool! I think you will enjoy it! Thanks so much Alex.

[@adymatt334]

I’m keen to see a lens “turret” in the future. Some kind of mechanism that can rotate a trio of lens onto the one sensor. This way we could keep the same consistent quality of the 4/3or better sensor.

[@jaybillups2063]

Yep, that would make it actually PRO. The cameras, as they are, don't match each other for video

[@billykyle]

That would be wild!

[@davidwalker2402]

You don’t need a turret , just have a single zoom lens form 24mm to 150mm on a 4/3 sensor.

[@adymatt334]

@@davidwalker2402 Nah that wouldn’t work. The lens would need lots of glass elements that are heavy and the it would have to extend and retract. The lens would also be long. No way could a gimbal handle it on a small drone. You would need a drone bigger than an inspire to do that. You would basically be designing the Matrice 300 which is super large and expensive. Oh that lens would be expensive too. If you had a turret the lenses could be the same size and weight the are now. If the three lenses were the same weight then the gimbal would stay balanced. Another way of doing it would be to move the sensor to each lens but that brings up a whole bunch of other issues which may make it impossible.

[@davidwalker2402]

@@adymatt334 there’s a 24/48 mm zoom on Mavic 2 zoom . And it’s tiny 😉

[@MattysDroneWorld]

Dude when I was watching you fly the Mavic 3 in Florida, I was amazed at the penetration and range you can get on that rig! Good review bro!

[@billykyle]

Thanks bro! The range is craaaazy

[@imran_djimavic3]

Will this new drone fit in a case that has a cut out designed for a Mavic 3 ?

[@danreynoldsphotography210]

Billy, how about a video on your best Mavic 3 Pro settings ? Gimbal, etc. ? You're the best so would love to see your settings.

[@dfwald4657]

Please do testing of the 70mm and 166 mm at night in the city or anywhere with bright small light sources. The Mavic 3's 7x camera always has vertical flaring of bright light sources (street lights, car lights, brightly lit building signs) which always ruin night city photos. I want to know if the new tele 166 mm has the same issue or is crisper with light sources. Hopefully the 70mm acts like the 24mm with bright light sources.

[@paullivingston1009]

Thanks for this! Question: Do you have to stop recording every time you switch cameras?

[@oxygen6371]

This is what I'm desperate to know. Did you find the answer, Paul?

[@peterbennpan7288]

So let me get this straight...... you can only buy brand new the Mavic 3 classic and Mavic 3 pro variants?

[@beedroneinsta]

hey parker ...well done sir. a great flowing video some of the shots are amazing and a credit to yourself. what fpv drone did you fly?

[@Omuretsu]

Is there anything you don’t like about the drone? I have the avata and mini3 pro and love them. Thinking about adding this one to the lineup

[@BrianKushner]

I wish you could change lenses instead of cameras that way everything would utilize the 4/3 sensor...

[@harrisongould9460]

I want one...but - I WILL RESIST. I was thinking, preprogramed waypoints during the day(so you don't hit anything) and then flying those same waypoints at night(in the city) with the the 7X zoom...might look awesome.

[@harrisongould9460]

@@seanwan30 well, how about just before night?. My idea was more about flying the ‘waypoints’ with the 7X and not being afraid of it.

[@billykyle]

It's ok at night

[@harrisongould9460]

@@seanwan30 Just a tiny off topic comment. I knew the 7X zoom was a 12MB still camera but had no clue the 3X camera was the same(aside from the 48MB interpolated) native file size. Hell...I can get that from the 20MB still image from the 1X camera...I'll just crop. With that said, you can get 4X from all the cameras when shooting video. Matching up the cameras in post will take some time. Anyway...no longer excited about getting one. We'll see how that goes...haha.

[@djthechef8975]

Okay, M3pro fly more combo (rc pro) $3,889 and the M3pro cine premium combo (rc pro) $4,799 whats the difference and is the Cine worth the extra grand when the M3pro has an upgraded camera?

[@billykyle]

Cine allows you to shoot in prores and has a built in SSD.

[@djthechef8975]

@@billykyle so in your opinion is it worth the extra grand?

[@Radiusxe]

It can't switch cameras during recordings?

[@SkyPathProductions]

Great video! I’m just starting out…how would you suggest getting jobs like real estate or any other type of video. I’ve tried cold emailing and have never received a response.

[@billykyle]

Doing free work can help. Starting is hard, but once you get some clients, your name will spread like wild fire. Word of mouth is huge.

[@theDRONEguytv]

Great video and content as always buddy, at moment i'll be sticking with the Classic as the price here in the UK for the Pro is a little steep, I do a lot of commercial construction builds and theres no doubt the different camera would be fantastic. Again great video, stay safe buddy.😀

[@billykyle]

It would be a huge help! Thanks for watching!

[@moemaster1966]

I wonder if DJI will offer any wide angle lenses for the pro like they did on the original mavic 3 …not that I’d buy one just wondering

[@darriusholt]

I think it's already available on their site as an add on.

[@billykyle]

Yes they do sell one

[@WiljanWiljan]

Great video! Can you provide some more details how to best handle the light conditions with the nd on this new drone? This because of the different apertures with the lenses....

[@HoustonBrownPhotography]

Has the flight characteristics changed at all? DJI needs to make it fly more like the Mavic 2 PRO and take off the restrictions. Also, can you TURN OFF the auto-land so that it will land in your hand without you having to sneak up on it. :)

[@billykyle]

Nope. No flight characteristic changes.

[@antoniocvalmeida]

[@craighermle7727]

Billy, nice review. Do you happen to have any stills from the 2ndary cameras shooting optically in raw,? Oh, yeah, while you're at it stills in low right would be great

[@jamesshippIII]

Man if only you could use all three cameras simultaneously! Mavic 3 pro vs2? ha DJI marketing plan right!... Question for ya please answer: The M3 has a digital tele at 3x that gives the same affect as the M3 Pro at 3x. How much real difference is there in the optical lense and the telephoto lense at 3x? Is it really worth spending the money to upgrade?

[@billykyle]

That would be so cool!

[@Minotauros5]

Hi Billy, you had mentioned in this video that the Mavic 3 Pro can be flown with the RC N1 remote. Do you know if that is actually true? I ask this because the RC N1 isn't available to purchase with the 3 Pro. And my reason is because I need to be able to use a large tablet, and I do have an RC N1 from my Air 2S. I would super appreciate a response. Thanks so much in advance. By the way, just discovered your channel with great content.

Brilliant Sir!!!; early days with finding reviews online, thanks for posting; I think you captured the key points regards the extra Camera difference's between the standard 3 and well done!; just a comment; the Inspire 1 also had the long forgotten (and relatively unknown!) Zenmuse Z3 Zoom Camera (Which I have) ; way ahead of its time and I still use regularly for similar shots that the 3 x on the new Pro can achieve !

[@peacefulthrillseeker]

That RC Pro controller is a must because of the transmission range plus screen recording simply unbeatable 💯

Where can I get the 50mm version of the Mavic 3 Pro?

[@JEK]

50mm, errr, 70mm is where it's at! The closer you can get to a subject with a drone, the more cinematic it gives off.

[@billykyle]

50mm would be nice too 🤣

[@NadimALMallah]

When I bought the Mavic 3 cine I thought it will be my flagship from its category which worth investing… but dji now is acting like smart phones each year adding a thing .. i feel bad about that … why they let me spend my money on mavic3 cine then after a year they add more to it telling me ur investing was a bad idea that time … im disappointed

[@pzazzcreativemedia7205]

Great demonstration Billy, though I did get a little nervous with the Power lines when zoomed in. 7x looks marginally better than mine. I have the M3 and RC pro, it would interest me as a third drone (second being the avata) but I wouldn't need the controller, cant see that option. The M3 is pro enough for me currently, M3P more a nicety than necessity

[@johnnoblemedia]

Good review, Billy. I will stick to my Mini 3 Pro and my Mavic 3 classic.

[@fabelhaftesweinlandpfalz]

I upgraded my Air2s to the Mavic 3 classic for 2 reasons mainly: sensor size and variable aperture. Now with the Mavic 3 Pro you get on top 2 cameras with smaller sensors and a fix aperture.....? What a real PRO should have been: one camera with a full frame sensor, variable aperture and an optical zoom.

[@billykyle]

You should work for DJI.

I think they should have made it a full frame sensor with the ability to switch different lens if needed like a mini inspire. The 3x camera isn’t enough for me to upgrade.

[@londenard]

DJI discontinued The Mavic 3 because they are using the Drone bodies for the new Mavic 3 Pro. All Mavic 3 drones have the same body and guts. I have taken the camera off my Mavic 3 and exchanged it with my son's Mavic Classic and it worked. When I did it I actually voided the warranty. DJI has put a special blue material over the screws that you have to remove to change camera. They don't want you do that yet. Smart marketing.
