DJI Mavic 3 Pro Review - King of Drones with Even More Cameras

[@QuickAssTutorials]

5.1k 4/3” normal camera is f2.8 3x .77” sensor 77mm equivalent - f2.8 7x 1/2” sensor 166mm equivalent - f3.4

[@Matanumi]

And then the old mavic 3 7x was f4.3?.... Also did you sell your inspire 2!?

[@QuickAssTutorials]

@@Matanumi no way, I meant to say when I first had the inspire, but I made it sound like I used to have it I will if they send me an inspire 3 though but that is VERY expensive

[@maxcheng6283]

@@QuickAssTutorials Hi, so I'm trying to decide if I buy a Mavic 3 Pro or an Inspire 2 (roughly the same price, anymore). Do you have an opinion?

[@jonnanieminen8848]

3x lens is 70mm. Original Mavic 3 with two lenses isn't available anymore on DJI website. There is no need to have a full frame camera on a compact drone. The quality of the lens is what matters the most. For example OM-1 has a micro four thirds sensor and the image quality is stunning. I rather that a good MFT lens than a bad full frame lens, any day

[@dronetheworld4k67]

If only that digital zoom was clear enough while zooming up to 7x only, .....

[@SteveFlanigan]

Your drone videos have assisted me in my decision to purchase the DJI Mavic 3 Pro. I can't wait for it to arrive.

[@washnon]

How do you like it?

[@sdtaylor07]

Another high quality video from Alex Harris. I’m satisfied with my Mavic 3 classic, but it’s good to stay informed Pause at 5:35. You're welcome

[@stuartmartin093]

You will never see full frame on a Mavic body. At a push they may be able to go up to aps-c but at this point its diminishing returns and extra focal lengths are more useful for most photographers and cinematographers than a slightly larger sensor. But you knew this when you said it and it got me to comment so you sir are a genius 😂 great vid

[@julianmclean3869]

Many thanks for sharing and another no nonsense review with real world footage; thank you...................

Excellent Drone Video !! Thank you !

[@georgekelly1948]

Your videos are always informative and entertaining. I know from everything I have learned from you that the Mini 3 Pro is all the drone I need. I share videos with my children and their families and having the videos running on the large digital frame in my home. But I love to fly as much as I like to capture images, and as a result, I want “just one more drone” before the angels come to take me away. (Age 74 and still quite agile.) An Air 3 this year, or if it does not appear, a Mavic 3 Classic. Cheers, young man.

You are my favourite dron reviewer just great job , thank you

[@rushrucker1785]

Awesome Video! Your videos are always informational with lots of great footage. I went to the DJI website and noticed that the original Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 cine are not in stock. So it looks like the lineup is the Mavic 3 Pro and the Mavic 3 Classic. With the pricing starting at $2199, it appears that DJI just replaced the original Mavic 3 line.

[@nicohutcheon]

Does this Drone Film in Hybrid Log Gamma? (HLG)

[@timelapsebylkunl72]

Thank for a great review.

[@MattShockley]

Such a great quick ass tutorial :). Quick question… with latest firmware, can you use D-log or D-log M in quick shots? And will it let you use 24p? Or still only 30 and no d-log?

"drugs to a prison 10 miles away" Lmao im dead Dope video bro

[@buckledcranium]

Great review as always - I have a Mavic 3 and I'm considering upgrading to the Pro; one thing I haven't seen answerred in reviews is wether you can use Point of Interest mode or shoot Mastershots in 5.1K with the upgraded Pro model ? With the standard I felt a bit short-changed that all the marketing pushed the 5K spec; but then so many of the intelligent flight modes and features were locked-out leading to my shooting entirely in 4K. 5K would offer more flexibility for digital stabilization and re-framing with Point of Interest orbiting shots in particular this would be ideal. If anyone could clarify this I would hugely appreciate it.

[@JonnyRay82]

Great question

[@audreydaff4487]

Amazing content. Question: Hlg is 10 bit in any drone version?

[@carrmedicalgroup4801]

Hey man, I'm an amateur/ prosumer ( day job is a physician) and must say I hardly ever subscribe, but your explanations and metaphors are great. The way you described Pro Res to a guy like me was great Great work!

[@jae3185]

Cool video and info, I’ll stick to my mavic 3 for now, especially after I saw the spec comparisons. I don’t use the zoom much anyway.

[@RascoJr]

your explanation of prores vs h265 made it click for me lol. and i use prores from time to time

[@adammittleider9240]

Love these videos… been rocking a mini 3 pro for a year and never feel like I’m missing features. Granted don’t get paid to fly mine so don’t care about all of the editing.

[@ngagen.priceldda2742]

I own mavic 1 to 3 and the avata ... im a fan of dji drones but question... is it possible to swap my dual camera of my M3 to triple camera? Even if the nose is higher? ... well played by dji if only i knew that there will be the best of the best of M3 Consumer model i should have waited...

[@salto1876]

DJI never stop awesome..

[@acidgarage]

Your sarcasm is hilarious. Subbed.

[@bitmaster2000]

Hi bro. It's worth noting that there's an important difference between the Mavic 3 Pro and the other Mavic 3's, and that's the label. It has a C2-label instead of C1. That's here in Europe anyway. It means that I can't fly over people with the new Mavic 3 Pro, but I can with the other Mavic 3's. Anyways, I love your videos. Bye.

[@fotografmorteneriksen]

Getting a cine versjon soon. Need that controller. Looking forward to it :D

[@JaredDoyle76]

Mavic 4 would most likely have a 24MP or 30MP APS sized sensor if they decide to outgrow the M4/3 sensor.

[@RonaldBrown59]

It looks like a nice upgrade, if only for that new camera alone. Great information, and thanks for sharing.

[@sibertiger17]

Fantastic as always. Now my Mavic 2 Pro is seriously looking outdated! Lol

[@SkyPathProductions]

Would you say the inspire 3 is a good purchase? I would use all of the features, but I’m curious as to if something better will come out in the future.

[@jerseyshoredroneservices225]

Of course something better will come in the future but it won't be from DJI, anytime soon. If your business model can justify the price then go for it. If you have that kind of money to spend then maybe also consider the Sony Airpeak or Freefly to get away from geofencing. They would also give you more camera and lens options then the inspire 3.

[@justinberken]

Best thumbnail award goes to you 👍

[@paulwhiteman59]

Hi from England what’s your take after testing must have for 2023 ? I have mine coming 16th of may not long thought I would reach out and checkout what you thought cheers Paul

[@NaomiTimson]

Thanks so much for your videos, Can the Mavic 3 pro record sound? When streaming a live event. If not how do I add sound to my videos for events? Thank you

[@AdventureOrBust]

The 70mm camera was exactly what I was wanting.. it’s almost as if dji was reading my mind

[@JonnyRay82]

When I saw you were reviewing the 3 Pro I knew I would get so many more of my questions answered than anyone else. Thank you. And thanks for the comparison shots to the Mavic 3. One question I still have: Can you use features like hyperlapse with the other two tele cameras on this one? I know there is no hyperlapse with the regular Mavic 3 on the 7x tele.

[@dfwald4657]

DJI says you can do Hyperlapses with the 3x but not with the 7x.

[@RaymondToms]

Great over view. Is it a mechanical shutter like the Mavic 3e? Essential for mapping.

[@Finite-Tuning]

Yeah Prores makes huge files, it's all I frames so each frame contains 100% of the information. This also makes for much easier editing because all the information is available in each frame. With 1 TB of storage you can still record a couple + hours of Prores 4K, totally worth it in my opinion. Love your videos! Cheers man 🍻

[@tykeboy16]

How do you economically back those files up?

[@Finite-Tuning]

@@tykeboy16: They're already in archival form, just copy the .mov files to where ever you backup. Hard drives are cheap. You either want the best quality you can get or you want the smallest file size, but you can't have both.

[@RPMusicStudios]

I need my lucky underwear when flying drugs to a prison . 😂

Enjoy your straightforward reviews. Your thoughts between the Classic vs a non-Cine Pro?

[@GermanShepherdsCharlieMaxie]

Best place to purchase Mavic 3 or classic?

[@wittig7730]

Great video. I’d love to see more about the differences specifically between the 7x tele on the standard vs pro model

[@QuickAssTutorials]

Very similar just brighter, and it is a bit sharper. DJI mentioned “better background compression” but I didn’t get to ask what specifically that meant to look for because they were busy and it was launch time

[@steelswitch1245]

I am just now getting into drones and hoping to do it professionally. My eye is on this drone with the RC Pro. Good investment?

[@lukasrenk3723]

You always talk about the two batteries being enough @QuickAssTutorials . I am doing a Roadtrip in a Van for the Van Company soon and I have two Mavic 3 Classic batteries now. Are you sure that those are going to be enough? I might need to do a few short hikes and I have no idea if the car battery can take it if we are charging 2 mavic 3 classic batteries at night and 4 air2s batteries. (+all the Sony Camera batteries) Some insight would be great!

[@QuickAssTutorials]

Mavic 3 Classic runs for 46 minutes, if you are driving you will be okay. But the mavic 3 needs a 65w charger at least, you can't have a regular USB-C phone charger in there. Find a USB-C 65w car adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter on amazon, or if you have an AC outlet in the car like a regular wall outlet, you can just use that. Charge it while the car is running by the way. Its your call but I would only take 2, but my hikes aren't 8 hours long so idk.

[@darriusholt]

You can try the anker 737 battery pack. It will charge the Mavic at 65 watts through usb-c and it's portable. I use it to charge my macbook pro if I'm not near an outlet.

[@khalidalkaabi5506]

thank you

[@codyvandyke8761]

What's the best program for editing footage?

[@puhaletasan2711]

dude, epic video as always. in december I got myself a mavic 3 classic but returned it as it was too loud for me. Do you think i should wait for the air 3/mini 4 or just get the classic? I do drone photography just for the fun of it and I create video or just edit photos for myself. The shots in your video look absolutely outstanding and I wish that someday I myself will create content like this.

[@QuickAssTutorials]

Thank you so much, you will love the mini 3, way less stressful and much quieter. They will all be pretty noisy and drive up anxiety as soon as it’s 100 feet away and you’re in public, but the mini 3 is a lot less big of a deal. And it’s photography so it really doesn’t matter as much as video, it still does raw format photos. So it’s way more up to the photographer than the equipment. I see photos posted all the time that you cannot tell that they weren’t shot on a bigger drone. Mini 3 is insane bang for the buck.

[@puhaletasan2711]

Great review once again. What version of Android does the Pro Controller run? I hope it's at least 11 or 12. As a backup controller, can this connect to an RC-N1? I really like my smartphone.

Would it be overkill getting Mavic 3 pro for still? With that big sensor.

[@denaco]

alex i just got the mavic 3 classic and in dlog its iso autos at 400 and wont go any lower. i've always color graded dlog in the 2s and mini 3 and used iso 100-200, but i can only get iso 100 in normal mode on the mavic. 400 seems silly high during the day and noticed yours was 400 in a bright day... do you know why this is? i can see why it is good in twilight but too high in daylight i would have thought. would you say shoot in normal during the day and leave dlog for night and sunsets?

[@QuickAssTutorials]

When shooting Dlog you go by that sensors ISO, like what it operates at naturally. Like if a car had a gear that’s most fuel efficient It seems funky but it’s the cleanest don’t worry. Again you want to shoot a bit brighter on the exposure meter as well I use normal mode all the time, dlog is for when a client requested it or a REALLY crazy lighting situation like Morter fire in the rain during sunset Dlog takes practice too, easy to mess up coloring. I’d just stick to normal

[@denaco]

@@QuickAssTutorialsi see... thanks for the break down. when i grade dlog i use luts at half opacity and further grade them but if i can get better results in normal with this thing then i'll do that for sure and save time and effort.

[@jerseyshoredroneservices225]

Thanks for that great review! On the LOG settings are you limited to the ISO that you can choose? Have you flown this yet? I'm concerned about the weight of three lenses and the big filter on the gimbal, especially on a windy day.

[@QuickAssTutorials]

Yeah this is all my footage from it, the gimbal is just bigger which means it can stabilize better. No issues at all Haven’t been able to try tilting upwards or even think of it yet Dlog-M let’s you do ISO 100 but the sensor naturally operates at ISO 400. When you shoot DLOG you just use what the sensor is most efficient at naturally, so it just seems weird but it’s cleaner in the end that way

[@jerseyshoredroneservices225]

@@QuickAssTutorials TY!

[@seraphin01]

Finally the Mavic 3 we were supposed to have to begin with (especially for the price they asked) Only thing is considering the price of pro res, why not make it optional just like in the inspire, not everyone need pro res or even use it when available. I've been working with huge file for a long time but it's not always worth it. How many times I had to do a small shoot or even a personal project with my 1dxII and filming with it was fine but the codec was just horrible like prores.. Sure you could extract every single frame from the video file but how many times did I use that feature in like 5 or so years? Once. And if I didn't have it that would have been just fine. So yeah prores, make it optional, especially if you don't work on a Mac, chances are you won't use it. And if you have a big prod well you'll just add it as an option, simple as that

[@c938695]

Well I think the Fly more Combo will be the same except for the ProRes right? The 1TB SSD can be easily replaced by two 500GB MSDC. No?
