Now read our full review of the DJI Mavic 3 Pro

If you’re looking for a do-it-all pro-spec camera drone that flies supremely well and delivers impeccable imagery flight after flight, this is the model for you. You also get premium resolution – 5.1K at up to 50 frames per second and 4K at up to 120fps – and huge images from 20 megapixels to 48MP. This means you can create amazing widescreen landscape shots, zoom in a little to add a striking shallow depth of field or zoom in from afar to shoot wildlife without any disturbance from the drone. You get three cameras with this drone: a wide-angle 24mm Hasselblad with an aperture range of f/2.8-f/11 and an 84˚ field of view an all-new 3x 70mm medium tele camera with a 35˚ field of view and a fixed aperture of f2.8 and a 166mm 7x zoom lens with a large-ish aperture of f3.4.

Yes, the drone itself is the same as the current Mavic 3 but this one takes aerial videography and photography to a much higher echelon. This is the prosumer drone we’ve all been waiting for. Regarding video footage, the Mini 3 Pro is capable of shooting 4K at up to 60p though this writer still prefers the sharpened image of the Autel Evo Nano+.

On the plus side, the Mini 3’s camera is also equipped with a really wide f1.7 aperture for low-light shooting and the wherewithal to be tilted vertically for Instagram and TikTok posting. There are some improvements to the camera, too, including a CMOS sensor that, at 1/1.3-inch, is a little larger than that fitted to the current DJI Mini 2 (although still a bit smaller than the 0.8-inch sensor in the Evo Nano+). The Mini 3 Pro sports forward, rearward and downward obstacle sensing, a flight time of up to 34 minutes and a low-interference transmitter range of up to a phenomenal 7.4 miles.
#Best camera drone 2021 series
The newest addition to DJI's popular sub-250g Mini series launched shortly after the Autel drone in our #4 spot, and at the time of release it was an extremely close fight between the two. Screwdriver required to change the propellersĪlthough it is just marginally usurped by the DJI Mavic Classic, this little drone's low sub-250g weight, its smorgasbord of tantalising tech, ability to fly in slightly stronger winds and great low price make it our top choice for most users. In fact, at this price, it’s almost a steal.

When it comes to shooting high-resolution footage that’s fit for most broadcast media or stills sharp and detailed enough to grace the cover of a glossy magazine, the new Classic is an absolute shoo-in. This means that the Classic is capable of shooting exactly the same pin-sharp 5.1K imagery as the Mavic 3’s main camera while costing quite a bit less.įor anyone unfamiliar with the specs of the standard Mavic 3, the Mavic 3 Classic folds into a tidy package for transport and comes equipped with omnidirectional obstacle sensing, 9-mile HD video transmission and a plethora of smart, fully autonomous flight features, including active tracking, MasterShots, QuickShots, Hyperlapse and Panorama. In fact, the only difference between the two is that the new Classic variant comes without the 28x hybrid tele zoom camera that sits atop the Mavic 3’s main 4/3 CMOS f/2.8-f/11 Hasselblad camera. The Mavic 3 Classic is, to all intents and purposes, exactly the same drone as the Mavic 3 – it’s the same shape, size and weight, and it shares the same onboard specs and flight characteristics.
