In the past, the drone would ascend to the highest point and fly over obstacles on its way back home. Sensors can also detect obstacles at a maximum 200m (656ft) range. DJI says this new iteration not only moves with the subject in all directions, it can also continue to track said subject if it moves out of the frame and reacquire it quickly.ĭJI's new RC Pro remote comes with the Mavic 3 Cine.Īlso new is an improved Return To Home (RTH) system that measures wind speed and calculates the safest, most efficient path back to the starting point. Meanwhile, ActiveTrack has also been updated to version 5.0. APAS 5.0 receives inputs from six fisheye vision sensors and two wideangle angle sensors that detect obstacles in all directions and plans routes to avoid them.

This new controller, which is in essence a successor to DJI's Smart Controller, features a 1000-nit 5.5" 'high-bright' screen.ĭJI has also upgraded its Advanced Pilot Assistance Program (APAS) to version 5.0 for the Mavic 3 series. The Mavic 3 uses the same RC-N1 Remote Controller as the Air 2S and Mini 2, while the Mavic 3 Cine comes with an upgraded smart controller DJI is calling the RC Pro.

The Mavic 3 series is powered by DJI's Fly app, first introduced with the Mavic Mini back in November 2019. The Cine also comes with DJI's new 10Gbps Lightspeed Data Cable that should make it easier to quickly transfer files from the drone to your computer or external storage. The standard Mavic 3 model contains 8GB of internal storage while the Cine has a 1TB SSD built in, in order to store the much larger ProRes 422 HQ video files. Both models offer 10-bit D-Log recording. Aside from ProRes 422 HQ capture, both drones can record 5.1K/50p, DCI or UHD 4K/120p and 1080p/200p footage (200 Mbps with H.264 and 140 Mbps with H.265). The main imaging difference between the Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine models is that the Cine model can capture ProRes 422 HQ at a maximum data rate of 3,772 Mbps. Both lenses combine to offer a 28x hybrid (optical + digital) zoom function. The secondary camera (the top one in the array) uses a 12MP 1/2"-type CMOS sensor behind a 162mm (equiv.) telephoto lens with a fixed F4.4 aperture. Inside the main camera, which can capture 12-bit Raw files, is a 20MP Four Thirds sensor behind a 24mm (full-frame equiv.) lens with a variable F2.8-11 aperture.

DJI has announced the Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine, the latest drones in its Mavic lineup that bring dual camera systems with improved sensors, omnidirectional obstacle sensing, improved flight time and more.īoth the Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine feature a Hasselblad-branded L2D-20c dual-camera array that couples DJI engineering with Hasselblad's proprietary Natural Color Solution (HNCS) technology.
