The DJI Mavic 3 is one of the best-known drones on the market, but it’s a bit on the pricey side (as is to be expected from such a quality product). The Mavic 3 Classic brings the price down a little to make the drone more affordable, but without sacrificing any critical elements.
Features of the Mavic 3 Classic include: 4/3 CMOS 20-megapixel camera with a 24mm equivalent focal length lens, the O3 Plus transmission system, video capture at both 5.1K / 50fps, 4K / 60fps, and 1080p / 60fps, H.264 and H.265 encoding, slow-motion video capture, Wi-Fi 6 remote connection and photo download, compatibility with DJI’s automated Quickshot mode, cruise control, ActiveTrack 5.0 subject tracking, and a battery life of up to 46 minutes of flight time.
It’s also packed with a plethora of safety features—including AirSense ADS-B receiver to avoid nearby airplanes, GEO 2.0 geo-fencing, and 8 built-in visual sensors paired with an APAS 5.0 obstacle avoidance system—that will keep it safe no matter how far or fast you fly it.
