“It’s not the drone, it’s the data” has long been a saying in the commercial drone industry. With the Mavic 3 Classic, DJI has created all the content for creators, offering an easy-to-use and affordable aircraft with an incredible Hasselblad camera.
“The Mavic 3 Classic features the same 4/3 CMOS 20-megapixel camera, 46-minute maximum flight time, and O3+ transmission system as the original Mavic 3 drone, but without the additional telephoto lens. Compatible with the DJI RC Pro, DJI RC, and DJI RC-N1, it offers top performance in a more affordable package, making it easy for drone creators to transition to the best flying camera on the market. .”
“The Mavic 3 series has always set the standard for what drones can do, from the original Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine that revolutionized aerial photography and cinematography, to the Mavic 3 Enterprise and Mavic 3 Thermal platforms for professional work. ”said Ferdinand. DJI Creative Director Wolf. “Today, DJI is committed to giving more creators access to the photographic excellence and operational reliability that characterize the Mavic 3 series. We hope that you will take advantage of our superior tools and push your creativity beyond the limits of what has been possible.”
it all depends on the camera
The camera may be what makes the Mavic 3 Classic the best drone for content creators. Equipped with a natural color solution, Hasselblad cameras are designed to produce output that matches what people perceive, with accurate color that does not require color calibration. According to DJI’s announcement, “Even in low-light scenarios such as sunrise and sunset, the Night Shot video mode reduces visual noise for cleaner shots.”
With the launch of the Mavic 3 Classic, more creators will have full access to the wide range of possibilities offered by the Mavic 3 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad camera. For video work, the camera uses H.264 and H.265 encoders to capture up to 5.1K/50 fps, 4K/60 fps, and 1080p/60 fps. In slow motion applications, the Mavic 3 Classic captures video at 4K/120fps and 1080p/200fps. Its 24mm equivalent focal length lens opens up to an adjustable aperture spanning f/2.8 to f/11 against his 12.8 stops of native dynamic range. When light hits the 20-megapixel sensor, photos are processed in 12-bit RAW and video in 10-bit D-Log, so the camera accurately captures vivid colors, peak highlights and richness of detail. I will challenge the task of telling. shadow of our world.
Because content is what matters to creators, not drones, the Mavic 3 Classic is designed to be easy to fly so creators can focus on capturing. The Mavic 3 Classic “works smoothly out of the box, is customizable for the most precise control, and has a simple, easy-to-use interface that makes it easy to output images and videos for sharing, editing, and post-production. ” will be provided.
Add to that all the intelligent algorithms (ActiveTrack 5.0 system and MasterShots) for tracking subjects, framing images, and automatically moving the camera in cinematic flight patterns, combined with the Mavic 3 Classic. , will look great even for inexperienced drone flyers.
The Mavic 3 Classic features the automated QuickShots shooting mode that DJI pilots have come to love, as well as continued support for Timelapse, Hyperlapse, and Panorama shooting styles. A new cruise control feature allows pilots to set a constant flight speed for the drone, minimizing camera shake caused by manual speed control, while allowing them to focus on the image.
Safety, Remote ID, C1 Certificates, Secure Data
As the world’s largest drone manufacturer, DJI grapples with regulatory and safety issues. The Mavic 3 Classic is equipped with DJI-standard His AirSense system, which detects aircraft transmitting ADS-B signals, and GEO 2.0 geofencing, which prevents pilots from accidentally flying into restricted airspace. increase. In the US, the Mavic 3 Classic complies with Remote ID regulations (like his other Mavic 3 series drones). In Europe, “The complete Mavic 3 series has been issued the world’s first C1 certificate under the new European drone regulations.
