DJI Mavic 3 is a flagship folding camera drone built for demanding creators. It pairs a professional‑grade 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad wide camera with a 162 mm-equivalent tele camera, adds omnidirectional obstacle sensing with APAS 5.0, and flies up to 46 minutes per charge. With O3+ transmission for a reliable 1080p/60fps live feed at long range, Advanced Return-to-Home, and ADS-B AirSense, it brings pro imaging and robust flight safety to a portable airframe. The Mavic 3 Cine variant further unlocks Apple ProRes recording and an integrated 1 TB SSD for high‑bit‑rate workflows.

Advantages

  • Large 4/3‑type Hasselblad sensor with variable aperture delivers high dynamic range and strong low‑light performance.
  • Professional codecs and media: 10‑bit D‑Log on Mavic 3; Apple ProRes and 1 TB SSD on Cine for high‑end workflows.
  • Long 46‑minute max flight time improves shooting efficiency and route planning.
  • O3+ transmission with 1080p/60fps live view and up to 15 km FCC range enhances control confidence.
  • Omnidirectional obstacle sensing with APAS 5.0 and Advanced RTH increases safety in complex environments.
  • Dual‑camera system adds a long‑reach tele for scouting and creative perspectives.

Disadvantages

  • High purchase price compared with consumer‑focused drones.
  • Heavier 895 g airframe requires registration in many regions and is less discreet than sub‑250 g models.
  • Tele camera uses a smaller sensor and narrower aperture, yielding lower image quality and fewer high‑frame‑rate options than the main camera.
  • Larger folded size and batteries add bulk versus ultra‑compact “Mini” class drones.
