The new Mavic 3 Classic offers premium performance in a more affordable package with an option to purchase the drone alone for those who already have existing DJI drones with remote controllers and chargers and are ready to move up to the top-of-the line camera. The Mavic 3 Classic camera can record up to 5.1K/50 fps, 4K/60 fps and 1080p/60fps using H.264 and H.265 encoders as well as high-speed 4K/120fps and 1080p/200fps for slow-motion playback. Its 24mm equivalent focal length lens has an aperture range of f/2.8 to f/11 for 12.8 stops of native dynamic range. Images can be processed in 12-bit RAW for stills photography and 10-bit D-Log for video.

DJI’s flight technology provides an easy-to-use interface that functions smoothly right out of the box, is customizable for the most precise control, and easily outputs images and videos for sharing, editing and post-production. The Mavic 3 Classic uses the same batteries as the rest of the Mavic 3 Series and supports flight times of up to 46 minutes with algorithms for tracking subjects, framing images and automatically moving the camera in cinematic flight patterns. The ActiveTrack 5.0 system uses multiple vision sensors to recognize subjects, lock them in frame, and move the drone and camera in concert to create professional-quality videos. The High-Speed QuickTransfer option allows quick image and video downloads direct from the drone to a mobile phone over Wi-Fi 6 at speeds up to 80 MB per second without connecting to the remote controller.
