A Hasselblad Wide-Angle Camera, Medium Tele Camera, and 166mm Tele Camera combine in mid-air to give Mavis 3 Pro drone pilots all the shooting options they need on one aerial platform.
DJI refers to its new Mavic 3 Pro as a flagship drone, and it's easy to see why. Featuring the Mavic brand's renowned Hasselblad camera, two tele cameras, a 43-minute maximum flight time (37min hover), DJI’s Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing, and 15km line of sight HD video transmission, it's pretty difficult to describe it as anything else.
The triple- camera system with its three focal lengths (24mm/70mm/166mm) is obviously the standout feature.
The 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad camera supports shooting 12-bit RAW photos with a native dynamic range of up to 12.8 stops and provides image capture at up to 5.1K at 50fps or DCI 4K at 120fps. A new 10-bit D-Log M color mode supports recording up to one billion
colours, which is going to be helpful in even high-contrast scenarios such as those crucial golden hour sunrises and sunsets.
The medium tele camera (70mm format equivalent) is suitable in a range of different scenarios from framing buildings to cars in commercial shoots. With its 1/1.3" CMOS sensor and 3x optical zoom, it is capable of 48MP/12MP photos, 4K/60fps video, and also supports the new D-log M. DJI reckons it compresses the depth of field and depth of focus to highlight the subject and give a unique sense of depth and space, and reckons its s 3x optical zoom make sit ideal for hyper lapse work.
Lastly, the 166mm tele features increased resolution, aperture (from f4.4 to f3.4) and supports shooting 4K/60fps video with 7x optical zoom and 12MP photos. A hybrid zoom reaches up to 28x.
The Hasselblad camera and the medium tele camera both support FocusTrack, which includes ActiveTrack 5.0, Spotlight, and Point of Interest, enabling stable tracking shots in multiple directions.
All three cameras support Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Apple ProRes 422, and Apple ProRes 422 LT encoding. The drone also has a built-in 1TB SSD and a 10Gbps lightspeed data cable to help facilitate pro workflows.
“At DJI we are constantly evolving our products to help capture fascinating scenery and explore visual storytelling through both video and stills,” said Ferdinand Wolf, Creative Director at DJI. “The Mavic 3 Pro’s triple camera combination gives users the ability to switch between shot composition with just one tap, allowing content creators a wider variety of shots in less time than ever before. We can’t wait to see the end result of how people use the drone to alter the viewers' perception of space and distance.”
