DJI Mavic 3 Classic vs Mavic 3 vs Mavic 3 Cine
Despite having the same high-quality 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad sensor as the other two drones, only the Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine have a tele camera for greater magnification.
Mavic 3 Cine - Aimed at professional filmmakers with the Apple ProRes 422 codec and 1tb internal storage
The Mavic 3 Classic has a lower price but doesn’t include the Tele lens
The Mavic 3 Classic, Mavic 3, and Mavic 3 Cine are industry-leading drones for creating content. They share features including the 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad sensor for 20MP imaging and the capacity to record 5.1K/50fps video and breathtaking 4K/120fps slow-motion.
All three Mavic 3 drones were designed for producing high-quality content and use the micro 4/3 Hasselblad sensor.
The camera uses H.264 and H.265 encoders to record video at up to 5.1K/50 fps, 4K/60 fps, and 1080p/60 fps. Mavic 3 Classic records footage at 4K/120fps and 1080p/200fps for use in slow-motion applications. Its 24mm equivalent focal length lens has an aperture range of f/2.8 to f/11, with a native dynamic range of 12.8 stops. The 20-megapixel camera is up to the task of faithfully capturing the vibrant hues, peak highlights, and detail-rich shadows of our environment since light is processed in 12-bit RAW for photography and 10-bit D-Log for video.
Utilizing the DJI Fly app, the Mavic 3 Classic, Mavic 3, and Mavic 3 Cine all share a variety of smart shooting modes that speed up the production of high-quality film. These include:
MasterShots - An automatic mode where the drone will automatically fly around and create cinematic footage.
QuickShots - Perform expert camera movements like Dronie, Rocket, Circle, and Helix automatically.
Hyperlapse - Beautiful video that both slows down and speeds up time.
Panorama - Capture more of your surroundings with a wide-view photo
ActiveTrack 5.0 - Simply draw a box over the subject and the drone will automatically follow the subject while using it’s obstacle avoidance to not crash.
The DJI RC, DJI RC Pro, and DJI RC-N1 are the three controllers that work with the Mavic 3 Series.
The DJI RC and RC Pro are effectively controllers with an inbuilt screen.
