The specifications of the soon-to-release DJI Mavic 3 Pro drone are already out in the open, thanks to a couple of leaks in the recent past. The drone is said to offer drastically improved battery life and two cameras instead of one, over the three-year-old Mavic 2 Pro and even the Mavic Air 2S introduced earlier this year.
Specifications
Sources report that the DJI Mavic 3 Pro will be increasing the flight time to an impressive 46 minutes when flying in ideal conditions (no wind and speed of 15.5mph). And that’s despite the additional camera.

The drone has a large Four Thirds sensor behind its 24mm f/2.8-f/11 camera that’s joined by a telephoto lens in front of its new 1/2” secondary sensor. The latter stretches out to 160mm for a 150-degree field of view.
The sensors are 20-megapixel for primary and 12-megapixel for telephoto. They both appear to offer 5.2K video.
The Mavic 3 Pro sports a full array of DJI proprietary features including obstacle avoidance and intelligent flight mode. There will be modes such as HyperLapse, ActiveTrack, QuickShot, Panorama, and Advanced Pilot Assistance to help take the video recording experience a notch above.
Also new this time are the forward obstacle avoidance sensors that no longer point ahead and are now slightly angled. This has been done to assist the drone with an enhanced field of view for better obstacle avoidance.
All in all, the drone weighs in at 920 grams.
Controller
A drone is obviously incomplete without its controller and the DJI Mavic 3 Pro will be coming with a Smart Controller V2. With the latest version of DJI’s OcuSync video transmission technology, it will be able to transmit real-time HD video up to 15km and will sport a 1000nits bright built-in screen with an FHD resolution.
The controller will be Android and will be able to connect to the internet using WiFi or via an LTE dongle. It will be powered by a 5000mAh battery at 9.2V and will offer a runtime of 3 hours. There will be customizable buttons, gimbal control features, and a USB-C port for charging.
Accessories
Leaked documents suggest that DJI also has plans for a Fly More combo for the Mavic 3 Pro. This combo brings along accessories like extra propellers, 3 batteries, a carrying bag, and more.
The full list of accessories has been given in the image below.
Pricing & Availability
The DJI Mavic 3 Pro should start at $1,600, which is the same price as Mavic 2 Pro. However, getting your hands on the Cine package could easily cost an additional $1,000. The existing DJI Smart Controller costs $750 all by itself.
The drone is expected to be launching on November 15th, an entire month after its earlier expected October release date.
