Unexpected DJI Mavic 3 update adds multiple new shooting modes and more

Zohaib Ahmed — Mon, 13 Dec 2021 07:31:12 +0000

A surprise DJI Mavic 3 firmware update has added a bunch of new features to the flagship drone – features that should’ve always been there. Grabbing the spotlight among these are multiple new shooting modes like FocusTrack, MasterShots, and Timelapse, all of which are already available on DJI’s more affordable drones.

A raw-only photo mode has also been added, along with reduced noise when shooting ProRes on the Mavic 3 Cine version and reduced vibration of the aircraft arms “in some scenarios”, although it’s unclear how the latter has been achieved through software (via TechRadar).

Other improvements include post-launch fixes, including improvements to the Return-to-Home (RTH) performance, obstacle avoidance, and hovering stability. The issue where abnormal colors appear in some situations has also been fixed along with several other stuff.

DJI has also promised that it will continue to refine intelligent flight modes like MasterShots in future firmware updates. Another update will also be rolled out in January 2022 to add other missing features like QuickTransfer, QuickShots, and Panorama mode.

The update carrying version number v01.00.0400 comes as a surprise since DJI had earlier announced that it won’t be arriving until January 22. It is joined by update v1.5.4 to the DJI Fly App that also landed recently.

To try out the latest firmware update on your DJI Mavic 3, you need to download the v1.5.4 version of the DJI Fly app from the DJI website and install Aircraft Firmware v01.00.0400. Alternatively, the DJI Assistant 2 app for Mac/Windows can also be used.

The primary difference between the two version includes an additional video format, Apple ProRes 422 HQ, on the Cine model along with 1TB of internal storage over the base model’s 8GB storage. Talking about its specs, the new dual cameras (20MP + 12MP) are housed on a 3 Axis Gimbal. The drone can fly for up to 46 minutes, and has a Transmission range of 9.3 miles (roughly 15 kilometers). Furthermore, the Mavic 3 also features a 360° Obstacle Avoidance System along with 10 Bit D Log Color Profile and HNCS, 1080p60 Live View Video Stream, and a RC-N1 OcuSync 2.0 Remote.

The Chinese drone maker has also announced the Mavic 3 with several software and design enhancements that boost its performance. This includes an improved omnidirectional sensor array to allow better vision of its environment to enable a crash free flight. Notably, the Mavic 3 is the first DJI drone to offer 1080p@60fps live feed. In other words, users get near identical live feed on their display, offering a look at what the Mavic 3 records in real time. As of right now, the base and Cine model along with its flagship accessories are currently available for pre order on B&H Photo.

Jed John Ikoba — Tue, 02 Nov 2021 16:45:31 +0000

The DJI Mavic 3 consumer drone has drawn substantial attention in the buildup leading to its unveiling on November 5. It has also been the subject of several leaks, as we have been serenaded with renders and key details about the new DJI drone. Now the hype has been revved several notches higher with the first video review of the Mavic 3 on YouTube.

The Mavic 3 is DJI’s flagship offering with several impressive features including its bigger battery. The public review video of the Mavic 3 was reportedly shared by ColorBee Photography Life channel and a DJI buff had the privilege of getting the clip.

The review video further illuminated some grey and previously unknown areas of the DJI Mavic 3 drone. This includes how the drone looks on the DJI Fly app. However, the video (which was in Chinese) was later taken down. The video highlighted the Mavic 3’s exquisite design and its impressive battery. There are no significant departures from what we are expecting as per the specs we had pieced together about the Mavic 3.

DJI has four products that have been lined up for unveiling but the Mavic 3 is the pick of the pack. It is a drone that could offer significant improvements across several aspects of its performance. Other products from DJI are the smart RC controller for the Mavic 3, the Action camera, and the DJI Mic. The Cine Model of the Mavic 3 is suited for professional content creators and will be compatible with the smart RC controller. While the Mavic 3 has a $2,300 price tag, the more illustrious Mavic 3 Cine version could cost up to $5,200.

DJI schedules a launch event on November 5; expected to launch DJI Mavic 3

Jeet — Tue, 02 Nov 2021 02:17:15 +0000

DJI, the popular drone maker, has officially announced that the company will be hosting a launch event in China on 5th November at 10:00 AM local time. The theme of the event is “Image Supreme” but the company has not revealed what is getting launched.

But, if the recent leaks are any indication, then the Chinese company is gearing up to launch its new Mavic-series drone, dubbed DJI Mavic 3.

The development is in line with the company’s plan of hosting three launch events for launching three different products. It hosted a launch event on 20th October to launch the Robin 4D, the brand’s first four-axis movie camera which is also equipped with a Zenmuse X9 imaging system.

Following the launch of Robin 4D, the company hosted another event on 27th October where it launched the DJI Action 2 full-scene sports camera that offers multi-form magnetic expansion options to adapt to various shooting scenes.

Now, at the upcoming 5th November event in China, the company is expected to launch the DJI Mavic 3, which has already been leaked online. It is said to be equipped with an omnidirectional obstacle avoidance system, and an infrared detection system.

DJI Mavic 3 Leak

It is said to feature a fully stabilized 3-axis gimbal with a telephoto and wide-angle camera with the ability to capture 5.2K video and 20-megapixel photos. The wide-angle lens has an aperture of f2.8, and the telephoto lens should support 7x zoom.

The product is expected to weigh around 920 grams. The drone is also said to feature a built-in 1TB storage capacity and come powered by a 5000mAh or 6000mAh capacity battery, which can provide 46 minutes of flight time. It is also expected to be bundled with standard accessories such as a remote control similar to that of the Mavic Air 2S.

If the reports are to be believed, then along with the Mavic 3, the company will also be launching the DJI Mavic 3 Cine which is likely designed for filmmakers and the camera will feature ND filters. To know for sure what’s up the company’s sleeves, we’ll have to wait for a couple of days more for the launch event to take place.

DJI Mavic 3 “official renders” leak revealing a Mavic 3 Cine model

Jed John Ikoba — Tue, 26 Oct 2021 19:53:05 +0000

Ahead of its November 5 launch, German blogger Nils Ahrensmeier has leaked the official renders of DJI Mavic 3 and a relatively unknown Mavic 3 Cine drone. The renders show the DJI Mavic 3 still uses a folding design, which is more portable overall. The streamline of the body is very similar to the previous generation, but there is a very eye-catching change. Its gimbal camera adopts a dual-camera solution. Hasselblad’s logo is very conspicuous, suggesting the camera may have been jointly developed with the renowned German photography expert.

Judging from the information marked on the body of this dual-camera module, the two cameras should correspond to independent wide-angle and telephoto functions. The wide-angle lens has an aperture of f2.8, and the telephoto lens should support 7x zoom. A wider range of application scenarios supports more shooting methods.

Earlier there was news that the DJI Mavic 3 will support 5.7K video shooting while supporting ProRes RAW video recording, as well as improved picture quality.

In addition, the Mavic 3 is said to feature a built-in 1TB storage capacity and will cram a 5000mAh or 6000mAh capacity battery, which can provide more than 40 minutes of flight time.

At the same time, the Mavic 3 will also come with an improved obstacle detection function with the obstacle avoidance sensors on the front and rear of the fuselage moved to the sides. The device will also be bundled with standard accessories such as a remote control similar to that of the Mavic Air 2S.

DJI will also be launching a Mavic 3 Cine which is likely designed for filmmakers and the camera will feature ND filters. The model has the word ‘Cine’ stamped on the propellers. It also comes with a remote control having support for on-screen display.

DJI Mavic 3 leaks in real skin revealing the entire design

Jed John Ikoba — Thu, 21 Oct 2021 20:37:44 +0000

The DJI Mavic 3 prosumer drone has been the subject of several leaks ahead of its scheduled November 5 unveiling. A new leak has been added to the growing list of images of the very impressive flagship offering of drone maker, DJI. The pictures reveal a sleek drone with slimmer arms and longer props than its predecessor. The new images could indicate that preorder shipments may have started reaching dealers. Probably taken in a warehouse, the new photos, two in total, provide some closer look at the flagship DJI offering in the drone segment.

The new details add to the trove of information already available online for the DJI Mavic 3. We already know that a smart controller will be part of the package for the cine version of the Mavic 3. The drone will also offer 46 minutes flight time, which is a massive 15 minutes better than its predecessor. The enhanced flight time for the DJI Mavic 3 is due to an improved battery setup in the drone. The DJI Mavic 3 has also been spotted on the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) database indicating its certification and impending release.

The new photos further confirm the sleekness and maneuverability of the Mavic 3 drone. The propellers are now lacking any curves at their tips, all combined with other design changes for an aerodynamically solid drone. This could mean a quieter flight operation and improved efficiency for the Mavic 3.

DJI Mavic 3, Action 2 camera, and RC Pro smart controller certified by US FCC

Jed John Ikoba — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 14:05:08 +0000

Days back, some renders of the DJI Mavic 3 drone revealed a more powerful battery system that will expand its flight time significantly. In an indication that the eventual unveiling of the products is imminent, the Mavic 3 consumer drone and Action 2 waterproof camera have entered the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) database.

The FCC is the clearinghouse for all issues relating to certification and issuance of unique codes to companies to identify wireless products in the market. The rigorous process involves several stages culminating in the issuance of the FCC code. The DJI Mavic 3 drone has an FCC code of SS3-L2P2104. As per the FCC filings, it is likely that two models are on the offing: the L2A, which is the DJI Mavic 3, and the L2P, which refers to DJI Mavic 3 Cine version.

We can confirm the earlier leak as per the battery of the DJI Mavic 3. It is a 15.4 V, 5,000 mAH, 77 Wh battery. Up to 46 minutes of flight time is assured on the Mavic 3, which has some far-reaching implications on its applicability. It will be one of the strong marketing points for the Mavic 3.

DJI Action 2 camera has FCC ID: 2ANDR-MC2112021 and is the latest action camera from DJI. It could be released as early as October 27. The DJI Action 2 camera will possibly come with a 1/1.7-inch CMOS sensor and an aperture of f/2.8, for up to 155-degree wide view. The camera will feature a new modular design and make filming more immersive with an array of accessories. The Action 2 will support a wireless pad although the details are lacking at this time.

The new smart controller also sighted in the FCC database is the RC Pro. It is designed to maximize the functionality of the Mavic 3 or any other compatible drone that is equipped with DJI’s proprietary video transmission system, OcuSync 3.0.

The RC Pro would allow the Mavic 3 to transmit HD video in real-time up to a distance of 15km and is available with the Cine version of the drone.

The DJI Mavic 3 and the RC Pro controller could be launched on November 5.

New images of the DJI Mavic 3 drone leak revealing its battery in greater detail

Jed John Ikoba — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 17:47:44 +0000

DJI’s upcoming Mavic 3 drone has been the subject of much speculation and leaks recently. The scenario is yet to abate as shown in the latest leak of images of the drone showing some fine details of the device. The DJI Mavic 3 is scheduled for release on November 5, as tweeted by the company via its official Twitter handle.

The Mavic 3 is primed to offer overall improvements from its predecessor in terms of video recording capabilities and other important features. The new images show the drone folded and taped onto a tray plate on a tripod, with the blurred outline of a person holding the basic remote controller of the device. The new RC Pro DJI Smart Controller will only be part of the package for the DJI Mavic 3 Cine Premium Combo.

The image of the battery of the DJI Mavic 3 also reveals clearly that it is a massive improvement from its predecessors and will over a greater range for the drone. The battery is loaded from the back of the drone and bears some close semblance with the DJI FPV model. There are four visible LED lights indicating the charge status of the battery and on/off functionality.

The tipster Jasper Ellens via Twitter also states that the new DJI Mavic 3 drone battery is 30% bigger than its predecessor and offers up to 46 minutes in additional flight time for the device. These improvements could be very substantial and will also reflect in the pricing of the DJI Mavic 3. However, we await the official specs outlay for the Mavic 3 series, and these details will be available as we inch closer to the November 5 launch date for the DJI Mavic 3.

DJI announces three launch events at once – DJI Mavic 3 Pro & Action 2 to finally release?

Zohaib Ahmed — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 11:02:58 +0000

DJI on Tuesday announced three separate launch events at once in an unprecedented step. It was a teaser kind of affair with the company only providing information on the events themselves and not what they will be about.

Image: @DJIGlobal on Twitter

The event teaser has been titled ‘Good things come in threes’ and has been posted via DJI’s Twitter handle. It is perhaps the first time we have seen such a company announce three events at once. The first two will be held this month – on October 20 and October 27, while the last of the trio will be held on November 5.

But even without an official word on what the DJI launch event will have in store, we can still speculate on the products that will be launched. Latest rumors have set an October 27 launch date for the DJI Action 2. The camera has a modular design, and given the October 27 image shows connector pins, it is safe to assume that they’re indeed referring to the DJI Action 2.

As for the November 5 launch, it is likely to be the most significant among the three. The DJI Mavic 3 Pro drone was earlier expected to be launched this month but recent reports suggested that the launch had been delayed a bit, making it likely that the November 5 launch has been dedicated to it.

DJI Mavic 3 leaked owner manual

Further, leakster Jasper Ellens had shared his observations on Twitter saying that the third image may have something to do with the battery on the Mavic 3, so there’s that.

Now that the last two events among the trio have been tackled, the first one stands out like a sole thumb. Unfortunately, there’s no telling what it is referring to. It is indeed obvious that the symbol stands for ‘record’, but it doesn’t exactly help pinpoint a particular product from DJI’s portfolio.

TechRadar speculates that it could be a product related to the DJI OM 5 smartphone gimbal or perhaps the DJI Pocket 2. It could even be a more professional DJI camera, like the one leaked by DJI leakster @OsitaLV in August.

Regardless, it is only a week-long wait for the first DJI launch event, so we should come to know what it is about soon enough.

DJI Mavic 3 owner’s manual leak revealing key details, tipped to launch November 15

Jed John Ikoba — Fri, 24 Sep 2021 20:05:45 +0000

Several leaks about the yet-to-be-released DJI Mavic 3 drone detail a few improvements from its predecessor. The new and improved Mavic 3, according to the leaks, comes with a substantially improved camera and a longer flight time of 46 minutes. The two cameras include a telephoto lens, as well as another with a larger sensor. These features could be a boon for cinematographers and photographers who are engaged in aerial shots.

— Jasper Ellens – 27 Leaks (@JasperEllens) September 23, 2021

Although there is no official confirmation as of now, on the Mavic 3, the new model could combine some of the camera functionalities of both the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom. The Mavic 3 offers both a larger four-thirds sensor and a 24-48mm equivalent zoom on the same drone, which is impressive. The presence of a four-thirds sensor allows for extra detail and a more cinematic display, as well as a longer flight time. This innovative two-in-one drone has now brought greater accessibility and possibly, affordability in shooting panoramic videos and still pictures, thus establishing its versatility.

While the full details about pricing are lacking from the leaks, we could expect the DJI Mavic 3 to be priced higher than its predecessor, due to its greater functionality and features. Furthermore, the drone also offers direct USB-C charging, as there is no need to remove the battery to charge externally. There is a marginal increase in the weight of the Mavic 3 Pro (weighs about 920g), but its flight time is fifteen minutes more than what is obtained with the Mavic 2.

Two models, as per the leaks will be available under the Mavic 3 banner – a Pro and a Cine Model. The Cine model is priced at around $2,600 and will come with more enhanced functionality than the Pro model. Faster transfers will be achieved with the signature model, together with a new version of the DJI Smart Controller. The Smart Controller will allow video transmission over 15km, which is a 5km improvement from the Mavic 3 Pro.

DJI Mavic 3 renders showcase the upcoming drone’s design and dual Hasselblad cameras

Jeet — Fri, 10 Sep 2021 09:07:08 +0000

DJI, the Chinese company known globally for its drones, has a lineup of small drones under the Mavic branding. Now, the company is working on the next-generation model which is reportedly called DJI Mavic 3.

The upcoming product’s design was leaked last month and now renders of the DJI Mavic 3 have surfaced online. The renders come via DroneDJ which is citing a trusted source in China and claims it to be close to the real product.

The renders reveal that the arms are thinner but other aspects of the product, including the rear-loading battery, are in line with the previous leaks. The camera module portion shows Hasselblad branding which matches last month’s leak.

The previous leak claimed that the DJI Mavic 3 will come with two camera sensors. The main camera will be able to shoot videos in up to 5.7K resolution while the secondary sensor will offer 7x optical zoom support.

It is also expected to come packed with 1TB of internal storage and powered by a 6,00mAh battery. Not much is known about the device at this time but we expect to know more in the coming days or weeks.

As for the availability, there are contradicting details. While a report claims that the product could get launched in October or November, another report claims that the launch has been delayed until January 2022. Given that the company has stopped production of DJI Mavic 2 Pro, it’s likely that the new model will get launched in a month or two.

DJI Mavic 3 leak gives us a look at the design, key specs in tow

Jed John Ikoba — Sun, 29 Aug 2021 23:35:31 +0000

A new leak has illuminated some grey areas in the yet-to-be-released DJI Mavic 3 (or possibly Mavic Pro 3) drone. There has been a buildup of expectations for the latest drone that may come from DJI on its design, looks, and features. Much was not known previously of the gadget, but thanks to a new leak, we can say a few more stuff about the machine.

The leak was credited to Brazilian sources and provided an illustration of the next-generation DJI Mavic 3 drone, with several other specs. The drone could feature a new collision avoidance system that is meant to enhance its overall maneuverability. It will also have more powerful adaptive cameras and zoom systems. The front and rear sensors have been positioned to enhance effectiveness, while the side sensors have all been removed. The machine has 1TB of memory, it is capable of being airborne for up to 40 minutes, and could come with up to 6000mAh battery.

The drone’s gimbal now has an integrated automatic look, although we are not certain whether the acrylic protector will be retained. Importantly too, a new smart controller will come with the drone to enhance its operations. It is believed that the gimbal will feature a new automatic locking mechanism that is activated when the drone is turned off, which is a clear departure from the current scenario requiring a manual adjustment.

The illustrations released also show a very sleek machine which could be significantly different from its predecessor the DJI Mavic 2, released back in 2018. There could be at least two versions of the new drone, possibly a base version (the DJI Mavic 3) and a higher version, the Mavic 3 Pro, possibly.

While no official remark has been received by DJI at this time, the tipster also projects that the DJI Mavic 3 series will be released in October. There were no indications of the possible pricing details of the drone yet.
