The new DJI Mavic 3 Pro features the same body as existing DJI Mavic 3 series drones, but it brings a new larger gimbal-stabilized camera unit with three cameras – a main 24mm (equiv.) MFT Hasselblad camera, a medium telephoto 70mm camera, and a telephoto 166mm camera which got an upgraded f/3.4 lens. With a takeoff weight of slightly over 900g, the Mavic 3 Pro can fly for up to 43 minutes. Among the new features is the new “slightly less flat” D-Log M color profile, and ND filters with balanced strengths. There is also a Cine version of the Mavic 3 Pro with 1 TB built-in SSD and the ability to record ProRes 422 from all three cameras. The Mavic 3 Pro drones are now available for pre-order in various kits (including one with the DJI RC Pro) from $2,199 with shipping starting in May 2023.
