DJI Mavic 3 Classic is a folding, professional imaging drone built around a Hasselblad L2D-20c camera with a large 4/3 CMOS sensor. It records up to 5.1K/50fps and 4K/120fps with 10‑bit D‑Log/D‑Log M/HLG profiles, captures 20MP stills in 12‑bit RAW with up to 12.8 stops of dynamic range, and features 46‑minute max flight time, O3+ video transmission up to 15 km with 1080p/60 live view, omnidirectional obstacle sensing with APAS 5.0, and Advanced RTH. It’s compatible with DJI RC‑N1, DJI RC, and DJI RC Pro controllers, bringing the core Mavic 3 imaging experience to more creators. (dji.com)
Selling Points
Large 4/3‑type Hasselblad sensor delivers excellent image quality, 12‑bit RAW stills, and natural color via HNCS. (dji.com)
Professional video formats and rates up to 5.1K/50 and 4K/120 enable cinematic capture and slow motion. (dji.com)
Long 46‑minute max flight time for extended shooting windows. (dji.com)
Robust O3+ transmission with up to 15 km range and 1080p/60 live view for low‑latency monitoring. (dji.com)
Omnidirectional obstacle sensing with APAS 5.0 and Advanced RTH enhances flight safety. (dji.com)
Compatible with DJI RC‑N1, DJI RC, and DJI RC Pro; uses the same batteries as the Mavic 3 Series, easing upgrades for existing users. (dji.com)
Night Shots mode reduces noise for cleaner low‑light video; QuickTransfer (Wi‑Fi 6) accelerates offloading. (dji.com)
Drawbacks
No secondary telephoto camera like the original Mavic 3/3 Pro—Classic uses a single wide camera. (dji.com)
No Apple ProRes recording or internal SSD (features reserved for Cine variants). (techradar.com)
895 g takeoff weight makes it larger/heavier than sub‑250 g travel drones. (dji.com)
Electronic shutter only; no mechanical shutter option for specialized mapping workflows. (dji.com)
