From its 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad Camera and 28x Hybrid Zoom Camera, to its omnidirectional obstacle sensors with a maximum 200-meter range, to its redesigned batteries that provide up to 46 minutes of flight time, the Mavic 3 provides unprecedented flight performance and a peerless content creation experience. Its upgraded hardware and software can process 5.1K video at 50 frames per second in supple and nuanced color with heightened low-light sensitivity. It also supports 4K/120fps for higher-quality results for slow-motion footage. An enhanced Mavic 3 Cine Edition offers Apple ProRes 422 HQ encoding for richer video processing, with an internal 1TB SSD onboard for high-speed data storage. To put it in layman’s terms, this drone rocks. The DJI Mavic 3 starts at $2,199; while the $4,999 Cine turns users into instant airborne filmmakers; DJI.com.
