Because of that, I am now recommending the DJI Mavic Pro.

That said, the biggest reason that the Mavic Pro lost is because we thought the camera was trash, and further testing has revealed that it certainly isn't that. It has a wider dynamic range, colors are better, and it automatically adjusts to changing conditions nicely. Ultimately, I still prefer the Hero5 Camera on the GoPro Karma. Considering tapping to focus is absolutely mandatory to get a good shot, you'd think that would be the first thing DJI would tell you absolutely must do. Nor was there any pop-up explainer on the remote control.

The word "focus" does not appear at all in the Quick Start guide, and the only mention of it is in passing on page 42 of the full User Manual, and even then it isn't explained. Also, you shouldn't have to tap to focus in order to get usable footage.ĭJI didn't tell us about the feature. Sometimes you want everything to be nicely focused, and that wasn't something I was able to achieve with the Mavic. Focus on the foreground and the horizon will be blurry. If you focus on the horizon then objects close up look like tiny toys (almost like a tilt-shift effect). That said, the camera has a very shallow depth of field which makes it impossible to get everything in focus. Also, it's good that you can achieve some cool, cinematic shots by playing with the focus. This means that the camera isn't absolute garbage, like I initially thought it was. When you do the thing you tapped will generally come into nice, sharp focus.

With the Mavic Pro you have to adjust the focus by manually tapping on a point on your phone or tablet's screen. All of DJI's previous drones will simply auto adjust focus as you fly. Unlike any previous DJI drone, the Mavic Pro has a new tap-to-focus feature. In short, we are changing our pick to recommend the DJI Mavic Pro. We were far from the only reviewers to do so, but still, wrong is wrong. No price tag has been leaked for this accessory, but the current DJI Smart Controller costs $750.Update, November 4, 2016: We got this wrong. There is also a new Android-powered Smart Controller V2 with the latest OcuSync video transmission tech for real-time HD video feedback up to a distance of 15 km.

The leak is thinner when it comes to software but does mention the standard proprietary features like HyperLapse, ActiveTrack, Panorama, and more.Īccording to DroneDJ, the DJI Mavic 3 Pro is expected to start at $1,599, with the “Cine” model possibly costing $1,000 more. The most notable is a “Cine” model that has a built-in SSD and comes with a 1 Gbps Lightspeed Data Cable, among other things.

Just like before, DJI is expected to come out with different models or combos. This time, you don’t need to recharge the battery separately, as the Mavic 3 Pro seems to support direct USB-C charging. That’s despite the increased weight of 920 grams, up from the Mavic 2 Pro’s 907g. The drone’s advertised flight time has also seen a dramatic increase, now up to 46 minutes under optical conditions. The obstacle avoidance sensors may not have been upgraded, but they have been relocated to the corners for a better view of the drone’s surroundings.

Right off the bat, you have two cameras, wide-angle and telephoto, capable of 5.2K video recording and 20MP still photos. Given the time gap between the Mavic 2 Pro and this upcoming Mavic 3 Pro, it’s not surprising to see changes and upgrades across the board.
