Mavic 3 Drama Summarized and My Opinion Changing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лип 2024
- Lots of weirdness on the Mavic 3 launch, loudest voices being the angriest when in reality most people are using it even with unfinished features and app
My opinion is changing pretty quickly about it, i'm getting attached heartemoji.jpg but I ALSO think that's because I just hate having to haul around the inspire 2 in all of its madness.
Prores vs. H.265 don't worry about it, you won't notice a difference. For 95% of people i'm really suggesting you get a Mavic 3 regular.
ALSO DJI announced in January they will have a new combo with regular Mavic 3 and RC Pro controller as well so maybe hang around for that.
I didn't like spending so much on a smart controller before, but this one has made me change my mind. Makes the experience MUCH much better. - Фільми й анімація

I hope this doesn't get made fun of online
That was actually totally funny!!
I, for one, am super happy that I got an Air 2S for the price I did. It’s an incredible platform.
Love your no bullshit reviews and advice.
Getting a Air 2 s next week ;-)
@@jetrex1986 They have a really great punch for the price. The Mavic 3 blows it away on image quality, but so does the price 😥
@@VictoryAviation I was going to replace my Air 2S with a Mavic 3 but then I thought it's not really worth it at the moment.
@@ShottaIbby Depends on why you want to purchase it/what your goals are. It certainly has a superior camera/lens system. But unless you’re doing higher detail editing with UHD video while keeping the depth (colors, shadows, etc) as full as it can be, it’s probably not going to be worth it.
While the 2S might be a great, maybe even awesome deal, the fixed aperture is a deal breaker for me.
Hey, just discovered your channel while working on my education for my part 107, and Im a definitely a new fan. Your work is a breath of fresh air, its straight to the point, and easy to listen to. Thank you.
QOTY “The drone community has a lot of astronomers and not a lot of astronauts.”
No doubt…the most underrated channel on YT
Your detailed content, crisp presentation, wry humor, and excellent editing deserve more views and subscribers. Please don't stop making videos. Ever.
This was one of the greatest videos I have seen in a while! Great job on summarizing all that.
Spot on, say its bad and get a lot of views without even owning or flying it. Everyone I know who has one, likes it and looks forward to Jan firmware. Good video glad someone agrees with me
A lot of Mavic 3 especially Mavic 3 cine owners are disappointed go watch some videos of them (and they do own the Drone) speaking of how much of a disappointed of a drone this is and some returning it.
Come DJI is kidding with us they released a 2, 200$ drone with the same controller with the 400$ Drone mini 2. With the same APP and no dedicated wheel on the controller to control the aperture like all the professional drones and cameras have.
The only thing that it has is a great camera nothing else!
No matter how much their drones cost we run and buy them.
You made me giggle, a lot, in a good way.
I appreciate your input and experience.
Subscribed! Perfect analysis and I appreciate you easing some of my worries about the issues I've been having with my Mavic 3. Been able to keep her safe for almost 50 flights but that drifting and flyaways keep you on your toes.
Thanks for your review, Alex! This was informative and helpful. I also took your A to Z course through DLA and have seen a drastic change in my completed product so thank you for that as well. I am definitely getting the Mavic 3 in January!
Love your videos! You’re so truthful and to the point! Keep up the awesome work
Between you & Phillip Bloom. You two always provide the most objective and informative data on these drones and I really appreciate it.
Ahhhh,, I was searching everywhere for you.. Thank you for creating this channel
Now with the Mini 3 Pro, what drone would you go for if you had to pick one of these two?
Have you attempted a hyperlapse with the timed shot feature that is available? I've gotten close to creating something I would publish but not there yet. I throw it in Cine mode and put the focus mark on a target. I then keep my speed as consistent as I can and focus on keeping the target in the square. I came up with a few decent runs with it, however I have just ended up playing around with the video and flying at night. Wow this is incredible in low light.
I just stumbled across your channel and immediately was hooked so I subscribed, you don't dribble 💩 and straight to the point, I really dig that.
🍻🇦🇺
I agree with everything you said .. I also bought the cine version and am incredibly happy with it .. I got some insane waterfall shots first time using it .. the picture quality is 👌🏽 .. and it’s worth every dollar I paid for it .. no complaints 😊
Would you mind making a video touching on the pro controller? I'm strongly considering getting it. Also is the advanced gimbal settings only on the mavic 3 cine? I can't find them on my mavic 3 settings. Or is it settings found specifically in cinematic mode on the flight style? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks in advance!
Great video! Interesting the normal mode is better color. Do you find the image quality to be better 5k/24p vs 5k/50fps?
Have you indepth compared pro-res vs h265?
RED is notorious for a non finished product but we happily pay for it.
Really? pray tell more sir.
Excellent video as usual. So do you recommend the cine over the non? Sounds like you can’t really tell a difference? And is the internal SSD that helpful?
I love that this video carries the info we need but the humor of a show like “The Office”
I appreciate your review, actually still flying my Phantom 4 Pro because I haven't been impressed with any Mavic cameras until the Air 2S came out, now Mavic 3. $1,000 difference isn't really an issue with me, but in reality, if you're mainly shooting photos, is there that big of a difference between the Air 2S and the Mavic 3 to justify $1000 difference? I use it commercially as I have my part 107 mainly for commercial real estate.
6:43 lmao the girl screaming sums up flying a large drone in public perfectly
Nice review. Keep up the great work. I saw you had a smaller bag to carry your M3. Which company makes those?
Nice captures of Scottsdale. I’m moving there in a couple months 🙌🏻
How’s the non removable SSD workflow for a professional? Do you think you’ll need to get a second drone?
Really like your delivery. Great video as usual. 👍🏿
what would you say are the pro's and cons of the RC Pro?
I have wondered about getting it. I don't need or want the cine model for what I film but the controller seems like something that could make the experience potentially better (or worse).
Agree with everything you said. Very happy with mine. Waiting a few months for the software to catch up is not a big deal to me.
Thanks for an excellent rundown!
This review is exactly how I feel too, 7min 40 (green spot in flare) have you managed to work out best ways of filming sunset without it? only appeared in one sunset shot of yours. Such a spot on review in all areas
Last line is gold haha! Great content as always!
6:43 .. the little girl screaming just about says it all for the DJI Inspire … 😂
Ball & Gag comment is why I have subscribed. Stayed for the proper reasoning on DJI's behalf. I love my M3C too. Just next level... And a tax write off, so who cares. Basically the same price as my Canon R5 without a lens...
No ball gag. This is the information I was looking for. Thank you.
LOL top notch review with funny jabs. 10/10 will share with buddies in the drone world.
Appreciate your content so much man. Thank you.
Nice, good explain about this expensive drone!
Congratulations from Brasil 🇧🇷
Did your drifting incident occur over water during a bright sunset? That’s when I had this issue. I suspect it’s the bright reflection interfering with the sensors.
yes it did, and only then. Other people have said the drone yanks to a stop when flying over water because the sensors are too sensitive over waves
Yep, I'm completely smitten with with my mavic 3 unfortunately I couldn't quite swing the 5k for the "cine", but being a student of yours first thing I wanted to know was, " what's alex shooting in"? And where is the option to dial back contrast
This confirms the drifting and no response to input issues I have heard reported in three crash videos involving M3. Early buyers should not expect full capabilities and some actual control issues...??? Feeling better about controlling my impulse to put a hole in my bank account.
December 2021. Which drone would you recommend for someone who wants one as a hobby. Just for general use when out walking and travelling? Thanks
Air 2S hands down, it does everything really well BUT if you want something smaller the Mini 2 is half the price and still does great even with less quality
Thank you for getting right to the pint on your video Alex!
Great review! Thank You! I look forward to the day when I can afford to upgrade.
I'm still relatively new using a drone. I notice your videos were shot at 24 fps. I watch many other videos from drone experts and will hear they shoot at 60 fps, or at least 30 fps. Is 24 fps generally what you like to shoot at? Thanks for the vid, very helpful and informative!
Always 24fps, It just feels smoother and that’s what everything in film is shot on as well.
With 60fps it also means less data per frame because the data rate Is still the same, it just has more frames to cover it inside of each second.
I guess now it doesn’t make as much of a difference anyway
But for 60fps for slow motion, I never need to slow my footage down, if anything I have to speed my footage up sometimes
It looks a little more local-news to me as well, less cinematic. It’s also become a point of measurement just because it’s there and not because it’s realistically applicable (in some peoples reviews)
You've said more here in 10 minutes than I have heard all year. A true professional. Still out of my price range but thanks.
The bondage strap! Love that and yes it is awesome! Great video!!
10:24 "...the best camera is the one you have with you...", priceless Chase Jarvis assert! Thank you for your rendering!
Spot on!! Almost everything you said was on point. People often get carried away with excitement for their 'new toy' then later when they calm down start to find fault. Very few people 'need' this as opposed to 'want' so any haste to have it is unwarranted.
"Bondage Strap". I was eating a sandwich when you said that and lost it. I currently have an Inspire 2 and a Mavic 2 Pro and I'm exhausted taking the Inspire 2 to different locations as it's not portable and the flight time of 20 minutes and crappy range has got me looking hard at the Mavic 3. Great content as always as you get right to the point. New Sub
How do you access hdr? I can’t seem to find it. Thanks!
One of the best gripe/non gripe videos. I wish they had an HQ view as well. Best to wait until January when its out of beta testing.
I love the Cine, it's people desperate for views. I have actually unsubbed to 3 different channels piggy backing on the hysteria, but subbed to yours for calling it out. I shoot with drones 3-4 times a week and have logged well over 500 miles on my previous 2 Mavic 2 Pros. There are a lot of posers out there speaking like they have a ton of experience and really they wouldn't know a decent drone if it hit them in the face. Think about what was happening less than 10 years ago... Remember the Phantom 2? You buy this bad ass drone, strap your favorite GoPro to it, fire it up, calibrate the compass, wait for satellites and then watch as it promptly takes off on it's own and flies back to China with your favorite GoPro. Ok, ok, it did not fly back to China but seriously that was the common joke in the DJI Forums at that time. A half kidding conspiracy we were throwing around to make light of our frustrations.
I don't know where you are located but if by chance you are in or around SoCal, I'd love to collaborate given the opportunity. Other than that keep it up brother, great stuff.
Nailed on the head, straight to it, thanks for another reality vid. I’m saving for this drone (the 3) but tbh honest my Air 2S is soooo good at most things, such great value.
Any chance of an Air2s vs M3 video in January?
Love the low key concise no bullish!t videos.
P.S. -Would love to see a Gerald Undone crossover!
Little help. So I guess if it drifts hit the pause til it gets back on track? am I right?
That flat, dry humor though hahaha great video dude. You always make quality content
The amount of innuendo in this video is next level
Great review! Simple, informative, fast-paced, and I agree with everything you said (from M3 user’s perspective)
So is it worth buying now or wait til firmware update?
Brilliant, as always.
The gaining altitude is ghosting on the bottom OA sensors in bypass mode. It see's 200 meter vs 20 on M2P. You can actually see the yellow radar on screen when your 100 feet or more above the "obstacles" trees, ground etc. & you get the alert sound. I'm on Drone #2 , still happens.
Ok dude so 1: More content please 2: You're total crack up and I love that deadpan humour! 3: More content please. Heartemoji.
Great job summarising what is good and not so good. Appreciated and from your video if I had a need for this machine I would order one.
I'm torn now air2s or Autel new Lite Plus please help....!
Haha “Ball Gag”… and subscribed, hilarious.
Great review! I went from the Mavic 2 to the air 2s to get 50/60fps which is plenty for my needs. Hopefully they can sort the quirks in the firmware.
Great video - best one - was getting frustrated.
All questions summarised and answered.
We are in January though - any changes? Pull the trigger.
I have been told Thats the lens is too big and does not move well on the x axis - side to side.
I’m currently stuck between Mavic 3, 2 or air 2 S
This is going to be our first drone but we are shooting real estate and events so might as well get the best one.
Thanks.
Great objective video. I'm amazed by the shadows I can bring out in post on just H.265 and their Natural color profile... not even messing about in D-Log as you note. And yeah, I also struggle changing aperture, iso, etc in the app, too small for sure so you aren't alone. I do love the 'grab and go of the Cine and RC Pro though... it's just a hefty price for convenience.
The answer is simple, UA-camrs buy it to make an early review. Then they decide they need another exciting video so fly it through dense tree's and post "wtf, my drone crashed!" and then finally the last big hit video is "Why I'm returning my drone". Rinse & Repeat :)
This is very refreshing to watch. I dont get people being mad without even having the drone or getting to fly it.
Thanks Alex for the review. Im I’m trying to decide whether I should get the cinema version. I currently own the Mavic 2 Pro. I’m a hobbyists who is transitioning to professional work.
Great review!!! And knew this was suppose to be the Evo of DJI for this size of drone.
LMAO "i looked everywhere and i couldnt find the ball gag" 😭
Great presentation!
I have an air 2s but need to outgrow it first before getting a mavic 3, they'll get the bugs worked out
Always keeping it real! loved this vid & what you had to say!
Great video, waiting for your update video on the January update.
Nice little review, I do real estate photography and a little dab of video here and there so I'm happy with my Mav 2 Pro - your jokes made me laugh - cheers from New Zealand! 👍
I like this video a lot. Very informative
Fantastic view 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I love my Mavic 3 even before the updates 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
now every features been unlocked..kindly do a video like you did for dji mini 2 settings checklist
I appreciate your positive review rather than band wagon dumpster fires.
Bought the air2s and happy with it. Will be my workhorse for a few years before I can see what the mavik 4 will do.
Great review-thank you.
I agree that the Air 2S is great value. I do feel like DJI have a really amazing platform here, but they need to put the power in the people's hands in regards to the app and allowing us to customise more things. The customisability of the Go 4 app was much better. I do plan on getting a 3 eventually, just waiting to see what they can change in the Fly app first, also not going to buy it until the regular Mavic 3 can be paired with the RC Pro as a purchasing choice.
Basically awaiting to see if they can make the software and firmware match the quality of the hardware. The second camera is the only thing you can question about the hardware, wasted space that could have been used for a better quality shorter focal length, or just have the one camera. They need to allow a shortcut tap to focus button, fix the second camera, and add app controls to make it feel more pro.
They're missing sales at the moment.
I am reserving my overall opinion until after the first major firmware update. But from what little I've flown the Mavic 3; I like the feel and the quality of photos so far.
What are you a dji sponsor!!
Very cogent analysis. I am still not thrilled with my M3 at this time, but I agree that waiting is not the end of the world.
Thanks for the video! Looks like yours has the uneven horizon too that I’ve heard others complaining about. Hope that is addressed in the updates.
Yeah that’s 50/50 sometimes I get it sometimes I don’t, annoying but It’s bound to be fixed since every other drone from them works fine. Small crop and adjustment in editing fixes it for now
@@QuickAssTutorials Exactly. I always check the horizon in editing regardless of issues. It's habit at this point.
Subbed. I love the common sense. So many weirdos and lack of critical thinking these days. Great video
Absolutely Spot on about price. People have short memories. 20 years ago some people spent £800 on a 2.1mp compact that look 4x AA batteries that lasted no time at all.
They have rushed it out, the panoramic feature is what I bought it for, but I can wait another month.
For a while I was swayed by all the criticisms but coming across honest reviews like yours, Im actually seeing more good than bad about this drone.
About the price:
Everything you said it’s true, problem is the Mavic line was pretty well known for being affordable and very powerful for its price.
Maybe they should have name this drone Inspire Mini and people would have not complain.
Bad marketing I’d say because for a Mavic line drone, yes, I still think it’s overpriced.
Inspire mini would have fixed a LOT of the fuss with this one, but would have also chopped sales in half
Looking at it that way makes me feel a lot better in general actually
Yo your shit is awsome and your great
I’m with KLRSKIR’ comments. Good review & I go along with your comments too. I’ve just subscribed & 👍
I think your review is the most reasonable I have heard. I entirely agree in that the Mavic 3 is not overpriced. The same week I got my Mavic 3, I also got a new Sony A7iv camera. That camera body alone cost more than the Mavic 3 - and I have a first class camera with lens that flies!
Great episode !!!
I love how you said “feels more like a Mini 3 Pro” haha. Then they actually release one.
