DJI Mavic 3 Classic Review - The Real M2P Successor Drone
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 лип 2024
- DJI Mavic 3 Classic has just released Nov. 2 2022, I can confirm after using myself that it is the same quality, same camera and mostly everything good minus the zoom lens. Here's a drone review to save everybody time:
Yes it has the zoom lens removed
No it isn't using a worse camera
No Aperture hasn't been removed
Yes it uses the same Mavic 3 batteries, Same props, Same body, Same everything except the ND Filters
Yes, there are new features: Night Mode, Hyperlapse preview, a DJI RC option when buying
5.1k H.265 footage, no internal hard drive (except for small 8gb)
Hasselblad 4/3" sensor f2.8
4K 60fps
10-bit D-Log
20mp photos
Omni Directional Obstacle Avoidance
Hyperlapse (now with preview)
Active Track
46 minute flight time
Same body and weight (895g)
Most important to me was that the firmware and color profile look and feel like the Mavic 3 before, and yes it is still all there. Really well working exposure balancing in the software while filming, and I can't believe I'm saying this but I really love that HDR thing whatever it is doing, it gives the Mavic 3 a rich and distinct look.
Night mode was a great idea to add without having to harm the current profile for normal filming. The color profile and ISO didn't translate well to night time filming, so with this Night Mode, black point, noise containment, and sensitivity to bright spots makes it look much cleaner, very vibrant for filming at such low-light. SUPER happy with this and hope all drones get it soon.
This feels like the natural successor to the Mavic 2 pro, the drone we were all anticipating in 2021. The Mavic 3 was a big leap in quality, features, and price. This should satisfy everybody who was waiting around for a $1700ish drone and still wanted a manual aperture. Rejoice mortals.
$1469 USD Drone Only
$1599 USD Drone Only
$1749 USD Smart Remote included
$649 USD Fly More Kit
$129 ND Filters

Just get a second battery and ND filters and you'll be fine. REALLY suggest the DJI RC smart remote too, wildly helpful to the experience.

Great review. Strait forward, no fluff and to the point. You have made it very hard for me not to make the move. Cheers!
Oh my lord I fell over again. Did everyone hear the word train and missed it?
Thanks Alex! Been watching your awesome, super informative no-nonsense videos. You know your stuff. I just finished ordering my Mavic 3 Classic. I'm going to look into your course. Thanks again.
I absolutely love your no-nonsense approach to reviews. Best ending to a video every, 'go away'. Never Change!
“That’s the end… go away!”” 🤣🤣🤣
Mf made me chuckle!
@@AleksworxFPV me too
Me three
Was thinking the same 😆
same
You're the only person on UA-cam that I'll watch reviews from, start to finish, no matter how long the video is.
Man, I always have to watch your vids multiple times to digest all the great info. Awesome. I just pre-ordered my Classic today, only the drone since I already have Mavic 3 and RC Pro, and all the other drones I have. Yeah I’m addicted.
wtf man. I am struggling with the best way to finance the M3C with installment payments. Already sold my M2pro last year.
you are by first the best youtuber, no ads no hit the subscribe button, and a go away at the end,,,, PERFECT ! love ya dude
The reviewer i was waiting for anything drone related. so glad u got the early review bro.
Dude..
I love all your work.
From the filming to the writing to the courses..
You're a true maestro - virtuoso.
Thank you Sifu.
Oml! The bar is pretty low …the video is literally about nothing. Same drone they removed the telephone bc and I know this dough head said different but they took it out bc it was a useless gimmick …and night mode LOL Oml
This is worse then the guy who sells bumpers for a drone (Avata) that doesn’t need them , at all, it’s too heavy and under powered already . I’ve hit a wall full throttle no bumpers , no dents …add weight to go slower lol sooo funny
@@No_1_really_ 10thirty's source "trust me bro"
@@QuickAssTutorials no source lol why do I need a source. I am the source. I build them fly them own them ; the Mav 3 the Avata 3,5,7” quads ect ect and have many years of experience.
No “bro” no source.
Will not trust the “so called” sources . First thing I learned.
Besides. I didn’t say the video was bad. It’s very well polished. What I said was it could have been summed up in one simple sentence. it just perplexed me to see how you could stretch it out that long…but to make a whole video, that’s an art form.
See, so it’s actually a compliment if you dig a little ;)
@@QuickAssTutorials how good is the mavic 3 telephoto lens these days? did it improve from the 4k 30p garbage? Debating mavic 3 vs the mavic 3 classic
Love your videos, great content, unbiased opinions and awesome advice. Bought your course, it's fantastic, I am learning a lot.
Love your reviews extremely informative & with enough detail! Superb thanks! 👍
Love your vids! Riveting, informative & comical! Yet nothing is missed, absolutely spot on! Well done 👍👍👍❤️❤️👏👏👏
Most helpful explanations into the world of drones! Thank you
great review, as always :) thanks
I love your no BS attitude. I've watched tons of videos on drones and yours always speak simple and realistic truth. Keep being awesome.
Well, I blaming your channel for making me purchase the Classic, can’t wait for it to arrive. Your videos are awesome!
Missed your videos man! Thanks for the upload!
Great video as always. I have this drone for work, & it does everything I need it to. I just got the DJI ND Filters, & a Freewell CP Filter. Looking forward to getting more great footage & pix.
A fantastic, concise review of the new Mavic 3 Classic. I think the new Night Mode and cruise control features will be added to the Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine at least since the sensor is congruent across the Mavic 3 range.
Best mavic 3 classic I have seen so far.
Thank you!!
Great review here and for the Mini 3 Pro, and I got to crack up a few times too. I appreciate the really concise info - it definitely helps me with my decision. Thank you.
Spot on review! This is the Mavic 3 that I was hoping to see on the drone launch last year! I sure like the telephoto lens but if I could have the 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad camera at a cheaper price though at the expense of the 2nd camera, then I'm all for it!
Great no BS review. Very informative and concise with good information without self aggrandizement. I had to search to find out his name in fact(Alex). As a professional photographer, It's obvious he's been an experienced photographer for a while, pre-drone probably) based on his content and quality of images and videos. He packs a lot of information quickly with precision and no fluff. Again great review and great presentation as always.
Great information. Thanks! Mine is on the way. I have had 4 drones now and I still have my Mavic 2 Pro but couldn't resist upgrading. I do mostly my own photography but also a little real estate.
Awesome review(as always) packed with information. I do have one question though, regarding the RTH feature. Is there a way of the drone returning to the controller automatically wherever you happen to be, or does it only return to the initial point of origin without having to re-establish the RTH?
Thank you very much for your comprehensive and complete explanation.
It was very useful because I am researching to buy. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sometimes you need someone to get motivated to buy things or do things and your video did both. Thank You 💜 Gonna buy it soon 💜
I've been flying a friend's Air2s while I decide what drone I will by for myself and yes, not having aperture control is annoying as it is challenging to keep the exposure level constant without changing the shutter speed or ISO. I'm having to switch between ND16 and ND32 filters yet can't get a consistant sweet spot of 1/60 shutter speed when shooting 30fps.
After watching this review Im leaning towards buying this Mavic 3 classic.
Thanks for your review and your course
These videos feel like a pleasant version of a hit and run. This is a good thing.
Finally. The only Mavic 3 Classic review that matters.
Wow, @8:30, such a huge difference in the sky area. Major difference in noise. Thanks for doing this comparison!
Great review. 'Otherwise that's the end... go away.' Hilarious. :) Have loved the course by the way. Great purchase.
Every time I see more of these videos I get more and more jagged that I just bought the DJI Mavic 3 Classic. I hope I get it tomorrow like the shipping says! I am going to have so much fun with this and the jobs I could do with this, is going to be insane!
Thanks, loved the review!
Love your videos. I would love to see a video from you on what you use for media storage. How much of your footage do you keep? Do you just edit it and keep final edits or certain clips? Do you save your D-Log footage for flexibility in future projects? What kinds of projects are worth shooting in ProRes vs when is the file size not worth it? What kind of storage devices do you use for all of this?
great review of mavic 3 classic. impressive drone for low light and hyperlapse
Awesome concise and useful. Wondering about built-in remote ID and really missing a zoom feature for inspections unless I'm missing something. Thanks as usual!
Thanks🙏for being an active fan send a direct message👆you have been selected among my ongoing giveaway
Great review!
The new Mavic 3 classic looks amazing, and at lower price point than the Mavic 3 Standard. Great overview of the differences between the two drones. Thanks for sharing.
"That's the end, Go, Away." Subscribed :')!!
I’m gone. Thanks for the review, you answered all my questions.
The best M3C review! 👋👋👋
This video is exactly what I needed to get the scoop on this new release. Thank you lol. What are your thoughts on the DJI RC vs the RC Pro? Do you have a video on that?
Great vid, do u know if it will be compatible with the original smart controller ?
For commercial jobs…are you using the Inspire 2 or have you even been able to use the Mavic 3 Cine? This is assuming you don’t need dual op and longer lens. Wondering just how often you have used the ProRes on the M3 Cine. Thanks! Wonderful videos.
Best ending! lol love it
Great review too
Thanks. That was a nice short synopsis of the Mavic 3. I have the Mavic 2 pro and might replace it next year.
"That's the end. Go away." Love it. And I'm gonna buy it. 🙂
I have two great quotes, one for the M3 and one for the M3 Classic ($450 apart) would you stretch for the M3 for the Telephoto Lens or is it not worth it in your experience with the drone? Also, as it’s pretty old, is there a replacement on the horizon? Thanks 🙏🏻 oh, what’s the actual flight time you got with the Classic?
Waiting for my Mavic 3 Classic to arrive soon !
Great video! Do you think 3x zoom is acceptable for use on social media?
The new modes (night mode, cruise control etc) is available on the mavic 3 pro via the latest update. So same firmware too.
Thanks Alex - I have a Mini 2 and was thinking about getting a Mini 3, so am glad I didn't get it now as I think getting this with my Mini 2 is by far the best combo to have - what do you think?
Great review, fast short and prompt to the point!
Looking forward to upgrading, I am long due for an upgrade,
I still have the mini 2! Lol… i was gn get the mini pro… 3 but now this one came in 😏 decisions
Way Points & TapFly Free are game changers in videography. The latter is enabling to lock-in an ascending straight line trajectory & then rotate the drone 180 with gimbal flipped vertically down & having set a slow speed (eg 1 m/s); you can now slowly tilt up. Unfaltering tilt-reveal!
Been playing with the M3 Classic with the new RC since yesterday. This thing is pretty sweet compared to my mini2, I love the built in screen on the controller, plus all the obstacle avoidance with the classic. The filght time on the classic is awesome to me, definitely gonna need another battery as one won't cut it.
I had to run though Best Buy for my Classic and Fly More Kit. Now I have a year to pay them completely without the worry about additional charges and this makes it amazingly affordable for me at this time. Wish I had $3 Grand just sitting around when I need it. I guess this "Rich Guy" didn't manage his minimum wage properly?
I love the "Angry Face" icon! It cracks me up!
Alex, can you give any advice as to your fine tuning of your settings??? What you think is best? Many thanks! 👍👍👍
They had to release the Mavic 3 classic + DJI RC pack right around the holidays because that's the combo most pilots are exactly wishing for!
great review pal. Watched 3 times.
Best drone reviewer!
Like Your Review..Thanks
Love your reviews, like everybody else here.
Have an Air 2S. Might buy this one. I blame you.
For a photographer trying to decide on their first Dji drone..which do you recommend in your experience this "new" Mavic 3 Classic or the Mini 3 Pro? thanks
Dope. So are any features on the classic that arent available on the cine?
I really like the snarky wit on your videos.
I deffo think I’m guna grab one of these! I do wish they put more than 8GB internal storage, but that is literally the only thing. Everything else is ideal. Also really happy that the RC from my mini 3 will work with both!
Hey sorry to just throw this question in here off topic. I watched your webinar and noticed you recommend that if you have to use a laptop for editing then MacBook Pro is a great option? Im thinking of investing in your course but I'll need to grab a better laptop first. So would you recommend picking up a 2016 MacBook Pro i7?
Thanks for the review bald Jim. I hope Pam is doing well.
Another awesome video review. I have looked at the Mavic 3 and the Cine. But after watching your video I think the Classic has what I’m looking for at this point. Getting ready to retire from 30 yrs of policing 15yrs of that was doing Surveillance/Photography and 40yrs of photography experience I’m looking to supplement my pension with some drone photography. Eventually I can see adding a Matrice 30T and I have to say your video on that was amazing as well.
lol bad cop💢😝
Hello,
I just discovered your channel.
Really like it.
I just purchased the Mavic 3 classic.
I noticed 4 little what looks like protective film strips that cover the sensors.
Are you supposed to take them off.
They do have a little colored corner that looks like a pull tab.
Then I see two more on each side of the gimbal.
Don’t see anyone talk about these in the unboxing videos.
What did you do.
Thanks😌
"That's the end, go.......away."
I laughed. Being a kiwi I get this deadpan humour stuff :) Great vid mate and I'm so glad DJI bought out this option
I wonder if they will add the new software features to the mavic 3? Oh and compatibility with the DJI RC?
It would be great to hear you thoughts on why there is no zoom in the Classic. How does that affect your shooting style and the imagery in general. Thanks,
I cant wait mine arrives on the 11th
I am struggling. I have a mini 2. Ready to upgrade. I have been looking at mini 3 pro. Easier to travel internationally due to weight restrictions? And less noise to have people look up? I am loving the idea of 3 classic now.
Do you think DJI will be making a full frame sensor drone in a Mavic form factor? I would love a full frame sensor for low light work, but buying an Inspire is out of budget. It would be super to have a drone in-between the Mavic and Inspire
Help! Curious for photo if this drone can shoot 3:2 or is the only option 4:3? Been using the Mavic 2 Air for real estate and haven't been able to shoot 3:2 with the Mavic 3 Classic. Thanks!
Awesome review Alex. I'm glad that the M3C released, although it feels like a star wars launch. The end came out first than the beginning. The Mavic 3 launched (although a serious rocky and bumpy one at that) and people couldn't justify the upgrade because of its "insanely high price tag". Well now they can upgrade to the M3C as its the middle ground unit because the Air2S and the M3. Glad that DJI is releasing the M3 in 3 different packages like the Mini3P as well. I'm loving my OG M3 and I can't get enough of it. Hopefully the M3C will be the drone pilots have been salivating over to upgrade to a better performing platform at a much more affordable pricing. My only question now is, the Air2S rc-pro kit is 1749 and yet the M3C baby rc pro is also 1749....so with that in mind...will dji drop the Air2s rc pro kit or worse yet drop the Air2s entirely 🤔
Following…. Good question
I'm sure they will drop the price on the Air 2S package since that DJI RC is about $150 extra on a package, I think they were still figuring out the pricing for it in the beginning.... But I can't remember if that is a fly more combo included as well or not
Mini 2 is pretty much the same price from 2 years ago (at least I don't count 100-150$ as a discount) so I don't expect discounts on the next best thing from the Pro models 🤷
great review, as always. but i do think, they night video an photo should be better with this size sensor and hoping to see some improvements in the future via firmware etc. otherwise, no doubt, best drone for the money on the market, period.
Would you recommend any 3rd party props for sound/pitch reduction. (Mavic 3 classic)
I have an Air 2s, if I switch up to the Mavic 3, how does apature control with with their autofocus system? I mean the Air 2s likes to frequently switch up on me when doing panning shots and I don't like shooting in manual because 99% of the time I'm out of focus 😂.
interesting drone, FINALLY. ever since my M2P I never upgraded cos I didn't feel the need to (got the FPV tho) especially for the stupid price point of the Mavic 3..
finally this is the drone I was expecting when they released the mavic 3, proper pricing, proper performance upgrade, I might have some uses for the night mode even, so to me this is finally the time I'm looking to upgrade.
DJI sure took their sweet time on this and hopefully they learnt a thing or two from that terrible mavic 3 launch (cos the launch was terribad)
I just got this drone. What’s the best way to store video, and transfer it to iPhone?😊
Same Same, but different! : ). Nice one.
Cool- but what does it mean to be Shortlisted (shortbus...)
Can't they implement cruise control with a software update on the Mavic 3?
I film cars alot so I want to be able to zoom and use cruise control.
Just curious…..what’s the best thermal drone that’s affordable?
wow, the difference in night mode is HUGE. Anyone know if this mode is coming to Mini 3 as well?
Will my ND filters from the pro 2 fit on my new classic?
Perfect, not one frame of fluff, packed with nutrients.
Can someone tell what time the comparative spec list is again. I can’t stop forgetting the differences . There might have been too many or I might be just getting too old .
For someone that only owns the mini 2, can I just purchase the drone only - mavic 3 classic, will my controller support it?
I have recently came across your account and you have the most factual videos when it comes to drone. Can you also make a comparison video on DJI Mavic 3 classic and DJI mini 3 pro please?
What about zoom capabilities? Are they at least as an Air 2s?
0:16 interestingly I expected the flight time to be slightly better based on the fact that the drone should be slightly lighter, but I guess t hats a minute improvement of weight.
The problem though is that many people bought the DJI Mini 3 Pro or the Air 2S because the first releases of the Mavic 3 series were miles too expensive. Upgrading from the Mavic 2 Pro to the Mavic 3 Classic is a no brainer but very hard to justify if you bought the Mini 3 Pro or Air 2S as many have done.
A very good point you make. Thank God I am such a hesitant, patient, doubting old geezer that I managed to wait this long for what looks to me like the final, definitive drone for entry into the hobby without having travel and weight concerns. 😉
This drone came out the same day I got my Air 2S. It would have been a perfect upgrade for me.
Hey man. Great video as always. Do you also still recommend to shoot in Normal Mode 95% of the time with the Mavic 2 Pro? Yeah I know it’s getting old but I actually still use it sometimes and I think the Normal Mode looks great actually.
The Mavic 3 classic is my only drone, You mentioned "hyperlapse preview" could you explain that for me?
hi, could you do a video on dji avata? thanks
