Congratulations on your new drone, wishing you many wonderful flights with it. I got it last November and had lots of fun flying it during the harsh winter months, in Montreal. Its most important features relative to the AIR 2S are longer flying time and waypoints.
@@nobby-green Hia Nobby again, could i take the test needed to fly my mavic 3 classic in the countryside and register it before it comes ?? im still waiting its been ages now, oh and whats the name of the test again. Thanks mate.
I have had my Mavic 3 Classic for about 2 months. Due to the really nasty weather in the Pacific Northwest I have not had much chance to fly it. When I have had the chance it has been an absolute beast in the wind. I put it up in about a 15 mph/24 kph wind and it held position perfectly. I used the waypoint feature and found it amazing also. One note on waypoints. Be aware that it does round out the flight path from one waypoint to the next. This becomes important if you are setting up waypoints with objects out side the waypoint system. I set some way points down a tree line, video focused away from the trees. I flew the way points in a straight line. When I ran the waypoints and the drone rounded out the path the obstacle avoidance kicked in on a couple of trees and made the flight path a little jittery. I moved the way points out from the tree line a bit and all went well as the Mavic 3 rounded out the flight path. Not a big deal but something to be aware of.
Great tip. I did do a quick way point and did notice the rounding on the map. Looking forward to getting it out more. The weather in the uk has been terrible but hopefully it’s picking up now. Having said that we are forecast rain for the next week coming 🙈😁
Am a raw beginner and have had the Mini 3 Pro since December. I always imagined that if I enjoyed flying it then that drone would be a stepping stone up to the Mavic 3 series next. I am very surprised by how well the M3P turned out for my silly needs but am still curious about what this new Classic may add beside just Cruise Control and the raw sex appeal of bigger and faster. PNW too.
first impression is always the best sir I fell in with that beauty in the beast body really great speed looks great really impressive upgrade sir love ur video direct to the point talk love from india✌🏻
Hey up Nobby, greetings from Yorkshire. I have the Air 2s and recently bought the Mavic 3 Classic, both are fantastic drones. I live within 5 min walk of the Yorkshire moors and fly there regularly. On windy days the air 2s would blow about a bit, but The Mavic 3 Classic is like a Bull dog as if to say "Call yasen wind?" "Buggrer off, Im coming Like it or not".
That’s great news! I’m also finding it’s a real beast when it comes to wind. I’m up at York tomorrow for a few days and planning a few flights over the moors weather permitting 😁
Congrats on the Mavic 3 Classic, Nobby. I have held off wondering if there will be an Air 3. If no Air 3 announcement by June 1, I think I will get the M3 Classic. Have fun. I look forward to your next reports. Cheers from Wisconsin, U.S.A.
@@nobby-green I am thinking that you are right concerning the Air 3. There were rumors a couple of months ago about an Air 3 in May. Perhaps no Air 3 now will force me into a better choice. So many people tout the wonders of the M3 Classic that it might be the better way for me to go. It is a little pricey, but now in my 74th year I should put that aside. My main concern is attracting attention with the M3’s size and noise. I can fly the Mini 3 Pro anywhere and people either give me a friendly hello or just ignore me.
@@georgekelly1948 Yes there are bigger restrictions here in the UK, but there's heaps of places to Fly them. Surprisingly they are not as loud as you would imagine.
I have found that the Mavic 3 Classic out off all the drones I have owned it has the most precise landing and also when I tried out the night mode it blew me away such an amazing drone wish you the best off luck with it Nobby
I had the mavic 3 but now sold it because there's to many regulations so didn't get to use it much but your right it is a beast I did enjoy flying it. Thanks for sharing nobby 😁👍👌 🇬🇧
They are restricted yes but I’m surprised that you sold it. They are fantastic however if you didn’t use it then fair play. Having the A2cofc helps. Thanks 👍
I have to agree with you. I've had my M3C since November and it is awesome. I have not put it to it's full potential yet but it's fun trying the features out. Waypoints are easy. The drone handles a good wind speed. Oversll I'm very happy.
@@nobby-green have you test active track with 60fps in a place with some obstacles? Also you could check the problem in HATU'S channel, he tested it with standards scenarios with M3 Classic,Mavic 3 and Mini 3 pro. The only crashed dron as a result of testing was Mavic 3 classic. Check it out.
@@Solojo I understand your concern it is not cheap is like every time it flies away is like an investment flaying away but It has behaved very well I just try not to depend on the sensors at least for now.
Thirty-five minutes on a standard battery in the Mavic 3 Classic is outstanding compared to all previous models. May I ask what remaining battery percentage you were seeing when the drone landed after 35 minutes of flight?
I love the DJI products that I do have, and I’ve been wanting to partake in some of the newer items however, where I live, Geo fencing is a bit much of an issue. Thank goodness autel is another brand that I own that I love very much I get to do what I love responsibly with it however, there’s nothing like flying a DJI.
Thanks for this video. It raises the temperature here. Exercising with a Mini 3 PRO one day going for a Mavic 3 Classic is likely to happen. Waypoints looks interesting. Can altitudes be assigned to the waypoints?
Hi Stefan. Yes you can. You can also change heading gimbal tilt and many other things for each waypoint. You can also tell it to take a picture too👍 quite an amazing drone.
Thanks' for your vid I bought a Classic a couple of weeks ago. On the screen you can see a little yellow H for home where its going to land Thanks Nobby I'll Subscribe now. 👍
What I'm found of about Mini 2 is the full control of aircraft, camera etc etc when RTH. Some kind here of "cruise control". Unfortunately this isn't available on Mini 3 series due to my understanding ❤️
@@nobby-green Yes that's correct. However with the hyperlapse option in M3P it requires some planning and plotting ahead and the outcome is debatable IMO. But better off we are now with third party apps. Waypoint missions etcetera. I'm just now evaluating Dronelink Beta for M3P. Soon enough we'll see Litchi, Rainbow, Maven amongst others available. Then there's this absolutely free Android app for wp missions called Smart Flight. No fees whatsoever for us fighting increasing cost of living 😂
I can only just handle my mini 3 pro, and as it is my 1st and only drone and more than enough for joe bloggs here, i be sticking with it for a good few years. 😊.
Dang that was more impressive than I thought it would be, man. Worth the wait? Lol. 45 mph??? Holy crap! I’m pretty sure you’ll be flying that more than the Mini 3 pro, so if you need me to keep the 3 company, I’ll help you out. Hahaha. Seriously though, I agree 100% about liking to fly in unpopulated areas more than just areas.
Hey Kevin. Definitely worth the wait. Its just this crap weather we are getting at the moment. Feel free if you want to pop over and Fly my mini 3 Pro hahaha... and yes, i like to be out of the way of Karens lol
This is awesome Nobby, by the way can you recoomend any good places in the UK to fly the drone, or even good motorways like you have done? i always find for motorways there is a parking problem lol, but i love the locations you did in this video as im in the UK myself
The Peak District is a favourite of mine. Lots of fantastic views up there. As for motorways I can only suggest taking off from the services and flying parallel. The location I use is close to junction 26 m1 👍
@@nobby-green thanks so much, yea peak district has been on my list fr ages, i need to make time out for that and yes service stations good idea, ,i had a feeling that junction looks so familiar too lol thanks for the response
Good video about a very interesting drone. Loved my Air2. I am torn between this one and the Autel Lite Plus which is currently on Sale for about 1,100 bucks in the fly more Combo including ND filters. However, it is not yet certified going along with several restrictions and allows recording in log only in full auto which makes little sense. The difference in price and DJI’s geofencing are hard to swallow though.
@@nobby-green I find most DJI'S drones have a fantastic camera. But am not convinced bigger is better yet. If I switch my drone to CINE mode is that not the same as Autopilot in a straight line?
@@SimplyScotlandPhotography HI Gary no its not. Cine mode is just a slower mode. Cruise control like on the mavic series is auto pilot, it will fly in the direction you set until cancelled.
Congratulations on your new drone, wishing you many wonderful flights with it. I got it last November and had lots of fun flying it during the harsh winter months, in Montreal. Its most important features relative to the AIR 2S are longer flying time and waypoints.
Thank you. Yes you are probably right waypoints is an excellent feature. I do like the cruise control and the fact it has a variable aperture 👍
Brilliant Nobby, your gonna have a ball with that beauty mate, Kev.
Sure am Kev. Thanks 🙏

The phantom 3 pro for it’s time
& now this one’s
@@Peter-Casey sure is Peter. I had the phantom 3 too 👍
Will be interested to hear your comments about what advantages this beast has over the M3P.
i have lots of videos planned stay tuned 😃
Absolutely amazing drone, easy to fly, quality camera. Also the tracking is super cool. 10/10 drone
Can’t agree more Jon 👍

It sure is Johnny time will tell as I keep testing it 😁

The classic is a great drone I am lucky to have it as my first drone I do not regret it.. Its an amazing piece of tech it has become my flying pet.
They sure are Ivan. Glad you are enjoying yours too 👍
Yep, i got one, but my view is that it needs an update due to the active track bugs and errors so... I got mine in the bag, waiting for the update.
@@Solojo I’ve not had any issues so far 🤔

It was just under the 20% mark 👍
That is a reasonable level of battery charge at the point of landing
@@riverbankfisher it sure was. They are pretty awesome
I am saving for a renewed version from DJI for the regular Mavic 3 which is the same price. It's just used with the same warranty.
Sounds great Joe. You will get the extra lens then 👍
just got mine. how's the Wi fi ?
If you mean signal strength its excellent 👍
I love the DJI products that I do have, and I’ve been wanting to partake in some of the newer items however, where I live, Geo fencing is a bit much of an issue.

Indeed, it is!
Thanks 🙏
Can i buy this without remote. And use my mini 2 RCn1 remote control.
