all right we're going to talk about the three best and three worst things
for the mavic 3 so i'm going to jump right into it obviously everyone's pumped up for this drone
the mavic 3 but there are some things that well i i wasn't too pleased about i'm gonna and
i wanna just first mention that everything in this video today is gonna be in my opinion
okay there's gonna be a lot of people out there that disagree with what i'm about to say
but i gave it some thought and this is based on my own experience from flying pretty much every
single dji drone that is available today all right so i'm going to jump in right into this video
all right i'm just going to check the live stream we'll go we're live we're good okay so
we're going to start with the three best things okay so let's start with that
might as well start with the best okay then we're going to get to the worst so the three best things
that i see number one is it's kind of obvious is the camera all right having micro four thirds
uh four thirds sensor here cmos sensor uh a hasselblad camera you're gonna get a lot more
uh information okay and it is 2.8 i wish it was 2.4 okay f 2.8 and 24 millimeters
is the same as the mavic 2 pro i think 24 millimeters is a great focal length
it's um pretty much a classic wide-angle lens so at and at the wide side so i
i kind of like that it's any more wide than that you get a little distortion okay now
you can see yes it's made by hasselblad so hasselblad is known for their image quality
okay and we are no longer stuck with that one-inch camera okay so the second thing
that the second best feature is the 5.1 k in apple pro res now you can only get this with a cine
version so it's a little bit of an asterisk here but you can still shoot 5.1 k with both drones
and you can do a pro res with a cine version and i think that's still pretty darn good with
a four third sensor being able to shoot a 5.1 k i would have liked to see it a little more but
i'm i'm still happy with that i'm fine with 5.1 k at this point most stuff is 4k so if you give
me really good 4k i'm happy so 5.1 k allows me to crop in slightly to make it 4k okay so it gives me
a little flexibility in post-production so i was really happy with that and especially with prores
you can color grade it and you can do a bunch of different things and that's a 10 bit
you can shoot 10 bit log apple prores with the cine version okay so the professional video
settings as i as i mentioned before not just the 5.1 k but i'm actually more impressed with
the 4k 120 frames per second but you notice this little number number one by it and dji says it's
not going to be available until january so i guess they're still working on the firmware over there
in china so once they get that solved we will have 4k 120 frames per second i think they just wanted
this drone to be released and didn't want to get the firmware perfect before they release the drone
which is kind of normal uh this happened before so i'm not disappointed i can wait for the 4k
120 frames per second because that will allow me to really slow down my footage having those extra
frames as i explained before in a video it allows you to slow down your footage if you only shoot at
24 or 30 frames per second try to slow it down a lot you're gonna have missing frames and your
image your video footage is going to look choppy so having that 4k 120 frames per second is great
and of course apple prores 422 color high quality okay that's what we want 10 bit d log for color
grading by the way end of this video i'm going to give away some color grading uh courses again
for the live stream viewers so stay tuned for that all right so we have the two versions
right here okay and a lot of people are like which one did you choose brett which one did you get
and i'm about to tell you all right so yeah i got the cine version and i'm gonna explain why i got
the suny version and i why i think it is actually the better of the two drones not just because i
think it's the better deal i should say obviously it's better because it shoots prores but i'm going
to explain why i decided to get the mavic 3 city i know you watched the live stream before i was
sort of debating which one i should get it's a lot of money to drop on a drone and actually it really
is not that much when you consider what you get so i'm gonna explain that right now so on dji's
page here you can see four nine nine nine nine okay i ended up buying i ended up buying the um
insurance for two years and that ended up costing me six hundred dollars so plus tax it ended up
being fifty nine hundred dollars so because i had i think i had like thirteen fourteen 14
in dgi credit so it was like 59 something it ended up being 5 900 so almost 6 000
for this drone with the insurance but i was happy to pay that because i really wanted this
smart controller to test this out see how that was it also helps you fly right away
it's a great display for all conditions and really a professional looking controller there okay
i didn't really like the look of the other controller too to be honest just the normal
controller with a drone like this that's kind of darker so that's just a personal thing
but having a 1200 dollar controller thrown in plus the apple prores which would have
normally cost me five hundred dollars with the inspire 2. plus the ssd drive the 960
gigabytes that would have cost me sixteen hundred dollars so we add that all up 1600 that's 2100
plus the controller uh can i do this math uh 3300 i believe so that's 3 300 plus the drone
i think that's a good deal plus the extra batteries and so forth because the combo
so i think this actually was a really good price it's over a thousand dollars i basically threw in
i basically got this controller for free i mean i didn't get the normal controller but
i have the other normal controller my air 2s so i basically have two controllers i believe the
other controller works with it as well so uh for me it was worth getting the premium combo
i also know i'm gonna make that money back uh tenfold so for me uh it was kind of after i sat
and thought about i'm like wait a minute yeah you were intimidated by that price but when you sit
down and think about it this is a pretty darn good deal this is a pretty good on good deal
for the cine version all right the premium combo okay so by the way it's only available right now
in the combo for the cine version okay you can't buy this just the cine drone by itself
in the future we'll have to see maybe they'll make that available for us okay so then we're gonna
talk about so this is the drone i got the city version and i just checked my email and it just
shipped from china today so i should get that in a couple days i imagine monday i should get it so
if you haven't subscribed please subscribe to check out all my videos i'm going to be doing
a bunch of tutorials cool flight videos cinematic videos if that if you enjoy that and you want to
learn more about the mavic 3 both the normal and the cine version obviously with a cine version
you kind of get the features of both uh don't forget to subscribe because i'll be making a lot
of videos about that and i'm super pumped up i'm gonna take a trip very soon to to shoot with it so
got to do that if you spend that kind of money i think it's worth it so
three worst things all right now we're gonna get in three worst
things these are things that kind of like i was disappointed about
and um the first thing was i think the price for the normal version could have been lower okay
so 21.99 it's a lot to ask because this is going to be most hobbyists or people who just
are starting their drone business all right but they don't have extra cash flow and you know it's
really gonna it's it's really a lot for a drone i think considering what you get with this drone
because yeah the image is nice and they cleaned up the image it's certainly better than the mavic 2
pro from what i've seen especially in the corners where the mavic 2 pro was not so good but for
this price i think they could have gone a little lower i think they should have kept it under 2 000
uh to be competitive uh but then they made the city version really competitive so i don't know
maybe that they did this on purpose so more people would buy the cine version but that was my first
thing that was kind of let down the second thing that was let down about was this other camera
they have it's only a half inch sensor which if you're shooting on a drone like this it's gonna
be most professionals or people who are serious about it we don't really want a half inch sensor
okay that's like the mavic air too that i just don't want that it's like just make me a good you
could have even made this sensor bigger add more features with this camera you could have made it
like 6k and just made it bigger and just had one camera i would have been happier with that so 162
millimeters it says a hybrid zoom although i've seen the imagery from the zoom i think it only
zooms to about seven times after that it gets the image kind of degrades so i didn't really i
wasn't impressed from what i've seen from this camera so far i got to test it out but to me
this camera is more like okay i'll use this zoom feature just to scout out locations so
this camera can be a great location scout for seeing different scenes and then using obviously
the bigger camera the four thirds sensor to shoot but i was kind of disappointed about that a lot
of people are going to disagree but again this is uh my opinion so as a professional cinematographer
filmmaker i was not happy with that okay so the last thing is the 20 megapixels f 2.8 to f 11
all this stuff we've basically seen this with the mavic 2 pro so this wasn't a huge upgrade
obviously it's a bigger camera sensor so the image quality is going to be better
and i looked at this image i downloaded this 12 megapixel photo which was on dji site this raw
dng file i tried to edit it in uh both lightroom photoshop and capture one
and i wasn't really happy to be honest it it was all right like but nothing really knocked
my socks off i i don't think this was something that dji really should have boasted all right
i will say in the corners it is sharper whereas the mavic 2 pro in the corners it was it was
a little lacking so they kind of fixed that but overall uh for this 112 megapixel image that they
in this feature is basically it's it's a wide angle you can stitch these all together in in
one of the modes i still wasn't i'm still not i obviously it will look good blown up but
you know for me for most people and even for photographers i would have just rather you
made this a little higher but i understand this is for video so once you once you raise the
megapixels the video quality and low light goes down okay because the size of the pixel is much
smaller of each individual pixel so i don't want to get into too much nerdy stuff but basically
they wanted to make this more of a video video centric filmmaker camera than a photographer
camera and i think that's what they did so photographers is a little bit of a letdown all
right guys now we're going to do the giveaway for my color grading course plus my cinematic lup pack
and i'm going to add a new letter to for the mavic 3. actually i probably had a bunch of a mavic 3
drone so i'm gonna if you shoot in uh with the 10-bit log video and or the the prores i'm going
to add some lux to it so i will include that in my course so haven't gotten that out but it will
be out this week okay so we're going to get pick two winners let's see who's on the live stream
who's in the live stream bright guy did uh trip to where uh i think i'm gonna go out to the desert i
think i wanted to go out to the desert i'm not gonna say where because i don't want to like i
kind of want to make it a little bit of a surprise but i have a kind of a secret location not just
a desert it's a it's another place with some other cool features not completely a desert but
um a desert area i should say all right who wants to win the color grading course
just leave all right nobody wants to win all right i think everyone's sleeping today uh
braga i don't know if i've given you my color grading course if you want i'll give it to you
if not i'll pick two winners after this video is done okay below this video i will pick that okay
because i realize we're live and it is a saturday morning so some people are still sleeping all
right lastly if you want to start and grow your drone a successful drone business i have created
drone pilot pro course which both has gone up in price it was 299 before now it's 349 because
it's you know it's pays for itself basically so i had to raise the price i gotcha i can't wait man
all right brad guy yeah definitely i'm gonna be uh i will post that video as soon as it comes out but
it i'm gonna get more into that later but yeah i'm definitely planning a trip with my mavic 3 pro i
got some really cool ideas i got a few videos so if you haven't subscribed please subscribe
to get those videos definitely be worth the wait for you i'm gonna spend some time in
those videos too i'm not going to it's not going to be like these live streams so my other videos
that are quick it's going to be very slow in depth and i'm going to make it real good so
that's the plan all right so i basically created the ultimate online drone school
all right this is uh over the last two years i've been working on creating all these little
individual courses that i combined to my one course called drone pilot pro which is my premium
course for people who want to are serious drone pilots this is not for everybody okay this is just
for people who want to get serious about their drone want to make more more money with their
drone okay maybe you're a professional but you're not earning the money you want and that's what the
business course the business side shows you but i if you're just starting out and you need to get
set up you want to learn how to edit color grade your video and you need to pass your part 107 exam
i show you all that through this video course so you just press play watch the videos could take a
little notes if you want or just watch it again watch it a couple times you should get all the
information that you need okay and in this course i also include include the adobe creative cloud
which is 60 off when you enroll in the course so that discount alone basically pays for the course
itself and you get all these apps okay these apps i use all the time and ex go over the apps i use
in the course things like lightroom photoshop premiere pro spark okay these are apps i use
in my everyday life and show you the benefit of your series about becoming a full-time filmmaker
photographer drone pilot okay show you how to do that all right so the pre-launch special it's
still fifty percent off okay fifty percent off the regular price i will put a link below this
video where you can check that out and that's it thanks for tuning in guys appreciate appreciate
it maybe i'll show myself on screen here because i haven't done that in a while um
