DJI It’s Mavic series has been
its most popular drones over the past half decade because they’re portable, affordable, and just
GOOD F@#KING
DRONES And seriously, what a lineup!
Mavic Pro, the George Washington Mavic Pro Platinum, quietly underrated
Mavic Air, if Porsche were a drone Mavic 2 Pro, worthy of the hype
Mavic 2 Zoom, someone say Dolly Zoom Mavic 2 Enterprise, sorry Parrot
Mavic Mini, goodbye Spark Mavic Air 2, uglier but better
Mini 2, won’t blow away like it’s younger brother Air 2S, great bang for your buck
Mavic Mini 3 Pro, not sure yet And Mavic 3, my new favorite drone
So I know everyone is talking about the Mini 3 pro lately, but the Mavic 3 is DJI’s best drone ever.
Unfortunately for DJI, they did a horrible job marking it on their announcement day last year
with a clearly staged interview. It was brutal. They should’ve compared it to the Mavic 2 Pro and
shown how much better its image quality is but I’m not in their marketing team so their loss.
Now almost 6 months later, flying the Mavic 3, I can confidently say it’s my favorite drone.
And in this video I’m not going to share all the specs and pixel peeping details
since I’ve made other videos like that and you probably already know that by now. Instead,
I want to talk about why this drone is the best for serious hobbyists and professionals.
I’ve had a bunch of new subscribers to the channel so welcome,
I appreciate the support. If this is your first time here, my name is Brett Garamella, and I do

but the good stuff, cause that’s why you’re here. So consider subscribing and let’s jump into it!
I’ve flown the Mavic 3 Cine all over - in the snowy mountains,
deserts, oceans, next to flying birds. What really separates this drone is its image
quality. Not just being able to shoot at 5.1K up to 50 frames per second, but it is sharp along the
edges. And this was something that frustrated me with my Phantom 4 Pro and Mavic 2 Pro,
and most recently my Air 2S, the edges are soft. The Mavic 3 is crisp from edge to edge,
so flying any other Mavic drone is a let down now. It also gives me the ability to zoom in without
sacrificing quality when editing on a 4K timeline. Now I have the ability to shoot ProRes with the
Mavic 3 Cine, but I only shoot H.265 because the ProRes takes up too much space and there isn’t
a huge difference in quality. I also found that when I shoot in ProRes, I randomly get this disk
fragmenting error, which I contacted DJI but they didn’t have a viable solution. So that’s
why I just shoot H.265, which looks amazing. Comment below if you have found a solution
to this disk fragmenting error on the Mavic 3 Cine. That’s why I recommend getting the Mavic 3
and not the Cine edition, though having the 1TB internal Solid State Drive is very convenient.
The image quality is also great in low light. You can watch a video I made here
shooting Allegiant Stadium in low light. The flight time is great, usually about 35
minutes or so. And despite being powerful in the wind, it is definitely quieter than my Air 2S.
And a lot of people love the Air 2S, but the Air 2S is louder, has horrible battery life,
and doesn’t have the same image quality or low light performance as the Mavic 3.
So yeah, the Mavic 3 to me is actually a bargain for what it does. My only complaint
would be to have the zoom camera zoom from 1x to 28x optically, without the jumping
between optical and digital zoom. But since I use the 4/3 camera 99 percent of the time,
it’s not that big of a deal. If you have flown the Mavic 3,
you know what I’m talking about in this video. If not, I’ll put links below for this amazing drone.
