The DJI Mavic 3 Pro comes with top-of-the-line camera system that is sure to impress both professional and amateur photographers. Its tri-camera imaging system comes with a 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad camera with a 24mm format equivalent, a new 1/1.3-inch CMOS 70mm medium tele camera, and an upgraded 166mm tele camera. All three cameras support 4K/60fps video recording and offer exceptional professional-grade output.
The Hasselblad camera is widely regarded as one of the best cameras for aerial photography, producing stunningly sharp and vivid images. The camera sensor is four times larger than the Mavic 2 Pro, allowing it to capture more details and produce high-quality images even in low-light conditions. The camera also supports D-Log M and 10-bit color, making it perfect for color grading and post-processing.
The medium tele camera is another exciting addition to the Mavic 3 Pro’s camera system. It can zoom up to 3x allowing users to get closer to their subjects without having to physically move the drone. This feature is particularly useful when shooting wildlife, landscapes, or other hard-to-reach subjects.
The upgraded 166mm tele camera is the third camera in the Mavic 3 Pro’s tri-camera imaging system. It offers better zoom abilities than its predecessor, allowing users to capture subjects from even further away. While it may not be as versatile as the medium tele camera, it’s still an excellent choice for photographers and videographers who need to capture subjects from a distance.
