When DJI first teased the announcement of what is now the Mavic 3 Pro, it used the phrase ‘Inspiration in Focus.’ We hoped that might be code for ‘a DJI Inspire 3 you can actually afford’. The previous Inspire 2 came in two editions, a cinematographer edition with SSD recording in the five-figure price bracket, and a cheaper version costing not much more than Mavic 3 Pro.
What made that drone special was the ability to swap lenses, even to add a zoom. Here, the multiple cameras solve that, while the Cine edition of the Mavic 3 series (there is a Mavic 3 Pro Cine, too) means that long shots are available to creatives.While the Inspire 2 wasn’t especially practical, the Mavic 3 sits at the top of DJI’s consumer/prosumer range and, at nearly 1kg, requires registration in most places but is still light and portable, and quick to use. While other drones have targeted zoom improvements as an inspection tool, the Mavic 3 Pro is clearly aimed at photographers and videographers.
