DJI has just unveiled a new drone that's perfect for budding filmmakers, featuring a three-camera setup.
DJI Mavic 3 Pro Installation and Settings for Cinematic Footage
The company calls the Mavic Pro 3 the “world’s first optical drone” with three cameras, and it even includes a 70mm lens for “powerful subject framing,” delivering portrait-like images even when you’re hovering high in the sky. This is the company’s fourth Mavic 3 drone, following the original Mavic 3, the Mavic 3 Classic, and the Mavic 3 Enterprise.
In addition to the newly added 70mm lens, the Mavic 3 Pro also packs a 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad camera with a 24mm prime lens for shots of wide-angle vistas and a 166mm telephoto lens for zooming in and out. Video specifications are top-notch, as it records footage in up to 5.1K resolution at 50fps or 4K at 120fps. If you’re craving 8K action, you’ll need to shell out $16,500 for the recently announced DJI Inspire 3.
Other improvements include various camera software enhancements and a new 10-bit color mode for greater color accuracy. The Mavic 3 Pro is available in regular and Cine models, with the latter including more advanced features for serious filmmakers, such as Apple ProRes Capture, a 1TB SSD drive, and a 10Gbps LightSpeed data cable.
