Drones are getting smarter and better at taking photos, opening up new opportunities for photographers looking to take their skills to the next level.
DJI Mavic 3 Pro Installation and Settings for Cinematic Footage
DJI's new Mavic 3 Pro top-of-the-line drone gets a revamped pro version with three cameras instead of two. It's a sign that drones are becoming a serious tool for amateur photographers, experts say.
“Photography is an art that requires different perspectives and angles to add variety and create compelling viewpoints that help tell a story through your images,” Desiree Rodriguez, a photographer who uses drones in her work, told Lifewire in an email interview. “Drones offer a cost-effective solution to achieving these perspectives. Previously, you had to rent a helicopter to take aerial photos of buildings or mountains, which was both expensive and time-consuming.”
The $2,199 Mavic 3 Pro hovers above scenes with three cameras that use different focal lengths. The drone packs Hasselblad’s familiar camera system with two telephoto cameras and a maximum flight time of 43 minutes.
