Affordable High-Quality Camera Drones : mavic 3 classic

Following the launch of its flagship camera drone, the ‘Mavic 3,’ earlier this year, DJI launched the more affordable ‘Mavic 3 Classic.’ The Mavic 3 Classic boasts essentially the same list of features and the same body size as its predecessor, with a few key changes. The only major change between the Mavic 3 and the Classic is the removal of the Mavic 3’s 1/2-inch CMOS telephoto lens. The Classic also does not feature ‘Apple ProRes 422’ support, which the ‘Mavic 3 Cine’ does.

These two changes reduce the price of the Mavic 3 classic to only $1,309, down from the $1,879 on the regular model and the $4,279 on the Cine model. Despite this far more accessible price point, the Mavic 3 still shoots 5.1k resolution video in 50 fps, features the same 46-minute battery life, and the same weather-resistant capabilities as the more premium models.
