  • The Mavic 3 is finally the drone everyone expected when it was launched. Many new features were added with the most recent update. However, It's still missing one of my favorite things! This video also demonstrates all of the quickshot modes.

    Way Points (or Key Framing) isn't just a good idea. It should be standard in any drone these days. Its ridiculous that DJI doesn't have i interluded at all and its outright pathetic that they don't have it included with a deep feature-set in the Mavic 3. It was one of THE key features i was going to buy a drone for and i waited this long to get one. To finally jump in with the Mavic 3 and then afterwards find out that the feature they have had previously is now not in by default.
    Customers shouldn't accept this kind of behavior.

This means zero chance of it being used for aerial mapping any time soon. Tried to explain to them the huge market share of professionals they will miss out on… deaf ears.

    Absolutely waypoint is essential. I was extremely disappointed with a 5k drone to not have it! You shouldn’t have to void your DJI care by using 3rd party apps to get waypoint flight. Perhaps more “pro-consumers” would upgrade to the RCPRO if waypoint was available on it. Many including myself would continue the DJI brand loyalty. It’s standard with its competitors.

    Waypoints is an absolute deal breaker for me, so still holding off buying the Mavic 3 and in no hurry to buy this drone and might have to look elsewhere if competitors beat them to it.
    This to me was dji’s biggest mistake when launching this drone and then announcing straight away that they had no intention of adding waypoints. Especially on a drone with omnidirectional sensors?
    So it seems only right to announce my intention not to upgrade to this newer drone yet!
    Come on dji, up your game and listen to your consumers!
    The rest of the drone is finally starting to take shape at last, but just lacking one major feature - waypoints!

    Hey Russ, great video (as always). I'm on the fence about getting this or the M2EA (thanks to your great video on the M2EA). What would your thoughts be on investment in this vs the M2EA? It's kind of apples and oranges, in that the M2EA's big advantage is thermal, but as a new 107 pilot trying to build a business do you think it would be more beneficial to get the M3 to start building my portfolio or is the return on investment higher for the M2EA (since there isn't as much competition)? Hard question to answer, I know, since there are so many variables. I won't make my decision solely on your advice but I do respect your opinion.
    Thanks, as always! Keep up the great work!!

    If it wasn't for the resolution boost, 2nd camera and longer flight times, the lack of waypoints feature would've been a deal breaker for me given the cost of the mavic 3, I was seriously considering the mavic 2 because waypoints is such an invaluable tool on my Inspire 1 pro it's hard to live without. So I guess I'll keep waiting (at least until dji releases the SDK so that Litchi can work that feature into their app)

    Waypoints is a critical feature. I can't believe it's not included and rumored to never be included.

    Dont mean to nitpick, so I'll just cover the bigger stuff - things like:

    * Camera controls lock up
    * Straight Line RTH is buggy as hell. Many have had issues. Check Forums.
    * Certain sequences close the App on RC Pro
    and the latest bad news:
    RC Pro does not, and will not support Quick Transfer. See page 31 of the new User Manual v1.4. IPV6 transfer won't be available on the "Professional" Controller.
    Also who agree with me that some updates to Quickshots are in order. This is a replay of the exact same Quickshots, right down to the horrendous music clips as my Air 2 and Mini 2. Same Panoramas. Not that they are bad, but a bit dated. After all the waiting, some updates or additions would have been nice. Kind of anticlimactic. They aren't bad. Just old. Mini 2 does all this except Focus Track Suite and Asteroid. Air 2S added Mastershots. Mavic 3 added... nothing, except a very long wait. The camera , zoom and settings improvements are good 👍
    I love being able to zoom while tracking, POI and more..A lot of it is great. But why such a long wait when the autonomous modes are not bringing anything significantly new?

Does the Mavic 3 allow the quick shots modes using 5.1k? My A2s it does not so I've learned to fly orbits and other things really well manually.

    The way things are going, waypoints will be available for the M3 in 2023. Buy a Mini 2 (the "pro" one :)) and you will have waypoints. Then you can use DJI Ground Station PRO and other apps.
    Were users of the inexpensive prosumer M3 really looking forward to the Quick Shots toys?
    Flight time, stability, obstacle avoidance, hyperlapses, panoramas, telephoto and others are great features (what less could you expect from an expensive upgrade?) but I feel a lot of gaps. I come from the Phantom 1 era which had a switch for course lock and home lock, also Atti mode (no GPS, free flight!!!). With the Phantom 3 and 4 Pro we had Follow Me (not the same as Focus Track) and Tripod mode. None of that exists anymore and they are very practical utilities in many cases. With the last update the Cinema mode has the same maximum speed as in Normal mode 14m/s (!)
    Exp settings has changed the way to configure it. I'll see how to correct that.
    Anyway, I don't understand DJI's philosophy, too many missing features to use this drone for work.

    For me loss of waypoint capability has substantially crippled the DJI consumer line of drones for those who do any serious photography. After purchasing an Air 2S, and wrongly assuming it had waypoint capability, I felt foolish for not doing my homework. No waypoint capability within the Air 2S (and Mavic 3) was so crippling that I acquired a used Mavic 2 Zoom and a used Mavic 2 Pro…both of which support waypoint flying. I am also keeping my older phantoms in good shape since they also support waypoint flying. If the Mavic 3 supported waypoint flying (not virtual sticks) I would already own one.

    Hey Russ, great video once again! Just a quick question, is the Mavic 3 that much better in low light than the Mavic 2 pro? I’m so happy with my Mavic two pro but I would love better low light so I’m just looking to see if it’s that much better. Thanks so much

    I think some don't get it as the issue of way points is discussed. There shouldn't be a enterprise release of the Mavic 3 regarding waypoints.. This is a $2300 purchase. Without waypoints it's a very expensive camera on a drone that can do a few tricks. But is very limited with regard to other than cinematic applications. Rather than a Mavic 3, a Phantom 4 Pro or a Mavic 2 Pro is a better option and cheaper. You'd lose zoom and the larger sensor but you'd be able to make a living at a lower investment. By the way, neither the Phantom or M2 Pro are considered commercial drones yet they both have the waypoint feature. I also don't buy that this is a DJI Go v. DJI Fly issue. Right now the Hyperlapse feature in the Fly app utilizes waypoints. If DJI puts out another more expensive drone with waypoints I'll never purchase another highend DJI product. In fact Autel or whoever needs to step it up. Truth is if there were more stiff competition out there the waypoint feature would be there... Not a year later... now.

    Thanks for this review Russ.
    The waypoints are not yet available; Skydio may thank DJI. Many among us will go from DJI to Skydio.
    And the course lock? Is it implemented?

    Very informative video. Thank you. Curious if when you update firmware on the Mavic 3 do you remove the propellers in case the drone randomly starts flying.

    Russ.....Waypoints? Absolutely! This feature is a no-brainer for those of us filming construction jobs especially!!! I shot my first panorama on a real estate shoot today...it was awesome!

    Great show. Yes I love waypoints. Running same mission between different seasons of the year etc. example out of my city of Perth, in summer (now) brown farmlands and some hills near Perth .. in winter someone up there (our master) paints .. the landscape with color. Green and yellow (canola crops). Litchi is great. Hope Mavic 3 realises the happy customer base if they allow waypoint ability for M3.

    I'm still torn between the Air 2S and the Mavic 3, especially since the RC Pro now works with the Air2S. After time with both, would you still use your Air 2S?

  • @maciejk3348
    @maciejk3348 2 года назад

    I do owe Mavic 3 and wayponits would make the drone 100 procent perfect Russ. Like your videos from the time I had Mavic Pro. By the way you were the first creator that I watched when I purchased my first drone. Love the channel. Cheers from Poland. 👍

    Of course waypoints is a good idea to include. I've had selfbuilt drones for ages with waypoints, with and without DJI components aswell as DJI RTF models like the Phantom and earlier Mavic models that had that feature...I don't believe a feature like that should ever be removed...they should be versatile in use.
    But since the enterprice series have them, I feel it's a move to separate the photo and cinema users from the enterprise users and that the choice to do so is more or less a permanent one...unfortunately.
    Not sure where I saw it, but it was suggested in a video I watched, that the hole series should've been made modular from the getgo...and I agree. The prices are too steep for any single person or small business to ever have one enterprise edition with RTK, waypoints, searchlights, IR and thermal abilities and one to make great imagery...one should be able to purchase the preset that fits the best and then add features later on, like different camera-module, RTK, etc, aswell as having different software modes, where you choose between photo/cine style or photogrametry or other enterprise-like features...just a couple of thoughts...I would spend more money for sure, if that was the case...AND still feel like I got more for the investment.
    But yeah...agree with you! Waypoints should be there, both in current form AND as a preplanning ability. One should also be able to import and export routes, so one can share them and or create paths in other software aswell.
    Great channel and content btw! Keep it up

  • @gigilarue3588
    @gigilarue3588 2 года назад

    Yes on Waypoints! Also, I am curious about wide Panorama. With the Air 2S the stretch in the final photo looks ridiculous. This did not happen with the P4P. How is the wide Panorama with Mavic three?

  • @justforfun9150
    @justforfun9150 2 года назад

    I heard they just released the SDK on the Air 2S so Litchi (i.e., waypoints) will work. I am hopeful the MP3 will have an SDK in the not too distant future.

    Since I’m a school bus driver, I’ll never be able to afford the Mavic 3, so, Russ when you get tired of yours, could I have it? Thanks, I’ll be watching the mail!

    I wish that all the QuickShots had a speed adjustment like with, I believe it is POI. I know it can be done in post, however if they are more for "beginners" then being able to adjust at time of shoot would be good. The dronie is too slow in my opinion, as are others, but being adjustable would allow everyone to shoot the way they wanted.
    Waypoints would be good to have, but for a recreational user, not as important as for others.
    I am still confused a bit by the coding format. It seems I remember that H.265 was equal but more compressed, but having watched several videos with the new update, they all had their setting at H.264. If you have a video which covers that, please post a link as I have seen it somewhere in the past.

    Love your Channel! Very informative! I've been keeping my eyes on videos for updates on the M3. I was considering purchasing this drone when it first came out but all the reviews were terrible but since these updates it seems to be the Drone to buy! I will agree with you that I think it needs waypoint's! I'll be keeping an eye on your channel for anymore M3 updates! Thank again!

    I'm a new drone owner ,(mini 2) . How often / many flights do you check the screws on the props , I've never took them off or replaced one , Yet. So every take off , I'd listen for sound change , but do you physically check the screws with the screwdriver ?

  • @kevinwells4986
    @kevinwells4986 2 года назад

    Way? No Way! Old argument, same results. Just kidding, I bet they will add it, but combine it with some other money making add-on. Way points were great, and make a lot of sense. But they want dollars. Let's see if they charge for it, or for some strange reason just drop it.

  • @michaelboeren9184
    @michaelboeren9184 2 года назад

    Ever since the “big” update, even with the air sense on and all the settings being as the should be. I get no air maps! From what I heard a lot of m3 owners don’t either. Can you look into that please? Love your videos and I’m subscribing now. Drone On!

  • @dudemetoo2053
    @dudemetoo2053 2 года назад

    Way points is huge for me and why I'm still using my MP2 (with Litchi). I am able to run the same complex flight paths over and over, at different times of the day and different seasons during the year and create video transitions of the scenery that I could never do by hand .

    Great video and I’d love a cap! Actually would prefer a Mavic 3…LOL. But seriously as I look at my next drone, should it be Air 2S or the 3?

  • @SteveSRT
    @SteveSRT 2 года назад

    I’m not sure I would have even purchased the mavic 3 cine had I realized waypoints wouldn’t be added in the future. That’s my fault for not thoroughly checking though. It just seems insane they wouldn’t add that feature back to one of their higher end models.

  • @ronaldpeele7963
    @ronaldpeele7963 2 года назад

    Mavic 3 seems like the most premium drone to have right now but of course we are always looking for more. I’m really happy with the added features though. Thanks for sharing!

  • @Reurbo
    @Reurbo 2 года назад

    So I know it's been 2 months since this video and the Mavic 3 has had a few updates now. While looking through the settings under Hyperlapse there is a Waypoint option. Is this what he was talking about when saying they needed to add the feature? If so, DJI did the thing lol

  • @penultimatename6677
    @penultimatename6677 2 года назад

    A little bit off topic but about the Mavic 3. It is my understanding the internal storage is only for drone operations. Not used for videos. Then what is the terabyte advantage? I understand the other advantages of the Cin model. Understanding the two drones are the same. What is the need for a terabyte internal card? Assuming it is only used for the operation of the drone. I realize there obviously is a difference. Curious what it might be?

  • @MatthewHales
    @MatthewHales 2 года назад

    Yes, I really miss waypoints. The biggest benefit of that feature for me was it allowed me to decouple the shot path from the timing - especially of light. I could tweak the exact framing, composition, flight path, and speed, and then wait for a break in the clouds, or sun to set to the perfect dusk, and then capture the shot. Without waypoints I am far more reliant on luck when hoping to sync all of those elements of the perfect shot in real-time.

  • @matt-770

    Talking about the lack of waypoints just shows what an asinine decision DJI made when they coupled the M3 with the fly app.

    @charlesvigneau3701 2 года назад

    Thanks for the update. Yes I think waypoints would be great. Know you can get back to the exact same spot every time for me would be one step closer to prefect.
