Excellent presentation Jake! We indelibly agree with your takes! Thank you! ;-) T (PS. Love the collaboration with Jeven, Aldryn, Russ, Billy, and Mike! Much respect for all!)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks to everyone in your review for the validation...it took me a year and the debut of the Classic to finally replace my trusty Mavic Air. No regrets for sure!
Awesome!! Glad to hear it
I would love to have that zoom lens but I can't rationalize replacing my air 2s
The air 2s is still such a fantastic drone!
It's usually a good idea to only have what you need.
Always enjoy your reviews brother, keep up the good work
Thank you
excellent channel, taught me a lot about how to see and capture the scene.
thanks Jake
Thank you very much
Thank you to all the cinematic creators that took time out of their busy schedules to give you what they think of the Mavic 3 after about a year. Master of fact, if I were to be super honest, is thanks to Aldryn, Billy, Russ, and yourself, Jake, that ultimately made me decide to to jump from the Mini 1 all the way up to the M3 and I don't regret that at all.
oh wow thats quite a jump but definitely worth it!
I made the jump from watching my friend/film maker Anthony's mavic 2 fly his drone to me wanting one and getting the Mavic 3! Cool drone, packed with features.
Awesome
Great review... So happy with my Mavic 3 and it's becoming my main go to drone... And with the RC Pro... Wow! Completes my fleet (Air 2s and Mini 3 Pro). Thanks for sharing!
same here and thanks for the kind words!
I like that you brought droners to implement their opinions.
thanks
Great long term review. The Mavic 3 is definitely an impressive drone. You’ve captured amazing shots 🤩.
Awesome job 👍👍
thank you very much!
Great effort putting this together, well done Jake,
Thanks!
An absolutely epic drone! It's come far since its initial release! Fantastic video and collaboration of other RUclipsrs.
Thanks a ton!
Alright, got the Dream Team together! I watch all you guy's for great info. I'm very happy with my Mavic 3! Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Superb video from superb creators about a superb drone, love it Jake 💪
Thank you!
Your footage is absolutely amazing!
Thank you so much and pretty much the same here, I have been through several mavics due to eagles, and buildings and I don't think I would get the classic just because I do use that tele camera so much
Thanks for this amazing recap Jake!
you're welcome
Many thanks Jake - your video confirms that the Mavic 3 is an absolute BEAST!
Love the way that you invited your colleagues to add value too - brilliant and thank you.
My pleasure!
One the best reviews of the mavic 3 on RUclips
Definitely going to check out your winter flying tips
video for use here in valdez with my Mav 3 cine.
Awesome, thank you!
Great collab Jake. Really enjoyed this.
I love my Mavic 3. Came from the P4Pv2 which was a solid performer but the M3 is next level. Oh and thanks to you, I also own a set of the Split ND filters by Freewell. Thanks for pointing this out in one of your other videos.
Awesome so glad to hear you are enjoying both the drone and the filters!
Great review! The M3 really is the best drone out there right now and I wouldn't use anything less. I am absolutely amazed at the shots that can be produced with the tele lens after the firmware updates. Really appreciated the multiple creators in one video! Also just wanted to mention that your previous review on the M3 is what influenced me to get it...really enjoy your reviews!
so glad to hear it!!
I really need to get the Mavic 3. Thanks for the Chicago shot that included the building I used to live in. 👍
Oh thats awesome!
Awesome collaboration!
Thank you very much
Thanks for this timely update. Even though I am not privileged enough to be among these esteemed creators, let me give you my review after owning it since Aug 2022.
I bought the M3 standard to upgrade from the reliable M2Pro. I wanted to up my game and do high rez photos plus cinematic videos in 4k60 that the M2Pro couldn’t do. The quality of the pics especially at night blew me away as it had a much higher dynamic range and far less noise at iso 200/ 2secs.
The battery lasts longer and it’s heavier which makes the drone more stable while flying.
The extended flight time of 30+ mins and above has been a game changer for me as I am able to get the shots, take videos, plus still have time to search for shots that I didn’t pre plan for.
The waypoints has been very useful and so I plan to use it more for the rest of the year as well as hyperlapse.
My only disappointment is that the regular controller may lack the range I sometimes want in city areas so I will eventually need the RCPro. For the time being I’ve invested in the intermediate RC. Greetings from Jamaica 🎉❤
agreed and thanks for your thoughts on it! I need to do a video comparing the two remotes because range is definitely more of an issue with the DJ RC over the RC pro
@@JakeSloan please do Jake as the RCPro is not cheap!
Nicely done. Loved the B-Roll and the special guests. Mavic 3 is by far my favorite drone and will probably be my last drone I purchase because its that good.
you've been capturing some great stuff with yours! I only wish I had listened to you early on and just went straight for the Cine model lol
Great job , Jake! Thanks!
Thank you!
Great review! I must say that after owning the Mavic3 for a year then losing it, then after replacing it, I still went with the standard version because, I to find myself using the tele lens more often to capture more creative depth shots for my projects. It’s the only drone I care about using at this time.
How did you lose it? Care to tell as I find it to be very stable and all those sensors are a major upgrade
Jake, thank you for your excellent long term review of the Mavic 3. I appreciate how you included other well know creators in your review. As always, I thank you for your fair and balanced reviews.
Thank you so much Steve!
Fantastic review Jake very informative, and using the views of the other creators was a brilliant idea, can't wait to get mine
I hope you enjoy it!
This was a wonderful review. If you presented this to 200 people in a conference room, drone owners who were not sure if they wanted to buy any one of the Mavic 3’s, at the conclusion, everyone of them would be lined up at the DJI window in the back of the room making their purchases. I just called to my wife, “Honey, come here; you have to watch this.” Cheers from Wisconsin to you and your colleagues.
Thanks George!
Jake, as good of a drone shooter as you are, and as adventurous as you are, It's no surprise to me that you have "The Man" ,, Jeven Dovy and all the other cool guys that I like and watch all the time, sitting in on this production. Great job and it made it even more interesting that you did that. What really blew me away, is what you said at the end of the video. Selling all or most of your other drones, and mainly using this drone. Wow, coming from a guy like you, that really says something. I'm only a serious amateur, but I have the DJI zoom, Air 2, Air 2 s, original old Mavic and the Autel Lite. I like all of them, but I'm almost thinking of selling a few of them and buying the Mavic 3. Thanks for another great video and keep up the good work. Marc T.
thanks Marc!
Great video Jake. I waited over a year before I pulled the trigger to get mine. Kind around the time cruise control and night mode came out......👍
Awesome!!
Way to go Jake! I love my Mavic 3.
thanks and I agree!
Good long term review Jake
Thanks Lyn!!
Hey, wasn’t this supposed to be a 1 year review? What the heck took so long?! 😊
ROFL, oh I don't know maybe is was me waiting to see if I could film the aurora to include the footage in this video, either that or it was trying to get other creators to send me their videos 😂
Thanks Jake. Great review! I guess my next task is to make my Mini 3 Pro earn enough money to pay for a Mavic 3. Those were strong testimonials. Oh, and by the way, I bought the Backlight 36 L you reviewed and now have my M3P, batteries, charger, Nikon D7000 and all my lenses in one backpack. Your reviews really do help!
oh fantastic news! I am glad to hear the 36L has been good for you. I use my think tank backpacks every day for the last 3 years or more and they are still going strong
Great review!
Thanks!
That was a great video Jake! I'm glutting on Mavic 3 videos right now and this one was top notch. Currently have the Air 2S and it's been a great starter drone, but the images out of the camera aren't up to my standards and I'm looking at the Mavic 3 Classic as my next drone. Now if they would just go on sale :).
It would be a big upgrade and hopefully they go on sale soon!
Absolutely agree ! Hello from Finland! I work a lot for clients but have not yet launched my channel about drones and aerial photography. Thank you for the video !
Awesome!!
NIce collaboration!
Thanks!!
Hello Jake. You have great content please keep up the great work. I do have a question about the mavic 3 cine and would like to know what shutter speed are you using on slow motion video
Depends on what you want to do with the footage after durning editing. If you plan to slow the 120FPS down to match 30FPS then you want to shoot with a shutter speed of 1/240
Thank you very much. You remember me, which fantastic Drone the m3 is. Was thinking before this Clip of a change to Air 3.
I will have a review of the Air 3 very soon and of course comparison videos coming as well
I watch all these guys channel’s over the years and have gotten some great advice for my drone hobby and I can tell you that the Mavic 3 is the very best and once you have experienced how well engineered it is and how well it performs or experience the final results it can deliver you really can’t understand how far advanced it is compared to both DJI’s other line up or even what Autel has to offer ,it’s really that good I know it’s expensive compared to the others but it really delivers for me ,I wouldn’t have left a comment otherwise…great video thanks
Thank you very much
I bet DJI will buy this video! On a different note, I can’t see myself buying another drone until the main camera has the same sensor size as a FF camera and the 2nd lens is 4/3 or when the lens become exchangeable
that would be amazing and I hope we get there some day on the cameras!
Fine video. I have had the classic since a few weeks and in Europe it is C1 certified (
Awesome!
Very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing
Thanks
Aloha Jake it’s richie once again from Kaua’i. I swear I would love nothing more than to partake in another DJI. I love flying my DJI, where I can here, so much. My biggest hangup is the Geo fencing I do have an autel and have bitten from the forbidden fruit. Ha ha ha. And I mean this in the sincerest way how much of a responsible operator I am. But without sounding as typical as it is, that is my greatest hangup. Once again, Mahalo to you and all the other creators that shared their informational pieces!
Nice and thanks!!
About to shoot an indie film. I own a mavic 2 pro. Trying to decide if I should upgrade and to whitch Mavic 3... thoughts?
It’s a pretty good upgrade. I’ve shot 3 indie films with mine and everyone was very happy with the footage.
Would you go for the Mavic 3 or the Air 3? I have a 2s and am filming kitesurfing so I need zoom to get close without getting caught in the kite lines. I also film in 25-35mph winds
I have a video coming next week about exactly this!
Enjoyed the video, that being said it would have been cooler if you had some smaller channels giving opinions on the Mavic 3! Giving them some exposure as well.
Thanks for the idea!
Well worth it!
Agreed!
Great review!
Is no-one talking about the wild hyperlapse at 3:30 where the foreground spins one way the mid ground spins the other way and the back ground is virtually at standstill.
How'd you do that Jake
LOL thats actually the tide moving the ice in the water around which ended up being a really cool effect
The Mavic 3 is a great drone, IF you get a good one. I'm surprised to see no RUclipsrs talking about the huge color issues this drone has. Either most people don't see it, or don't want to see it. I recently had to return a M3 classic for this issue. I then started to do research and there are several topics on the DJI forums with people with similar issues: weird big magenta and green spots on the image. Not so much visible in video, but super annoying in photo. My M2 or M3mini do not have these issues, at all. And I am not the only one, almost ALL of my friends with the M3 have these issues. And they're super difficult to get rid of. You have to use a lot of gradients and play with the color calibration to get a 'decent' image. Now it appears the Cine version doesn't have it most of the time, while the M3 classic most versions have it. This is a known problem, and it's known to DJI for years already. Yet, they don't seem to care about it. Therefore, I would greatly discourage new people from buying a M3 drone. Unless you have the time to try out 5+ drones at the store and hope you get one without these weird color issues. I might make a RUclips video about it simply to show this issue and create awareness.
I have had a total of 6 mavic 3's now and none of them have had those issues and how could it have been "known by DJI for years" when the drone has only been on the market about a year and a half?
I have actually seen a video in German about the same issue showing that the photos taken from the Mavic2 Pro are actually better when comes to color issues on the edges and sharpness whereas the Mavic3 seems to have better dynamic range. So the issue seems to be real. Since I primarily do videos, it’s no such a big deal for me though.
How hard is it to film a moving target on the 7x? I saw you got that para glider… is it super tricky or is it feasible to use regularly?
It’s quite tricky
Excellent video. I really want to purchase the mavic 3 with telelens, including the rc pro and the combo kit. But sofar no package or discount available?
not yet
@@JakeSloan anything coming?
Great video Jake ! Which model were you using at around 0:47 - 1:20 ? The standard or the Cine ? Quality is outstanding, very "film-like" or did you put some filmgrain or sg else in post ? Thanks !
thats a combination of cine and normal depending on the shot and which one I am referring to in the moment. they were color graded using my LUTs which I will be releasing soon!
@@JakeSloan OK, some of your shots seem to be much higher quality, comparing to other shots, and the other vloggers' footage in this video and MY Mavic 3 footage....I guess these good ones were the ProRes shots...Which is obvious in a way, but strange in an other, because in many reviews Cine owners stated that the difference is negligible between the quality of the M3 and the M3C - ProRes shots... well it looks like they were wrong. ( And I mean the 24mm lens shots, not the tele.)
I’ve been considering the Mavic three after flying with the Mini Pro for a while. But I’m wondering if there is going to be a mavic 4 later this year. Any thoughts on this?
I don't think we will see a Mavic 4 till 1.5 to 2 years from now
@@JakeSloan Thank you. That is helpful.
I love my Mavic 3! I have a question what happened to AirSense?
it's still on there in the USA but you can turn it off
hi what's your opinion on the dji rc vs. dji rc pro? Is that big difference in pricing worth it?
Working on that video now!
Random shot of the ore docks in Marquette
Lol and near the light house too
I really want the Mavic 3 pro but since it's over 900 grams it can be a real hassle to use here in Europe (and the Netherlands specifically) the air 3 can't use my mini 3 pro controller and I'd like the footage. How long do you think it'll take till they release a hassleblad main + 3x telelens? Still don't know what to do. Using it for business + private
I think that might not happen any time soon unfortunately
Well I knew going into watching this video that it would make me want to write bad checks! 😅 But seriously I can afford it now it's just I'm still happy with my Air2S and it makes me money. One huge thing about the Mavic 3 is the low light capability and my clients are asking for this more and more. And they want "clean" video. So maybe a few more jobs and it makes more business sense I will write that check! 😅
LOL well honestly the Air 2s is still a fantastic drone but yes the low light ability of the mavic 3 is a pretty good step up
Can you use the DJI RC controller with the Mavic 3, thanks Kev.
yes you can
@@JakeSloan Thanks mate.
Hi Jake
I never touched a drone before, but now I want to buy it Don’t want to
spend a crazy amount of money. Just a good drone with good quality camera and good features. Would you be able to recommend me one with them in the budget
Thank you
I would take a good look at the mini 2 se
All good comments (except for Russ - found out a long time ago he’s got some anger in him lol). One question is if you own the Cine, why even use D-Log? Prores Normal color would give you enough to work with no? Thanks again Jake.
Prores normal is not the full 10bit 422 color so you do lose the ability to push as much
@@JakeSloan Thank you Jake. I appreciate the insight!
Well wort the money Jake!
agreed!
Can you use digital zoom in still pictures
no only optical zoom then in post you will need to crop in
@@JakeSloan thank you
So you mean only the 1x and 7 x from the two cameras nothing in between or above basically
Wonder why it’s only in video mode the digital zoom
it's the best drone for youtubers like us bro
It’s pretty good!
3:57 I can't figure out what's happening there. Is that water?
yes thats a glacier pool she is floating in! They really are that blue in person
@@JakeSloan That's amazing! And cold! 🥶
Any word on Mavic 4 Jake? I can wait 4 to 6 months. Getting Mavic 3 Pro seems a little waste at this stage. I have Mavic 3. But need that X3. Get rid of Air 3.
If I had to guess I would guess the Mavic 4 is 18months away minimum
@@JakeSloanAppreciate the response. Mavic 3 Pro it is. ❤
WOW !! great review Sir!!; new to your channel however well done as there are no doubt a number of us looking for guidance on the best financial investment regarding Drones!; thank you......................
Glad it was helpful!
It's as if all the avengers gathered to comment on the infinity gauntlet!
hahahahahaha but kinda true
Mavic 3 pro videos popping up like mushrooms soon
true lol
Just hate the fact it won't let you turn off landing protection! The most irritating thing about the drone for me.
Besides that it's very good. However courses lock would be good as well, two things we had in the Mavic 2 Pro.
Agreed!
Can I have your drone?
I use them both
@@JakeSloan What is your preferred drone and what other drones do you have?
Just a very hard-sell advertisement for Mavic 3 only~ no drone is 100% perfect, and this drone also has its own cons as well~
this is the best drone on the market at the moment also I talk about the conditions Ive tested it in if you bothered to watch the video...
@@JakeSloan Yes~ I agree with you, the Mavic 3 sure is the best drone on the market, but in this video you give me a very hard sell feeling~ just like a DJI sponsored advertisement~ ha ha~ I'm your subscriber since the Air 2S launched~
I can't disagree with you more on the RC . Putting images straight to my phone leaves far more options for editing and transfering to pc. The only people who like this control is tuber's and newly owned Mini 3pro owners 😊
Well there is that lol
You are Rght 😂😂😂 555🎉🎉🎉🤙🤙🤙
Cheers
ALL HAVE 1 YER ONLY NEW MAKE REVIVE , LOL
if you bothered to watch the video I and others talk about durability and what kind of conditions I've tested it in
@@JakeSloan good drone mavic 3 better air3
No a review …more like an infomercial
very much a review, including information like durability testing over time
As a mavic 3 owner, this feels like a DJI Chinese CCP funded commercial. Hail communism I guess...
Oh. my. god. really… 🙄 if there was a better product on the market I’d be talking about it instead. BUT there isn’t
I am looking for professional drones not made in china for peacekeeping. DJI is full of security flaws.,.
