    DJI has just released the long awaited Mavic 3, and there are some mixed feelings. While there are some improvements on the camera, range and flight time, it really doesn't justify the ridiculous price. Even a huge DJI fan, like myself are having doubts, but if the ActiveTrack 5.0 can keep up with the Skydio and become the King of Autonomous flight... that might just make me stay on DJI for a while longer.

    The extra flight time on the Mavic 3 is a big thing IMO. Of all the new features the Mavic 3 has, the extended battery life is one I'm happiest about!

    • @JeremyToh
      @JeremyToh  2 года назад +1

      This is definitely a 2 Battery type of Drone. We did a hover test against the Mavic Mini 2, there's an extra 8 minutes difference. And from real life flights... the battery life we are getting is truly remarkable, not having to come back to swap battery is a bonus. However, we had a couple of experience flyaway moments during mild winds... which is something very awkward. I've never experience that on my Mavic 2. *sigh*

  • @Mike0193Azul

    If Sony go into the drone game they’d rule them out. One of the only companies I see putting out their best technology on newer products and not caring about “competing” with their other older more expensive models. The mini 3 pro from dji for example is fantastic but clearly they opted to not letting it be better than say the air 2s, which it definitely could have been. And they still got away with raising the prices a ton

    Hi, do you know what's going on with my Mavic 3. When obstacle avoidance sensors are on and I'm flying with not an obstacle in sight-flying over farmland with just a few crops and trees below, the drone starts flying really erratically, like it tips sideways and doesn't maintain speed. It sounds like a car lurching with its motors going in and out. And when I'm not even touching the stick that controls altitude, it suddenly gains altitude on my screen. I was at 80metres and then next time I look it's suddenly shot up to 115m!

    I’m just thrilled we have free markets to decide what we want to buy or not buy, and plenty of online reviews to help in that decision. A very tempting alternative to the M3 is the Air2S combined with the RC Pro remote for $1749. I haven’t decided which direction I’m headed yet…

    Interchangeable lenses? I don't see that. You can put a piece of glass in front of the lens to make it more wide angle but that is NOT interchangeable. DJI's Inspire 2 is currently the only rig they make that has actual interchangeable lenses, which for a pro is a night and day difference.

    Overpriced? First you got the surface area of the sensor wrong compared to 1". Second buy a 4/3 camera and look what it costs :> And then it does not fly :D It is not expensive for what you get. And the missing features are coming soon. Nobody will be talking about this in a few months.

    Jeremy, new subscriber here.. I fly an Air 2S, and that was too expensive. DJI has made me decide to stop buying from them period, not because they don't make good drones, but because they are out of touch with reality. I'm not going to sell my 2S, but my next drone will probably be an Autel or Skydio - who knows, by then there may be a new drone company that focuses on customers and not CORK SNIFFING! The M3 (with fly more) is not worth over $2K IMO.

    • @JeremyToh
      @JeremyToh  2 года назад +1

      Thanks for subscribing. Before DJI, I had a Parrot Bebop and it flew away one day, on a strong gust of wind. It was really unreliable. It had a gigantic remote, that looked like you were ordering a drone strike. So when Mavic 1 came out, it was like the iPhone launch, there was backorder everywhere. It came 4 months later, and I was blown away how good it was, and so are the M2 and Air2S. But this $2K.. they better be shooting missile or at least know how to dodge them. And my first couple of test on the ActiveTrack 5.0 seems decent, it appears like it knows how to dodge trees, but is that feature enough to ask for $2k? The market will decide.
