***Note: I was told during my first review unit, that initial testing the 15km range was based off the RC PRO remote. This may have been updated to now be available with both Standard and RC Pro Remotes which is great news.
It would be at least good, considering everything they took off from the standard version, if they let some things as you suggested on your video as a bonus to the fly more version. It's really annoying that they didn't took care even of the color of the standard RC. Really a shame such kind of "economy decision".
It is! According to the online specs and the user manual the M3's version of the RC-N1 is 15km capable. I'm looking forward to a video as I seriously doubt that I will ever get mine anywhere close to 9 miles and never pushed my M2 more than 2.
That range us questionable using the RC N1 Controller. It's Occusync 2.0. RC N1 Specs on DJI Site. That controller re-hash is my biggest disappointment in the M3. Well, and that the RC Pro isn't bundled with anything but Cine. I bought 2 controllers, one I will never use, because 03+ is aircraft only as they sell it. Some O3+ protocols are utilized, but limited. Come on DJI!
@@BlairAir Information has been updated on the Mavic 3 Specifications page. Remote Controller Transmission System When using a different aircraft hardware configuration, the DJI RC-N1 remote controller will automatically select an update for that firmware version and work with the transmission technology available with the hardware capabilities of the associated aircraft model. a.

I lost my Yuneec Typhoon H+ with a back slider battery not locking in with a positive click. I flew it up and started going over water (my 2nd battery of the day). I flew full forward stick to where I was previously shooting from, and when I let the stick go, the drone tips back to stop and the battery slid out the back and the Typhoon followed soon after. Sadly there were no boats around to try to recover.
The hugest disappointment for me with the Mavic 3 that few YTers are talking about is the fact that the Smart Controller is not compatible with the Mavic 3 even through initially both the Mavic 2 Pro and the Mavic 3 are working under OcuSync 2. This is what is making the price of the Mavic 3 so ridiculously expensive is that it is forcing me to purchase the new RC Pro for $1,200.00 when there is nothing wrong with my Smart Controller. I do not need the new RC Pro controller even with the additional functionality. Yes I understand that you get a basic controller with the Mavic 3 but after using the Smart Controller I have no desire to ever go back to using a smart phone to fly my drone. It seems like so many of you guys, who are doing these reviews, just let this slide.
I have the same issue with the incredibly expensive Cendence controller with the Crystal Sky monitor. I spent as much on it as buying a Mavic 3, yet it has poor compatibility support with other models of drone, including the M3.
14:30 "a lot of people asking if you get the same 15KM distance with the non-pro remote, no you don't ..." .... well ? what distance DO you get with the non-pro remote ? is it only a little less, or a LOT less ?? wtf, you can't just say "no" and not tell what you DO get !?
I would have liked to see a 5D button on the Mavic 3 Classic as with cruse control & tilt & Zoom, these functions take up the C1, C2 & wheels @ top. It is nice to be able to control exposure while shooting video.
At 6:23 ...when the car goes across the bridge during your D-log grade wipe...can you tell me what the hell is happening with the color on the concrete. Is that in your footage or something RUclips is adding? This reminds me of some of the color artifacts Potato Jet noted in his review...but crazy worse.
What was that green tinge of color going across the street behind the car at 6:22? I've personally never liked DJI's color science, even their D-Log. I've always found it too difficult and annoying to grade. It would always be too green or too magenta at certain parts of the image or have artifacts that I just mentioned and the Mavic 3/Cine seems to be no different in that department which is unfortunate. I hope they fix this in the Jan update.
I noticed the front LEDs are constantly flashing red and green while in flight. Why is that? all of my previous MAVICs were solid red while in-flight. Any particular reason?
Just got my mavic 3. It's hard to turn phone on/off, when it is connected to the controller. You have to pull the phone away from the controller to push button.
Thanks Aldryn my cine arrives Thursday so this is a good prep for figuring some stuff out to hit the ground running. That gimbal guard is f’n hideous sorry that thing is going to drive me nuts I do not want that thing on it always have to figure out another option! Ruins the entire drone visually for me it’s like putting an ugly ass Otterbox case on a beautiful iPhone 13 Pro Max or something. 🤮🤮🤮 I have no idea why DJI didn’t use one of those new CineSSD drives like they have in the new Ronin 4D it just seems like DJI missed it on so many things and they had SO much time to do this perfectly. I don’t even want the smart controller either and DJI should have given us the option to which controller we wanted to choose when buying these packages so annoying! Amen you said they Shiite have matched the color of the standard remote too to that Mavic 3 grey was thinking exact same. Seriously that’s pathetic dropping ball on 1 yard line DJI fumble. Love your simplicity yet so informative format aloha man too. 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
good video as always. I think the obstacle avoidance is underrated and as people try it out some more esp. after the Jan software release, we'll come to appreciate it. I think it gives more confidence that the drone can get home if needed. Re this video I think you're right re the stability on the zoom lens and would add that the pans on that lens at 7x or higher are amazingly smooth when you consider how much a small impact has as that focal length. I know the footage and stills aren't great yet but it's completely amazing to me how stable the zoomed image is and how the stick control is translated into much smaller movements of the camera / drone to be able to have such fine control over the panning. I don't think people realize that just yet. Keep posting!
I was wondering if you tried the dual controller mode like used on the Mavic 2 Pro now that you have two controllers that work with the Mavic 3. Thanks for all the Mavic 3 info.
Can you tell me what the largest sd card that can be used on the basics Mavic 3 with the 8 gig internal? Iv not seen anything that gives that information. Thank You,
This is great . Thanks for the info . Yes Aldryn I said the same thing about the controller would of been nice to match the color. It was awesome to hangin with ya at Spinup bud.🤘🏻
OcuSync 2.0 vs. 03+. For the Mavic 3 controller, is 03+ only available if using the RC-Pro controller vs. the RC-N1 controller? On page 40 of the Mavic 3 manual, it states that "the remote controller uses OcuSync 2.0". Thus, if using the RC-N1 controller with the Mavic 3, will this reduce the maximum video transmission range (under perfect conditions)?
Question ..On my mavic 3 I have choppy footage on every flight, the color is fantastic as well as dynamic. Im using a Samsung pro card 256, its on the list of recommended cards. Any thoughts ? BTW great content !
DJI are the 'Apple Wanabees' in regards to the memory capacity. It would have been such a low cost for DJI to upgrade the internal storage from 8 to 16gb (or even 32gb) especially with the high cost starting at £1879, but no... they're holding back, like what Apple do, who are also very stubborn. I'm actually really disappointed they never did this, when they placed a really high 1TB in the Cine version!
So, unless you're willing to stroke a fat check to dji for a cine package, you're gonna be getting a crippled drone. Also, a 100gb internal storage for a fly more M3, and an option to buy the pro remote control would make sense. Edit** - I see the remote is available separately - for $1200! I'll be keeping my Mavic 2 Pro. Sheesh.
Thank you for the great video. I have a stupid question.If I were to capture prores, edit on the timeline and export my edit from final cut as H265, would I lose the whole benefit of having prores in the first place? Does the extra quality in prores remain even though the final project is in H265? Meaning the whole benefit of prores is the extra editing power but not the quality in the end? Thanks again. I thought this question on another video and I thought it was a great question but it was never answered. I realize you said normal color looks great, and I agree. I also know it’s 10-bit even in normal color when working with Prores. Thanks again man, great stuff.
Congratulations on your work. It's a shame that this drone only has Gps in open places. DJI doesn't know when or if it will solve the GPS problem of this drone. I bought it and I can't almost use it in the city of São Paulo Brazil 🇧🇷
Had to fight with the Fly More filters; did NOT clip I'm like Air 2/2S at all. Had to press tightly to the camera body, and took way too much force to turn. Every one, including the Clear UV one that acts as a cover. The lens Coating produces ugly, nasty looking lens flares and aberrations. Hopefully the replacement fly more coming Monday will be better. Cover strap tearing from missed stitches, wavy props (50% of all 3 sets and a tumor in the bag lining (probably a dead Chinese mouse, lol) Best of all ghosting on bottom wide angle sensors causing altitude climbs to max, with no corresponding stick input. I paid $3K for horrendous QC... Come on DJI. This is your Flagship Prosumer Drone?
Correction the normal controller operates using O3+ with the M3 and will got to O2 with dji mini The info can be found at the bottom of dji M3 specs. Range is 15km + with RCN1 and pro but the pro may do it at lower height due to signal power being able to penetrate objects better then N1
The microSD card interface is just slow. There are no industry standards for the bit rates needed for pro-rez sadly. Maybe myk question is there are SDCards from 100MB/s to 170MB/s (or faster). What should we be using? And BTW density doesn’t change the write speed typically and if it did it would make the device slower not faster. :(
Can you still update the MA3 firmware with the smart controller just like the basic controller with our phone would? And whats the range with the basic controller if only the smart controller can allow up to 15km?
LEDs are OFF on Air 2 /2S when recording. Not able to control that and leave them on however, so that control is a plus. My Drone cover strap was sewn poorly. The magnetic buckle is about to tear right off the strap as the sewn threads missed the elastic strap and are sewn on an angle. Nice QC there DJI for my THREE THOUSAND Dollars. I am getting a replacement from DJI in any event.
Hello Aldryn. I was wondering if you are having issues with your Mavic 3 cine unit. I so far havent had any issues. A lot of people are having issues like jerky movements, a not straight horizon, bad connection etc.
Just got my Mavic 3 yesterday. Did my first flight today. Found out that the video is broken into 3 minute clips. This is for 4k 30. I haven't heard any youtubers mention this. It's a pain an the ass watching them, and totally unnecessary.
Got a question...so when DJI sends out a drone for you'll and when I say you'll I mean content creators and influencers to review their product way before its released to the public do you'll get to keep the product or drone in this case? Like meaning its yours now. Now I understand that most times these drones are not running on the firmware that they will be running on when its officially released though. Great video always informative. Thanks again
They KEEP the drone. It is free to them for helping DJI promote their business. They ah e to be biased and say good things about the drone. And say negative things in a positive way. This is DJI's way if paying them to help them advertise their product. So, you need to have reputation and DJI will discover you and contact you if you are interested in FREE products if you will agree to make many videos and promote their drones.
Another thing no one has mentioned, is the CINE flight mode is not as good as the tripod mode in the original mavic. Tripod mode would only let you go 2.5 mph. In CINE mode I was going over 10 mph. So that's too fast to be flying in close proximity to people.
Al, I wonder if you would be interested in adopting this 74 yr old vet so I could get one of these..Ha ! I think DJI priced themselves outta the market..
Without autonomous waypoint, it's a deal breaker for me. I don't know how long I can hold on to old drones, but I need that function for my work. Can you recommend a drone for this purpose? I need something that can complete a mission even disconnected from the remote like the Mavic Pro.
Getting files out Mavic 3 Cine via thunderbolt cable is 6x faster then via Micro SD card. Which is really good time saver trying to see the videos in the field.
Another awesome excellent video. I should receive my Mavic 3 next week. It was a pleasure meeting you at SpinUp. I was lucky enough to get one of your bags at SpinUp. Love your little Mini Bag. Thank you.
Thanks for the review Aldryn. It seems to me, with everything you pointed out, that DJI didn't have any focus (or user) group input into the design and functionality of the new Mavic 3. It almost seems they had their product design person or team just go with whatever incremental changes they had on their minds and no real thought was given to redesigning or developing a new drone. So far, I've not been impressed or gotten that "WOW" feeling with the Mavic 3.
I hear the complaints especially about the price. Seeing as they are the apple of drones the demand is definitely there. Is the big complaint that they did not go for the 6k camera like the evo? I dunno, maybe the dual camera design is worth the tradeoff. I know that in a year or so I will be more than happy to grab one of these. I would now if price wasnt an issue for me.
Question, Is the SSD drive only used for ProRes? If I forget the SDCard can I save the video recording as if there were a SDCard installed and download the footage?
Great info thanks. Swiping on the screen to move the camera is brilliant on skydio 2. The drone Will just yaw when the gimbal reaches its limit, it works really smoothly. It’s a gd feature.
Trying to get the word out to fellow aerial mappers that I heard directly from DJI rep on the M3 team that waypoint missions won’t be possible, their mobile SDK will not be released for it and GSPro won’t support it. 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. We were planning to replace our whole fleet of P4Pros with these… returning ours now.
Yes i think they Appled us with the memory .. When you can buy a 32gb card for 35 bucks or cheaper im sure they can slap a 64gb for really cheap. But these are games they play to sting us along.
Awesome video always Aldrin...I am also glad that DJI went with the USB-C standard for charging the battery be it in the drone or charging hub. That was the main reason I've held off in getting the Air 2/2S since it has some kind of proprietary charger connector. Also it's good to see that the power supply is pretty small considering it puts out 65W I believe. Anker has a really really small 65W power supply that even smaller than the DJI one so if you really want to save on space there is that option
Is it worth investing 1,200 to get the smart controller for the basic fly more package? I don't need the ProRes or other options and may get the Tripltek 8 to use with the basic controller. You did answer the distance with the new controller, which is not a necessity for most of us.
I ordered one simply because my iPad mini doesn't seem to like the Arizona heat. I also like the idea of not having to mess around with getting the iPad all setup in the tablet holder, then into the controller. Maybe I'm just lazy... lol
@@yeahright2022 If I don't get the smart controller, I will get the Tripltek 8 which has 1200 nits of brightness compared to the smart controller's 1000 nits. However if the smart controller offers other needed benefits I will spring for it. I can't get or find any RUclipsr that will address that though, they just put a heart on my question.
@@vonheise I’ve had my RC pro for 2 days now and it’s honestly incredible. It’s certainly pricy but the convenience it affords is fantastic. No more setting up my iPad mount, installing it and having to worry about storing it.
User control of gimbal pan & tilt MP2, MA2 and A2S had a mechanical range of 100° -controllable range of 90° - On the Mavic 3, due to the size and mass of the camera, panning mechanical range is: -27° to 27° The controllable amount is a tiny portion of that: -5° to 5° -interesting that the indicator bar is the full 27° -perhaps they can open it up more. We won't get 90° though. As to color mode on Log recording. It's called "Color Display Assist" - DJI Academy video explains it, obviously another "Coming Soon" feature. To grab SD Card, remove the battery first. Easy peasy.
Great information, and thanks for sharing the details that many don't talk about in their videos. There are some surprises in the details. Thanks for sharing.

I've found it pretty easy to take the micro sd card out as long as the battery wasn't in the drone.
I found the same thing with micro SD card, I only did my first flight yesterday. I also have the Air 2S.
Appreciate the video. Looking forward to your future Mavic 3 vids 👍🏼
Brilliant video. Nowhere can I find this detailed info that one would normally only learn once purchased. Appreciate this video mate! 🚁

One thing every one knows is that it is very expensive .

14:30 "a lot of people asking if you get the same 15KM distance with the non-pro remote, no you don't ..." .... well ? what distance DO you get with the non-pro remote ? is it only a little less, or a LOT less ?? wtf, you can't just say "no" and not tell what you DO get !?
Since _D-Log_ is a proprietary log profile by DJI itself I wonder if we can get D-Log without the Cine drone.
I would have liked to see a 5D button on the Mavic 3 Classic as with cruse control & tilt & Zoom, these functions take up the C1, C2 & wheels @ top. It is nice to be able to control exposure while shooting video.

great video, reason it can't write ProRes to card is there are no cards fast enough for the bandwidth.
Ya too slow. Requires SSD
They HAVE to fix the D-log shooting to allow the full iso range . Huge deal for me as I’m flying mine
Tip.... Remove the battery before trying to remove the SD Card.. :)
I think your cases are great - no option though to post them to UK - would you consider it ? (please!)

They did do a SSD slot removal on the Ronin Chicken 4, really should did that in this one too slide like the battrey
Does Standart M3 FlyMOreCombo works with CrystalSky monitor ? If Yes, can you make a video ?

Hello Aldryn. I was wondering if you are having issues with your Mavic 3 cine unit. I so far havent had any issues. A lot of people are having issues like jerky movements, a not straight horizon, bad connection etc.
Maybe: 23 things you don't have on Mavic 3...
1. Software :))))....and I leave the rest to continue...
Is the Mavic 3 backwards compatible with the original Smart Controller (Mavic Pro 2)?
Just got my Mavic 3 yesterday. Did my first flight today. Found out that the video is broken into 3 minute clips. This is for 4k 30. I haven't heard any youtubers mention this. It's a pain an the ass watching them, and totally unnecessary.

So, you need to have reputation and DJI will discover you and contact you if you are interested in FREE products if you will agree to make many videos and promote their drones.
Another thing no one has mentioned, is the CINE flight mode is not as good as the tripod mode in the original mavic. Tripod mode would only let you go 2.5 mph. In CINE mode I was going over 10 mph. So that's too fast to be flying in close proximity to people.
Al, I wonder if you would be interested in adopting this 74 yr old vet so I could get one of these..Ha ! I think DJI priced themselves outta the market..
There's only 1 thing you need to know about Mavic 3 - its an unfinished piece of junk. Stay with Mavic 2 pro.
Without autonomous waypoint, it's a deal breaker for me. I don't know how long I can hold on to old drones, but I need that function for my work. Can you recommend a drone for this purpose? I need something that can complete a mission even disconnected from the remote like the Mavic Pro.
Getting files out Mavic 3 Cine via thunderbolt cable is 6x faster then via Micro SD card. Which is really good time saver trying to see the videos in the field.
I may purchase the Mavic 3, once it is fully developed. I'd say spring is the time to buy.
I wish i could just completely turn off the lights to save battery life
I really want the rc pro controller but 2000 extra that stupid like maybe 500 dollars does it really have to be worth more then a phone
Is it possible to record both ProRes and regular h.265 at the same time? So recording to the SSD and SD?
Hello, can I buy the RC controller for the basic version of the MAV3
Once again, thanks. Outstanding work. Inspiring stuff!
Looking forward to the review of the rc pro. If you can try to let us know how we can install Google play store?
Great info here! And those cases are pretty snazzy too for my Air 2 when I don't want to lug around the 3. Thanks!
Hi sir, please make a companion between Mavic Air 2, Air 2S and Mavic 3 😊
Does Mavic 3 have dual imu like the previous Mavic 2 model ?, this is important
👍👍✌️. Great in depth review. This bad boy is still on my wish list.
Is there a Portrait Capture mode in Mavic3/Fly App?
Another awesome excellent video. I should receive my Mavic 3 next week. It was a pleasure meeting you at SpinUp. I was lucky enough to get one of your bags at SpinUp. Love your little Mini Bag. Thank you.
Great meeting you Ray
17:49 - "I don't see why they just can't let me go all the way up to 420😏💨"
Excellent info. Thank you sir!
Have you looked at the different video modes? Wondering if there is any aliasing
The Mavic 2 remote has much more functions than this RC-N1.
Thrilled for the upcoming features on the Mavic 3. This drone’s already impressive to me but there’s always room for improvement.
I hope i had a mavic 3 also.. but thats only a dream.. cannot afford
I have a mavic pro 2 smart Controller, can it be used with the mavic 3 ?
Thanks for the review Aldryn. It seems to me, with everything you pointed out, that DJI didn't have any focus (or user) group input into the design and functionality of the new Mavic 3. It almost seems they had their product design person or team just go with whatever incremental changes they had on their minds and no real thought was given to redesigning or developing a new drone. So far, I've not been impressed or gotten that "WOW" feeling with the Mavic 3.
I hear the complaints especially about the price. Seeing as they are the apple of drones the demand is definitely there. Is the big complaint that they did not go for the 6k camera like the evo? I dunno, maybe the dual camera design is worth the tradeoff. I know that in a year or so I will be more than happy to grab one of these. I would now if price wasnt an issue for me.
Looking forward to this 👍
Will you be making a Flytcase for the Mavic 3?
Wow nice unboxing⬆️⬆️⬆️🇹🇩🤗💚
Question, Is the SSD drive only used for ProRes? If I forget the SDCard can I save the video recording as if there were a SDCard installed and download the footage?
No you can record everything to it
how did you tranfer cine prores files to the computer?
Really useful video. Thanks for sharing
Thnx bro i like ur reviews 😊god product you
Is this compatible with dji Googles?
Nice La Jolla Cove shot too!👍
Great info thanks. Swiping on the screen to move the camera is brilliant on skydio 2. The drone Will just yaw when the gimbal reaches its limit, it works really smoothly. It’s a gd feature.
Trying to get the word out to fellow aerial mappers that I heard directly from DJI rep on the M3 team that waypoint missions won’t be possible, their mobile SDK will not be released for it and GSPro won’t support it. 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. We were planning to replace our whole fleet of P4Pros with these… returning ours now.
too bad its still a tad slower than the mavic 2 pro
When are you going to have the Mavic 3 cases?
Yes i think they Appled us with the memory .. When you can buy a 32gb card for 35 bucks or cheaper im sure they can slap a 64gb for really cheap. But these are games they play to sting us along.
Excelente informacion. Gracias.
The drone does vertical photos or video?
Awesome video always Aldrin...I am also glad that DJI went with the USB-C standard for charging the battery be it in the drone or charging hub. That was the main reason I've held off in getting the Air 2/2S since it has some kind of proprietary charger connector. Also it's good to see that the power supply is pretty small considering it puts out 65W I believe. Anker has a really really small 65W power supply that even smaller than the DJI one so if you really want to save on space there is that option
Totally agree
Is it worth investing 1,200 to get the smart controller for the basic fly more package? I don't need the ProRes or other options and may get the Tripltek 8 to use with the basic controller. You did answer the distance with the new controller, which is not a necessity for most of us.
I ordered one simply because my iPad mini doesn't seem to like the Arizona heat. I also like the idea of not having to mess around with getting the iPad all setup in the tablet holder, then into the controller. Maybe I'm just lazy... lol
@@yeahright2022 If I don't get the smart controller, I will get the Tripltek 8 which has 1200 nits of brightness compared to the smart controller's 1000 nits. However if the smart controller offers other needed benefits I will spring for it. I can't get or find any RUclipsr that will address that though, they just put a heart on my question.
@@vonheise I’ve had my RC pro for 2 days now and it’s honestly incredible. It’s certainly pricy but the convenience it affords is fantastic. No more setting up my iPad mount, installing it and having to worry about storing it.
Sir do giveaway contest
Due we know all of these nothing new
yeah....not gonna buy this.
Thank you!!!
Nice Drone DJI..
User control of gimbal pan & tilt MP2, MA2 and A2S had a mechanical range of 100° -controllable range of 90° - On the Mavic 3, due to the size and mass of the camera, panning mechanical range is: -27° to 27° The controllable amount is a tiny portion of that: -5° to 5° -interesting that the indicator bar is the full 27° -perhaps they can open it up more. We won't get 90° though. As to color mode on Log recording. It's called "Color Display Assist" - DJI Academy video explains it, obviously another "Coming Soon" feature. To grab SD Card, remove the battery first. Easy peasy.
Great information, and thanks for sharing the details that many don't talk about in their videos. There are some surprises in the details. Thanks for sharing.
