DJI Mavic 3 Classic + DJI RC Controller drone

DJI Mavic 3 Classic + DJI RC Controller

With the DJI Mavic 3 Classic bundle, you can stay in the air for 46 minutes. The drone is similar to its bigger sister Mavic 3 Compared to this, there is just a single camera mounted on a 3-axis gimbal. The budget version of DJI’s flagship model is a device that meets all the basic requirements for professional-grade aerial photography. The drone is fitted with a 20-megapixel camera featuring a 4/3″ CMOS sensor. The optics are provided by the legendary camera manufacturer Hasselblad.

Video quality in the wide-angle module stretches to 5.1K resolution, and for other resolutions it's worth mentioning perhaps DCI 4K at 120 frames per second. 12.8 apertures of dynamic range and an adjustable aperture of f/2.8-f/11 open up a wide range of possibilities for the creative mind. The copter can handle almost any reasonable lighting situation and even in low light it copes quite well. VDAF (Vision Sensor) focus and an 84° angle of view allow you to capture wide atmospheric situations or track and focus on a subject with ease. The stunning signal produced by the quad would be nothing without a good codec and colour profile, and they are good. The 10-bit D-Log colour profile and Hasselblad's NCS (Natural Color Solution) is an impressive combination. The colours are accurate and wide.

The image is stunning but even more stunning is the flight characteristics of the helicopter. Obstacle avoidance technology has come a long way since the Mavic 2. There are sensors in every direction, and the flight time promised for this thing is 46 minutes (in studio conditions, but still). The range is said to be up to 15 kilometres. As the device goes down nicely it's pretty much guaranteed to be with you if you need a copter on a gig.

Hasselblad Natural Color Solution shows what years of experience in image production can do. HNCS starts at the pixel level of the sensor. Each pixel is calibrated as the RGB data passes through the image and colour process as you shoot. The result is content that is natural but accurate without colour presets.

Advanced RTH ie return to home. The crowning glory of a perfect day of shooting is when the helicopter comes home safely. Thanks to advanced return home technology, this happens on every flight. The return home feature is activated when you want it or when the signal is lost. On the way home, Mavic 3 plans the optimal route back, avoiding obstacles along the way.

Live view is possible via the new RC-N1 controller and your mobile device at up to 1080p60. Not only can you already see what you're getting in fullHD resolution, but the control of the chopper is also snappy.

Unsurprisingly, the Mavic 3 Classic remains very steady when you want to take long exposures or time-lapse photos.

DJI RC Smart Controller

DJI RC is DJI's latest remote control with display for drones. The screen eliminates the need for a separate smartphone to fly the drone. In addition to the accurate FullHD display, the controller features an ultra-long battery life and new dual-spring joysticks. All this is packed into a surprisingly compact and lightweight body. So far, the controller is compatible with at least Mini 3 Pron and Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine -with copters. In the future, DJI will also add support for more helicopters.

With helicopters using DJI O3+ connectivity technology, the controller provides lag-free FHD 1080p/60fps live video up to 15km connection range. Compared to the phone used with conventional controllers, the DJI RC's screen is much more comfortable to view the drone's image, with no extra fiddling to install the phone. The screen is 5.5 inches in size and capable of up to 700 nits of brightness.

With the new battery design, the controller's battery lasts up to four hours, allowing you to shoot in more places without charging the controller in between. Dual-spring joysticks make controlling the drone smoother and more precise than ever before. The controller has a built-in USB-C port for charging and upgrades, and a microSD card slot for storage.
