Drone Overview — DJI Mavic 3

The DJI Mavic 3 is a compact, foldable drone built around a Type 4/3 (Four Thirds) sensor delivering 20 MP still images at a maximum resolution of 5280×3956 px. The camera system is powered by the Hasselblad Natural Color Solution (HNCS) image processor, bringing color science to aerial imaging with support for D-Log, HLG, Normal, and Hasselblad NCS color profiles — available in both photo and video modes. On the video side, the Mavic 3 captures up to 5.1K footage at frame rates ranging from 24fps all the way up to 120fps, with 10-bit color depth for greater post-production flexibility.

Stabilization is handled entirely by gimbal stabilization rather than electronic IS, keeping footage smooth without digital cropping. The drone's autofocus system uses Vision Detection Auto Focus (VDAF) and supports subject tracking, making it well-suited for dynamic aerial shots. It runs on a DJI Intelligent Flight Battery (LiPo 4S 5000mAh) rated for up to 46 minutes of flight time.

Storage is covered via internal storage and microSD, with USB-C connectivity for data transfer. The body is constructed from plastic composite, weighs 895g, and folds down to 221×96.3×90.3 mm for transport. No weather sealing is present.
