Compare the DJI Mavic 3 Classic to the DJI Mavic 3

The DJI Mavic 3 Classic has 1 lens, which is a Hasselblad wide-angle lens with a 24mm image angle. This way, you can make recordings of broad landscapes. You can fly over a nature area and record videos in which you see deer running from afar. The camera has a 4/3-inch sensor, so you can record smooth images in 5.1K resolution at 50 fps. You can use the unique cruise control function with the Mavic 3 Classic , so the drone flies a preset course and records stable images.

With the DJI Mavic 3, you can record wide-angle images and zoomed-in images. That's because this drone has a Hasselblad wide-angle lens and a Hasselblad telephoto lens. The maximum image angle of the telephoto lens is similar to that of a 162mm lens. You can use it to zoom in up to 28 times. You can make recordings of landscapes with the wide-angle lens, but you can also record wild animals up close with the telephoto lens. This drone has the same sensor as the DJI Mavic 3 Classic, so you can record in 5.1K resolution at 50 fps.

With the DJI Mavic 3 Classic, you can fly in the open A1 class, because it has a C1 label. You need to follow a basic light drone course for this. With this drone, you can fly in places where you can normally only fly with lighter drones. For example, you can fly over people and closer to buildings. This allows you to make creative and personal recordings, for example on a city trip. You can never fly over crowds with a drone.

You can control the DJI Mavic 3 if you completed a basic drone course. This course is a bit more expensive than the basic light course. After this, you can fly in the open A2 class. That means you must keep 50 horizontal meters distance from people. Do you prefer to fly in the open A1 class? You can update your DJI Mavic 3 via the DJI app to the C1 label. You can then fly in the open A2 class and follow the more affordable basic light course. Both drones can't fly higher than 120m and you must always keep them in view.

You can easily expand the 8GB internal memory with a micro SD card up to 256GB. You can record in the H.264 or H.265 format, which compressed videos a lot. This way, you'll get a smaller file size and you can store many different images on the SD card. Do you want to go out with your drone for a whole day? Bring an extra memory card.

The Mavic 3 also has an 8GB internal memory, but you can expand the memory with a micro SD card up to 512GB. This allows you to store double the amount of image data, or you can record videos in a higher quality. That's nice if you're on vacation and you can't transfer the images to a computer. You don't have to bring extra memory cards and swap them during the day. With the Mavic 3, you can also record in the H.264 or H.265 format.
