Buy DJI Mavic 3 Classic (DJI RC)

DESCRIPTION

The DJI Mavic 3 Classic was released worldwide in November 2022 and is the first drone in the world to receive a European C1 certification.

In a nutshell, this means that the Mavic 3 models can be flown in the A1 Open Category where no training is required but you have to complete an exam defined by your local aviation authority. You can’t fly over people or crowds and must remain 50m away from people and objects.

The camera is shaped the same as previous Mavic 3 models, but doesn’t have a telephoto lens on top. A new feature DJI introduced with this release is ‘Cruise Control.’ Like its name suggests, this sets the drone to a constant speed so remote pilots can focus on capturing the shot instead of flying.

This certification will be much welcomed by continental drone pilots, but after the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority controversially announced that it will not recognize European ratings despite participating in their design, UK-based drone pilots are set for a further three years of uncertainty regarding drones of this class.

Cameras aside, the Mavic 3 Classic offers all of the flight and safety features of the original models, including APAS 5.0 collision avoidance, ActiveTrack 5.0 for subject tracking, GEO 2.0 geofencing, and Advanced Return to Home and Quickshots automated flight patterns. This is no beginner drone, but with these advanced flight and safety features, absolute beginners and experienced pilots alike can fly the Classic with confidence.
