With little fanfare, and very few leaks or rumors, the DJI Mavic 3 Classic drone was added to the DJI Store today.
Identical to the original Mavic 3 in almost every way, the only difference in the Mavic 3 Classic is the single camera with 4/3 CMOS sensor.
Being sold with the popular DJI RC, the simplified Mavic 3 Classic is also very attractively priced at US$1749 for the basic kit, and an additional US$649 for the Fly More Combo with 2 more batteries, charging hub, car charger, bag and extra propellers.
With 15 more minutes of battery life than it’s predecessor, the Mavic 2 Pro, making it an ideal pro-level drone for Mavic 2 owners to move up to. DJI has focused much of the last two years on the Air 2/2S and Mini platforms before bringing out the Mavic 3 with it’s dual cameras one year ago.

- 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad Camera
- 5.1K/50fps Professional Imagery
- Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution
- 46-Min Max Flight Time
- Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing
- 15km HD Video Transmission
- Advanced RTH

- DJI RC (5.5-inch HD Display)
| Goodbye Mavic 2 Pro
The Mavic 2 Pro has been one of our primary drones since it was released. Great battery life, solid flight in windy conditions and a fantastic 1″ sensor all combine to make it one of the best camera drones ever. We’ll be testing the Mavic 3 Classic over the coming weeks (watch for our review) and it’s very likely it will immediately take over from the Mavic 2.
