This drone is really good, let me know what you think, literally so similar to the Mavic 3 but at a cheaper price point - click.dji.com/AFTgIPWvL8TsU1lu7qerUw?ch=launch-mavic3classic&pm=custom

I upgraded from the Mini 2 to the Mavic 3 Classic and was blown away. It’s literally better in every way. The part I like the most is how it is unbothered by higher winds. And the camera is amazing. Really happy with my upgrade.

absolutely love your videos, I got the mini pro because of you and was just as heartbroken when you crashed it and appreciated the breakdown of the crash video, now Im getting a more professional drone because of your review again, keep up the good work.

Nice. The telephoto lens is one of my favorite features on the standard Mavic 3..that dreamy soft focus as you gather parallax effect on a tower a mile or 2 away is unique among drones. It is pricey though so there's room for other models.

Just love your content.. all your videos are so well filmed and explained to us. I bought myself a mini 3 pro and a Mavic 3 classic recently... at the time i thought they were completing each other...and you confirm my choices... thanks again Waiting for the next one... Fred from France

I like your sympathic way to explain detailed and interesting... we keep watching😎🤩😇👍

Great summary Darren! Mavic 3 is a beast in windy conditions.

As you know, I have been viewing your videos for a while now and based upon your reviews, I eventually committed to buying a DJI Mavic 3 Classic. Can't wait to see how it compares to my DJI Mini 3 Pro. :)

Great video & review. No BS … just facts and your thoughts. Super helpful … thank you!

I’ve had the original DJI Mavic mini since it’s release back in 2019. I’m really considering upgrading to to the Mavic 3 Classic.

Ha... I was right! Mavic 3 just got a huge update for aircraft and RC Pro (RM510) and RC (RM330) We just got Night Mode, Cruise Control, and some really sweet stuff (to make us accept Remote ID in the US. Like POI and Focus Track with 7X Tele camera! Exciting times!

Getting this looks really good

Great intro to the Mavic 3 Classic. Thanks. Looks impressive. I love the shot of Rossall School at Fleetwood.

Awesome drone from DJI. Well beyond my needs but looking forward to getting that cruise control feature to the other drones in the fleet.

Good Video mate really informative and because of this I have figured out what drone i need next, keep up these videos!

Thanks for the awesome review, Darren! I’m sure glad I didn’t sell my kidney for the Mavic 3!😂 I’m still flying my old Air 2, but this looks like an awesome upgrade. I’ll definitely use your link when I purchase. Thanks for the great content!

This is probably the drone I will save up my money for. It's more of what I think I need, with less of what I probably don't. Time to study for the advanced license and get into flying commercially. There are tons of opportunities and this seems like a perfect tool. In the meantime it seems possible to get started even with the Mini 2.

Nice drone will watch more and see how it goes hope you and.your family 👪 are well

dude, you do very convincing sales talk! you make me wanna go out and buy a classic!

Great video Darren! Thanks for going over the features. I’d love to get one! Unfortunately with the energy crisis atm I’m going to have to stick with my Mini 2 for the moment as just couldn’t afford it. It would be a perfect upgrade for me and when I do upgrade I’ll use your link. Thanks again mate.

Great video, It's my only alternative because I need it for Real Estate photography but can't afford Mavic 3Pro. I like all your videos well explained to beginner in this new industry

Welcome back my friend. More fantastic educational video about this new drone. Looks a nice technical drone for those that work with drones. Cheers for this great information. Take care, I look forward to your next one. ❤

Great news!!! 👍🏼 Just can't wait to fly that beast! Hopefully will work with RC Pro soon💪🏼👊🏼

Must say, really tempted to save for this one Darren! Really offers so much! Great vid, thanks sooo much! 👍👍👍

I reckon it’s probably the best all round drone out there, especially when you consider the price

Hello Darren, does the C1 classification means that it can even fly in areas regulated to sub-250g drones ? everywhere the mini series can fly ? Thanks a lot for the video, Do you now how I could have a better chance of being dji product tester ? Theodore

Dam I thought I'd finished buying with my Air 2 and mini 3 Pro but this looks fantastic, and the price for just the drone is not bad. The C1 marking is one of the most appealing points for me. I love my air 2 but the restriction even with the A2 keeps it in the case more often than not. As the UK is putting things on hold a touch with the drone regs do you think we will benefit from the C1 marking permanently? Nice review. 👌

I love having the zoom feature on my Mavic 3. I honestly didn't think I would use it that much but I was wrong. I use it just about every flight. I can't imagine not having it now.

Awesome footage from lovely Mallorca and a great review. I think I have to switch from Air2s to Classic...Cheers DrDuu

Awesome review as expected! This drone has a lot of potential. Considering it;s a Mavic 3, it's unlikely to fall short in performance. Looking forward to more test flights!

Should I sell my Mavic 3 and get the mavic 3 classic? Or should I just keep the one I already have

I love this drone. Got the Mavic 3 with telecamera and the thermal one. Great drones. Good image quality and amazingly stable in the air. Btw big update today for the regular Mavic 3 (1800mb) with c1 label support.

This is what I've been waiting for! Finally an "affordable" upgrade to my Mavic 2 Pro. There was never a situation where i would have needed the zoom, so this is perfect for me.

Hope they put cruise control on the mavic 3. Great video Darren 😁 👍👌🇬🇧

I just ordered one and I’m super excited.

Just got a Mini 3 Pro and I love it so much I'm looking at the Mavic 3 Classic now!

Looking into my first drone and been doing all the research, was set on Mini 3 Pro but this dropped and now I'm torn. My use is hobby video photo, social media stuff, and I am someone who likes to hike off-grid. The Mini 3 checked the boxes for weight in my pack and solid camera features, but I'm now wondering if I can add a couple pounds to my pack on a long hike just for the extra features, especially waypoints with video and cruise control. Thoughts?

Cruise control is game changing, I can now fly far more steady and Pan shots/ videos etc without worrying about accelerating by accident.

Awesome Darren. I thought of you straight away when I heard about this release as I knew you were gonna review it first lol. Great job 👍👌

Thank you.

Just reserved it through your link. Oh… and I’m off to Mallorca when it arrives!

That C1 label is easily this drone's killer feature, DJI will shift tons of these.

I just did a search about the Classic and you showed up first. I gotta tell you though, until you spoke, you looked like an average guy I'd see in the grocery store here in Alabama. The flannel shirt and the baseball cap are a great disguise. Awesome info on the Classic btw!

Awesome footage! Indeed no doubting a Mavic 3 when it comes to cinematic quality.

Brilliant review! look forward to more on this !

Just got this to go with my mini 3 😊

Very tempting! Thanks for the review -- looking forward to tests, especially obstacle avoidance in challenging environments.

I crashed my mini 4 pro, wondering about this one or the pro version. A bigger drone should function better in wind. Great informative video!

I am super happy still with my Mavic 2 pro!!! However the classic is certainly tempting me right now!!

Good first look Darren. I think I will try to sell my Mavic 2 Pro to get the Mavic 3 Classic.

Hyped about a cheaper Mavic 3 version, still costs a lot but worth investing on!

For a photographer trying to decide on their first Dji drone..which do you recommend in your experience this "new" Mavic 3 Classic or the Mini 3 Pro? thanks

I would prefer to have the tele-lens option available, and would buy just the drone because I already have the RC, but I wonder whether the latest stock of the M3 will be sold with a C1 label.

I can confirm the new firmware for m3 added night mode and cruise control! 😃

Great review. Happy to see some key feature put into perspective. Thanks a lot for the good work.

I have the Mini 2. The Mavic Classic 3 will be my next drone. Great review! Thanks! 🙏

I got the new mavic classic great drone

Can somebody explain why the price is only 100-200$ less than a regular DJI Mavic 3. Also DJI Mavic 3 is an old drone which is usually on discounts or you can buy used one very cheap...

Thx for this video! Cruise control is a great feature!👌🏻

Useful review as always. I have the Mavic 3 Pro, will that get a retrospective give C1 via a software update ? I see that the latest software update also gives Cruise Control and Night mode etc. Any views on the C1 for the M3 Pro ?

Excellent review as always. Awesome drone. However all your trips are giving me some serious post holiday blues!

Does the Mavic 3 support the smart controller at all, or is that where the RC Pro comes in to play? Tempting, but the DJI RC is so light to hold. Potentially means shelling out for the RC Pro I suspect to be completely happy.

Wow, I'm so glad I didn't get the A2S now. Especially if it can hover for the battery life (please tell us how long it takes to recharge the battery on the review), that is why I couldn't decide on the Mini. It makes it sound like there is no room for an Air 3 unless it is better than the Mavic 3 🤔.

I don't see a link for the Mavic 3 Classic on yout description. You're selling it but don't provide the link to purchase it? 🤔???

is that Honister Pass (Lake District) you were flying the M3 Classic at one point

Personally, I think it's a hard sell over a Mini Pro 3 and its advantages. I am an amateur with other Sony/Nikon Pro video/DSLR equipment using the 10bit Mini 3 Pro for drone footage; the Mini Pro 3 holds its own admirably.

I’ve never flown a drone before. Is it a bad idea to get a Mavic 3 classic as a first drone?

Love this drone more my price range , thanks great video 👍😎

Having the C1 label is a game changer, decent price too, love it!

Very nice video Darren. I will be getting one if these. What would happen if you set Cruise control to fly straight ahead and then you totally lost signal ? Thanks.

Fascinated by the pricing. On DJI Website the Care refresh price of the classic is exactly £100 lower than the standard Mavic 3. So not only have they made the drone price fit in the space one might expect a mythical Air 3 to occupy, DJI also seem to be saying its alot easier to repair than the standard Mavic 3. Even though they are saying the classic doesn't have gimbal lock which apparently helps protect the gimbal. Have to say, I'm confused and slightly put off the standard mavic 3 was hoping to get hold of later in the year as today it seems over priced when you do the number crunching on DJIs own site.

Hello! Could you answer, does DJI solved those issues in M3 Classic? 1) Longtime satellites search, upto 2 min each flight, and GLONASS not used again 2) Raw (DNG) photos have black corners as used lens dont cover full sensor area 3) Flickering while hyperlapse, even in full manual settings (WB, shutter etc.)

Seems that they removed the gimbal lock that the Mavic 3 has? (That’s a pity). Wonder if they’ll add the night mode (which I believe requires different licensing to fly at night), and the cruse control to the older Mavic 3? - or are they simply to sway you to the new classic?

Hi, I wanted to know if the Mavic 3 / Cine filters can be mounted on the Mavic 3 Classic. I saw you use Freewell filters, I would like to take the PolarPro ND/PL Vivid collection (obviously those without the division between the two cameras).

I've been flying the Mini 2 and Mini 3 Pro for a couple of years now. I have a flyer ID. This drone looks to be a good additional drone. You imply I can fly it anywhere I can fly my Mini 3 Pro but do I need to have additional certification before I can do that?

Hi Darren does the C1 clarification mean you can take it to say Majorca without needing to apply for permission now. Brilliant video once again as always very well explained Thanks

I could not put it off any longer! Bought the CLASSIC last week! Now, if would just stop raining!

Wow! This is the perfect drone, i guess. Fair price with all the features that we mostly need.

How is it while hovering? Is there any heating issues? I think I'll pass on the mini3pro and get this mavic !

This just made my day!

Impressive drone by DJI! Cruise control is an adaptation of "TapFly Free" from the Mavic 2. I am waiting till they add Way Points in their software & then I will purchase it.

Thanks for this video! How do you get your thumbnail titles with the background color? Thanks!

I fly a Mavic 2 and use an iPad mini, the larger screen is helpful due to my older eyes. Is it possible to use IPad Mini with a 3rd party mount with these controllers?

D, you mentioned that the Mini 2 RCn1 controller works with the M3. Is that really the case? Occusync 2 vs 3.

Amazing video. I want this drone!!!

Yet another great video from Darren that has made me go out and buy another drone. Take it the tele lens is better zoom?

Brilliant review 👏 thanks

I'm a bit confused now as I watched your video on the mini 3 pro and I don't know if I should spend the extra. I'm in Australia and would be filming on the coastlines where it is often windy. Please help.

Look like a cool drone

I am considering purchasing the M3 Classic. The Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Pro do not interest me. I have a Mavic 2 Pro Hasselblad, and it does all I ever need. I do more photography than video and the 20 MP res is still the same on M3. I dont need the digital zoom feature either. However, the Classic longer flight time and night photography features are appealing. The downside of my Mavic 2 pro is the battery. I have had several batteries replaced due to swelling. DJI has replaced them for me under warranty. Its a common problem caused by excessive heat. I live in Texas and its very hot during the summer. I do not fly when the temperature reaches 95 degrees F. to keep my batteries from getting to hot. My question is. Does the Mavic 3 battery have the same problem with the battery swelling or expanding?

Such a good review ! Thank you

Where did you get that Classic filter?

Great review! Does it do vertical? :D

Great review, Darren! Thanks as always!

Great content, thanks! Question: do you know if the cruise control may be coming to the regular Mavic3?

Really nice drone. And as always a great video.

Were you able to find ND filters for the Classic? New new camera housing doesn't appear to be compatible with other Mavic 3 filter mounts and I haven't been able to find anything on the market yet.

New DJI RC update in today, I have the Mini 3, after I checked settings I have Hyperlapse cruise control now as an option for C2, will this work on the Mini 3?

I love your video. Does it still have Geofencing? Thank you.

i'm watching after i paid for a mavic 3 with dual cameras. I cant wait to see what I'm about to learn.
