Looks pretty cool. I’ve always wanted a drone … but not for that price! Give me something under USD $499 and you have deal!
Taken from Engadget … DJI has unveiled its new flagship consumer drone, the Mavic 3 Pro, with a triple-camera setup that includes a new 70mm lens designed for “powerful subject framing.” It also includes a new 10-bit D-Log M color mode, improvements in the tele cameras, and ProRes capture on the Mavic 3 Pro Cine option. It’s the company’s fourth Mavic 3 drone, joining the Mavic 3, the Mavic 3 Classic and the Mavic 3 Enterprise models.
Like the Mavic 3, it’s available in regular and Cine models, with the latter having advanced features for filmmakers like Apple ProRes capture (ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422, and ProRes 422 LT), a 1TB SSD drive and a 10Gbps lightspeed data cable. However, you’ll pay a premium of nearly $1,000 to get those.
The new 70mm camera has a 1/1.3-inch sensor that’s the same size as on the Mini 3 Pro. Though considerably smaller than the 4/3 chip on the main Hasselblad camera, DJI says the camera is designed for a “range of different scenarios from framing intriguing buildings to cars in commercial shoots.” That comment indicates that the quality should be better than the 7x tele camera. It can handle 48-megapixel (MP) high-res or 12MP low light photos, along with 4K/60fps video.
Like the main camera, it supports a new log format called D-log M along with DJI’s original D-Log. D-Log M is designed to deliver “natural color gradations with delicate details” even in high-contrast situations like sunsets, the company says. At the same time, it’s easier to grade than typical log footage, according to DJI. It can shoot up to 10-bit 4:2:2 ProRes video on the Mavic 3 Pro Cine model and 10-bit 4:2:0 (H.264/H.265) on the regular model.
… more.
