DJI Mavic 3 Classic review. Image and video samples, including Mavic 3 Classic VS Mavic 2 pro Comparision

Colin Smith tests out the new Mavic 3 Classic.

The specs are very similar to the Mavic 3, but the price starts at less than $1500 USD. The main difference is the zoom camera has been removed. The main Hasselblad camera can do a 3x digital zoom.

If you like the high quality of the images and don’t need the zoom camera, and would like to save $500-$600 the Mavic 3 Classic is a great option.

My conclusion is this is the best quality imagery you will get on a drone for this price. The quality is equal to the DJI Mavic 3 which is the best I have experienced in this size and weight class.
