The Mavic 3 Classic Camera is a high-performance aerial imaging system designed to meet the needs of both professional photographers and serious drone enthusiasts. At the heart of this camera lies a powerful 4/3 CMOS image sensor developed by Hasselblad, offering an impressive 20-megapixel resolution. This larger sensor size not only improves image quality by capturing more light but also significantly enhances dynamic range, contrast, and low-light performance—resulting in stunningly clear and detailed photos and videos, even in challenging lighting conditions.

The camera’s versatile lens features a 24 mm equivalent focal length, delivering a natural wide-angle perspective with an expansive 84° field of view (FOV). This makes it ideal for capturing sweeping landscapes, architectural scenes, and cinematic aerial shots. Its adjustable aperture ranges from f/2.8 to f/11, giving photographers precise control over exposure, depth of field, and creative effects. Whether you’re shooting under the harsh midday sun or during the soft light of golden hour, this camera adapts effortlessly to changing light conditions.

With a focus range starting from just 1 meter to infinity, the Mavic 3 Classic ensures sharp, crisp detail for both close-up subjects and distant vistas. It supports a maximum image resolution of 5280 × 3956 pixels, offering immense clarity and detail suitable for large-format prints or professional editing workflows. To support various post-processing needs, the camera captures stills in both JPEG and DNG (RAW) formats, allowing creators the freedom to fine-tune images with advanced editing software.

When it comes to video, the Mavic 3 Classic Camera delivers exceptional performance. It supports MP4 and MOV video formats and utilizes advanced video encoding technologies such as MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 and HEVC/H.265, providing smooth, high-quality footage while maintaining efficient file sizes. The maximum video bitrate of 200 Mbps ensures that every frame is packed with detail, color, and cinematic sharpness. This makes it an excellent tool for content creators producing everything from travel vlogs to commercial-grade aerial cinematography.

The camera also supports the exFAT file system, enabling seamless handling and storage of large video files—a crucial feature for 4K or long-duration recordings. Color grading and video editing are further enhanced with support for multiple color profiles, including Normal, HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) for HDR workflows, and D-Log for maximum dynamic range and flexibility in post-production.

To add to its versatility, the Mavic 3 Classic features up to 3× digital zoom, allowing pilots to reframe scenes, zoom in on distant subjects, or add cinematic punch without physically repositioning the drone. This added compositional flexibility helps creators explore new perspectives and storytelling angles without compromising image quality.
