The DJI Mavic 3 Pro is the rumored successor to the DJI Mavic 2 Pro, which is currently the drone giant’s flagship compact flier – and still one of the best drones you can buy.
Perhaps the most exciting feature rumored to be coming to the DJI Mavic 3 Pro is its potential ability to shoot 8K video. According to a “trusted source” obtained by DroneDJ, the Mavic 3 Pro could become the first compact DJI drone capable of capturing 8K video. This would trump its predecessor’s 4K/30p video powers and match the likes of the Autel Evo II (which uses a smaller 1/2-inch sensor).
This information is apparently based on Mavic 3 Pro prototypes currently being tested by DJI, so it’s far from certain that this will find its way into the final version. But given that the mid-range Air 2S recently arrived with 5.4K video capabilities, the move to 8K for DJI’s ‘Pro’ line would certainly make sense – in theory.
Still, one leak we have seen so far has already pointed to some potentially big design differences between the Mavic 3 Pro and its predecessor. According to serial drone leakers OsitaLV and DroneXL, DJI has patented a new drone which boasts two downward motors and two upward motors.
