DJI is announcing two new Mavic 3 drones overnight. The Mavic 3 and the Mavic 3 Cine. The most notable improvement is that they now have two built-in cameras, a 20-megapixel sensor with a 24mm lens (with aperture) and a 29x hybrid zoom.

The 4/3 sensor is larger than the 1-inch sensor in the Mavic 2 Pro. The 24mm lens has an aperture that can be adjusted between f/2.8 and f/11.

Photos can be taken in 20-megapixel 12-bit RAW format. Videos can be recorded at 5.1K with 60 frames per second or at 4K with 120 frames per second (via a later firmware update).

The second camera has a 162mm telephoto lens and can zoom up to 28x (a combination of digital and optical zoom). The aperture is fixed at f/4.4.

The drone can now stay in the air for longer, around 46 minutes. You can fly up to 15 kilometres away (not that this is allowed in the Netherlands) and still maintain a video connection with the controller.

Mavic 3 Cine

The difference between the Mavic 3 and the Mavic 3 Cine is the storage. The Cine version has a built-in 1-terabyte SSD and supports Apple ProRes 422 HQ video. This makes the drone slightly heavier than the standard version.

The standard version will cost 2,199 dollars. The Fly-more combo will cost 2,999 dollars. The Cine version is considerably more expensive, costing 4,999 dollars.

Unfortunately, the drone is not certified. It's just chaos with the new EU regulations. Making people (like me) take an expensive exam, in my case also the A2, which allows me to get closer to the subject, but not making sure there are certified drones so that you have the certainty that you can do with it what you have in mind. Not very convenient if from 2023 onwards you have to keep 150 metres away. As far as I know, officially you can't use your A2 even now because not a single drone is certified, including my Mavic 2 Pro. It's really too crazy for words. Moreover, the (majority of) shops act as if they don't know anything about it.
