The DJI Mavic 3 includes a flight controller, video transmission system, vision systems, infrared sensor system, powertrain, and intelligent flight battery.
The DJI Mavic 3 has three flight modes, as well as a fourth flight mode that the aircraft switches to in certain scenarios. Flight modes can be switched using the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller.
Normal mode: The UAV uses GNSS and forward, backward, side, side, top, and bottom vision systems, as well as an infrared sensor system to determine the location and stabilize the drone. When the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GNSS to determine its location and stabilize. When the GNSS signal is weak but the lighting and other environmental conditions are sufficient, the drone uses vision systems to determine its location and stabilize. When the forward, backward, side, top, and bottom vision systems are enabled and the lighting and other environmental conditions are sufficient, the maximum flight altitude angle is 30° and the maximum flight speed is 15 m/s.
Sports mode: In sports mode, the drone uses GNSS for positioning, and the drone’s responses are optimized for maneuverability and speed, making it more sensitive to the movements of the control joints. Note that obstacle detection is disabled and the maximum flight speed is 21 m/s (19 m/s when flying in the EU).
Cinema Mode: Cinema mode is based on Normal mode, but the flight speed is limited, making it more stable when filming. In ATTI mode, the aircraft can be more easily affected by the environment. Environmental factors such as wind can cause horizontal drift, which can be dangerous, especially when flying in confined spaces.
The DJI Mavic 3 has front LEDs and aircraft status indicators.
When the aircraft is powered on but the engines are not running, the front LEDs glow red, indicating the aircraft’s orientation.
When the aircraft is powered on but the engines are not running, the aircraft status indicators display the status of the flight control system. For more information about the aircraft status indicators, refer to the table below.
After the engine starts, the front LEDs flash red and green alternately, and the drone status indicators flash green.
For better shots, the front LEDs will automatically turn off during shooting if DJI Fly is set to auto-off front LEDs. Lighting requirements vary by region. Please follow local laws and regulations.
Функція Return to Home (RTH) повертає дрон до останньої зафіксованої домашньої точки, якщо система позиціонування функціонує нормально. Існує три типи RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH і Failsafe RTH. Дрон автоматично повертається до домашньої точки і приземляється, коли запускається режим Smart RTH, дрон переходить в режим Low Battery RTH або коли під час польоту втрачається сигнал відеозв’язку.
За замовчуванням початкова точка – це перше місце, де літальний апарат отримав сильний або помірно сильний сигнал GNSS, де піктограма позначена білим кольором. Домашню точку можна оновити перед зльотом, якщо літальний апарат отримує сильний або помірно сильний сигнал GNSS. Якщо сигнал GNSS слабкий, то домашню точку неможливо оновити.
The Smart RTH function allows the drone to return to the takeoff point when there is a stable GNSS signal. Activation is via the DJI Fly app or the RTH button on the remote control. You can exit the mode in the same way.
Advanced RTH is activated under favorable lighting and environmental conditions. The drone independently plots the optimal route, avoiding obstacles and GEO zones, focusing on technical vision.
During RTH:
If the drone is closer than 5 m, it lands immediately.
If further, it plots a route and returns with a forward orientation.
When approaching the point, the drone flies at an angle of 19° to save energy.
Additionally:
Advanced RTH ignores the set RTH altitude and adjusts the flight parameters itself.
If the environment is not suitable, regular straight-line RTH is activated.
During RTH, the user can change the speed, but not the altitude, direction, or orientation.
If the speed is too high, the aircraft will not be able to avoid obstacles and will stop flying.
Straight-line RTH mode is activated when lighting or the environment prevents the visual positioning systems from working. In this case, the aircraft returns to the starting point along a simple route without avoiding obstacles.
The procedure looks like this:
The starting point is fixed.
Direct RTH is activated.
The aircraft hovers and begins to turn.
— If it is further than 50 m — it levels off, rises to the specified RTH altitude and flies at the current or target altitude.
— If it is 5–50 m away — it flies to a point at the current altitude, or rises to 2 m if it was flying lower.
— If it is closer than 5 m — it lands immediately.
Upon arrival, the drone lands and turns off its engines.
Additionally:
The drone will exit RTH by pulling down on the throttle or pitch stick.
If the maximum altitude is reached during the climb, the drone will stop and continue at that altitude.
During this mode, you can adjust the altitude and speed, but not the direction or orientation.
If the speed is too high, the drone will lose its ability to detect obstacles.
Failsafe RTH is activated automatically if the drone loses contact with the remote controller for more than six seconds, provided that the return point has been recorded and the compass is working normally. The DJI Fly app must be set to “Return to Home” in advance, otherwise the function will not be activated.
In the event of signal loss, if the vision systems are active and the lighting is sufficient, the DJI Fly screen will display the route that the drone formed before the signal loss. It will return along this path, taking into account obstacles. Even if the connection with the remote controller is restored, the aircraft will remain in RTH mode. If the vision systems are unavailable, the drone will return to the start point along the basic direct route.
In this case, the drone will first hover, after which it will either land immediately (if closer than 5 m to the take-off point), or adjust its position and fly back. If the distance exceeds 50 m, it will fly 50 m back along the original route and then perform a direct RTH.
It is important to remember that the RTH function may not work in the absence of GNSS signal, strong wind, or in obstacle conditions. In such situations, the drone may enter manual mode (ATTI) or hover before landing. It is necessary to set the correct return altitude in advance, especially in urban or forested conditions, to avoid collision with obstacles. In case of risk, it is advisable to switch to manual control.
The low battery function is activated when the battery is insufficient for a safe return. In this case, the drone must immediately return or land. The device independently judges whether the battery is sufficient for a return based on the distance, speed, and conditions. A warning appears in the DJI Fly app, after which the drone enters RTH mode. The user can cancel it, but then the risk of an accident increases. If the power is only enough for landing, the drone will begin an automatic descent – it cannot be canceled, but you can control the direction and speed. In a critical case, the drone will land on its own or fall if there is no charge left at all.
DJI Mavic 3 automatically turns on landing protection during intelligent RTH. If the surface is suitable for landing, the drone will land smoothly on its own. If the area is dangerous, the copter will hover and wait for confirmation from the pilot. In the event that the system does not work, DJI Fly will offer to manually complete the landing using the throttle or automatic slider.
Precision landing allows the drone to navigate to the terrain at the takeoff point and land there. It is activated automatically provided that the takeoff point has not changed, the device has gained at least 7 meters of altitude after launch, the terrain has clear contours, and the lighting is moderate. If the drone cannot identify the location during landing, a message will appear in the app. The user can accelerate the descent or change the direction, but after releasing the controls, the drone will begin a vertical descent again.
The drone’s safety systems include omnidirectional sensing: infrared sensors, cameras that look in all directions — forward, backward, up, down and to the sides. This allows the device to hover accurately even indoors or in areas without a GNSS signal. Additionally, the built-in illuminator improves the visibility of the sensors in the dark, which is especially useful during night flights or in low-light conditions.
Front vision system. Accurate measurement range: 0.5-20 m; Viewing angle: 90° (horizontal), 103° (vertical)
Rear vision system. Accurate measurement range: 0.5-16 m; Viewing angle: 90° (horizontal), 103° (vertical)
Side vision system. Accurate measurement range: 0.5-25 m; FOV: 90° (horizontal), 85° (vertical)
All-round vision system. Accurate measurement range: 0.2-10 m; Viewing angle: 100° (front and back), 90° (left and right)
All-round vision system. Accurate measurement range: 0.3-18 m; Viewing angle: 130° (front and back), 160° (left and right). The all-round vision system works best when the drone is at an altitude of 0.5 to 30 m.
The DJI Mavic 3 uses a system of external sensors to navigate in space when GNSS is not available. If the surface has a clear texture and sufficient lighting, the all-round vision system is activated. The forward, backward, upward and side sensors automatically operate in Normal or Cine modes if the obstacle avoidance settings are set to Brake or Bypass. Thanks to these sensors, the drone can brake in front of obstacles and maintain stable flight, but their effectiveness depends on environmental conditions.
The systems work best at an altitude of 0.5 to 30 m, provided that there is a clear pattern on the ground and stable lighting. If the lighting is poor, the lower light is automatically turned on. However, it may affect the operation of the vision system cameras. If the drone is flying over snow, water or a homogeneous surface, the vision system may not work correctly – in such conditions, you need to be extremely careful.
There are a number of situations in which the vision system may malfunction:
flying over plain or shiny surfaces;
over water, transparent or moving objects;
in areas with variable or excessively bright/dark light;
in areas with repetitive patterns or thin obstacles (e.g. branches).
Before flying, it is important to make sure that the sensors are not clogged, clean, or damaged. If prompted to calibrate in DJI Fly, perform the calibration automatically. Do not fly the drone in fog, rain, or dusty environments. If the sensors are dirty, wipe them with a soft cloth without using alcohol. In case of damage, it is best to contact DJI support.
APAS 5.0 (Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems) is an advanced pilot assistance system available in Normal and Cine modes. It allows the drone to autonomously navigate around obstacles by responding to the movements of the control sticks. This feature makes flying safer and video smoother. The pilot can continue to control the drone in any direction, even when the aircraft is flying around obstacles: he chooses a trajectory – up, down, left or right – depending on the situation.
The drone can be stopped at any time by pressing the “Pause Flight” button or by touching the screen in DJI Fly. After that, the aircraft will freeze for three seconds and wait for further commands. APAS is enabled in the “Safety” section of the system settings, where you need to select the “Bypass” mode.
For APAS to work correctly, it is necessary that the technical vision or GNSS systems are active, and that the route does not pass over water, snow, transparent or small objects. Lighting conditions also affect the system: too bright or dark environments can disrupt the system. It is not recommended to use APAS near restricted areas or GEO zones, where the function may lose stability. In such cases, it is worth closely monitoring the status in the DJI Fly app.
Flight recorder. Flight data, including flight telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters, is automatically saved to the aircraft’s internal data recorder. The data can be accessed using DJI Assistant 2 (consumer drone series)
Propellers. There are two types of low-noise quick-release propellers for the DJI Mavic 3, which are designed to rotate in different directions. Labels are used to indicate which propellers should be attached to which motors. Make sure that the propeller and motor are selected according to the instructions.
Attaching propellers. Attach marked propellers to marked motors, and unmarked propellers to unmarked motors. Press each propeller against the motor and turn until it is secure.
Press the propellers against the motors and turn them in the unlocking direction.
Propeller blades are sharp. Handle with care.
Use only official DJI propellers. DO NOT mix propeller types.
Purchase propellers separately if necessary.
Before each flight, make sure the propellers are securely installed.
Before each flight, make sure all propellers are in good condition. DO NOT use old, cracked, or broken propellers.
Stay away from rotating propellers and motors to avoid injury.
Do not pinch or bend propellers during transport or storage.
Make sure the motors are securely attached and rotate smoothly. Land the aircraft immediately if a motor is stuck and cannot rotate freely.
DO NOT attempt to modify the motors.
After flying, do not touch or allow hands or body contact with the motors, as they may be hot.
DO NOT block the ventilation holes on the motors or the drone body.
Make sure that the propellers make a normal sound when turned on.

Stabilizer Profile
The DJI Mavic 3’s 3-axis gimbal stabilizer stabilizes the camera, allowing you to capture clear and stable images and videos. The tilt adjustment range is from -90° to +35°.
DJI Mavic 3 allows you to adjust the camera tilt using a slider on the remote controller or directly from the screen in the DJI Fly app. There are two stabilization modes available in the camera menu: Follow mode, which keeps the gimbal in a fixed orientation, and FPV mode, which synchronizes with the drone’s movements to create a first-person flight effect. To avoid damage, do not press the gimbal, do not take off from uneven surfaces, and do not apply excessive pressure after launch. Vibration or a brief hang during launch is normal, as is the automatic locking of the axes when the power is turned off.
The Hasselblad L2D-20c’s main camera features a 4/3-inch CMOS sensor, capable of shooting 20MP photos and videos in 5.1K up to 50fps, DCI 4K up to 120fps in Apple ProRes 422 HQ, H.264 or H.265, and supports 10-bit D-Log. It features an adjustable aperture of f/2.8–f/11 and a focus range of 1m to infinity. The secondary camera features a 1/2-inch CMOS, 12MP, f/4.4, shooting from 3m and 28x zoom in Exploration mode. To maintain quality, do not block the ventilation holes and use special lens cleaners.
DJI Mavic 3 has 8 GB of built-in memory and supports microSD cards of the UHS-I/UHS-II SDXC standard. High-quality video requires cards with high write speeds. The Cine version is equipped with a 1 TB SSD and data transfer of up to 10 Gbps via DJI Lightspeed. Do not remove the memory card while it is turned on – this can damage files. Before shooting, check the settings, take test shots and make sure that the drone is properly powered off – otherwise, data may be lost or corrupted. DJI is not responsible for unsuccessful or unreadable shooting.
