remote controller.

Product Profile
Introduction
DJI Mavic 3 features both an Infrared Sensing System and Forward, Backward, Upward, Lateral,
and Downward Vision Systems, allowing for hovering and flying indoors as well as outdoors and for
automatic Return to Home while avoiding obstacles in all directions. The aircraft has a maximum flight
speed of 47 mph (75.6 kph) and a maximum flight time of 46 minutes.
DJI Mavic 3 Cine comes with the DJI RC Pro remote controller that has a built-in 5.5-in high brightness
1000cd/m2 screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. Users can connect to the internet via Wi-Fi
while the Android operating system includes Bluetooth and GNSS. The DJI RC Pro comes with a wide
range of aircraft and gimbal controls as well as customizable buttons and has a maximum operating
time of 3 hours. DJI Mavic 3 comes with the RC-N1 remote controller, which displays the video
transmission from the aircraft to DJI Fly on a mobile device. The aircraft and camera are easy to control
using the onboard buttons and the remote controller has a runtime of 6 hours.
Feature Highlights
Gimbal and Camera: DJI Mavic 3 uses a 4/3-in CMOS sensor Hasselblad L2D-20c camera, capable
of shooting 20MP photos and 5.1K 50fps/DCI 4K 120fps Apple ProRes 422 HQ* and H.264/H.265
videos. The camera has an adjustable aperture of f/2.8 to f/11, a dynamic range of 12.8 stops, and
supports 10-bit D-Log video. The tele camera helps users to capture at up to 28x zoom using Explore
mode.
Video Transmission: With four built-in antennas and DJI’s long-range transmission O3+ technology, DJI
Mavic 3 offers a maximum transmission range of 15 km and video quality at up to 1080p 60fps from
the aircraft to the DJI Fly app. The remote controller works at both 2.4 and 5.8 GHz, and is capable of
selecting the best transmission channel automatically.
Intelligent Flight Modes: The user can focus on operating the aircraft while the Advanced Pilot
Assistance System 5.0 (APAS 5.0) helps the aircraft to avoid obstacles in all directions.
* Only the DJI Mavic 3 Cine aircraft comes with a built-in 1TB SSD, which supports the recording and storing
of Apple ProRes 422 HQ video. Otherwise, the features and functions described in this user manual apply to
both the DJI Mavic 3 and DJI Mavic 3 Cine aircraft.
The maximum flight time was tested in an environment without wind while flying at a consistent flight
speed of 20.1 mph (32.4 kph). The maximum flight speed was tested at sea level altitude without
wind. Note that the maximum flight speed is limited to 42 mph (68.4 kph) in the European Union (EU).
These value are for reference only.
The remote controller reaches its maximum transmission distance (FCC) in a wide-open area with
no electromagnetic interference at an altitude of about 400 ft (120 m). The maximum transmission
distance refers to the maximum distance that the aircraft can still send and receive transmissions. It
does not refer to the maximum distance the aircraft can fly in a single flight. The maximum runtime
was tested in a laboratory environment and without charging the mobile device. This value is for
reference only.
5.8 GHz is not supported in some regions. Observe the local laws and regulations.

Aircraft
DJI Mavic 3 contains a flight controller,
video downlink system, vision systems,
infrared sensing system, propulsion
system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.

Aircraft
DJI Mavic 3 contains a flight controller, video downlink system, vision systems, infrared sensing system,
propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.
Flight Modes
DJI Mavic 3 has three flight modes, plus a fourth flight mode that the aircraft switches to in certain
scenarios. Flight modes can be switched via the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller.
Normal Mode: The aircraft utilizes GNSS and the Forward, Backward, Lateral, Upward, and Downward
Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System to locate and stabilize itself. When the GNSS signal is
strong, the aircraft uses GNSS to locate and stabilize itself. When the GNSS is weak but the lighting and
other environment conditions are sufficient, the aircraft uses the vision systems to locate and stabilize
itself. When the Forward, Backward, Lateral, Upward, and Downward Vision Systems are enabled and
lighting and other environment conditions are sufficient, the maximum flight altitude angle is 30° and the
maximum flight speed is 15 m/s.
Sport Mode: In Sport Mode, the aircraft uses GNSS for positioning and the aircraft responses are
optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to control stick movements. Note that
obstacle sensing is disabled and the maximum flight speed is 21 m/s (19 m/s when flying in the EU).
Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode and the flight speed is limited, making the aircraft
more stable during shooting.
The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Vision Systems are unavailable or
disabled and when the GNSS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. In ATTI mode,
the aircraft may be more easily affected by its surroundings. Environmental factors such as wind can
result in horizontal shifting, which may present hazards, especially when flying in confined spaces.
The Forward, Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision Systems are disabled in Sport mode, which
means the aircraft cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically.
The maximum speed and braking distance of the aircraft significantly increase in Sport mode. A
minimum braking distance of 30 m is required in windless conditions.
A minimum braking distance of 10 m is required in windless conditions while the aircraft is ascending
and descending.
The responsiveness of the aircraft significantly increases in Sport mode, which means a small control
stick movement on the remote controller translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Make
sure to maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight.

Aircraft Status Indicators

DJI Mavic 3 has front LEDs and aircraft status indicators.

To obtain better footage, the front LEDs turn off automatically when shooting if the front LEDs are
set to auto in DJI Fly. Lighting requirements vary depending on region. Observe local laws and
regulations.

Return to Home
Return to Home (RTH) returns the aircraft to the last recorded Home Point when the positioning system
is functioning normally. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH.
The aircraft automatically flies back to the Home Point and lands when Smart RTH is initiated, the
aircraft enters Low Battery RTH, or the video link signal is lost during flight.
GNSS Description
The default Home Point is the first location where the aircraft received a
strong to moderately strong GNSS signal where the icon is white. The Home
Home 10
Point can be updated before takeoff as long as the aircraft receives a strong
Point
to moderately strong GNSS. If the GNSS signal is weak then the Home Point
cannot be updated.
Smart RTH
If the GNSS signal is sufficient, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point.
Smart RTH is initiated either by tapping in DJI Fly or by pressing and holding the RTH button on the
remote controller until it beeps. Exit Smart RTH by tapping in DJI Fly or by pressing the RTH button
on the remote controller.
Advanced RTH
Advanced RTH is enabled if the lighting is sufficient and the environment is suitable for vision systems
when Smart RTH triggered. The aircraft will automatically plan the best RTH path, which will be
displayed in DJI Fly and will adjust according to the environment.
Advanced RTH Procedure

1. The Home Point is recorded.
2. Advanced RTH is triggered.
3. The aircraft brakes and hover in place.
a. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins.
b. If the aircraft is farther than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, the aircraft will plan the
best RTH path and fly to the Home Point while avoiding obstacles and GEO zones. The aircraft
front will always point in the same direction as the flight direction.
4. In order to save power and time, the aircraft will automatically adjust to an angle of 19° and fly to the
Home Point once it is near the Home Point. The time when the aircraft adjust the angle and flies to
the Home Point varies depending on the environment and video transmission signal.
5. The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.

During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will ignore the preset RTH altitude in DJI Fly and instead will
automatically adjust the flight speed and altitude according the environment (wind speed and
direction, obstacles, transmission signals).
Advanced RTH will not be available if the lighting condition and environment were not suitable for
vision systems during takeoff or RTH.
During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will enter Straight Line RTH if the lighting condition and
environment was not suitable for vision systems and the aircraft cannot avoid obstacles. An
appropriate RTH altitude must be set before entering RTH.
When the remote controller signal is normal during Advanced RTH, the pitch stick can be used to
control the flight speed but the orientation and altitude cannot be controlled and the aircraft cannot
be flown left or right. Acceleration uses more power. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles if the flight
speed exceeds the effective sensing speed. The aircraft will brake and hover in place and exit from
RTH if the pitch stick is pulled all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the pitch stick is
released.
Straight Line RTH

The aircraft will enter Straight Line RTH when the lighting is not sufficient and the environment is not
suitable for the vision systems.
Straight Line RTH Procedure:
1. The Home Point is recorded.
2. Straight Line RTH is triggered.
a. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, the aircraft adjusts its
orientation and ascends to the preset RTH altitude and flies to the Home Point. If the current
altitude is higher than the RTH altitude, the aircraft flies to the Home Point at the current altitude.
b. If the aircraft is at a distance of 5 to 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, the aircraft
adjusts its orientation and flies to the Home Point at the current altitude. If the current altitude is
lower than 2 m when RTH begins, the aircraft will ascend to 2 m and files to the Home Point.
c. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins.
When ascending in Straight Line RTH, the aircraft will stop ascending and exit from RTH if the throttle
stick is pulled all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the throttle stick is released. When
flying forward in Straight Line RTH, the aircraft will brake and hover in place and exit from RTH if the
pitch stick is pulled all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the pitch stick is released.
If the aircraft reaches the max altitude while it is ascending during RTH, the aircraft stops and returns
to the Home Point at the current altitude.
The aircraft will hover in place if it reaches the max altitude while it is ascending after detecting
obstacles in front.
During Straight Line RTH, the speed and altitude of the aircraft can be controlled using the remote
controller if the remote controller signal is normal. The orientation of the aircraft and the direction of
flight, however, cannot be controlled. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles if the pitch stick is used to
accelerate and the flight speed exceeds the effective sensing speed.
Low Battery RTH

Low Battery RTH is triggered when the Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to the point that the safe
return of the aircraft may be affected. Return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted.
In order to avoid unnecessary danger due to insufficient power, the aircraft automatically calculates if the
battery power is sufficient to return to the Home Point according to the current position, environment,

and flight speed. A warning prompt will appear in DJI Fly when the battery level is low and the aircraft
can only support Low Battery RTH.
The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. If RTH is cancelled
following a low battery level warning, the Intelligent Flight Battery may not have enough power for the
aircraft to land safely, which may lead to the aircraft crashing or being lost.
The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough
to descend from its current altitude. Auto landing cannot be canceled but the remote controller can be
used to alter the direction and the speed of descent of the aircraft during landing. The throttle stick can
be used to increase the ascent speed by 1 m/s if there is sufficient power. The throttle stick cannot be
used to increase the ascent speed and the aircraft will land if there is no power left.
During auto landing, find an appropriate place to land the aircraft as soon as possible. The aircraft will
fall if there is no power remaining.
Failsafe RTH
If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH
automatically activates after the remote controller signal is lost for more than six seconds. Note that the
action the aircraft performs when the remote controller is lost must be set to Return to Home in DJI Fly.
When the lighting is sufficient and the vision systems are working normally, DJI Fly will display the
RTH path that was generated by the aircraft before the remote controller signal was lost. The aircraft
will return to the Home Point on the best possible path according to the environment. The aircraft will
remain in RTH even if the remote controller signal is restored.
When the lighting is not sufficient and the vision systems are not available, the aircraft will enter Original
Route RTH.
Original Route RTH Procedure:

2. a. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point, the aircraft adjust its orientation and flies
backwards for 50 m on its original flight route before entering Straight Line RTH.
b. If the aircraft is farther than 5 m but less than 50 m from the Home Point, it enters Straight Line RTH.
c. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins.
The aircraft will remain in Straight Line RTH even if the remote controller signal is restored during Original
Route RTH.
If the RTH is triggered through DJI Fly and the aircraft is farther than 5 m from the Home Point, a
prompt will appear in the app to select a landing option.
The aircraft may not be able to return to the Home Point normally if the GNSS signal is weak or
unavailable. The aircraft may enter ATTI mode if the GNSS signal becomes weak or unavailable after
entering Failsafe RTH. The aircraft will hover in place for a while before landing.
It is important to set a suitable RTH altitude before each flight. Launch DJI Fly and set the RTH
altitude. The default RTH altitude is 100 m.
The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe RTH if the vision systems are unavailable.
GEO zones may affect the RTH. Avoid flying near GEO zones.
The aircraft may not be able to return to a Home Point when the wind speed is too high. Fly with caution.
Be aware of small or fine objects (such as tree branches or power lines) or transparent objects (such
as water or glass) during RTH. Exit RTH and control the aircraft manually in an emergency.
RTH may not be available in some environments even if the vision systems are working. The aircraft
will exit RTH in such cases.

Landing Protection
Landing Protection will activate during Smart RTH. When aircraft begins landing, Landing Protection is
enabled.
1. During Landing Protection, the aircraft will automatically detect and carefully land on suitable ground.
2. If the ground is determined unsuitable for landing, the aircraft will hover and wait for pilot
confirmation.
3. If Landing Protection is not operational, DJI Fly will display a landing prompt when the aircraft
descends below 0.5 m. Pull down on the throttle stick or use the auto landing slider to land.
Precision Landing
The aircraft automatically scans and attempts to match the terrain features below during RTH. The
aircraft will land when the current terrain matches the Home Point. A prompt will appear in DJI Fly if the
terrain match fails.
Landing Protection is activated during Precision Landing.

The Precision Landing performance is subject to the following conditions:
a. The Home Point must be recorded upon takeoff and must not be changed during flight.
Otherwise, the aircraft will have no record of the Home Point terrain features.
b. During takeoff, the aircraft must ascend at least 7 m before flying horizontally.
c. The Home Point terrain features must remain largely unchanged.
d. The terrain features of the Home Point must be sufficiently distinctive. Terrain such as snow-
covered areas are not suitable.
e. The lighting conditions must not be too light or too dark.
The following actions are available during Precision Landing:
a. Press the throttle stick down to accelerate landing.
b. Move the control sticks in any direction apart from the throttle direction to stop Precision Landing.
The aircraft will descend vertically after the control sticks are released.

Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System

DJI Mavic 3 is equipped with both an Infrared Sensing System and Forward, Backward, Lateral,
Upward, and Downward Vision Systems.
The Upward and Downward Vision Systems consist of two cameras each, and the Forward, Backward,
and Lateral Vision Systems consist of four cameras in total.
The Infrared Sensing System consists of two 3D infrared modules. The Downward Vision System and
Infrared Sensing System helps the aircraft maintain its current position, hover in place more precisely,
and to fly indoors or in other environments where GNSS is unavailable.
In addition, the Auxiliary Bottom Light located on the underside of the aircraft improves visibility for the
Downward Vision System in weak light conditions.

Using the Vision Systems

When GNSS is unavailable, the Downward Vision System is enabled if the surface has a clear texture
and sufficient light.
The Forward, Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision Systems will activate automatically when the
aircraft is powered on if the aircraft is in Normal or Cine mode and Obstacle Avoidance is set to Bypass
or Brake in DJI Fly. The aircraft can actively brake when detecting obstacles when using the Forward,
Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision Systems. The Forward, Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision
Systems work best with adequate lighting and clearly marked or textured obstacles. Due to inertia,
users must make sure to brake the aircraft within a reasonable distance.
Vision Systems have limited ability to sense and avoid obstacles, and the performance may be
affected by the surrounding environment. Make sure to maintain visual line of sight with the aircraft
and pay attention to prompts in DJI Fly.

Flight
This section describes safe flight
practices and flight restrictions.

Flight
Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to hone your flight skills and practice flying
safely. Make sure that all flights are carried out in an open area. Refer to the Remote Controller and DJI
Fly sections for information about using the remote controller and the app to control the aircraft.
Flight Environment Requirements

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions including wind speeds exceeding 12 m/s, snow,
rain, and fog.
2. Only fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the
onboard compass and GNSS system. It is recommended to keep the aircraft at least 5 m away from
structures.
3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water. It is recommended to
keep the aircraft at least 3 m above water.
4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism such as locations near
power lines, base stations, electrical substations, and broadcasting towers.
5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and
temperature. Be careful when flying 6,000 m or more above sea level, since battery and aircraft
performance may be reduced.
6. Aircraft cannot use GNSS within the polar regions. Use the Downward Vision System when flying in
such locations.
7. If taking off from a moving surface, such as a moving boat or vehicle, fly with caution.
Flight Limits and GEO Zones

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by the regulations from self-regulatory
organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization, the Federal Aviation Administration,
and local aviation authorities. For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by default to help users
operate this aircraft safely and legally. Users can set flight limits on height and distance.
Altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO zones function concurrently to manage flight safety when GNSS
is available. Only altitude can be limited when GNSS is unavailable.
Flight Altitude and Distance Limits

The flight altitude and distance limits can be changed in DJI Fly. Based on these settings, the aircraft will
fly in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:
Max Flight Altitude

Max Radius
Height of aircraft Home Point

when takeoff

When GNSS is available
Flight Limits DJI Fly App
Max Altitude Aircraft's altitude cannot exceed the specified value Warning: Height limit reached
Max Radius Flight distance must be within the max radius Warning: Distance limit reached
Only Downward Vision System is available

Flight Limits DJI Fly App
Height is restricted to 30 m when the GNSS signal is weak.
Warning: Height limit
Max Altitude Height is restricted to 3 m when the GNSS signal is weak
reached.
and light conditions is not sufficient.
The restrictions on the radius are disabled and warning prompts cannot be received in
Max Radius
the app.
The altitude limit when the GNSS is weak will not be restricted if there was a strong GNSS signal
when the aircraft was powered on.
If the aircraft reaches a limit, you can still control the aircraft, but you cannot fly it any further. If the
aircraft flies out of the max radius, it will automatically fly back within range when the GNSS signal is
strong.
For safety reasons, do not fly close to airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines, city centers,
or other sensitive areas. Fly the aircraft only within your line of sight.
GEO Zones
All GEO zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji.com/flysafe. GEO zones are divided
into different categories and include locations such as airports, flying fields where manned aircraft
operate at low altitudes, borders between countries, and sensitive locations such as power plants.
There will be prompts in the DJI Fly app to fly in GEO zones.
Pre-Flight Checklist
