Well, that is quite a long list of specifications but there is really a lot that can be said and described about this drone. 

DJI Mavic 3 released - video


DJI Mavic 3 - product price

Mavic 3 is fully packed with features and the asking price is quite high - over $2000 for the base model. In Europe the base Mavic 3 is 2100 Euro and the Fly More Combo costs 2800 Euro. 
Now there is even higher more expensive version, something that is also new and specific for the new Mavic 3 - Cine Premium Combo which is very close to 5000 Euro (yep, that is not mistake).

Hopefully we will get our hands on the new Mavic 3 drone any time soon and make a proper consumer test. Until then, we will be happy to hear your opinion about the new bird, do you like it, what do you think of the price and would you consider buying one?
