It happens to be a derivative of the Mavic 3 drone but with a more pocket-friendly price tag while still carrying several of the best features of the latter. What you get on the Mavic 3 Classic is the 4/3 CMOS 20-megapixel camera as well as the O3 Plus transmission system which has been taken from the original Mavic 3 drone. Plus, the Classic version is also capable of staying afloat for a maximum of 46-minutes, the same as that of the Mavic 3.
Another feature of the Mavic 3 that also applies to its Classic derivative is the Mavic 3 Fly More Kit. What you get with the kit is a pair of Intelligent Flight Batteries, a battery charging hub rated at 100W, and a 65W car charger. Also included are half a dozen low-noise propellers as well as a DJI convertible carrying case all of which come for an extra $649.
The Classic drone is capable of shooting videos at 5.1K, 4k, and Full HD resolution. It supports time lapse, hyper lapse, and panorama modes. However, the Classic version lacks the telephoto lens which is included in the Mavic 3. The drone also offers a cruise control feature that will let it fly at a fixed flight speed independently so that you can focus more on shooting rather than guiding the drone itself.
Plus, there also is the ActiveTrack 5.0 feature as well that imparts the drone with intelligent qualities. With the advanced tech onboard, the drone is able to recognize objects and lock onto them automatically. That is not all as the drone is also able to sync the drone’s movement so that the camera is able to capture steady and high-quality shots of the targeted object even if it is moving around.
