Introduction
DJI Mavic 3 features both an Infrared Sensing System and Forward, Backward, Upward, Lateral,
and Downward Vision Systems, allowing for hovering and ying indoors as well as outdoors and for
automatic Return to Home while avoiding obstacles in all directions. The aircraft has a maximum ight
speed of 47 mph (75.6 kph) and a maximum ight 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/m2screen 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 oers 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 ight time was tested in an environment without wind while ying at a consistent ight
speed of 20.1 mph (32.4 kph). The maximum ight speed was tested at sea level altitude without
wind. Note that the maximum ight 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 y in a single ight. 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 ight 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 sucient, 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 sucient, the maximum ight altitude angle is 30° and the
maximum ight 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 ight speed is 21 m/s (19 m/s when ying in the EU).
Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode and the ight 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 aected by its surroundings. Environmental factors such as wind can
result in horizontal shifting, which may present hazards, especially when ying in conned 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 signicantly 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 signicantly 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 ight.

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 ight.
GNSS Description
Home
Point
10
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
Point can be updated before takeo as long as the aircraft receives a strong
to moderately strong GNSS. If the GNSS signal is weak then the Home Point
cannot be updated.
Smart RTH
If the GNSS signal is sucient, 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 sucient 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 y to the Home Point while avoiding obstacles and GEO zones. The aircraft
front will always point in the same direction as the ight direction.
4. In order to save power and time, the aircraft will automatically adjust to an angle of 19° and y to the
Home Point once it is near the Home Point. The time when the aircraft adjust the angle and ies 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.

DJI Mavic 3 User Manual

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 takeo 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 ight speed but the orientation and altitude cannot be controlled and the aircraft cannot
be own left or right. Acceleration uses more power. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles if the ight
speed exceeds the eective 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 sucient 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.
3. The aircraft brakes and hover in place.
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 ies to the Home Point. If the current
altitude is higher than the RTH altitude, the aircraft ies 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 ies 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 les to the Home Point.
c. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins.
4. The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.
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
ying 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
ight, however, cannot be controlled. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles if the pitch stick is used to
accelerate and the ight speed exceeds the eective 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 aected. Return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted.
In order to avoid unnecessary danger due to insucient power, the aircraft automatically calculates if the
battery power is sucient to return to the Home Point according to the current position, environment,

DJI Mavic 3 User Manual

and ight 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 sucient 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, nd 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 sucient and the vision systems are not available, the aircraft will enter Original
Route RTH.
Original Route RTH Procedure:
1. The aircraft brakes and hover in place.
2. a. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point, the aircraft adjust its orientation and ies
backwards for 50 m on its original ight 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.
3. The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.
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 aect the RTH. Avoid ying 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 ne 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
conrmation.
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 takeo, the aircraft must ascend at least 7 m before ying 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.
