DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise In-Depth Overview

The DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise (Mavic 3E) is a compact, highly portable commercial drone designed for professional industrial applications such as mapping, inspection, search and rescue, firefighting, and precision agriculture. It combines advanced imaging technology, centimeter-level positioning, and robust transmission systems to meet demanding enterprise needs.

Key Features

Camera System:

• Wide Camera:
• Features a large 4/3 CMOS sensor with 20 MP effective resolution and a 24mm equivalent focal length. The adjustable aperture ranges from f/2.8 to f/11, allowing flexibility in various lighting conditions. A mechanical shutter (8–1/2000 s) eliminates rolling shutter distortion, while the 3.3μm pixel size enhances low-light performance for sharp, detailed imagery.
• Zoom Camera:
• Equipped with a 12 MP sensor and a powerful 56× hybrid zoom, this camera allows operators to capture precise details from a safe distance—ideal for infrastructure inspections and surveillance—without sacrificing image quality.
• Thermal Camera (Mavic 3T):
• The Mavic 3T model includes a 640×512 px thermal sensor designed for critical missions like firefighting, search and rescue, and nighttime operations. It supports temperature measurements, high-temperature alerts, and multiple color palettes to enhance visibility and decision-making in the field.

Flight Performance:

• Max Flight Time: Up to 45 minutes (calm conditions).
• Max Flight Speed: 54 km/h (normal mode), 75.6 km/h (sport mode).
• Max Takeoff Weight: Approx. 1050 g.
• Max Flight Distance: Up to 15 km (FCC), 8 km (CE).
• Max Takeoff Altitude: 6000 m above sea level.
• Wind Resistance: Up to 12 m/s (43.2 km/h).
• Operating Temperature: -10°C to 40°C.

Positioning and Navigation:

RTK Module (Optional):
Enables centimeter-level positioning accuracy, making it a vital tool for highly precise mapping and surveying tasks.

Satellite Compatibility:
Supports GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, and GLONASS satellite systems. Note: GLONASS is only active when the RTK module is enabled.

Hovering Accuracy:

• With vision system enabled: ±0.1 m vertically, ±0.3 m horizontally
• With RTK: ±0.1 m vertically and horizontally, offering exceptional positional stability

Transmission System – DJI O3 Enterprise:

• Delivers a smooth 1080p/30fps live video feed with ultra-low latency of approximately 200 ms
• Maximum Transmission Range:
  • Up to 15 km (FCC)
  • Up to 8 km (CE/SRRC/MIC)
• Operating Frequencies:
  • Dual-band: 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz
  • Automatically switches between bands for consistent, interference-resistant performance
• Antenna Setup:
  • 4 antennas with 2T4R MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology for enhanced signal reliability
• Maximum Download Speed:
  • Up to 15 MB/s when using the DJI RC Pro Enterprise controller

Safety and Obstacle Avoidance:

• Omnidirectional binocular vision sensors combined with infrared sensors on the bottom for enhanced obstacle detection and avoidance.
• Advanced Pilot Assistance System (APAS 5.0) for automatic rerouting around obstacles.
• Advanced Return to Home (RTH) with obstacle avoidance.

Additional Enterprise Features:

• High-Volume Loudspeaker: For communication or warnings during operations.
• Battery: 5000 mAh LiPo 4S (77 Wh) with fast charging (up to 88 W).
• Software Ecosystem:
  • DJI Pilot 2 (Android) for flight control and payload management.
  • DJI FlightHub 2 for fleet management, live annotations, and mission planning.
  • DJI Terra for mapping and 2D/3D modeling.
• SDK Support: PSDK, MSDK, and Cloud API for integration with third-party hardware and software, enabling customized automated workflows.

Physical Dimensions:

• Folded: 221 × 96.3 × 90.3 mm
• Unfolded: 347.5 × 283 × 107.7 mm
• Weight: 915 g (Mavic 3E), 920 g (Mavic 3T thermal version)

Summary Table

Use Cases

• Mapping and Surveying: Mechanical shutter and RTK enable distortion-free, centimeter-accurate geotagged images.
• Inspection: 56× zoom camera allows detailed inspection of infrastructure from a safe distance.
• Public Safety: Thermal model supports firefighting, search and rescue, and night operations.
• Agriculture: Precision monitoring and mapping for crop health and management.
• Industrial Automation: SDK support enables integration with third-party payloads and automated workflows.

The DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise series redefines compact commercial drones by combining portability with professional-grade imaging, precise positioning, and robust transmission, making it an indispensable tool for industrial and public safety professionals.
