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