Introduction
DJI Mavic 3 features both an Infrared Sensing System and Forward, Backward, Upward, Lateral,
and Downward Vision Systems, allowing for hovering and flying indoors as well as outdoors and for
automatic Return to Home while avoiding obstacles in all directions. The aircraft has a maximum flight
speed of 47 mph (75.6 kph) and a maximum flight time of 46 minutes.
The DJI RC Pro remote controller has a built-in 5.5-in high brightness 1000cd/m
2
screen 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. The RC-N1
remote controller 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 offers 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 flight time was tested in an environment without wind while flying at a consistent flight
speed of 20.1 mph (32.4 kph). The maximum flight speed was tested at sea level altitude without
wind. Note that the maximum flight 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 fly in a single flight. 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 flight 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 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.

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 flight.
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 takeoff 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 sufficient, 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 sufficient 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.
RTH Settings
RTH settings are available for Advanced RTH. Go the camera view in DJI Fly, tap System, Safety, and
then RTH.
1.
Optimal: Regardless of the RTH Altitude settings, the aircraft automatically plans the optimal RTH
path and adjusts the altitude according to environmental factors such as obstacles and transmission
signals. The optimal RTH path means the aircraft will travel the shortest distance possible reducing
the amount of battery power used and increasing flight time.
2.
Preset: When the aircraft is further than 50 m from the home point when RTH begins, the aircraft
will plan the RTH path, fly to an open area while avoiding obstacles, ascend to the RTH Altitude,
and return to home using the best path. When the aircraft is a distance of 5 to 50 m from the home
point when RTH begins, the aircraft will not ascend to the RTH Altitude and instead return to home
using the best path at the current altitude. When the aircraft is near the home point, the aircraft will
descend while flying forward if the current altitude is higher than the RTH Altitude.
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 path according to the RTH settings and fly to the home point while avoiding obstacles and
GEO zones. The aircraft front will always point in the same direction as the flight direction.

During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will adjust the flight speed automatically to environmental factors
4.
The aircraft will fly automatically according to the RTH settings, environment, and the transmission
signal during RTH.
5.
The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.
Straight Line RTH
The aircraft will enter Straight Line RTH when the lighting is not sufficient and the environment is not
suitable for the Advanced RTH.
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 flies to the Home Point. If the current
altitude is higher than the RTH altitude, the aircraft flies 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 flies 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 files 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.
such as wind speed and obstacles.
The aircraft cannot avoid small or fine objects such as tree branches or power lines. Fly the aircraft to
an open area before using Smart RTH.
Set Advanced RTH as Preset if there are power lines or towers that the aircraft cannot avoid on the
RTH path and make sure the RTH Altitude is set higher than all obstacles.
The aircraft will brake and return to home according to the latest settings if the RTH settings are
changed during RTH.
If the max altitude is set below the current altitude during RTH, the aircraft will descend to the max
altitude and return to home.
The RTH Altitude cannot be changed during RTH.
If there is a large difference in the current altitude and the RTH altitude, the amount of battery power
used cannot be calculated accurately due to wind speeds at different altitudes. Pay extra attention to
the battery power and warning prompts in DJI Fly.
Advanced RTH will not be available if the lighting condition and environment were not suitable for
vision systems during takeoff 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 flight speed but the orientation and altitude cannot be controlled and the aircraft cannot
be flown left or right. Acceleration uses more power. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles if the flight
speed exceeds the effective 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.
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 flying 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
flight, however, cannot be controlled. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles if the pitch stick is used to
accelerate and the flight speed exceeds the effective 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 affected. Return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted.
In order to avoid unnecessary danger due to insufficient power, the aircraft automatically calculates if the
battery power is sufficient to return to the Home Point according to the current position, environment,
and flight 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 sufficient 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, find 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 and return to home
using Advanced RTH according to the RTH settings. The aircraft will remain in RTH even if the remote

If the RTH is triggered through DJI Fly and the aircraft is farther than 5 m from the Home Point, a
controller signal is restored.
When the lighting is not sufficient 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 flies
backwards for 50 m on its original flight 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 enter or remain in Straight Line RTH even if the remote controller signal is restored during
Original Route RTH.
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 affect the RTH. Avoid flying 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 fine 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
confirmation.
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.

Intelligent Flight Mode
FocusTrack
FocusTrack includes Spotlight 2.0, Point of Interest 3.0, and ActiveTrack 5.0.
Spotlight 2.0
Control the aircraft manually while the camera remains locked on the subject. The mode supports both
stationary and moving subjects such as vehicles, boats, and people. Move the roll stick to circle the
subject, move the pitch stick to alter the distance from the subject, move the throttle stick to change the
altitude, and move the pan stick to adjust the frame.
In Spotlight mode, the aircraft will hover in place when there is an obstacle detected when the vision
systems are working normally, no matter the behavior is set to Bypass or Brake in DJI Fly. Note that the
vision systems are disabled in Sport mode.
Point of Interest 3.0 (POI 3.0)
The aircraft tracks the subject in a circle based on the radius and flight speed that is set. The mode
supports both static and moving subjects such as vehicles, boats, and people. The max flight speed is
15 m/s and the flight speed may be adjusted dynamically according the actual radius. Move the roll stick
to change the speed, the pitch stick to alter the distance from the subject, the throttle stick to change
the altitude, and the pan stick to adjust the frame.
The aircraft will bypass obstacles in this mode regardless of the settings in DJI Fly when the vision
systems are working normally.
ActiveTrack 5.0
ActiveTrack 5.0 is divided into Trace and Parallel, which support tracking both stationary and moving
subjects such as vehicles, boats, and people. In Sport, Normal, and Cine mode, the maximum flight
speed is 12 m/s when flying forward and backward and 15 m/s when flying left and right. Move the
roll stick to circle the subject, the pitch stick to alter the distance from the subject, the throttle stick to
change the altitude, and the pan stick to adjust the frame.
The aircraft will bypass obstacles in ActiveTrack 5.0 regardless of the settings in DJI Fly.
Trace: The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant distance and altitude with a constant angle with the
direction of the subject. The aircraft can track subjects in eight directions including front, back, left, right,
forward diagonal left, front diagonal right, backward diagonal left, and backward diagonal right. The
direction is set to back by default and this setting is only available when the subject is moving in a stable
direction. The direction of tracking can be adjusted during tracking.
Parallel: The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant angle and distance from the side.
In ActiveTrack, the aircraft maintains a distance of 4-20 m when tracking people with an altitude of 2-20 m
(the optimal distance is 5-10 m and altitude is 2-10 m), and a distance of 6-100 m when tracking vehicles
or boats with an altitude of 6-100 m (the optimal distance is 20-50 m and altitude is 10-50 m). The aircraft
will fly to the supported distance and altitude range if the distance and altitude is out of range when
ActiveTrack begins. Fly the aircraft at the optimal distance and altitude for the best performance.

Flight Recorder
The Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems 5.0 (APAS 5.0) feature is available in Normal and Cine mode.
When APAS is enabled, the aircraft continues to respond to user commands and plans its path according
to control stick inputs and the flight environment. APAS makes it easier to avoid obstacles, obtain
smoother footage, and gives a better flying experience.
Keep moving the control sticks in any directions. The aircraft will avoid the obstacles by flying above,
below, or to the left or right of the obstacle. The aircraft can also response to the control stick inputs while
avoiding obstacles.
When APAS is enabled, the aircraft can be stopped by pressing the Flight Pause button on the remote
controller or tapping the screen in DJI Fly. The aircraft hovers for three seconds and awaits further pilot
commands.
To enable APAS, open DJI Fly, enter System Settings, then Safety, and enable APAS by selecting Bypass.
Select Normal or Nifty mode when using Bypass. Nifty mode, the aircraft can fly faster, smoother, and
closer to obstacles obtaining better footage while avoiding obstacles. Meanwhile, the risk of crashing with
the obstacles increases. Fly with caution.
Nifty cannot work normally in the following situations:
1.
When aircraft orientation changes rapidly flying near obstacles when using Bypass.
2.
When flying through narrow obstacles such as canopies or bushes at high speed.
3.
When flying near obstacles that are too small to detect.
4.
When flying with the propeller guard.
Landing Protection
Landing Protection will activate if Obstacle Avoidance is set to Bypass or Brake and the user pulls the
throttle stick down to land the aircraft. Landing Protection is enabled once the aircraft begins to land.
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 when the aircraft descends
below 0.8 m. Pull down on the throttle stick for more than five seconds and the aircraft will land
without obstacle avoidance.
Make sure you use APAS when the vision systems are available. Make sure there are no people,
animals, objects with small surface areas (such as tree branches), or objects with transparent
surfaces (such as glass or water) along the flight path.
Make sure you use APAS when the Downward Vision System is available or the GNSS signal is
strong. APAS may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water or snow-covered areas.
Be extra cautious when flying in extremely dark (<300 lux) or bright (>10,000 lux) environments.
Pay attention to DJI Fly and make sure APAS is working normally.
APAS may not function properly when the aircraft is flying near flight limits or in a GEO zone.
Flight data including flight telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters are automatically

Flight
Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to hone your flight skills and practice flying
safely. Make sure that all flights are carried out in an open area. Refer to the Remote Controller and DJI
Fly sections for information about using the remote controller and the app to control the aircraft.
Flight Environment Requirements
1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions including wind speeds exceeding 12 m/s, snow,
rain, and fog.
2. Only fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the
onboard compass and GNSS system. It is recommended to keep the aircraft at least 5 m away from
structures.
3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water. It is recommended to
keep the aircraft at least 3 m above water.
4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism such as locations near
power lines, base stations, electrical substations, and broadcasting towers.
5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and
temperature. Be careful when flying 6,000 m or more above sea level, since battery and aircraft
performance may be reduced.
6. Aircraft cannot use GNSS within the polar regions. Use the Downward Vision System when flying in
such locations.
7. DO NOT take off from moving objects such as cars, ships, and airplanes.
Flight Limits and GEO Zones
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by the regulations from self-regulatory
organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization, the Federal Aviation Administration,
and local aviation authorities. For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by default to help users
operate this aircraft safely and legally. Users can set flight limits on height and distance.
Altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO zones function concurrently to manage flight safety when GNSS
is available. Only altitude can be limited when GNSS is unavailable.
Flight Altitude and Distance Limits
The flight altitude and distance limits can be changed in DJI Fly. Based on these settings, the aircraft will
fly in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:

Max Radius
The restrictions on the radius are disabled and warning prompts cannot be received in
the app.
The altitude limit when the GNSS is weak will not be restricted if there was a strong GNSS signal
when the aircraft was powered on.
If the aircraft reaches a limit, you can still control the aircraft, but you cannot fly it any further. If the
aircraft flies out of the max radius, it will automatically fly back within range when the GNSS signal is
strong.
For safety reasons, do not fly close to airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines, city centers,
or other sensitive areas. Fly the aircraft only within your line of sight.
GEO Zones
All GEO zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji.com/flysafe. GEO zones are divided
into different categories and include locations such as airports, flying fields where manned aircraft
operate at low altitudes, borders between countries, and sensitive locations such as power plants.
There will be prompts in the DJI Fly app to fly in GEO zones.
