    The best drones of 2024: Expert tested and reviewed

    This is DJI’s flagship consumer/prosumer drone. It’s big, it’s mean, it’s noisy, it has three cameras, and is the perfect drone to get the job done. If the conditions will let you fly a drone, the Mavic 3 Pro will deliver.The Mavic 3 Pro features a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor, 3x optical zoom, and is capable of 48MP/12MP photos, 4K/60fps video, and supports the new D-log M. Review: DJI Mavic 3 ProOn top of that, the wide-angle camera now also supports the new 10-bit D-Log M color mode, allowing the sensor to capture up to one billion colors. This not only makes the camera better at capturing difficult scenes such as sunrises and sunsets but also makes it easier to process the captured video.In terms of drones that you can pack away and carry in a bag, this is the most stable, most capable, and most powerful drone that I’ve ever flown. Yes, as with all drones, it takes some getting used to, and it takes time to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the three cameras. But once you master this drone, you have an incredibly powerful platform for capturing unique photo and video shots.Users also echo my feelings about this drone. Over on Amazon, 84% of those who rated it gave it five stars, with reviews packed with praise for this drone’s cinematic output and powerful features.DJI Mavic 3 Pro tech specs: Camera: 1/1.3-inch CMOS, 70mm equivalent, 3x Optical Zoom, f/2.8, 48 MP and a 1/2-inch CMOS Tele Camera 166mm equivalent, 7x Optical Zoom, 28x Hybrid Zoom, f/3.4, 12 MP | Video: 4K/60fps | Max flight time: 43 minutes | Transmission distance: up to 15km More
