Image: DJIThe cost of everything from gas to groceries is endlessly rising, but DJI seems to be the only company tackling inflation head-on, by releasing more affordable versions of its most popular drones. First it was the DJI Mavic 3 Classic: a cheaper version lacking the original Mavic 3's telephoto lens, and now it’s the DJI Mini 3, whichsacrifices the Pro version’s best feature: automatic obstacle avoidance.When the DJI Mini 3 Pro arrived back in May, earlier this year, it was a testament to the years the company…

Image: DJIThe DJI Mavic 3 arrived a year ago, with an impressive 46 minutes of flight time and a telephoto lens camera capable of capturing close-up footage from afar. It also came with an expensive price tag: a downside that DJI is trying to address with a new addition to the Mavic 3 lineup called the Classic, which walks back one of the Mavic 3's best features.On the surface, the DJI Mavic 3 Classic is nearly indistinguishable from the original two options: the 8GB standard model and the Mavic 3 Cine (which added a 1TB…

DJI launched the Mavic 3 to glowing reviews in 2021, its Hasselblad dual-camera system, 4/3 CMOS 20-megapixel camera, and decent 46 minutes of flight time marking it out as DJI’s flagship consumer drone. Its starting price of $2,049 is, however, prohibitive for many people, while those looking at the Combo option have to drop an even heavier wad of notes worth $2,849. Well, a year on from the launch of the Mavic 3, DJI has unveiled the Mavic 3 Classic in a bid to win over customers interested in the original model…

The DJI Mavic 3 was unveiled a year ago with a price of €2,100 for the base pack and though the price has come down a bit since, it may still be too pricey for some. They might be interested in the new Classic version instead. Here is the short version – the DJI Mavic 3 Classic costs $1,600/€1,600 (with the RC-N1 controller), down from $2,050/€1,930 for the regular version. However, it is missing the second camera, the one with the 162mm telephoto lens. While there is no optical magnification here, the drone does offer…
