Amazon is offering the DJI Mavic 3 Cine Premium Combo Drone for $4,499 shipped. Down $500 from its typical $4,999 going rate, which it still fetches at Best Buy, today’s deal comes in as the first discount that we’ve seen on this high-end drone since it was released. In fact, this is a fairly rare discount all around because typically the DJI drones we see go on sale are the low- to mid-range models, and we normally don’t see $500 in savings on them either, making this a particularly notable deal. This drone is designed to give you ultra high-quality footage or photos from above. It has a 4/3 CMOS Hassleblad camera which delivers 12.8 stops of dynamic range to “retain more details in highlights and shadows.” The included battery lets you fly for 46 minutes at a time, and you’ll get three total batteries in this kit for over two hours of flight time with the Mavic 3 Cine before you need to stop.
You’ll find omnidirectional obstacle sensing for safer flying, and the included RC Pro controller has a built-in screen and delivers 15-kilometer max transmission range. Further pushing the video functionality, the DJI Mavic 3 Cine features the ability to record in ProRes 422/HQ/LT as well as both H.264 and H.265 formats which will help out in providing more visual information when it comes time to edit. It also has HyperLapse, ActiveTrack, MasterShots, and Waypoint Flight functions so you can pre-program the drone with specific moves and have it perform them automatically for smoother recording.
