The Mavic 3M: See the Invisible, Manage the Essential

Effective aerial surveying requires seeing beyond the visible spectrum. The DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral (Mavic 3M) combines a high-resolution RGB camera with a four-band multispectral sensor to scan and analyze crop growth with total clarity. This compact, foldable platform is built to deliver the precise data needed for modern agricultural production management and environmental monitoring.

At a Glance: Top Technical Stats

• 43-Min Max Flight Time for extensive field coverage.

• 20 MP 4/3 CMOS RGB Camera with a mechanical shutter for distortion-free mapping.

• 4 x 5 MP Multispectral Camera (G/R/RE/NIR) for advanced crop analysis.

• Centimeter-Level RTK Positioning with microsecond-level time synchronization.

• Omnidirectional Obstacle Avoidance for enhanced safety in complex environments.

• Up to 200 Hectares Covered in a single flight for maximum efficiency.

• 15 km Transmission Distance via the O3 Enterprise system.

• Built-in Sunlight Sensor to capture solar irradiance and maximize data accuracy.

Core Performance & Specifications

Compact Power for Large-Scale Results The Mavic 3M is engineered for portability without compromising industrial reliability. Despite its small footprint, it is capable of operating in demanding agricultural environments.

• Flight Time: Up to 43 minutes without wind.

• Max Takeoff Weight: 1,050 g.

• Max Wind Resistance: 12 m/s during flight, takeoff, and landing.

• Operating Temperature: Reliable performance from -10°C to 40°C.

• Max Takeoff Altitude: 6,000 m above sea level.

Subsystem Deep-Dives

Highly Integrated Imaging System The Mavic 3M features a dual-camera system. The RGB sensor is a 4/3 CMOS 20 MP camera equipped with a mechanical shutter (up to 1/2000 s) to prevent motion blur during high-speed surveying. The multispectral array consists of four 5 MP sensors capturing Green (G), Red (R), Red Edge (RE), and Near-Infrared (NIR) bands to calculate vital vegetation indices.

Centimeter-Level Surveying Accuracy Equipped with an RTK module, the Mavic 3M supports high-precision positioning. Microsecond-level time synchronization ensures that the camera, flight controller, and RTK module work in unison, providing survey-grade results for critical mapping projects.

Safe and Stable Transmission The O3 Enterprise transmission system provides a stable connection even in remote rural areas. With a range of up to 15 km, pilots can maintain a clear 1080p live feed while monitoring large-scale agricultural projects and ensuring mission success.

Safety & Redundancy

Omnidirectional Awareness Multiple wide-angle vision sensors provide omnidirectional obstacle avoidance. This allows the Mavic 3M to perform mapping and surveying missions safely, even in complex agricultural landscapes or areas with varying terrain.

System Reliability Integrated software features provide safety alerts and RTH (Return to Home) prompts. The system is designed to provide stable communication for one-way, non-return flights across various standards, ensuring the aircraft returns safely if the signal is lost.

Ecosystem & Modular Expandability

Integrated RTK Solution The Mavic 3M features a dedicated RTK module mounted on top of the airframe. This module allows the aircraft to achieve centimeter-level positioning accuracy, essential for professional-grade agricultural data and repeatable flight paths.

Software Integration Data captured by the Mavic 3M is fully compatible with DJI Terra for high-efficiency 2D and 3D reconstruction. The multispectral images can generate vegetation indices like NDVI and NDRE to improve crop yields and help manage vegetation health.

Use Cases

High-Efficiency Agricultural Mapping The Mavic 3M can survey up to 200 hectares in a single flight, making it ideal for monitoring large-scale crop health, assessing plant growth stages, and optimizing fertilizer application.

Environmental and Forestry Monitoring Beyond farming, the multispectral sensors and reconstruction capabilities enable advanced monitoring of forest biomass, water quality surveys, and natural resource conservation.

Logistics & Fulfillment

Data Security The platform supports DJI’s enterprise-grade security features, including local data mode and encrypted transmission, to ensure that sensitive agricultural and environmental data remains protected.
