The DJI Mavic 3 Classic with powerful flight performance and a Hasselblad sensor, the DJI Mavic 3 Classic is a powerful filmmaking and photography drone.
The Mavic 3 Classic features a professional-grade 20MP 4/3 CMOS camera and is able to shoot up to 5.1K video.
Capture more content in a single flight with up to 46 minutes of airtime, and benefit from enhanced safety features, such as omnidirectional obstacle sensing and Advanced Return To Home functionality.
Lightweight, foldable and easily transportable, the DJI Mavic 3 Classic is perfect for capturing content on the go and can be used for top-level filmography.
The Mavic 3 Classic is different to the Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine. The main difference is that the Mavic 3 Classic does not feature the tele camera found on the Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine.
This version of the Mavic 3 Classic comes with the DJI RC-N1. This remote controller does not come with a screen and requires a mobile device.
Alternative versions of the Mavic 3 Classic are available. These are the Mavic 3 Classic with the DJI RC smart controller with built-in screen; and the drone-only package, which does not come with a controller or charger, meaning you can use an already-owned DJI RC-N1, DJI RC or DJI RC Pro to control the drone.

UK Age Limit to fly a Drone:
A CAA Operator ID can only be obtained by those aged 18 and over.
However, pilots can be under 18.
The minimum age for a remote pilot to fly unsupervised within the full terms of the Article 16 Authorisation is 10.
There is no minimum age for a remote pilot operating under the direct supervision of another remote pilot (age 14 or over) provided both have the required evidence of competency. In addition, there must be an adult Operator (when an Operator is mandatory).
