The DJI Mavic 3M is one of the best drones for agricultural mapping, combining an RGB camera with a multispectral camera.

Its upgraded camera array makes it ideal for conducting high-precision aerial surveys, crop-growth monitoring, and natural resource surveys.

The Mavic 3 Multispectral is an efficient aircraft, capable of covering up to 2 square kilometres in a single flight.

Key features of the DJI Mavic 3M include:

• Quality Drone Mapping Visual Camera: 4/3 CMOS 20MP, 1/2000s mechanical shutter speed, 0.7s high-speed burst when RGB camera is used.

• Multispectral Mapping: 4 5MP multispectral sensors. Green (560 ± 16 nm;); Red 650 ± 16 nm; Red Edge 730 ± 16 nm; Near Infrared 860 ± 26 nm.

• RTK Module: The RTK Module provides real-time centimetre-level positioning data for improved absolute accuracy of image metadata.

• Compact and Portable: Foldable and with a maximum take-off weight of 1,050g, the Mavic 3M is easily transportable and quick to deploy.

• Precise Positioning: RTK module provides real-time centimetre-level positioning data for improved absolute accuracy of image metadata. This enables Mavic 3M to do high-precision aerial surveying without using ground control points.

• Sunlight Sensor: Built-in sunlight sensor captures solar irradiance and records it in an image file, allowing for light compensation of image data during 2D reconstruction. This results in more accurate NDVI results.

• Efficient Aerial Surveying: The Mavic 3M can fly for 43 minutes. Cover up to 200 hectares per flight.

• Terrain-follow Aerial Surveying: The terrain-follow aerial surveying can be easily performed in steep-slope landscapes. The drone can also conduct field scouting.

• Software Suite: Import data into DJI Terra or the DJI SmartFarm Platform for detailed maps and models and other insights.
