FAQ

Aircraft
What countries/regions is DJI Mavic 3M available for purchase and use?
DJI Mavic 3M is available in Mainland China, North America, and other select regions. For more specific information regarding use and availability, check the official DJI website at https://ag.dji.com/mavic-3-m
What should I be aware of when using the DJI Mavic 3M’s sunlight sensor?
You should avoid blocking the sunlight sensor when it is in use. For example, the vegetation indices, such as NDVI, cannot be obtained when it is blocked. In addition, you should avoid rubbing the sensor, since its performance will be affected if the surface is scratched.
Is DJI Mavic 3M waterproof?
No.
How does DJI Mavic 3M use network RTK services without a 4G network card (including a SIM card)?
You can connect to the network RTK by using Wi-Fi on the remote controller.
Is the DJI Mavic 3M network RTK service bound to the remote controller or the aircraft?
It is bound to the remote controller.
Gimbal Cameras
How many cameras does DJI Mavic 3M have? What are the wavelengths for the multispectral cameras?
DJI Mavic 3M features four 5.5MP single-band cameras and one 20MP RGB camera. The single-band cameras are as follows: green (G) 550 nm ± 16 nm, red (R): 650 nm ± 16 nm, Red edge (RE): 730 nm ± 16 nm, and Near-infrared (NIR): 860 nm ± 26 nm.
What is the impact of not having the blue band for DJI Mavic 3M?
The monitoring of most crops and vegetation relies mainly on near infrared, red edge, red and green bands. For example, the NDVI, NDRE and GNDVI indices, commonly used for crop health monitoring, only use two to three of these four bands. Therefore, the absence of the blue band will have minimal impact on applications such as monitoring of crop growth and environments, as well as natural resource investigations.
What is the focal length of each camera of the DJI Mavic 3M Multispectral Camera?
Multispectral focal length: 4.34 mm (focal length); 25 mm (35mm equivalent focal range)

DN value.
Does DJI Mavic 3M support image position compensation?
Each of the five camera sensor centers has been compensated in the photo EXIF coordinates according to its position relative to the on-board D-RTK antenna phase center. When the images are mapped, the DJI Terra or DJI SmartFarm Platform automatically uses this parameter for position compensation to ensure the accuracy of the map position.
Does the DJI Mavic 3M camera have distortion correction?
Distortions in visible and multispectral cameras are individually corrected before they are shipped.
Does the DJI Mavic 3M camera correct vignetting?
The original photo generated does not come with vignetting correction, but the parameters used for vignetting correction are included with each photograph.
Are the locations of photos taken by DJI Mavic 3M time synced?
All five cameras are time synchronized.
Where are the photos taken by the DJI Mavic 3M camera saved?
The storage paths are as follows. For normal photography: SD card-DCIM-DJI_2022********_***
For flight path operation: SD card-DCIM-DJI_2022********_***_task name
What are the recommended settings for the DJI Mavic 3M camera?
