The DJI Mavic 3 Pro is a professional drone with cameras featuring next-level imaging performance. The introduction of a triple-camera setup marks a significant advancement in camera drone technology, featuring three distinct sensors and lenses with varying focal lengths, a breakthrough advancement for aerial photography. (DJI Store, n.d.). The drone is equipped with Hasselblad camera, which is a renowned Swedish company that produces digital medium format cameras and lenses dating all the way back from 1841. The drone also features advanced obstacle detection with eight wide-angle vison sensors. The DJI Mavic 3 Pro stands as a testament to the relentless pursuit of innovation in the realm of unmanned aerial vehicles, redefining standards for professional-grade imaging drones.

A major feature of the DJI Mavic 3 Pro includes the new obstacle detection and APAS 5.0 sensors (Advanced Piloting Assistance System) (Meisenheimer, n.d.). Meisenheimer also further elaborated that these features allow the user to fly even in complex environments, featuring eight wide-angle vision sensors and powerful computing engine sense obstacles. Additionally, these features ensure safer flying closer to objects, as the drone can react to and avoid obstacles before returning to its original course. The firmware also receives an upgrade to ActiveTrack 5.0, representing another enhanced feature compared to previous versions (Meisenheimer, n.d.). These major advancements in features are what make the DJI Mavic 3 Pro is the companies most crash-proof drone ever produced to date.

Another major feature of the DJI Mavic 3 Pro is the Hasselblad Camera. The camera unlocks new shooting perspectives, capturing fascinating scenery, explore photographic storytelling, and making cinematic masterpieces. The camera shoots at 5.1K/50fps and 4K/120fps with a f/2.8 - f/11 range. The 10-bit D-Log M mode records up to a remarkable one billion colours. Inheriting the 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad camera, Mavic 3 Pro essential for the evolution of professional video creations. The camera also supports shooting 12-bit RAW photos with a native dynamic range of up to 12.8 stops, presenting unforgettable image details. The Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) accurately restores the colours the human eye perceives, getting impressive shots without the need for heavy post-production or complex colour presets. This is further supported by Apple ProRes codec support, with built-in 1TB SSD and a 10Gpds lightspeed data cable. The drone also features a transmission distance of up to 15 km with stable signals, presenting a more coherent camera view. It is also further supported with the feature to transmit a 1080p/60fps HD live feed, which enhances the drone's responsiveness to user controls, providing a more dynamic video feed on the user's monitor. (The Drone Shop, n.d.). These features and technologies supporting the Hasselblad Camera constitute a major selling point of the entire drone.

The DJI Mavic Pro also features impressive battery life. The company claims that it can provide 43 minutes of flight time on a single charge, bringing just about 4 batteries, most drone adventurers can shoot footage up to sunset. The excellent flight time provides an abundant opportunity to shoot perfect aerial footage without worrying about the battery running dry (Emmett Sparling, n.d.).

While the drone boasts advanced technology, it also comes with certain drawbacks. The disadvantages it faces are its immense price, compared to its first Mavic, it is three times the price. Controlling the framing of the drone footage can sometimes be tricky. For example, if the user is manually following a car on a road that is riddled with curves, they will need to move the aircraft forward and backward while also yawing to keep it centred. This is much easier if there are two operators, one pilot in command (PIC), and a camera operator (also known as Drone DOP). It also lacks a mechanical shutter; this feature is important as it notably removes the rolling shutter effect in aerial photography. For this reason, the DJI Phantom Pro v2.0 is one of the most popular drones for professionals who work in aerial mapping and photogrammetry projects. Having a mechanical shutter translates into less distortion, which gives more accurate results in maps and 3D models. Drones such as the Yuneec Typhoon H, the DJI Inspire, or the DJI Mavic 2 Pro offer the possibility of using dual operators. Thus, the Mavic 3 has suffered a downgrade in this sense, as its predecessor had that feature available (Daniel Cepeda, n.d.). This highlights certain key drawbacks of the drone, which users have to heavily consider before making the costly purchase.

In conclusion, the DJI Mavic 3 Pro is truly an incredible drone. It comes with a micro-sensor, 5.1K 10-bit videos, 43 minutes of flight time, and some of the best obstacle avoidance in the market currently. The product provides an incredible experience, with features like Occusyn 3+, the controller, hybrid zoom, and ActiveTrack 5.0. The triple camera system featuring the Hasselblad camera provides superior quality to the footage produced when compared to other camera drones in the market.

Formal Introductory Letter

Dear Prof Blackstone, Hello, I am Derek from MDME. I studied in Singapore Polytechnic and graduated with a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. From my youth, what sparked my interest in engineering was my curiosity about how objects interact with each other physically, and how it correlates with maths and physics. In my diploma course, I learnt how to solve complex problems related to design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. This was further enhanced with my hands on experience in my internship at a precision engineering company, where I was assigned to the role of assistant process engineer. My responsibilities include machining raw materials and ensuring they were of precise dimensions. This experience deeply enhanced my passion for engineering on top of the modules that I studied over the course of my diploma. My communication strengths is clarity in expression. When conveying information, I have the ability to explain my thoughts in a clear and concise manner. I
