The new version of the drone has reduced in weight from 945 g to 889 g, while maintaining the same dimensions and appearance. Flight time reduced from 45 minutes to 36 minutes, which is the result of replacing the battery with a smaller capacity model (4230 mAh, previously 5000 mAh). Although the reduction in battery capacity has reduced the weight of the drone, it has affected flight time. Other parameters have not changed. The price of the drone is similar, and users can enjoy the privileges of a c1 class, which allows you to fly near buildings and people without the need for an A2 rating.
Accessory capabilities and additional options
Both models support a variety of accessories, including optional speakers, which allow audio messages to be broadcast over a long distance. Depending on the specific mission, the models offer the possibility of mounting additional equipment, such as long-range searchlights or sensors for environmental monitoring, which allows for even wider application in various scenarios.
Summary
The DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise C1 drone as well as the C2 offer advanced features that make them a great choice for special tasks such as inspection, rescue, surveying, and monitoring. Mavic 3 Enterprise C1 stands out mainly because it classifies itself as a C1-rated drone instead of C2. This makes a huge difference in terms of drone use and adherence to certain standards of the class.
