Flight Restrictions GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System DJI’s Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) System is a global information system that provides real-time information on flight safety and restriction updates and prevents UAVs from flying in restricted airspace. Under exceptional circumstances, restricted areas can be unlocked to allow flights in. Prior to that, the user must submit an unlocking request based on the current restriction level in the intended flight area. The GEO system may not fully comply with local laws and regulations. Users shall be responsible for their own flight safety and must consult with the local authorities on the relevant legal and regulatory requirements before requesting to unlock a flight in a restricted area. For more information about the GEO system, visit https://fly-safe.dji.com. Flight Limits For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by default to help users operate this aircraft safely. Users can set flight limits on height and distance. Altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO zones function concurrently to manage flight safety when GNSS is available. Only altitude can be limited when GNSS is unavailable. Flight Altitude and Distance Limits Max altitude restricts an aircraft’s flight altitude, while max distance restricts an aircraft’s flight radius around the Home Point. These limits can be changed in the DJI Fly app for improved flight safety. © 2023 DJI All Rights Reserved. 21 DJI Mavic 3 Pro User Manual Max Altitude Home Point Max Distance Height of aircraft when taking off Home Point not manually updated during flight Strong GNSS Signal Flight Restrictions Prompt in DJI Fly App Max Altitude Altitude of the aircraft cannot exceed the value Max flight altitude reached. set in the DJI Fly app. Max Distance The straight-line distance from the aircraft to the Home Point cannot exceed the max flight Max flight distance reached. distance set in the DJI Fly app. Weak GNSS Signal Flight Restrictions Prompt in DJI Fly App • Height is restricted to 30 m from the takeoff point if lighting is sufficient. Max Altitude • Height is restricted to 5 m above the ground if lighting is not sufficient and the Infrared Max flight altitude reached. Sensing System is operating. • Height is restricted to 30 m from the takeoff point if lighting is not sufficient and the Infrared Sensing System is not operating. Max Distance No limits • The altitude limit when the GNSS is weak will not be restricted if there was a strong GNSS signal (GNSS signal strength ≥ 2) when the aircraft was powered on. • If an aircraft exceeds a specified limit, the pilot can still control the aircraft but cannot fly any closer to the restricted area. • For safety reasons, DO NOT fly the aircraft close to airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines, city centers, or other sensitive areas. Only fly the aircraft within a visual line of sight. 22 © 2023 DJI All Rights Reserved. DJI Mavic 3 Pro User Manual GEO Zones DJI’s GEO system designates safe flight locations, provides risk levels and safety notices for individual flights and offers information on restricted airspace. All restricted flight areas are referred to as GEO Zones, which are further divided into Restricted Zones, Authorization Zones, Warning Zones, Enhanced Warning Zones, and Altitude Zones. Users can view such information in real-time in the DJI Fly app. GEO Zones are specific flight areas, including but not limited to airports, large event venues, locations where public emergencies have occurred (such as forest fires), nuclear power plants, prisons, government properties, and military facilities. By default, the GEO system limits takeoffs and flights in zones that may cause safety or security concerns. A GEO Zone map that contains comprehensive information on GEO Zones around the globe is available on the official DJI website: https://fly-safe.dji.com/nfz/nfz-query. Unlocking GEO Zones To satisfy the needs of different users, DJI provides two unlocking modes: Self-Unlocking and Custom Unlocking. Users may request on the DJI Fly Safe website. Self-Unlocking is intended for unlocking Authorization Zones. To complete Self-Unlocking, the user must submit an unlocking request via the DJI Fly Safe website at https://fly-safe.dji. com. Once the unlocking request is approved, the user may synchronize the unlocking license through the DJI Fly app. To unlock the zone, alternatively, the user may launch or fly the aircraft directly into the approved Authorization Zone and follow the prompts in DJI Fly to unlock the zone. Custom Unlocking is tailored for users with special requirements. It designates user-defined custom flight areas and provides flight permission documents specific to the needs of different users. This unlocking option is available in all countries and regions and can be requested via the DJI Fly Safe website at https://fly-safe.dji.com. • To ensure flight safety, the aircraft will not be able to fly out of the unlocked zone after entering it.

DJI Mavic 3 Pro User Manual Aircraft DJI Mavic 3 Pro contains a flight controller, video downlink system, vision systems, infrared sensing system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery. Flight Modes DJI Mavic 3 Pro supports the following flight modes. The flight modes can be switched via the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller. Normal Mode The aircraft utilizes GNSS, the Horizontal, Upward, and Downward Vision Systems, and the Infrared Sensing System to locate and stabilize itself. When the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GNSS to locate and stabilize itself. When the GNSS is weak, but the lighting and other environmental conditions are sufficient, it uses the vision systems. When the vision systems are enabled, and lighting and other environmental conditions are sufficient, the maximum tilt angle is 30° and the maximum flight speed is 15 m/s. Sport Mode In Sport Mode, the aircraft uses GNSS for positioning and the aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed, making it more responsive to control stick movements. Note: Obstacle Avoidance is disabled and the maximum flight speed is 21 m/s. Cine Mode Cine mode is based on Normal mode with a limited flight speed, making the aircraft more stable during shooting. If the aircraft is flying in the EU, the aircraft will switch to Low Speed mode when the flight mode is switched to C on the remote controller. Low Speed mode limits the maximum horizontal flight speed to 2.8 m/s based on Normal mode, and there is no limit for the ascent or descent speed. The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the vision systems are unavailable or disabled and when the GNSS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. In ATTI mode, the aircraft may be more easily affected by its surroundings. Environmental factors such as wind can result in horizontal shifting, which may present hazards, especially when flying in confined spaces. The aircraft will not be able to hover or brake automatically. Therefore the pilot should land the aircraft as soon as possible to avoid accidents. • The flight modes are only valid for manual flight and cruise control. • The vision systems are disabled in Sport mode, which means the aircraft cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically. The user must stay alert to the surrounding environment and control the aircraft to avoid obstacles. • The maximum speed and braking distance of the aircraft significantly increase in Sport mode. A minimum braking distance of 30 m is required in windless conditions. © 2023 DJI All Rights Reserved. 43 DJI Mavic 3 Pro User Manual • A minimum braking distance of 10 m is required in windless conditions while the aircraft is ascending and descending in Sport mode or Normal mode. • The responsiveness of the aircraft significantly increases in Sport mode, which means a small control stick movement on the remote controller translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Make sure to maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight. Aircraft Status Indicators DJI Mavic 3 Pro has front LEDs and aircraft status indicators. Front LED Front LED Aircraft Status Indicator Aircraft Status Indicator When the aircraft is powered on but the motors are not running, the front LEDs glow solid red to display the orientation of the aircraft.

Lighting requirements vary depending on the region. Observe local laws and regulations. Return to Home Return to Home (RTH) brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point when the positioning system is functioning normally. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. The aircraft automatically flies back to the Home Point and lands when Smart RTH is initiated, the aircraft enters Low Battery RTH, or the signal between the remote controller and the aircraft is lost during flight. GNSS Home Point 10 Description The first location where the aircraft receives a strong to moderately strong GNSS signal (indicated by a white icon) will be recorded as the default Home Point. The Home Point can be updated before takeoff as long as the aircraft receives another strong to moderately strong GNSS signal. If the signal is weak, the Home Point will not be updated. After the Home Point is recorded, a prompt will appear in DJI Fly. If it is necessary to update the Home Point during a flight (such as where the position of the user has changed), the Home Point can be manually updated in Settings > Safety page in DJI Fly. During RTH, if the video transmission signal is normal, the AR Home Point, AR RTH route, and AR aircraft shadow will be displayed in the camera view by default. This improves the flight experience by helping users view the RTH route and Home Point and avoid obstacles on the route. The display can be changed in System Settings > Safety > AR Settings. • The AR RTH route is only used for reference, and may deviate from the actual flight route in different scenarios. Always pay attention to the live view on the screen during RTH. Fly with caution. • During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will automatically adjust the gimbal tilt to point the camera toward the RTH route by default. Use the gimbal dial to adjust the camera orientation or press the customizable buttons on the remote controller to recenter the camera will stop the aircraft from automatically adjusting the gimbal tilt, which may prevent the AR RTH route from being viewed. The gimbal tilt will not be adjusted automatically during Straight Line RTH • When reaching the Home Point, the aircraft will automatically adjust the gimbal tilt vertically down. • AR aircraft shadow is only displayed when the aircraft is 0.5-15 m above the ground. © 2023 DJI All Rights Reserved. 45 DJI Mavic 3 Pro User Manual Smart RTH If the GNSS signal is sufficiently strong, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point.

The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point. • During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will adjust the flight speed automatically to suit environmental factors such as wind speed and obstacles. • The aircraft cannot avoid small or fine objects such as tree branches or power lines. Fly the aircraft to an open area before using Smart RTH. • Set Advanced RTH as Preset if there are power lines or towers that the aircraft cannot avoid on the RTH path and make sure the RTH Altitude is set higher than all obstacles. • The aircraft will brake and return to home according to the latest settings if the RTH settings are changed during RTH. • If the max altitude is set below the current altitude during RTH, the aircraft will descend to the max altitude and return to home. • The RTH Altitude cannot be changed during RTH. • If there is a large difference in the current altitude and the RTH altitude, the amount of battery power used cannot be calculated accurately due to wind speeds at different altitudes. Pay extra attention to the battery power and warning prompts in DJI Fly. • Advanced RTH will not be available if the lighting condition and environment are not suitable for vision systems during takeoff or RTH. • During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will enter Straight Line RTH if the lighting condition and environment are not suitable for vision systems and the aircraft cannot sense obstacles. An appropriate RTH altitude must be set before entering RTH. • When the remote controller signal is normal during Advanced RTH, the pitch stick can be used to control the flight speed, but the orientation and altitude cannot be controlled and the aircraft cannot be flown left or right. Acceleration uses more power. The aircraft cannot sense obstacles if the flight speed exceeds the effective sensing speed. The aircraft will brake and hover in place and exit from RTH if the pitch stick is pulled all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the pitch stick is released. • If the home point is in the Altitude Zones while the aircraft is outside, the advanced RTH will fly the aircraft below the altitude limit, which may be lower than the set RTH altitude. Fly with caution. • When the remote controller signal is normal during Straight Line RTH, the flight speed and altitude can be controlled using the remote controller, but the orientation of the aircraft cannot be controlled and the aircraft cannot be flown left or right. The aircraft cannot sense obstacles if the pitch stick is used to accelerate and the flight speed exceeds the effective sensing speed. When the aircraft is ascending or flying forward, push the control stick in the opposite direction to exit RTH. Release the control stick to regain control of the aircraft. 48 © 2023 DJI All Rights Reserved. DJI Mavic 3 Pro User Manual • If the aircraft reaches the max altitude while it is ascending during RTH, the aircraft stops and returns to the Home Point at the current altitude. • The aircraft will hover in place if it reaches the max altitude while it is ascending after detecting obstacles in front of the aircraft. Low Battery RTH When the Intelligent Flight Battery level is too low and there is not enough power to return home, land the aircraft as soon as possible. To avoid unnecessary danger caused by insufficient power, the aircraft automatically calculates if the battery power is sufficient to return to the Home Point according to the current position, environment, and flight speed. A warning prompt will appear in DJI Fly when the battery level is low and only enough to complete an RTH flight. The aircraft will automatically fly to the Home Point if no action is taken after a 10-second countdown. The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. A low battery level warning will be prompted only once during a flight. If RTH is canceled following the warning, the Intelligent Battery may not have enough power for the aircraft to land safely, which may lead to the aircraft crashing or being lost. The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude. Auto landing cannot be canceled, but the remote controller can be used to alter the horizontal movement and the speed of descent of the aircraft during landing. If there is sufficient power, the throttle stick can be used to make the aircraft ascend at a speed of 1 m/s. During auto landing, move the aircraft horizontally to find an appropriate place to land as soon as possible. The aircraft will fall if the user keeps pushing the throttle stick upward until the power is depleted. Failsafe RTH The action of the aircraft when the remote controller signal is lost can be set to RTH, land,or hover in Setting > Safety > Advanced Safety Settings in DJI Fly. If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH automatically activates after the remote controller signal is lost for more than six seconds. When the lighting is sufficient and the vision systems are working normally, DJI Fly will display the RTH path that was generated by the aircraft before the remote controller signal was lost using Advanced RTH according to the RTH settings. The aircraft will remain in RTH even if the remote controller signal is restored. DJI Fly will update the RTH path accordingly. When the lighting is not sufficient and the vision systems are not available, the aircraft will enter Original Route RTH. Original Route RTH Procedure: 1. The aircraft brakes and hover in place. 2. a. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point, the aircraft adjusts its orientation and flies backward for 50 m on its original flight route before entering Straight Line RTH. © 2023 DJI All Rights Reserved. 49 DJI Mavic 3 Pro User Manual b. If the aircraft is farther than 5 m but less than 50 m from the Home Point, it enters Straight Line RTH. c. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins. 3. The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point. The aircraft will enter or remain in Straight Line RTH if the remote controller signal is restored during RTH. • If the RTH is triggered through DJI Fly and the aircraft is farther than 5 m from the Home Point, a prompt will appear in the app to select a landing option. • The aircraft may not be able to return to the Home Point normally if the GNSS signal is weak or unavailable. The aircraft may enter ATTI mode if the GNSS signal becomes weak or unavailable after entering Failsafe RTH. The aircraft will hover in place for a while before landing. • It is important to set a suitable RTH altitude before each flight. Launch DJI Fly and set the RTH altitude. The default RTH altitude is 100 m. • The aircraft cannot sense obstacles during Failsafe RTH if the vision systems are unavailable. • GEO zones may affect the RTH. Avoid flying near GEO zones. • The aircraft may not be able to return to the Home Point when the wind speed is too high. Fly with caution. • Be aware of small or fine objects (such as tree branches or power lines) or transparent objects (such as water or glass) during RTH. Exit RTH and control the aircraft manually in an emergency. • RTH may not be available in some environments even if the vision systems are working. The aircraft will exit RTH in such cases. Landing Protection If the user triggers RTH or auto landing using the remote controller or the app, Landing Protection will activate during Smart RTH. Landing Protection is enabled once the aircraft begins to land. 1. During Landing Protection, the aircraft will automatically detect and carefully land on suitable ground. 2.

The aircraft can actively brake when detecting obstacles when using the horizontal and upward vision systems. The horizontal and upward vision systems work best with adequate lighting and clearly marked or textured obstacles. Due to inertia, users must make sure the aircraft brakes within a reasonable distance. Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing can be disabled in System Settings > Safety > Advanced Safety Settings in DJI Fly. • Pay attention to the flight environment. The vision systems and infrared sensing system only work in certain scenarios and cannot replace human control and judgment. During a flight, always pay attention to the surrounding environment and the warnings on DJI Fly, and be responsible for and maintain control of the aircraft at all times. • Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing are only available when flying manually and are unavailable in modes such as RTH, auto landing, and Intelligent Flight Mode. • When Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing are disabled, the aircraft relies only on GNSS to hover, omnidirectional obstacle sensing is unavailable, and the aircraft will not automatically decelerate during descent close to the ground. Extra caution is required when Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing are disabled. Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing can be temporarily disabled in clouds and fog or when an obstacle is detected when landing. Keep Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing enabled in regular flight scenarios. Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing are enabled by default after restarting the aircraft. • The downward vision system works best when the aircraft is at an altitude from 0.5 to 30 m if there is no GNSS available. Extra caution is required if the altitude of the aircraft is above 30 m as the vision positioning performance may be affected. • In low-light environments, the vision systems may not achieve optimal positioning performance even if the auxiliary bottom light is turned on. Fly with caution if the GNSS signal is weak in such environments. © 2023 DJI All Rights Reserved. 53 DJI Mavic 3 Pro User Manual • The downward vision system may not work properly when the aircraft is flying near water. Therefore, the aircraft may not be able to actively avoid water below it when landing.

The camera also supports 10-bit D-Log video, has a dynamic range of 12.8 stops and an adjustable aperture of f/2.8 to f/11. The equivalent focal length is 24 mm and shoots from 1 m to infinity. The medium tele camera boasts a 1/1.3-in CMOS sensor, with an aperture of f/2.8, 3x optical zoom and up to 7x digital zoom. It can take 48MP photos and 4K 60fps videos. The equivalent focal length is 70 mm and shoots from 3 m to infinity. The tele camera boasts a 1/2-in CMOS sensor, with an aperture of f/3.4 and 7x optical zoom. It can take 12MP photos and 4K 60fps videos. The equivalent focal length is 166 mm and shoot from 3 m to infinity. When in Explore mode, the tele camera can zoom at 28x. • DO NOT expose the camera lens in an environment with laser beams, such as a laser show, in order to avoid damaging the camera sensor. • Make sure the temperature and humidity are within suitable ranges for the camera during use and storage. • Use a lens cleanser to clean the lens to avoid damage or poor image quality. • DO NOT block any ventilation holes on the camera as the heat generated may damage the device or injure the user. • Only the DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine supports the recording and storing of Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Apple ProRes 422, and Apple ProRes 422 LT video. • Mavic 3 Pro uses SmartPhoto mode by default in Single Shot, which integrates features such as scene recognition or HDR for optimal results. SmartPhoto needs to take multiple shots continuously for image synthesis. When the aircraft is moving or using the medium tele camera at 48MP resolution, SmartPhoto will not be supported, and the photo performance will differ. • The cameras may not focus correctly in the following situations: a. Shooting dark objects far away. b. Shooting objects with repeating identical patterns and textures or without clear patterns and textures. c. Shooting shiny or reflective objects (such as street lighting and glass). 66 © 2023 DJI All Rights Reserved. DJI Mavic 3 Pro User Manual d. Shooting flashing objects. e. Shooting fast-moving objects. f. When the aircraft/gimbal is moving fast. g. Shooting objects with varying distances in the focus range. Storing and Exporting Photos and Videos Storing Photos and Videos DJI Mavic 3 Pro has 8GB of built-in storage and supports the use of a microSD card to store photos and videos.
