DJI Mavic 3 Thermal vs M30T: 1 Year Later 

They need to make the 3T weatherproof. The size makes it highly preferable. Then add add optical zoom and no longer need bigger 30T.

You channel has been so helpful. This video helped me finally bite the bullet and invest in my company. Looking forward to your content.

Again great video. you explain thing well and in layman's terms. Love to see you do one on waypoint missions and search grids with the M30T. Jim

Great Information

Amazing 😊

Great video! Very helpful. Already subscribed....thks

Great information

Great job!

Im new to the drone world and purchased my first drone , the m30T for deer recovery. After using mine this first season and seeing and talking with other operators, i can tell you im very happy with my purchase. Anyone looking to get into deer recovery, i recommend the M30T for various reasons.

❤ thanks

I went with a 210 rtk with z30 and xt2 for my first enterprise drone. Got it all cheaper than what it would cost me for a m3t. Learning as much as I can before I decide if I dip into a 350 or a m30t

Love my mavic 3t 56x zoom and 49 minute fly time

Excellent and informative video. Thank you. I once got certified Lvl 1 and prematurely got my Inspire 2 rigged for thermal. Poor decision. Had one job* lined up when COVID hit and everything fell apart after that. Had no interest in thermal services and a very expensive lesson learned. *Job was to inspect oil tanks in a tank field located in Cushing, OK. The hiring entity wasn't even associated with the site.

M30T doesn’t have Time-Sync. Important to know I guess. The M3T does have Time-Sync and because of that its better (way better!) suited for mapping / surveys.

LOL that zoom out at 6:35. I was like.. no way it goes further..

Flying for more than 32 minutes on the M3T is nearly impossible - even in *perfect* conditions with all the energy intensive functions switched off. DJI was pretty misleading with their numbers - more than they were with the venerable M2 series. 28-30 minutes (100% to 15%) seems to be my average as well as other pilots in the community. But, if anyone has cracked 40 minutes on an M3 series drone, speak up!

Just ordered mine two days ago. I hope I have better luck than you guys. Hopefully DJI service helps out.

Video is very nicely put together - Mavic 3T would make great addition to ranch / hunting / horse operation. Finding a horse under trees / shade next to impossible. No snow, very little rain here. Mavic 3T looks like it. Does it take good pictures/video ?

We got the M30T last month because it's at least -20C for about 4-5 months a year in Manitoba (normally). However, after testing in the cold weather I decided I don't think I would ever do an inspection in temps colder than -10C, and the M3T can handle -10C. At these temps fingers and toes do not last as long as the drone and I have zero interest in freezing my ass off for hours at a time. Building envelope inspection and PV inspection must be done in dry weather so the IP rating of the M30T is a non-issue there. It's also better to fly the small M3E in an urban environment for many reasons. So for us the only advantage to having the M30T at this point is the SWEET RC Plus controller and the extra optical zoom. Sure, we will end up using the IP rating for lost dog SAR the odd time, but we're not making any money doing that. I would argue if you are not a first responder you do not need the M30T. We are considering selling the M30T for the M3T.

Hi guys, can you please help me out on this: which one is the cheapest but still fair image quality thermalvision drone? I need it for wandering livestock at night, nothing fancy. Wont even think will use it daytime. Thanks in advance!

What are your thoughts about the Autel 640T? I'VE BEEN A PART 107 PILOT FOR 2 YEARS JUST DOING ROOFING INSPECTION REAL ESTATE WITH MY PHANTOM 4 PRO AND I'M TRYING TO MOVE UP TO SOMETHING BIGGER AND BETTER AND THERMAL SOUNDS VERY ENTICING. SEEMS LIKE I'LL HAVE TO GET A LOAN JUST TO GET A THERMAL DRONE.

Realistically i havent got more than 25mins ish out of the M30t returning home at 20% battery.

New announcement next week - let’s see what that does to this decision. My guess is it makes it harder by adding one to the mix :)

Lol Deer recovery. Pennsylvania just started arresting people for using drones to recover down deer.

I have a major problem with focus breathing on the M30T. It’s constant when tracking a subject or vehicle and really annoying. Any advice on this?

Will DJI launch a new DJI m30t? Scared to invest now and it comes out in few months or so

Is there any downside to going with the Mavic 3T over the Mavic 3E? I would like thermal imaging as well as the ability to create 3D maps which I know the 3E is great for. Is a 3T with the RTK hat comparable to the 3E with the same RTK hat?

I did

I didn't think we could use rtk in the states

Mine met power lines last night. Destroyed it. Shit happens. But was my fault.

nobody wants to spend more than $1,000 on a drone. no matter what it does

Show me please. All your face talking... Just show it in action please.... Geezuz so little actual footage, but I can tell you about the booger in your right nostril..
