DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise Series

Additionally, the 3TA reduces the pixel pitch from 12 µm to 8 µm, which should enhance sensitivity and fine-detail discrimination in thermal imagery. The temperature measurement modalities (spot meter, area measurement), NETD (≤ 50 mK @ f/1.0), and operating temperature ranges (–20 °C to 150 °C in high gain, up to 500 °C in low gain) remain consistent across both models.

These thermal upgrades are integrated within a proven airframe and sensor platform that retains strengths familiar to Mavic 3 Enterprise users. The 3TA shares the same 48 MP 1/2-inch wide-angle camera (84° FOV, 24 mm equivalent, f/2.8) and the 12 MP telephoto camera (15° FOV, 162 mm equivalent, f/4.4) used in the 3T. The flight performance remains the same: up to 45 minutes of flight time (in no-wind conditions), a maximum takeoff weight of approximately 1,050 g (870 g bare with the enterprise battery/propellers) and a compact folding dimension of 221 × 96.3 × 90.3 mm (unfolded: 347.5 × 283 × 107.7 mm). Navigation, omnidirectional obstacle sensing, and transmission are also unchanged: it uses the same vision + IR obstacle avoidance, GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou (RTK optional), and O3 Enterprise video transmission with up to 15 km line-of-sight range (FCC).

In mission terms, the design tradeoffs and advantages of the 3TA become more pronounced when viewed through the lens of application. The narrower 41.2° DFOV means less ground area per frame compared to the broader 61° coverage of the 3T, requiring denser flight planning for area sweeps or wildfire surveillance. But in return, the enhanced thermal detail and improved sensitivity make the 3TA better suited to tasks where resolving small or distant heat signatures is critical, such as power line inspections, industrial facility monitoring, or long-range search and rescue.

With the release of the Mavic 3 Thermal Advanced, DJI has effectively retired the original Mavic 3T and folded its role into this upgraded model. The 3TA takes everything the 3T offered and enhances its thermal imaging performance with a narrower 41.2° DFOV, longer 60 mm focal length, and finer 8 µm pixel pitch, while keeping the same compact airframe, long flight time, and enterprise ecosystem compatibility. For operators, this means the Mavic 3TA is now the go-to portable thermal solution in the Mavic 3 Enterprise series, offering sharper thermal detail for inspections, monitoring, and search and rescue, while maintaining the versatility and reliability that made the 3T popular.

• Power Line & Utility Inspections: With its narrower 41.2° DFOV and 60 mm focal length, the Mavic 3TA is better equipped to detect small thermal anomalies on insulators, transformers, and connectors from a safer working distance.

• Search & Rescue: The tighter thermal framing and improved 8 µm pixel pitch help responders identify individual heat signatures with greater clarity, making rescues more effective in dense forests, open water, or remote terrain.

• Industrial Facility Monitoring: The enhanced thermal precision allows teams to spot overheating machinery, insulation breakdowns, or leaks with sharper definition, reducing downtime and improving safety.

• Firefighting & Disaster Response: While the older Mavic 3T had a wider 61° DFOV for broad coverage, the 3TA shifts the focus to sharper hotspot detection. Crews can now pinpoint areas of concern with greater detail, aiding tactical decisions in active firegrounds or disaster zones.

• Law Enforcement & Security: The longer focal length and increased thermal detail provide clearer imaging at distance, enabling better tracking, perimeter monitoring, and situational awareness during night operations or in low-visibility environments.
