DJI makes Mavic 3 more accessible with Mavic 3 Classic
The new Mavic 3 Classic features the same 4/3 CMOS 20-megapixel camera, 46-minute maximum flight time, and O3+ transmission system as the original Mavic 3 drone, but without an additional telephoto lens. This enables more creators to have access to the possibilities this drone offers.
For video work, the camera captures up to 5.1K/50 fps, 4K/60 fps and 1080p/60fps using H.264 and H.265 encoders. In slow-motion applications, the Mavic 3 Classic captures video at 4K/120fps and 1080p/200fps. The interface is simple, easy to learn and customiseable for controls. The drone never has to be connected to the internet during flight, and transmission systems are encrypted for both the drone’s video signals and its flight controls.
The DJI Mavic 3 Classic is available for purchase today from store.dji.com and authorized retail partners.
Tilta Camera Cage for Sony VENICE 2
Tilta has just introduced a new set of mechanical and electronic accessories that are specifically designed for the Sony VENICE 1 and 2. Let’s look at their new features.
Since the form factor of the VENICE 2 is slightly more compact and lighter and features a fully flat bottom design, Tilta has a whole new set of mechanical and electronic add-ons for the VENICE 2 - but it is also compatible with the original VENICE. The new set of add-ons includes a top plate, a top handle, two side arms, a 15mm LWS baseplate, four 15mm rods (30 and 15cm), and a battery plate for both V-mount and Gold mount options.

'All mechanical parts are aluminum, weighing about 1.9kg as a full set. Several other holes with locating pins for mounting additional accessories are provided on the top plate, top handle, and side arms. Tilta has kept the top plate compatible with the original one for user-friendliness. The position of the top handle is adjustable with an optional extension for grip extension.
The new kit also improves the power options. With the V-mount or Gold Mount plate attached to the back of the camera, it can be connected to two 3-pin Fischer R/S ports (24V and 14.8V) as well as a 2-pin 14.8V power outlet. A dedicated 4-pin male to 4-pin female cable allows the connection to the rear battery plate and the top plate integrating the three 14.8V outputs.
