Earlier this month, DJI released its long-awaited Mavic 3 drone. While we were able to get our hands on a unit for our review, many of the new and improved shooting modes weren’t yet available to use. We have now confirmed these modes will be available in a forthcoming update set to be released at the start of next year.
In an email to DPReview, a DJI representative confirmed ActiveTrack 5.0, MasterShots, QuickShots, Hyperlapse, Panorama mode and Wifi Quick Transfer are all delayed until a future firmware update – set to be released in January 2022. While DJI now shows this on its Mavic 3 product page, it’s only denoted by a double asterisk with a brief disclaimer in the footnotes, as visible in the screenshot below.

| If you go to buy a Mavic 3 on DJI’s official site, you’ll notice two asterisks next to features followed by a disclaimer stating they’ll be available with a firmware upgrade in January 2022. |
It’s not clear when, exactly, in January 2022 we can expect the update. We will update this article accordingly when the update goes live.













Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
