DJI Mavic 3E and Mavic 3T drones launched in China

Two drones have been unveiled in China by DJI, a Chinese drone company. Exciting features of the DJI Mavic 3E and Mavic 3T include longer battery life for both models. With its mechanical quick wide-angle camera, the DJI Mavic 3E is said to revolutionize small industry drones. The Mavic 3T boasts a 45-minute battery life and thermal imaging capabilities.

The DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise drone series has two versions: Mavic 3E and Mavic 3T (the T is for thermal). While the Mavic 3E is designed primarily for mapping and surveying functions, the DJI Mavic 3T targets firefighting, search and rescue, inspections, and night missions.
