Which filter, battery, and card does the DJI Mavic 3 Pro need?
Buy the ND filter set and a spare battery. Buy a fast card too, unless you fly the Cine model, which records to a terabyte inside.

What to buy

Battery
DJI Mavic 3 Series Intelligent Flight Battery, 5000 mAh
It fits the Mavic 3, the Mavic 3 Classic, and the Mavic 3 Pro, so a spare carries across the family.
Card
A microSD card up to 512 GB
8 GB inside the drone fills in minutes at this bitrate. Treat the card as required, not optional.
What to skip
A card, on the Cine model
It carries about 935 GB of usable storage inside, and it writes ProRes to that storage rather than to a card.
What matters here
- Takeoff weight
- 958 g. The Cine model weighs 963 g.
- Internal storage
- 8 GB, about 7.9 GB usable. The Cine model holds 1 TB.
- Card
- microSD, up to 512 GB
- Battery
- Li-ion 4S, 5000 mAh
- Max flight time
- 43 minutes
