That said, DJI still recommends you conduct these modes in open spaces, and away from buildings or other places where the GNSS signal is weak. If an obstacle is detected mid-flight, your Mavic 3 theoretically will brake and hover in place. Your drone is flying upwards, backwards and in wild spirals - and the DJI Mavic 3 provides additional security that it won’t hit something when flying in those motions. What’s especially neat about QuickShots within the DJI Mavic 3 is that you get the luxury of true collision avoidance. You can trigger QuickShots by doing a nifty arm motion - waving your hand and your elbow above your shoulder. But there’s something even niftier: gesture control. You can certainly keep things simple by tapping the shooting mode icon in the DJI Fly app, selecting QuickShots and just following the prompts (such as selecting the target subject and picking out your specific QuickShots mode). To use QuickShots, there’s some pretty high tech involved too. This mode needs even more space than Boomerang mode, requiring at least 40 meters behind the drone and 50 meters above.

This mode requires a radius of at least 30 meters around the drone and 10 meters above. Boomerang: The drone flies away from you and right back.Helix: The drone flies upwards and then in a circle, in a sort of upwards funnel motion.Circle: The drone flies a circle around you (or your subject of choice).

DJI QUICKSHOT DOWNLOAD
To access the new Mavic 3 firmware, you’ll need to download the latest version of the DJI Fly App (v1.5.8). QuickShots are now safer with the far-improved obstacle avoidance, and the high-quality videos look even better with color assistance, among other upgrades.
DJI QUICKSHOT UPDATE
And the firmware update truly enables that tech to live up to its fullest potential. It’s also an incredible camera drone, with a dual camera system that uses both a 4/3-inch CMOS sensor Hasselblad camera capable of shooting 20MP photos as well as a 28x zoom camera. With an Infrared Sensing System, and vision systems on all sides, the drone is designed to be able to avoid obstacles in all directions (making it an excellent follow-me drone).

The DJI Mavic 3 is the Chinese drone maker’s newest product, and it’s pretty epic. Thanks to a firmware update released at the end of January 2022, the drone can now use some of the drone’s best features, including QuickShots and QuickTransfer. The DJI Mavic 3 has received a brilliant new upgrade, and - even if you got your hands on a Mavic 3 drone early on - you don’t actually need to buy a new one.
