Where to buyDiscontinued; remaining dealer stock
The DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise — the Mavic 3E in DJI’s own naming — is a compact professional drone built for survey, inspection, and public safety workflows. It is the enterprise variant of the Mavic 3 consumer line, adding a mechanical shutter, RTK module support, and a tele camera with 56× hybrid zoom. It targets survey companies, utilities, construction firms, and emergency services that need a portable, deployable system without the weight and cost of larger enterprise platforms.
DJI has discontinued it. Its US store marks the Mavic 3E as discontinued, and the Matrice 4 series, launched in January 2025, replaced it; see the Matrice 4T.
Pricing
DJI’s US store last listed the aircraft at $3,570, and $3,899 with a year of DJI Care Enterprise Basic; neither can now be ordered. In September 2026 the dealer DSLRPros was selling remaining stock at $4,599.

All figures are DJI’s published specifications, checked against the manufacturer’s specification page on 29 September 2026. FlightBrief has not flown the aircraft.
DJI publishes no IP ingress protection rating for the Mavic 3E. An IP43 rating previously appeared on this page and could not be traced to a DJI source; it has been removed rather than corrected.

Wide-camera video tops out at 4K, 3840 × 2160 at 30fps. The 5.1K figure that circulates for the Mavic 3 line belongs to the consumer Mavic 3 Pro and Pro Cine, not to the Enterprise variant.
RTK and Transmission
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| RTK | Optional M3E RTK module, centimetre-level positioning |
| Transmission system | DJI O3 Enterprise |
| Max range (FCC) | 15 km |
Use Cases
Cadastral and topographic survey where the mechanical shutter eliminates rolling shutter distortion and the optional RTK module removes the need for ground control points. Utility and infrastructure inspection where the 56× hybrid zoom allows close visual examination from a safe standoff distance. Emergency services deployment where compact size and fast setup time matter more than payload capacity.
Market Context
The Mavic 3E competes primarily with the Autel EVO Max 4T in the compact enterprise segment. The Autel platform offers thermal imaging as a standard feature; the Mavic 3E requires the separate thermal variant.
Within DJI’s own line the choice is against the Matrice 350 RTK, which carries interchangeable payloads and is IP55 rated, against the Mavic 3E’s fixed cameras and no published ingress rating. The Mavic 3E wins on portability and price; the Matrice wins on everything to do with payload and weather.
DJI’s NDAA restrictions apply — the platform is not cleared for US federal government or military procurement, and buyers under those rules should start from the Blue UAS Cleared List or look at the Skydio X10.
