DJI launch live: we count down to take-off for its rumored new Mavic drone

How can you tune in to today’s DJI launch? There is now a placeholder on DJI’s official YouTube channel above, where the announcement will be made today at 9am EDT / 1pm GMT. If you’re in Australia, that equates to 12 noon AEDT on November 3.

That means we’re now less than five hours away from the official launch, which gives us plenty of time to dig into those Mavic 3 Classic rumours, and find out if this all makes for an attractive potential Christmas present. As someone who bought a DJI Mini 3 Pro earlier this year, I have some reservations about that.

Hi, I’m Mark (TechRadar’s camera editor) and I’ll be your copilot for today’s big DJI launch. I’ve covered and tested DJI drones for years, all the way back to the original DJI Spark in 2017, so I’m looking forward to seeing exactly what lands today.

The event’s ‘Explore Vivid’ doesn’t give much away, but that Hasselblad camera in the teaser poster does point to a new drone, like the rumored DJI Mavic 3 Classic. So if you’re in the market for a new flying camera (or just interested in where they’re gliding), sit down and join us as we count down to take off.
