Frequently Asked Questions

Which professional DJI drone is right for me?

Quick picks: Air 3S (lightweight work & travel), Mavic 3 Pro (versatile all-rounder & inspections), Mavic 4 Pro (next-gen imaging & endurance), Inspire 3 (cinema & multi-operator).

I shoot commercials/short films. Do I need full-frame or 8K?

If you need cinema-grade capture, lens choice and dual-op control, choose Inspire 3. For a compact crew-of-one rig with superb image quality, Mavic 4 Pro or Mavic 3 Pro will often be enough.

Best option for inspections and detail shots?

Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 4 Pro offer multiple focal lengths for safe stand-off imaging. For quick documentation and social delivery, the Air 3S is a nimble alternative.

I need the most portable pro setup.

Pick the DJI Air 3S. It’s the smallest here while still offering strong imaging and omni-directional sensing.

Longest flight time?

Mavic 4 Pro leads for endurance. Mavic 3 Pro and Air 3S are strong performers. Inspire 3 prioritises cinema performance over time-in-air.

Low-light and night scenes?

For creative low-light, start with Mavic 4 Pro. For commercial night work, ensure you follow local regulations and permissions.

Do you offer help setting up and after-sales support?

Yes — Drone Sales UK provides responsive pre-sales advice, after-sales support and price matching across all professional drones listed here.

Do any of these include a thermal camera?

These four are visual camera drones. For thermal imaging, ask us about our enterprise/thermal range. If you mainly create visual content, Mavic 3 Pro or Mavic 4 Pro will be ideal; for cinema work, consider Inspire 3.

Which is best for mapping/photogrammetry?

Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 4 Pro work well for general photogrammetry. If you need centimetre-level accuracy (RTK/PPK and survey-grade workflows), talk to us about enterprise options.

Can I fly in towns or near people?

It depends on the operation category and mitigation. Smaller, lower-class drones (e.g., Air 3S) can offer more flexibility in some scenarios, but most professional shoots in built-up areas need planning and the right authorisations. We’ll advise case-by-case.

I need interchangeable lenses and dual-operator control.

Choose Inspire 3. It supports DL-mount lenses and cinema workflows with dedicated pilot and camera-op control.

What’s the difference between Air 3S, Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 4 Pro cameras?

Air 3S is a compact dual-camera all-rounder. Mavic 3 Pro adds a three-camera system for more framing choices. Mavic 4 Pro brings next-gen imaging and endurance for demanding shoots.

Do these drones record Log/flat profiles for colour grading?

Yes—these platforms support advanced picture profiles suitable for grading, with higher bit-depth options on the upper models. Inspire 3 also supports cinema codecs/workflows (licensing/media dependent).

How many batteries should I buy?

For client work, we suggest a minimum of three batteries. For day-long jobs: 4–6 plus a charging hub. If you expect continuous flying, add a portable power solution.

What memory cards do I need?

Use fast, brand-name U3/V30 (or V60 for higher bitrates) microSD cards and rotate them to avoid bottlenecks. Keep a spare set dedicated to each aircraft.

Do I need ND/PL filters?

Highly recommended for video to control shutter speed and reflections. We can recommend filter kits matched to Air 3S, Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 4 Pro.

How wind-resistant are they?

All four handle typical UK conditions well, but you should stay within the limits in the manual and plan around gusts for stable results. If wind is a regular issue, step up to a heavier platform or plan sheltered launch spots.

What training/licensing do I need in the UK?

For professional work you’ll typically operate in the Specific category with the appropriate training and approvals. We can point you to UK training partners and help you understand requirements for your use case.

What about insurance?

Commercial operations require suitable aviation liability insurance. We can refer you to UK insurers familiar with creative, inspection and agricultural workloads.

Can I livestream or hand over footage on site?

Yes—live output is possible via your mobile device/workflow, and file transfer on site is straightforward with fast cards and readers. Inspire 3 also supports more advanced on-set pipelines.

Do you offer finance or leasing?

Yes—finance and lease options are available to UK businesses (subject to status). Ask for a tailored quote.

What’s covered under warranty—and should I add accidental cover?

Manufacturer warranty covers defects; it doesn’t cover pilot error or accidents. Many professionals add accidental-damage cover for peace of mind—ask us for options.

How quickly can you supply spares and repairs?

We hold common spares and provide UK-based support. Turnaround depends on the part and workload, but we prioritise keeping you operational.

Can I use these for indoor shoots?

Yes, with care. Plan for larger interiors, ensure good GNSS/vision conditions, and use a lightweight platform such as the Air 3S when space is tight.

Which is best for social-first vertical content?

Air 3S, Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 4 Pro support vertical-friendly workflows, making short-form delivery quicker.

I’m upgrading from an older Mavic—what’s the best step?

For biggest jump in image quality while staying compact, move to Mavic 4 Pro. If you’re moving into higher-end production, consider Inspire 3.
