There's no SDK for the Mavic 3 so third party apps are not available.

Hi, Hdzaa. Thanks for reaching out. We are sorry to inform you that the DJI Mavic 3 Classic does not support mapping. We will record your feedback and relay them to the designated team for attention. If you have professional mapping requirements, we recommend you check our Enterprise drones (such as Matrice 300 RTK or Phantom 4 RTK). We apologize for the inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding.

Why do you keep saying this?
DJI hasn't paid any attention to all the requests over the apst year and obviously couldn't care about what the users want.
It would be better for you to not respond at all, rather than giving false hope that something might be done some day.

P4RTK, M300...

May we know why you do not recommend M3E for mapping? Is there something preventing us from doing quality mapping with this drone? or is it simply your script that is not up to date?

They DO recommend the M3E for mapping, Tony just did not list it.

Mapping is the one and only thing the M3E is good for. As of today, it blows at literally any other task you can think of. It does map great though, that's why it's hands down DJI's best mapping drone. So why wouldn't Tony even mention it when someone is asking about a mapping drone? DJI no longer sells one of the very drones that Tony suggested!

Either this is poor, lack of knowledge on your own products, offering horrible customer suggestions.

OR

These bots aka admins haven't had their pool of replies updated for a few years.

Which one is it?? It has to be at least one of these options.

DJI needs to release the SDK for the Mavic 3 series.  I want to use apps on the Classic.

Hello RFK. We understand the importance of your request. Regretfully, we have not received notice that SDK development will be added at this time for Mavic 3 Classic. Please rest assured that we have recorded your request and provided feedback to the related department. We appreciate your understanding. Have a great day ahead.

To be fair (and a little pedantic), that's not exactly true. DJI doesn't support mapping on the Mavic 3 (non-enterprise), but there's nothing about the hardware that prevents it. Unless the DJI MSDK code is terribly architected, it should be trivial to add support for the rest of the Mavic 3 series. You already support the Mini 3 and Mavic 3E...

They made a business decision, not a technical decision.

It sucks.

Hey, Tony.  I bought the Mavic 3 Classic because it was supposed to be "the flagship." I had no idea when i bought it mapping with a drone was even possible. This was an expensive purchase and it's not capable of doing what your cheaper aircraft are? That's crazy. How can it be "the flagship" if it has less capability? You guys should fix this. The Mavic 3 Classic and RC controller are both upgrades over the older aircraft and N1 controller. Users shouldn't be punished for choosing them.

Correction ... you aren't talking about cheaper drones.
You mean older drones.
DJI made a policy change back in the past and no longer provide an SDK for their consumer models.
It's unfortunate for users who could make use of the SDK, but that's the direction DJI decided to go.

Users shouldn't be punished for choosing them.
It's been known for a long time that the Mavic 3 wouldn't be capable of mapping.
Users shouldn't claim to be "punished" because they would like a feature that DJI doesn't offer.
Particularly when you didn't even know of the feature when you bought the drone.

Hello there. DJI has an Enterprise series that supports mapping. Consumer series drones support the surveying and mapping function and DJI does not intend to add this function later. We appreciate your understanding.

We appreciate your understanding.
The users don't understand why DJI refuses to release and SDK and nobbles the Mavic 3 pro like this.
What the users do understand is that DJI doesn't care even a tiny bit what users want or think.

When you say "We appreciate your understanding", that only irritates users more.

Welcome to the fight,

I think that we all know perfectly the reasons why DJI isn't going to release the SDK for the Mavic 3 series and forthcoming models.

are there any plans to install the SDK on the Mavic 3 Classic?

DJI's plan is to not release any SDK for the Mavic 3 series.
They think it better to force you to pay twice as much for an enterprise model.

Hi there. There are no plans announced at the moment. Rest assured we are actively gathering your concerns and submitting them to the relevant team to provide them with feedback. Any news and updates are announced on the DJI official website or the DJI Forum. We appreciate your patience.

I think that there are not plans to support the SDK at the moment and also in the future. The reason for that: DJI Enterprise.

Reality, there will never be a SDK for the Mavic 3 series. Two years and nothing, well then I would say never and feel confident. There are some alternatives, but the actual accuracy will not be great and they are more maps for illustrative purpose, simply stitched pics. You can check out this thread for a software package that will generate flight plans for mapping. No solution for positioning information, since RTK will never be an option for the non-Enterprise craft. If you just want illustrative maps, then this might serve.
Mission Planning Softwarec

Without a precise positioning system you can never make decent maps or 3D models like this:

They used to do very well with Phantom 4 pro and ground control points before drones with RTK systems were available.

Yes and I did it with my Brunton hand held engineering compass as a field geologist, starting with a blank piece of paper. Again, it is just stitched photos with limited positioning which can be 3-10 m off from reality. It is better than nothing, but from a field usability not so much so. My Mavic 3E cost me less than the POS Mavic 3 Pro did ($2,400). So yes, spend a bit more and get the real thing, but not that much more. I do like being able to overlay my images from the Mavic 3T over the better imaging of the Mavic 3E. If I didn't have precise positioning, then it would be for naught. Not much would line up. I am trying to get features that are under a meter in width. Non-RTK puts the faulting pattern way out of wack and rather a waste of time.

Again, there never will be a SDK for the consumer models. Their marketing wizards have spoken with their lineup. Besides, next year I won't be able to use any of the DJI drones with any of the mines I work with.
