    Went from Air 2s to mini 4 pro - BIG MISTAKE!

    In what ways is the Air 3 better than 2S? Thanks

    Disappointed with Mavic 3 Classic image quality

    OP, have you tried increasing your F stop? Your corners then will increase in sharpness.

    Bad idea to buy Mavic 3 classic in 2024?

    I had the Air 2S but sold it 3 days ago because I was given an offer that I couldn't resist. It was too good to pass up. I had it for 3 years. If it wasn't for receiving such a good offer, I would have kept it. So it made my cost of ownership in those 3 years pretty low. I really enjoyed the Air...

    Bad idea to buy Mavic 3 classic in 2024?

    I feel the same way. I'm just 50/50 on the fence on buying a product this expensive so long into it's product cycle. If it was cheaper, then it wouldn't be a difficult decisiion. But even with the $480CAD off or so at my Best Buy, it's still a $2000CAD product once I factor in tax, a hard case...

    Bad idea to buy Mavic 3 classic in 2024?

    The Mavic 3 classic definitely does what I need. But I usually don't buy something this far into it's product cycle. For instance, the Air 2, I bought 7 months after it came out. And the Air 2S I bought the month it came out.

    Bad idea to buy Mavic 3 classic in 2024?

    Well drones is a different type of purchase than other stuff we buy because we need it. Because most people (including myself) don't use drones all that much compared to something you would use on a daily basis. Especially in the winter here, it's so cold and ugly outside that I pretty much...

    Disappointed with Mavic 3 Classic image quality

    Thanks. It seems many owners on YouTube of Mavic 3 got a good copy right out of the first box. I’ve exchanged professional camera lenses before multiple times just to get a perfectly sharp copy and I have to say it’s a major pain in the *** making constant trips back to the store, having to pack...

    Macic 3 Classic - low sharpness

    Have you tried exchanging your Mavic 3 for another unit?

    Bad idea to buy Mavic 3 classic in 2024?

    Thanks. Is the improvements in O4 that much better to O3? I have a feeling that Mavic 4 is coming this year. What months does DJI usually announce upcoming drone models?

    But the drone is what, 1.5 years old now? How often does DJI come out with new Mavics?

    Bad idea to buy Mavic 3 classic in 2024?

    Would you consider the Mavic 3 Classic to be old and dated tech at this point? I’d hate to buy one and then Mavic 4 comes out for the same price later this year.

    Disappointed with Mavic 3 Classic image quality

    How bad is the camera IQ variation on the Mavic 3 Classic? Is it difficult to get a good copy? Should I be expecting to make several trips back to the store to exchange it?

    Bad idea to buy Mavic 3 classic in 2024?

    Seeing this drone came out in Nov 2022, is it a bad idea to buy it in 2024? Or should I wait for Mavic 4 classic with RC3 and OS 4? Tempted because Best Buy has the Classic on for $480CAD off the bundle with RC.

    Landing DJI drones by hand, does it damage it?

    I have two landing pads (each different sizes) and what I don't like about using them is that they're so light so they always get blown around with the slight bit of wind. And then dirt and dust and gravel easily blow onto the pad, so it kind of defeats the purpose of using the pad to land so...
