Yes Felix, the council bye-laws are another topic completely, and oh such a joy to navigate too. :p But regarding flying a drone that weigh less than 250g with GVC certification, my RAE-certified flight instructors said I have a GO for takeoff near people and buildings with a mini-drone, as...

Interesting old post that comes into play when renewing one's GVC certificate in the UK in 2023. The new renewal form on the CAA website actually asks for the Centre of Gravity (CG) of my Mavic Air 2 drone, which is not mentioned in its user manual. Holding the Mavic Air 2 by the front two...

I became GVC certified in the UK to provide aerial imagery of properties to estate agents and property owners in the London area. Over the past year, I've had multiple requests to take images of top level flats but I've not been able to legally launch primarily due to the weight of my Mavic Air...

Thanks for sharing those images Meta4 and those really show off what the Mavic 3 can do! I'm sold as there's a lot more latitude in post with images like that. Cheers!

Those images are impressive but the noise level is surprisingly bad, especially for images taken at ISO 100. The clarity is better than my Mavic, but the images are less than 1MB in size? It seems the tele may digitally zoom in, thus reducing the overall image size. I also saw 1/2500th and...

I've been droning since 2018 and when was just 100-200 feet above a home using my Mavic Air 2, that home and surrounding area looked tack-sharp for real estate and online marketing purposes. But now I'm getting more into landscape and city images and the fixed aperture on my Mavic Air 2 is...

I'm not mapping, so perhaps I'm looking at the wrong drone? I'm a photographer who demands to have control over both shutter speeds and apertures, but I'm old-schooled so I'm assuming mechanical shutters and apertures are better than electronic.

Hi. I'm going to eventually upgrade to a Mavic 3E that provides an adjustable aperture and mechanical shutter, but does anyone know if the aperture is also mechanical or, are all DJI drones with variable apertures (f/2.8-f/11) mechanical or are all electronic. Thanks much! Frank
