When this baby hits 88 miles an hour…

OK. Received the replacement. I had a small chance to test the drone the day it arrive last week, before the storm winds and Christmas kicked in. Initially the images seemed ok, for the 10 minutes I had to check the shots and video from the drone, but really needed a little more time to test...

So the return is still pending. DJI accepted the return and said that they were going to send out a shipping label. Nothing as yet. so yesterday I contacted them to ask for a shipping label. Their response was an apology and they would get that sorted immediately. Still waiting. Seems like...

Below is a link to the Autel Evo 2 Pro v3 at f2.8 auto. Bear in mind I was testing why the panning was halting due to an OA issue and not trying to win an Oscar for cinematography. At the end of the video was the Mini 3 pro, which is better than the Mavic 3 pro an holds it's own with the Autel...

This time I have done a video of my issue. To me, my problem is quite obvious. I wish I had started with this. There is a short version and long version. The video is shot in f2.8. 100 iso auto d-log. Automatic and Manual focussing. The long version shows what I did as I included the screen...

The oddest thing is, I never asked for any technical information. He rang me to see whether or not, I was satisfied with the new drone. He claimed that he was a photographer himself, and that he understood my problems. It did seem like, he was just trying to make conversation, as possibly I was...

Just tried it. It seems totally automated. Results are extraordinary. Sadly it highlights the two major lens flaws by highlighting the softness. If this alone was to inform my decision, the drone is going back. I have scheduled Friday (my day off) to make sure this is not user error. The DJI...

Ooo. Might give that a go

Lightroom. And capture pne still on the fence on that. Just had no time to fully beat my head over with a stick on that. Taken time off work Friday Saturday and Sunday to make up my mind.

Capture one.

Lightroom. And capture one

140iso, f5.6 Mavic 3 Pro. Not the best of evenings, very overcast. Obviously heavily compressed jpgs to fit on here.

400 iso, f2.8, Autel V3 (with the Sony RX100 mk7 sensor) - A lot of latitude. Obviously heavily compressed jpgs to fit on here.

You hit the nail on the head. Having owned quite a few Hasselblads and digital backs. The film Hasseys are my favourite. All mechanical. The digital backs and their proprietary software and lenses really did not do it for me. Their products are in name only, effectively overpriced knockoffs...
