    Mavic 3 Footage - different zoomed footage in different light conditions

    There are many discussions around the Mavic 3: Is the quality of the zoom camera decent enough? How does the green lens flare look like, when shooting against the sun? - Is it worth the money?

    Mavic 3 Issue's Out of the box...

    I have the same issue whenever I start. Once I started my flight I always had adjust the height as the Mavic 3 when flying forward also went upwards. Once I corrected the course everything was working again as it should. Either a problem of the remote or the software

    I was color grading it in Final Cut with Cinema Grade. The footage from the sunny days have only little correction - without the filters the footage was a bit to bright. The footage from the fogy day has more correction. I wanted to understand for me the dynamic range especially for the zoom...

    Drones flying from a yacht

    No , as I said you need a second person to catch the Drone, so that the pilot can focus flying the drone. The catcher catches the Drone with the fingers between camera and donwnside looking sensors. The pilot is flying the drone approaching the boat slowly from the backside of the boat. (For...

    Drones flying from a yacht

    Here is my video from the San Francisco Bay. Flying the drone from a sailing boat requires some good flying skills and I would recommend a second person to catch the drone when returning. All maneuvers should be exercised before taking your drone on the boat.
