    A "standardized" lens testing community effort?

    Exactly. But the manufacturers dont do that. And even if they did, they will provide their generic spec data, and from what I read they sell plenty of lemons too. Not everyone knows how to spot one, especially in the absence of references.

    The Latest Effort to Ban DJI in America.

    There are a lot of electronic toys out there and all are made in China. Maybe Barbie and baby monitors secretly talk to Xi Jinping? That being said, never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups (i.e. politicians). They can use this as a diversionary way to avoid taking care of...

    A "standardized" lens testing community effort?

    hi all, I am really new to this, I am an amateur in drones but been doing photography for many many years. Its depressing how little hard data there is on comparing drones in terms of image quality depending on lenses, models, lemons versus up-to-spec, etc etc. Some folks know how to test new...

    Travel to the USA

    I wish Spain was equally painless but its not. You folks shave some red tape there that make it impossible to fly if coming from overseas, even though in theory is possible. I guess the US still remains THE free country... :)

    Help with drone registration for Colombia and Chile

    I would imagine its "easier" in the Atacama or in Patagonia, far away from civilization? Im planning a trip. That being said, the situation is similar in other parts of the world if not in most. I dont think you can legally or easily fly anywhere in Africa as a foreigner. And many europeans...

    Air 3 or Mavic 3 Classic?

    Happy to hear there are solutions for bad weather or for mishaps in the water. Is the Rescue Jacket effective for accidental ditching in the ocean ? (granted not in a storm) . Will be in touch depending what drone I settle on. I am also contemplating an Air 3. I currently have an original Mavic...

    The FAA comes-clean on how RID will work (it's bad news) - FAA video review/critique

    Good video but sombre. Its weird. I never understood why drones are potentially more "malicious" than anything else. Cars are dangerous and can be used "nefariously". Lets not discuss guns. A cell phone or camera can be used to "infringe" on anyone's privacy. Is anyone regulating telephoto...

    Is the FAA Killing the Hobby? — Remote ID Myths

    Very nice video! I am a beginner so I have no problem playing by the rules. The first one is interesting though. I live in Tennessee, most likely the rifles capital of the world (or is that Texas?), but I hope folks here are not very good at both using tracking apps and sniping out drones from...

    3 Mavic 3 Tele Respect

    Thank you. Bottom line, is the photo quality from the Air 3 tele better than that of the original M3 tele? I think its safe to assume (?) that the Hasselblad lens on M3 is superior than the standard lens on Air 3. Essentially, I was suggested its worth to invest in an Air3 simply because its...

    Should I sell Mavic 3 Classic for New Air 3

    Hmm, sorry to hear. Ive heard offline that the "Telephoto" of Air3 is "way better" than that of M3 (the original M3 that came with 2 cameras). I have one of those M3s and been thinking wether I should get an Air3 instead. But after reading all these posts I think I shouldn't. I am mainly...

    3 Mavic 3 Tele Respect

    This looks great, thanks. Can you please conform which M3 variant do you have? There were posts claiming the early versions, around 2021-2022 (with a "round" front tele lens) had major issues and that DJI came with a "fix", where the front view of the lens was oval. It was not clear if those...
