Definitely missing plastic there. There are slots, but there should be plastic between the slot and the inner plate that is screwed on. I wonder if it could be caused by forcing the battery in upside down? Doesn't sound like you would force it though. Good luck with the claim.

No, it was a replacement manufactured I think in Feb 24. Till recently, you could apply to DJI to get originals upgraded with a sticker and firmware update (they will know your serial number). They stopped this recently I believe.

I have had the Air 2S for 4 years and still love it. I like the real 20MP sensor and 22mm equivalent camera, though it does get a bit noisy in the shadows, and you may need to swap to get good even sharpness with the wide lens. I looked at the Air 3S intending to get it, but didn't like the Quad...

Yup, that's how it stitches spherical panos by default. The equirectangular JPGs are not designed to be viewed flat like this, but in a 360 viewer app. I use FSPViewer on PC. If you upload them to Kuula or similar hosting service, their viewer is great, and the link can be posted to forums etc...

The first shot is classic moire, which sadly, the Air 3S wide camera seems quite prone to. It's not helped by the Quad Bayer sensor. If you shoot at 50MP, it is more likely to show, the 12.5MP shots may mask it a bit. It's an interference pattern between the spacing of the pixels on the sensor...

Interesting video. It can't do the drone motors much good catching in a net, nor the salt spray in general, but I suspect they don't last that long!

I find catching it on land straightforward. Switch to Sport mode for the last few feet and lower it above cupped hand, it will still hesitate briefly as the downward sensor is always active. It's a good shape to pinch, and then shut off with just the down stick holding the RC Pro 2 one-handed...

Thanks for those, very useful, and probably sold me on it. I've been dithering between Mavic 4 Pro and 3 Pro. I doubt I would bother with the 100MP files, so useful to see what the 25MP DNGs can do, even without full support in LrC. The JPGs are pretty good too. Were these on default sharpening...

You could try manual focus with peaking enabled to test if it's a focus problem, or a problem with the longer lenses. Do back to back shots MF and AF.

Wow, smooth as silk thanks!

I've got a decent spec desktop PC, and initially didn't think I had anything that would play BK's ALL-I video till I saw VLC mentioned above. Opening via VLC did the trick, but stuttery, better if if you let it buffer a bit first. Certainly looks sharp! I haven't tried it in Resolve Studio, as...

Thanks for those, very useful. Very sharp on the buildings, the trees less so. I'm mainly interested in landscapes, so hoping editing Raws in LrC will improve foliage.

If you just want normal single row horizontal panos, I just shoot manually with about half a frame overlap and stitch in Lightroom Classic. Does a great job with no stitching errors, and a choice of geometry. Most editing apps will do this.

My Air 2S is the same, but at least has the 3:2 sensor like yours, plus the 22mm lens. If I want a wide pano, I just manually overlap about half a frame for 3 or 4 frames and merge Raws in Lightroom Classic. That gives you more flexibility about the merge geometry, and gives great results with...

All true I'd say, but QA seems poor considering the price of the whole drone. A lot of these cheap lenses seem to be de-centred. Only the fussy ones return them, so they get away with it.
