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.

It's mainly marketing that pushes QB I suspect. As in the mobile market, the superficially impressive MP numbers wow the wider market. The drone market is tiny in comparison, so has to choose from sensors developed for mobiles.

No, I barely looked at the JPGs, which are OK but a bit flat. I was trying to get the best out of the Air 3S DNGs in Lightroom Classic. Yes, I'm hoping both DJI and Adobe can help get better results from the 24mm camera sensor.

We can argue specs and tech endlessly, but the bottom line is the quality of the files produced. I've had a chance to edit the 12 and 50MP DNGs from the 24mm Air 3S camera in Lightroom Classic. Adobe added support in ACR 17.1, but got it wrong. It doesn't pick up the profiles automatically like...

I was all set to get the Air 3S, but have got hold of some 12MP and 50MP JPG and DNGs. The 12MP shots seem to lack the detail you'd expect from 50MP pixel-binned to 12. The 50MP shots are sharp but noisy, and sometimes have colour artifacts like fringing and moire as you'd expect with less...

35mm film cameras made 3:2 fairly universal, but 35mm film was originally designed for cinema with the frames sideways along the strip in a variety of aspect ratios. 16:9 is the basic standard video format with many variations. I think most small format sensors are 4:3 as they are cheaper to...
