With all due respect, you had the option to wait and see what DJI would do next before buying a M3. I'm often an early adopter too, and sometimes I get burned, but I've got nobody to blame but myself when it happens and being able to use the product for longer does have value. Historically...

Refurbs can go either way depending on who does the refurbishing. If they're products sent back by customers and resold by the same store, I highly doubt they are "examined" beyond checking if there is an obvious physical problem. They're almost certainly just tossed into the refurb stock with...

I feel personally attacked 🤣

I like the compression, I don't like the still image quality or the lack of Log footage, or the lack of an adjustable aperture :) . Also 95% of the time I am wishing I had a wider FOV than 24mm, rather than a telephoto, so it just wouldn't see much use even if it had a good image sensor behind...

As long as the Air 3 doesn't have a 4/3 sensor and a larger airframe they won't be cannibalizing anything, assuming it is even going to be released sometime soon - I haven't seen any rumors. The M3 Classic is what I have been waiting for. I personally have no use for the 1/2" sensor secondary...

Certainly possible, these $15 pieces of plastic are likely produced in bulk for less than $0.01 and I doubt QC is their top priority :)

Sunnylife, however it also looks like on Amazon the identical product is being sold by a variety of different sellers under different brand names. Some different brands even use photos that show "sunnylife" embossed on the actual product :D Same deal with one of the cases I bought. It had...

Do you drive at your vehicle's maximum speed on public roads as well? Same logic :D I'm not picking on you, but some people actually believe what you wrote. People are free to do as they please as long as they accept the consequences but my issue with it is that the people who think they can...

I tried the "frog" looking one that also has protectors for the front vision sensors and I returned it, it was total garbage. Nearly impossible to get off (way too tight around the vision sensors) to the point where I was worried about causing damage. The reason the design is so bad is because...

Every sensor is different here. Some are extremely linear, especially within their native ISO ranges, others are not. The extremes are where ISO ranges are usually expanded (not available in drones) but you can see below the expanded ranges are denoted by hollow circles. I don't have a chart...

Anything that is over/under exposed beyond the dynamic range of the sensor will not be recoverable. The better the sensor's dynamic range, the less noise that will be introduced when more modest recoveries are made as well. Shadows are also easier to recover than highlights on most modern...

This is incorrect in terms of the color cast. You are correct that it has no effect on dynamic range of the sensor as that is entirely separate. Most ND filters can give a little bit of a color cast, especially cheap ones and really strong ones. It's the same in the traditional photography...

As with all drones, you should be setting focus manually and never touching it again for 99% of scenarios. Once you're up in the air, your depth of field is from about 3 feet to infinity thanks to both the tiny sensor size used and the distance from your subject (the scenery). This is the case...

If you want to see for yourself, go on YouTube and there are plenty of M3P range tests with the "cheap" DJI RC where people fly 9 miles out or so. There are also side by side comparisons with the RC Pro on this latest firmware and there is no real difference. It also makes sense, since DJI...

He probably did haha. Not many climbers carry their own stuff up there. Everest is basically pay-to-climb these days, you don't even need to be particularly physically fit, you just need to spend around $30-100K depending on the 'experience' you want. The summit windows are still relatively...
