I reached out to polarpro and asked if they can sell me an extra case that holds 3 filters and they sent me one for free.

So if you're not using the 162mm and using 35-70 on the mavic 3, doesn't that mean you're working jpeg files? The last I recall, the M3 only allowed raw at 24mm and 162mm. Unless I missed something in a recent update. I actually didn't find out the m3 now has a much higher max altitude limit...

The thing for me is, having to apply so much work to get it right for a lens that doesn't have the baseline quality as the primary lens can cause consistency issues if you try to apply the same workflow for different scenes. And if moving objects (ie. Animals) are involved, that produces an...

I think our styles are just different and our output medium may not be comparable. I go to Iceland 3x a year and spend one of those times there for a full 30 days shooting with my Mavic 3. And I've been taking various drones to Iceland for the last 10 years and have never had the desire to go...

Of course. But the problem with the 2 other lenses is the quality is not on par with the primary M43 lens. So for me, the other two lenses are useless. If all 3 lenses were M43, sure, I'd bite. But I won't claim I'd use all 3 lenses when the output quality for each is so different from one...

Ah. I didn't know the Mini 3 can now produce 48mp in RAW. So I did a search outside of this forum to comparing the 12mp vs 48mp raw and I guess depending on the pattern and light, you do see clear differences between the two.

I would agree if you're only referring to Jpeg. If a drone camera has the ability to photograph 48mp in RAW, then that's a completely different story and I'd take a higher mp as long as it's in RAW. In the comparison photo, I would take the RAW 12mp from the Mini 3 or the RAW 20mp from the Air...

To be fair, the original Mavic 3 came out over 2 years ago so I do see the Mavic 3 "Pro" as kind of a mid-cycle refresh with a Mavic 4 in the wings in about 2 years. Almost all product makers do this including drone manufacturers, phones, and automobiles. What is interesting is how DJI released...

I have Topaz Gigapixel as well as the new Topaz AI. I have played with upscaling my photos with those as well as Photoshop and they look good on the monitor but the question for me is how that translates over to print. My plan is to print large formats (60x40) so that will be the true test to...

100mp on a Samsung or any phone versus 100mp on a drone camera or DSLR camera are completely different. I have the Galaxy S23 Ultra and the claimed "200 mp" is pretty much a gimmick. You can't do RAW and the Jpeg format has so much sharpness applied. I would prefer a 50mp or even a 20mp RAW...

I want to say providing a drone gimbal the capability (especially at the M43 sensor size) to rotate to shoot portrait mode would compromise the gimbal performance and overall flight performance but knowing DJI, they probably withhold it on the prosumer level drones because they want folks who...

I don't see how the primary M43 lens can produce 48mp in raw when none of the M43 cameras like the latest Olympus or Panasonic can shoot that. If anything, DJI should consider a pixel-shift technology similar to that of the Olympus and Panasonic cameras where you can handhold and get high-res...

Am I the only one that's been looking for ONE case to hold all of my Mavic 3 filters? I've been searching up and down with no success. Right now, I'm carrying FOUR different filter cases (2 cases with 3 filters each and 2 more cases with 1 filter in each) for my filters and it's absurd. It's...

Like others have echoed on here: it's all about your use case. I have the original Mavic 3 but I can see clear differences between the Classic and Pro. For me, being a photographer, the Classic is the best option. I have zero motivation to gain access to a drone with 3 built-in lenses when...

Does anyone know if I lose any resolution OR megapixels when I crop the Mavic 3 default photo and the aspect ratio of 4:3 to 3:2?
