    M2Pro vs M3E - should i upgrade?

    A good question and one I probably should have investigated more before investing in a M3E! I have had a M2Pro for around four years and would have flown 60+ flights on 25+ DD Projects. I was always pretty happy with the results which were mainly mapping rural properties for base layers for...

    Hi there Lasidora, I just purchased a Mavic 3E with the RC Enterprise controller - I would love to have the controller connect to internet without having to tether to a phone or wifi. (I don't want to be flying the drone via 4G, Could you let me know how this is working for you and any links to...

    Mavic 3 for mapping

    Looks like Dronedeploy will be able to run directly on the M3E specific RC Pro controller, at last!! https://www.dronedeploy.com/solutions/dronedeploy-supports-mavic-3-enterprise/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=M3E-FAQs-video

    Mavic 3 for mapping

    Hey Debaser_AZ, so it looks like Mavic 3 is still not compatible with Dronedeploy for flight automation, is this true? Given that DJIs own Terra system doesn't work with Mavics either I would have thought they could have got the third party apps working by now...

    Mavic 3 for mapping

    Yes! Finally a new mavic with a mechanical shutter, and even better, not just a RTK option, but looks like optional module and ground station (so can be purchased separate later)!! It seems a bit unclear whether the RC PRO Enterprise controller is the one and only way the control the drone...

    Mini 3 and GPS data / EXIF tags

    Hi there, I am looking at getting a Mini Pro 3 to use for aerial mapping (in just very limited situations / rough fast maps, otherwise I would use my Mavic 2 Pro as usual) and wanted to confirm whether the photos files produced include the GPS data in EXIF tags? I am hoping to be able to take a...

    DJI Mavic 3 - Mechanical Shutter and Drone Deploy compatibility?

    Hey CanadaDrone, thanks for your reply, that is good to know. I suppose ultimately for me the question is, how does the Mavic 3 compare to Phantom 4 Pro (v1 or v2) when it comes to capturing aerial photos (while moving, at ~100m height above ground). There are obviously lots of benefits to...

    DJI Mavic 3 - Mechanical Shutter and Drone Deploy compatibility?

    I have been waiting for a few years for the Mavic 3, specifically hoping that DJI would get their act together a provide a Mechanical / Global shutter so that the Mavic series can finally actually replace the Phantom, but the specs and reviews seem unclear. I have a Mavic 2 Pro which I mainly...

    Mavic battery not charging

    Seriously, a four-bay battery charger that only charges one battery at a time. Could you come up with a more frustrating and inferior system if you tried....?
