Even with the SSD it feels like an eternity when shooting bracketed shots. It's probably at least 5 seconds before you can do the next shot. Probably much faster if you shoot with the lower megapixel setting.

A JPG is never better than a RAW file unless you're looking to save storage space or do not want to be bothered with editing. The JPG the drone saves is processed via that original RAW file. The only difference is the processing is done automatically and the RAW file is discarded. If you want...

I seem to experience this issue flying straight ahead more than anything. I have a very hard time even hitting top speed. Like sometimes it will only go like 14 mph straight ahead with the stick pushed 100%. Other times it will try to go fast but then obstacle avoidance causes it to brake like...

Yeah.. I've noticed it on my Mavic 3 Pro but not even close to this bad. The Mavic 3 would struggle when flying towards the sun but I was experiencing these issues with the 4 Pro even at night.

I also had issues with obstacle avoidance. It kept seeing things that weren't there. I wasn't even close to hitting anything and it would just brake automatically. It looked like a bucking bull. Very strange.

The Air does not shoot true vertical (as in the gimbal rotating vertically). The Mini does. The problem with the Mini is that it only has that 1 wide camera. I LOVE having the telephoto cameras on the Mavic 3 Pro.

Vertical shooting was only available on the original Mavic and currently the Mini 4 Pro. Vertical shooting is SUPER important for those who post on Instagram and TikTok, and even Facebook. All of the video on those platforms is vertical. Having to crop vertical from a landscape shot is not good...

Mavic 4 better have a rotating camera like the mini.

ND filters are pointless at night unless you want a ridiculous shutter speed of like 5 seconds or more which will just look like a mess.

No in the 2nd video I actually stopped the hyperlapse as soon as I saw it starting to yaw. It started yawing after only a minute or so into the hyperlapse shot.

Any idea how to get that .txt file? All the instructions I've found so far have led me to nothing :(

Last night I tried doing two hyperlapses and both had these big yaws to the left and right. No idea what was causing this. I don't think it was wind for 2 reasons.. it wasn't windy and the yaw occurs over several frames. In the first video the last yaw to the right happens through about 12...

All cameras and lenses have flares when you shoot directly or nearly directly into the sun. I shoot with a Sony A7R5 and Sony G Master lenses.. they all flare. If you don't want flare, don't shoot into the sun.

I mean that's about as good as I would expect it to be. So many factors can determine how stable the shot is. Wind obviously. The other factor is if you have anything somewhat close to the drone, like the bridge in that video. Anything close to the camera will exaggerate any minor movement of...

I use PolarPro filters on my Sony cameras and had them for the original Mavic 3. They're all excellent. I have them pre-ordered for the M3P.
