    DJI Inspire 3 Leaks

    It’ll be more near $20k when done if you get any care program. The I3 comes with X9 but no DL lenses… each about $1200. If you’re needed more than 3 flight paks, add in about $1500 for 2 additional sets. To take advantage of the RAW it’ll be little bump of $800 for activation license. But...

    Portrait view on Mavic 3 pro

    Going to be more confusing shortly with release of the Mavic 3 Pro. Many refer to Mavic 3 as a Pro model will now be conflicting with the Mavic 3 Pro - 3 Camera model. Then add the M3P... Mini or Mavic?

    Mavic 3 Pro Released with new FW Released as well

    That works great for you if that’s the highlight. The SDK still takes top priorities for me… a M3 Cine purchased early would be a lot more useful with the SDK… I wouldn’t have purchased the M3 Cine if up Ft knew SDK wouldn’t release. Adding a 3rd Camera is very nice, but SDK would be a...

    DJI Inspire 3 Leaks

    Long time waiting for the Inspire 3… the Inspire 2 is the oldest Retail Drone still being sold (recently discontinued). It was a wonderful platform when released, the radio technology was probably the most aging part of the I2 compared to current RC systems. The I2 remains a very capable...

    DJI Inspire 3 Leaks

    The I3 should have a Large Sensor. The I2 had the X7 with S35 Full Frame sensor. I’d assume it’ll have 8K and high bit rates. I don’t think it’ll have lens attached payloads, that would be limiting to the cinematography intended focus group. Depending on Mount, zoom may or may not be a DJI...

    Mavic 3 Pro Released with new FW Released as well

    I’m curious how it will overlap the M3 Cine for ProRes and 1TB SSD on top of the 3 Camera Payload. But as many have indicated, SDK is a deal breaker. I have a M3 Cine, early purchase on statement SDK would eventually be released… major frustration of DJK. Won’t consider unless SDK available…...

    Mavic 3 Enterprise On-board processing for Waypoints & Map missions

    I'd agree, a platform's role appears to have been divided up to multiple crafts within the same series. The M2P was the DJI's last of the full crafts, capable of all tasks... less the mechanical shutter. The I2 has been an outstanding craft, its weaknesses have been shown in newer lower cost...

    New Firmware Update (29-12-2022) - what's new?

    If using a Hack for NFZ or Altitude, and craft flies as desired… don’t update. All new updates on older crafts are also applying the newer blocks to hacks. The only crafts I update are the newer ones where hack or certificate hacks aren’t available since all newer ones already have FW where...

    Well, it happened again. Ken and Karen on the beach.

    Great to hear interaction was pleasant and we may gain another Drone Owner due to your pleasant interaction. I do find it interesting the side reaction to “Ken & Karen”… those have been used for years and didn’t originate in sUAV forum, I believe started in politics. When used in correct form…...

    Mavic 3m sdk

    Received yesterday email indicating DroneLink has applied the new SDK and added the M3Ent & M30 crafts. https://support.dronelink.com/hc/en-us/articles/12084652970643?utm_campagin=Dec_newsletter&utm_source=sendgrid&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Dec_Product_Updates

    Mavic 3m sdk

    True, you’ve indicated that on several posts. Although you & I have been around DJI for long time and have read statments that later changed. The Zenmuse XT2 wouldn’t be recognized on M600pro, then about 1 yr later… it quietly was. It was withheld to encourage migration to the M210 platform...

    Mavic 3m sdk

    That's true... although releasing isn't creating SDK, just add authorized crafts. Apologies, I expanded on Poster's request... and it's connected to the SDK & feasibility of release. Before the recent WP feature updates, I had concluded SDK wouldn't be released for Mavic 3. Now, I'd be...

    Mavic 3 Waypoints are here, is that a sign of the SDK to come?

    I would agree, all the crafts that released under the Go4App had Litchi and 3rd Party support shortly after release. The delay in my opinion was Litchi adding it to their lineup, not the lack of SDK: Mavic, Phantom, Spark, etc. When DJI moved to Fly App is when SDK's started to be delayed...

    Mavic 3m sdk

    Any action or procedure performed is a program call. All these calls are held in a large resource library, and the SDK is a program kit that adds these new features or actions to the large library. Exp, Gimbal Up, Yaw, RTH are all common calls for all DJI crafts. The code isn’t typed each...

    Mavic 3 Waypoints are here, is that a sign of the SDK to come?

    Yep, even the Spark had SDK available. We’ll see on SDK, to add the Waypoints and use on-board processing, those library program calls are already written and in the FW now. To update or bug correct (patch) will in some manor require these libraries to be updated, and they don’t have separate...
