    Much appreciated. Thank you.

    Mini 3 Mewslade and Fall Bay, Gower, Wales

    One of Gower's most beautiful beaches. Mewslade is a secluded sandy cove at the end of a winding valley framed by dramatic limestone cliffs. There is no beach at high tide but at low tide it's possible to walk across to nearby Fall Bay. Taken over 2 evenings. Annoyingly on the first better day I...

    What type of Lens Error is this?

    Interesting. I too have been dealing with this since I first bought the drone and honestly I'm surprised nobody else is talking about it more. I can appreciate all lens's suffer from lens flare but these ugly delineated rings in the corners are something else entirely and totally ruin a lot of...

    Lens flare or scratched lens?

    I mean I expected flaring of course, just not the rather ugly delineated rings in the corner I'm experiencing. I can see the rings on your video though they don't seem to stand out quite as much as on mine. Then I have other members saying they've never experienced it on theirs and it's atypical...

    Lens flare or scratched lens?

    Did you see the video I posted above by Tom photoix it also shows the same ring effect in the corners. Apart from him I haven't seen anyone else reporting this problem so I do wonder if it's just a bad batch. I think I'll contact dji next week see what they have to say.

    Lens flare or scratched lens?

    It's something I'm considering certainly. Maybe mine is part of a bad batch as I haven't seen anyone else mention this problem. I found this video on YouTube from someone else with a mini 3 that suffers the same issue. If you look at .38 seconds and again at 1.04 you can see the effect in the...

    Lens flare or scratched lens?

    Thanks. I tried with nd filters but the problem didn't go away. From the sounds of it it's just internal reflections and not dust or a scratch on the lens. I actually bought that lens hood in the hope it would help but alas it made no difference and worse it was visible in the top of the frame...

    Lens flare or scratched lens?

    I see. I'm just surprised how much worse it is than the mini 2 which didn't seem to suffer from this effect at all. So long as it's not dust or a scratch then I guess i'll just have to put up with it. Also I've tried without the lens cover and using nd filters and it doesn't change anything...

    Lens flare or scratched lens?

    When shooting at low light, at a slight angle from the sun, I get these really intrusive markings showing up in the bottom corner. Not sure if I've somehow managed to scratch the lens or if it's just normal behaviour for the mini 3. I can only compare it to the mini 2 I had before which, didn't...

    Mini 3 Three Cliffs Bay and Pennard Castle at sunset

    That's awesome. Anything for the perfect shot right!? Looks a lot of fun. That said i do enjoy being able to get comparable shots with both my feet on the ground and with less of the risk to life aspect!

    Thanks for your comment. And that sounds like a dream job. Were you the pilot or the one hanging out the side!?

    Mini 3 Three Cliffs Bay and Pennard Castle at sunset

    Hi Len, I'm aware of the flight restriction zone around three cliffs. I had been in contact with the airport tower on two occasions prior to my flight and they seemed quite relaxed about it and gave me permission no problem.
