    Mavic 3 Tele Lens

    The JPG images are created from the RAW capture whether it is done in camera or with conversion software after the fact so there is no reason there would be RAW issues.

    Mavic 3 28X Zoom

    I'm glad somebody else out there is explaining that zoom and telephoto don't mean the same thing and the difference in this case is more important than it is with a land camera zoom lens. Too many "influencers" have made the water muddier than it needs to be.

    Mavic 3 primary camera has lens distortion

    The question is because you seem to not want to post a single full size photo that shows all the edges. People post links to full size images all the time.

    Mavic 3 primary camera has lens distortion

    Posting parts of 3 cropped images doesn't prove anything either. The only way to show what you are claiming is by seeing a full size, well exposed single image that used a fast enough shutter speed to avoid motion blur even in wind. I have to ask ... are you just messing with us at this point?

    Mavic 3 primary camera has lens distortion

    It is impossible to make a determination about this by looking at a composite, stitched image. The only way to evaluate it is to look at the individual images. It may be as simple as the images not aligning correctly which has nothing to do with the lens. I know you say that the individual files...

    ND Filter with different strengths for main and tele lens?

    So what is the right factor for the upper one for a factor of 8 on the lower camera? That is a trick question of course because it can only be correct for a very small percentage of the time. The correct density factor for the upper one totally depends on the aperture being used on the lower...

    Harming birds

    If you swerve to miss a squirrel or a small to medium sized bird, for example, you make yourself less predictable for them and they are far quicker at altering their course than you are.

    Question: whether a drone is considered a "camera" for Spirits Airline?

    You are the one being defensive simply because I am not buying into what you are saying. Nobody said anything about arguing other than you. The specific question by the OP is "They have a policy that you can carry one "personal item" such as a backpack, and additional items like cameras...

    Question: whether a drone is considered a "camera" for Spirits Airline?

    So you think that posts on travel sites about individual gate staff that have nothing to do with gate staff at every other gate in the world is relevant? All rationalizations aside someone from the airline still knows more than anyone on this site. Not liking me pointing out the obvious doesn't...

    Question: whether a drone is considered a "camera" for Spirits Airline?

    Have you contacted the airline? It doesn't matter what anybody here says, only what the airline says.

    Does ND filters help/hinder the dynamic range of the drone camera?

    So how tall is your tripod? I know dozens of people doing long exposure drone photography and entirely for subjects that won't work with a tripod. I guess I am further hijacking but people who like doing long exposures but think they should use one specific tool for it aren't using much...

    Win some, lose some. No D-Log or HLG coming for telephoto

    They do it on the larger mp main camera in 5.1 dlog so I'm not buying that as a reason.

    Is my Mavic 3 just not sharp or is this normal

    I know several people with 3s and have yet to see any "garbage" images or hear of anybody complaining of such.
