Thanks a lot for replying mneeze. Your insight is very helpful. I have the Mini 3 Pro and have been using the controller that came with my Mavic Air 2 so an upgrade will be extremely helpful (although will break the bank for a few months). Cheers!

Hello, I want to upgrade to the pro controller but I'm wondering if the internal microSD card and/or the built-in 32 GB of memory will simultaneously backup the images taken during flight. Or if not simultaneously, is it possible to download the images from the drone to controller during...

Thank you so much! Definitely worth the upgrade. The detail in the roof tile is much more defined and realistic with the Mavic 3 Pro than with my Mini 3 Pro. My Mini makes the roof tile and bricks look digital. I saw other previous posts about this "phenomenon" but bought it anyway for its small...

Thank you this, but I've seen these comparison video long long ago. Just looking for real life images. I'll press on. Cheers.

Not a mechanical aperture like the Mavic 3 Pro. Electronic didn't make the grade for me.

Hey Hi PhotoDB, Can I impose upon you to post an unedited image taken with your Mavic 3 Pro? I began with the Phantom 4 Pro which had an adjustable mechanical aperture. But I sold that long ago as I photograph a lot for estate agents, within a city, so I downsized to the Mavic 2 Pro and now...

Free video tutorials, albeit you have to sit through those dang YouTube commercials. https://www.youtube.com/thedronecoach $49.00 for the same ad-free videos with over 300 practice questions, dozens of additional quizzes specific to each lesson, and two 60-question practice exams. Great for the...

Yes Felix, the council bye-laws are another topic completely, and oh such a joy to navigate too. :p But regarding flying a drone that weigh less than 250g with GVC certification, my RAE-certified flight instructors said I have a GO for takeoff near people and buildings with a mini-drone, as...

Interesting old post that comes into play when renewing one's GVC certificate in the UK in 2023. The new renewal form on the CAA website actually asks for the Centre of Gravity (CG) of my Mavic Air 2 drone, which is not mentioned in its user manual. Holding the Mavic Air 2 by the front two...

I became GVC certified in the UK to provide aerial imagery of properties to estate agents and property owners in the London area. Over the past year, I've had multiple requests to take images of top level flats but I've not been able to legally launch primarily due to the weight of my Mavic Air...

Thanks for sharing those images Meta4 and those really show off what the Mavic 3 can do! I'm sold as there's a lot more latitude in post with images like that. Cheers!

Those images are impressive but the noise level is surprisingly bad, especially for images taken at ISO 100. The clarity is better than my Mavic, but the images are less than 1MB in size? It seems the tele may digitally zoom in, thus reducing the overall image size. I also saw 1/2500th and...

I've been droning since 2018 and when was just 100-200 feet above a home using my Mavic Air 2, that home and surrounding area looked tack-sharp for real estate and online marketing purposes. But now I'm getting more into landscape and city images and the fixed aperture on my Mavic Air 2 is...

I'm not mapping, so perhaps I'm looking at the wrong drone? I'm a photographer who demands to have control over both shutter speeds and apertures, but I'm old-schooled so I'm assuming mechanical shutters and apertures are better than electronic.

Hi. I'm going to eventually upgrade to a Mavic 3E that provides an adjustable aperture and mechanical shutter, but does anyone know if the aperture is also mechanical or, are all DJI drones with variable apertures (f/2.8-f/11) mechanical or are all electronic. Thanks much! Frank
