    Mavic 3 Pro lens test

    I wonder if Hasselblad test each camera module separately before its attached to the camera? It seems like (well at least for the M2Pro) that one in ten was correct. That’s 90 drones out of 100 that shouldn’t pass QC. Now in my case all 9 drones were from the same batch, there use to be a DJI...

    Mavic 4 Pro?

    I think they will learn from their mistakes with the M3 launch. It will have all the standard features on day one, plus more. They won’t remove standard features and add them later in firmware. The outcry was too big on the 3 release. - If I’m right here, then I would expect this will delay the...

    Mavic 3 Pro lens test

    I’ve never had a problem with any of my full frame lenses for my A7S3 or lenses for my GH5 cameras. The only issues I’ve ever had was with the original Mavic (went through 3 returns before I got a good one - not all lenses problems though), 9x Mavic 2 Pros (all lense problems) and the 15mm lense...

    Mavic 3 Pro lens test

    Sure mate, perhaps you’re content with photos that have one entire 1/3 out of focus or one entire corner! If I’m paying a thousands of dollars for a flying camera my expectation is the photos are in focus across the frame. I suspect the 9 bad examples were all from the same batch. But even...

    Mavic 3 Pro lens test

    To bring back alive an oldish thread. When I bought my Mavic 2 Pro, I went through 10 (that’s TEN!) versions before I got one where the lens was aligned and the image was in focus edge to edge. This was well before COVID and I can say their QC is terrible. The store I did all the returns on got...

    Mavic 4 Pro?

    I think DJI will learn from the Mavic 3 release and ensure all basic functionality is available from day 1. It took them sometime to release in firmware updates which made the reviews quite negative. Therefore I would assume this will probably add another 6 months on the release date. I’m in a...

    Mavic Air Range

    Are you in Australia? What altitude did you go out at and what freq was it on? Impressive range

    Tinted image after update to v01.03.1000

    According to the DJI engineers the only change they made was reducing the Saturation in Normal mode. Im guessing if you shoot in DNG and RAW there should be no issue

    Strange problem with Mavic/camera...cavitating?

    Just an update to this, I had my Mavic replaced and it doesn't do this anymore regardless of how I fly. What is normal is when the gimbal hits it limits either, side to side or up and down, from hitting or releasing the sticks too hard you will see a sudden jolt on the video and sometimes the...

    Strange problem with Mavic/camera...cavitating?

    It would be good if others could chime in who don't have this problem regardless of how they fly. That way we can get a good idea if this is widespread or not a problem at all

    Strange problem with Mavic/camera...cavitating?

    The thing I worry about is others can floor it in both sports mode and P mode on calm or windy days and not have this problem.

    Strange problem with Mavic/camera...cavitating?

    I assume you've flown yours around in sports mode on a sunny day without ND filters? Especially going full forward and max throttle at the same time? Mine is a lot worse doing this, I don't recall seeing this behaviour on my previous Mavic that this replaces. I wonder if the latest FW is to...

    Strange problem with Mavic/camera...cavitating?

    Did you find an answer to this? Is it hardware or just to hard on the sticks? Interesting that others have never seen this on theirs before.

    Compass redundancy warning - seeing no suggestion in forums??

    Yeah that's mine as well, you will need to send it in. You don't want to be on a single compass and that errors as well causing a potential fly away
