It wouldn't surprise me that the Mavic 4 Pro has better jpegs than the Sony since it's not unusual for more enthusiast level cameras to have weaker jpegs I assume with the expectation users will be mostly using raw files. I was happy with Olympus jpeg files but when I changed to the Nikon D700...

I feel like I'm missing something here but the DNG image even with default processing looks to have quite a bit more dynamic range, you can clearly see each of the clouds with some detail but in the jpeg the clouds are almost completely blown with no detail. However if you want to properly...

What software are you using to process the raw image and what settings are you using? Although something doesn't look right to be getting so much less detail, the raw file has an embedded low resolution jpeg to make it easier to preview the image and I'm wondering if that's what you're using...

Good to hear you've made it through to the other side and I hope your health continues to improve. I've had two friends who have been through something similar recently and I've been a bit shocked how in one case it wasn't noticeable. One friend had been feeling light he had tight pressure on...

These days I really only use my drone to take aerial panoramas for me but it's absolutely worth, I love being able to see familiar sights from a completely different angle and it's a fantastic way to capture new sights.

DJI were unfortunately giving you bad advice here. a USB-A port should always be on the host device (like your PC or whatever you are connecting another client device to). I'm not sure what this port is for on the smart controller although in theory it should allow the smart controller to be...

You need to use the USB-C connector on the bottom if you want to transfer files, not the USB-A port on the top. When you connect a PC to the USB-C port the controller should prompt you to to choose charge only, transfer files or PTP file transfer - if you choose the middle option (transfer...

As mentioned above, this isn't supported on the Mavic 2.

I was curious about the stock for the Osmo Pocket 3 which had been raised for the higher Chinese tariffs however I noticed it's also out of stock and still at the higher $799 price. Are any other similar Chinese products like cameras out of stock as well?

That's correct, it was before the days of USB PD being widespread so it doesn't support it which means it wouldn't have much power to charge a battery over that port. The charger is completely bespoke to the Mavic 2 unfortunately. I'm not sure there's any Mavic 2 owners in the Highlands but...

I'm sure the answer to this is no but thought it worth checking. I've gone on holiday with the Mavic 2 Pro and managed to forget the AC battery charger and the car charger (I thought I kept the latter in the car but I can't find it). From what I can see there's no way of charging the batteries...

I don't have a Mavic 2 Enterprise and while the DJI site doesn't seem to list compatibility on some sections, it does on others and appears that the DJI Smart Controller was shipped with some Mavic 2 Enterprise models plus it mentions it's compatible on this page...

I can't advise on D-log but I think the Mavic 3 had the same liimits: https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=253049

I've dealt with this shipping something from the US to the UK and it was the seller who would be responsible for the fees if the delivery was refused although the US rules may differ. I bought a couple of items recently and due to the item being under £135, I paid the tax to the seller (which...

You've not mentioned why you want to upgrade to a new drone which may affect the answers. Since still photography is the main use of my drone if I was upgrading from my Mavic 2 Pro I'd go for either the Mavic 3 Pro (which is C1 in Europe, the Mavic 4 isn't) since they have the larger sensor size.
