    Mavic 4 Sensors

    Yes, you keep posting misinformation - the reason I have to keep replying to you is because you keep posting the wrong information in this thread, you posted that the Mavic 4 pro does not use a 'true' micro 4/3 sensor which is blatantly wrong as I've now had to explain multiple times. You...

    Mavic 4 Sensors

    You can disagree all you want but pretty much everything you think about micro 4/3 is categorically wrong. As I linked to above, your assertion that a micro 4/3 sensor must be a 4:3 ratio is wrong - the micro 4/3 standard allows for 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 and 1:1 aspect ratios. The early Panasonic GH...

    Mavic 4 Sensors

    Micro 4/3 sensors do not have to be 4:3 or any specific aspect ratio, the 4/3 measurement is a diagonal measurement across the frame and there have been other micro 4/3 sensors that are not 4:3 that have been used in micro 4/3 certified cameras...

    Mavic 4 Sensors

    Looking purely at sensor size that would be correct, the Mavic 4 tele lenses use a 1/1.3in (same as the Mini 3/Mini 4) and a 1/1.5in sensor both of which are smaller than a 1in sensor. However I don't really see the point in comparing the tele lenses on the Mavic 4 to the wide angle sensor on...

    worth upgrading?

    Slightly off topic I guess but curious to hear what you liked about the Mavic 3 over the Mavic 2 Pro?

    Is the Skyrover x1 where we're headed?

    No need to sell it in the UK when they can sell DJI products normally and I wonder if there's no integrated controller option because it would take more work to disguise it? I can't see it being that long before it's discovered and they're blocked like the rest of the DJI products.

    Insta360 Antigravity

    The Osmo 360 seems to be using two 1/1.15in sensors and some people think DJI are calculating the '1in equivalent' by adding the surface area of the two smaller sensors which comes to around the same surface area of a 1in sensor. Which if true is just marketing nonsense since that's...

    Mavic 4 Pro - Collision Detection false alarms?

    I've not used the Mavic 4 however on the Mavic 2 Pro the only time I've had problems with false alarms on the collision sensors is around sunset time or there's harsh light angles. At night time it warns the avoidance system isn't working which is correct but otherwise the system behaves as...

    Recording on SDXC cards-video quality question

    The drone doesn't support faster microSD cards because it's limited by the hardware in the drone, there are several faster types of micro SD cards but the Mavic 4 doesn't have the hardware to use them. The older UHS-II spec offers faster speed than standard SD cards and the newer SD Express...

    RAW vs JPG - dynamic range difference?

    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...

    RAW vs JPG - dynamic range difference?

    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...

    Detail of RAW vs Jpeg

    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...

    Hey y'all, doing well!!

    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...

    Has it all been worth it?

    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.

    Smart Controller ~ Connect to Mac/PC?

    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...
