    Introduction to DaVinci Resolve - [Full Course] for Beginners (2024)

    Funny, I just switched from Premiere Pro to Resolve and went looking on YT for some training, came across that video watched it yesterday. Good stuff. I feel like Resolve is more intuitive than PP, though it will take a little for the nodes functions to sink into my head. I'm looking forward...

    Launching/landing from a water craft.

    I've done this numerous times from a drifting boat in light winds with a quarter or less of you landing space, with no issues. I've landed on a small portion of deck and done hand catches. You've got a huge landing zone. In your case, try to get a feel for how your boat is swinging around on...

    Mavic 2 pro vs. Mavic 3 Pro photo image quality comparison. (not video)

    I think the 3 is sharper, the details are better.

    Mavic 2 pro vs. Mavic 3 Pro photo image quality comparison. (not video)

    Yes, I am primarily referring to high dynamic range scenes where I intentionally underexpose to protect the highlights and pull the shadows. I often use AEB for that which helps.

    Mavic 2 pro vs. Mavic 3 Pro photo image quality comparison. (not video)

    I have a Mavic 2 Pro and a Mavic 3 (not Pro). The Mavic 3 is better, though incrementally. It's easier to work the raw files and get more out of them than the M2P. There's more detail but still even at low ISO in low light there's a good amount of noise. On both drone files, I usually run...

    REMOTE ID IN MAVIC 2 PRO

    Thanks for the feedback on that, I'm considering that product for my M2P and P4P.

    Is the Mavic 3 already discontinued??

    The Mavic 3 is still listed on the DJI site as a factory refurb, currently out of stock, but the Fly More Combo version is in stock.

    Mounting an iPad Mini on the RC N1 controller

    There are a number of good choices. I use the latest Mavmount, nicely made, not the least expensive option but does last. I still have an use the one for the M2P. I'm using an iPad Air 4 and don't want the risk of it falling out.

    Lifthor Or Not

    I prefer to fly with a tablet for the larger screen real estate, and it's easier for my old eyes to see everything. I've been using Mavmounts since the M2P and the newer version for the base M3 controller works well. I wish the base controller had more customizable buttons and wheels, but...

    To buy refurbished directly from DJI or not?

    I'm guessing the before long stock will come back. How many M3s were sold for the holidays and what percentage of those get returned? Open box items become factory refurbs. Guess I was lucky, bought mine around Black Friday.

    Upgrading from M2P to M3 classic?

    Some real nice gear you have :) M3 is much more stable than P4P and more stable than M2P. I'll probably sell my P4P and keep the M2P as backup...but I'm also interested in how good the IQ is on the Mini 3 Pro. If adequate, it would fit in a backpack with a good amount of other camera gear...

    Upgrading from M2P to M3 classic?

    Hi Jeffrey. I currently own a P4P, M2P and just got the M3 a month ago. I do a lot of landscape and boat photography using a number of Canon bodies - 7D Mark II, 5D Mark IV and R5 - so I'm always looking for better quality drone images. In my opinion, my M2P is slightly better than the P4P...

    To buy refurbished directly from DJI or not?

    I bought a factory refurbed M3 last month and it looks perfect, same as new. The only difference was it came in a plain white package. It performs flawlessly. The battery had no cycles on it. For me, it was worth the savings over the price of the new one.

    well done DJI for listening

    You have to either pre fly the route or you can pre program on the controller from what I've seen. No Litchi compatibility as of yet.

    Mavic 3 vs Classic- Other considerations

    Cloud City Drones in RI has M3 batteries for 199. Free shipping on orders over 350. No if you live out of state. They are a DJI authorized reseller. I know it's not a huge savings, but I saved enough to buy a cheeseburger :)
