If you don’t need high altitude, only to take photos above a crowd, high wall or other distractions, a good alternative in no-fly zones is a long selfie stick, extended up to 3 meters, where you can place your phone, light mirrorless camera with a radio pilot or even a light drone without...

There are many restrictions in both countries. First study the general European drone rules here: Drones & Air Mobility | EASA. There are 3 open categories of flight A1, A2 and A3 with different restrictions depending on the class of a drone: C0 – max 250g, C1 – max 900g etc. and level of your...

That's it. And expressed in a polite way. I’m an old photographer and I am sometimes exasperated when someone compares JPG and DNG and is surprised that JPG is much nicer than DNG. It resembles me the situation in traditional photography when someone compares diapositive film with negative film...

Sorry, When I read my post once again I must admit you are right that it was arrogant. BTW, the bold font was an accidental mistake and not intended

If you finally need a professional quality, taking RAW is the only option. I take ONLY Raw files (with JPG disabled) in all my devises (Nikon DSLR, Olympus mirrorless, and Mavic 3 Classic, as only the Hasselblad 4/3 camera meets my needs). I edit all photos (and videos) first in Camera Raw (now...

One more thing, Why do you take RAW files, if you use Photoshop only to convert them to JPG. This has no sense. Each camera give you the choice of making JPG files, which are post processed by the camera itself and they are much better than RAW files without any post processing. Taking RAW files...

Exactly!. Like with airplanes, also with drones it is important to have all the flying modes, both automatic and manual, well trained and regularly practiced to be ready for situations when you really need them. It includes both RTH and manual return, precise landing and manual landing, hand...

I assume you are right and it’s an important information for the users of original Mavic 3. The point is that since buying Mavic 3 Classic which was initially noticeably cheaper then Mavic 3 but meeting all my needs I was no longer interested in original Mavic 3

Sorry, my mistake. You are right. But as it is not produced any more, it will probably never have an official C1 or any other class certificate, which will be necessary for legal flights in Europe since 2024. Of course it concerns only European users. And it doesn’t change the fact, that the...

It’s not true. But the problem is a bit tricky. When I bought Mavic 3 Classic (just after its release in 2022), only Classic has already official C1 class certification and original Mavic 3 - not, and its official weight was 948g as I remember. Then Mavic 3 Pro was released (weight 958g) and DJI...

Why to buy Mavic 3 Classic? I am the example. I make professional quality photos and videos for stock agencies, and only the quality of the Hasselblad 4/3 camera is what meets my needs. On the other hand, only Classic has class C1 certification for Europe (where I live), weight less than 900 g...

It is not just marketing, but this Hasselblad camera with 4/3 sensor gives really a very high quality of both photos and videos which don’t compare to any other prosumer drones. I make professional photos and video clips for agencies. Before, the best quality gave Phantom 4 Pro, now Mavic 3...

I just follow the opinion of an expert (I don’t remember who), I read a few months ago. So I remove it, as this is not a big problem. Perhaps not only the gimball, but also propellers need to be free and not blocked while turning on and initializing the drone. But maybe even this precaution is...

Here is the best instruction how to hand launch and land the Mavic 3: I do it very often this way without any problems with Mavic 3 Classic

Yes, you can turn on Mavic 3 with folded arms to transfer files to the computer. But you MUST first remove the cover completely, not to block the gimbal and propellers
