Is it possible to get care refresh on grey market drones?

A lot of people are buying it from Adorama rn...

According to this review, anyway: DJI Mavic 4 Pro review – I tried the new DJI flagship for over a month and this is what I discovered This is absolutely remarkable!

If you look at the screenshots of the JPEGs I uploaded, the 100MP image has far fewer visible artifacts than the 25MP version. And of course tons more detail, proven by making it possible to read text where the 25MP image is too blurry.

I literally did that here. One the 100MP image, you can ready the text on the right. With 25MP you can't.

Thanks. It's incredibly obvious how enormously much more detail the 100MP images have. I can't imagine taking once-in-a-lifetime images and NOT capturing the full detail this drone is capable of. I'm sure with RAW the difference will be even more dramatic. One example (400% / 200%...

I didn't see you mention stitching in your workflow? It's very easy to stitch with the drone and the results are a lot better than doing it handheld with my Sonys.

much more detail captured. Nice Way more detail captured than my M3 on all cameras. This is great! This is the first legit comparison I've seen between M3P and M4P. Same subject, same time, same location / angle.

I was on board with you about putting the biggest camera and best lens in the air possible, but after several years of doing landscape photography with drones I've come around to a very different viewpoint on this. 1) For drone photography, a rock-solid, stable platform for bracketing and...

With exposure bracketing, HDR and stitching in LR, you can capture absolutely stunning images from the M3 (and I am sure the M4, too).

I use LR for stitching, and always do a 5-shot bracket. I'm very happy with the results from the M3 most of the time, and expect I'll love the M4 output stitched and bracketed. Wish I had always had the exposure bracketing turned on with all my drones. Live and learn!

Here it is downrezzed to 20 MP, so it is directly comparable to the Mavic 3. Again, for a true comparison we do need to take images with both drones from approximately the same place / same time. But I think this looks pretty spectacular in comparison to the output I get from my Mavic 3 4/3"...
