    What did my original post ask?

    Decisions decisions.

    Hi guys, just to lay this second thread to bed, which has deviated from my original question. Yes, I knew what the other poster meant when they said zoom. No I did not think it meant zoom, in the traditional sense of changing the focal length smoothly. I have had a Mavic 3 pro for a while and...

    Decisions decisions.

    Thank you for your insights guys. I am currently hunting for a reasonably priced RC Pro. What also tipped it for me was the ‘leaked’ specs of the RC Pro 2 controller, which looks like an old Inspire controller with a thick android tablet stuck on an articulated arm. If true that will be one...

    Decisions decisions.

    I have a mini 3 pro and mavic 3 pro. I use both and love them both. Both have the smart controllers. I am looking to get into mapping at some point. I was disappointed with the mini 4 pro as the new controller was not compatible with the Mavic 3 Pro, so decided to stay put. Every so often the...

    New Mavic 3 Pro arrived. Not a great start.

    OK. Received the replacement. I had a small chance to test the drone the day it arrive last week, before the storm winds and Christmas kicked in. Initially the images seemed ok, for the 10 minutes I had to check the shots and video from the drone, but really needed a little more time to test...

    New Mavic 3 Pro arrived. Not a great start.

    So the return is still pending. DJI accepted the return and said that they were going to send out a shipping label. Nothing as yet. so yesterday I contacted them to ask for a shipping label. Their response was an apology and they would get that sorted immediately. Still waiting. Seems like...

    New Mavic 3 Pro arrived. Not a great start.

    Below is a link to the Autel Evo 2 Pro v3 at f2.8 auto. Bear in mind I was testing why the panning was halting due to an OA issue and not trying to win an Oscar for cinematography. At the end of the video was the Mini 3 pro, which is better than the Mavic 3 pro an holds it's own with the Autel...

    New Mavic 3 Pro arrived. Not a great start.

    This time I have done a video of my issue. To me, my problem is quite obvious. I wish I had started with this. There is a short version and long version. The video is shot in f2.8. 100 iso auto d-log. Automatic and Manual focussing. The long version shows what I did as I included the screen...

    New Mavic 3 Pro arrived. Not a great start.

    The oddest thing is, I never asked for any technical information. He rang me to see whether or not, I was satisfied with the new drone. He claimed that he was a photographer himself, and that he understood my problems. It did seem like, he was just trying to make conversation, as possibly I was...

    To be so Cavalier with comments, such as to make their own company liable. It does beg the question. Either the representative is ill informed, or arrogant.

    New Mavic 3 Pro arrived. Not a great start.

    Just tried it. It seems totally automated. Results are extraordinary. Sadly it highlights the two major lens flaws by highlighting the softness. If this alone was to inform my decision, the drone is going back. I have scheduled Friday (my day off) to make sure this is not user error. The DJI...

    Lightroom. And capture pne still on the fence on that. Just had no time to fully beat my head over with a stick on that. Taken time off work Friday Saturday and Sunday to make up my mind.
