    Opa, tudo bom por ai? Realmente há a possibilidade de não funcionar por aqui se comprar na China. Pode ser que o dongle já tenha sido ativado e o prazo para uso expirado. O melhor e mais seguro procedimento é comprar no Mercado Livre, pois há possibilidade de devolução caso não funcione. Comprei...

    Demystifying the DJI 4G dongle 2 and DJI enhanced transmission.

    I'm in Brazil and could not renew after the free trial period of one year. My question still stands: If I buy a new dongle will the free one year license work again? I suppose that the free trial is already registered on DJI servers and works normally until it expires.

    Demystifying the DJI 4G dongle 2 and DJI enhanced transmission.

    Let me understand this: if my old 1 year free is over, will I be able to activate a new purchased dongle on DJI servers in 2026? Many Thanks.

    New movie showing the capabilities of the 3x optical zoom of M3P

    Many thanks, really appreciate your feedback. Hope you can get a M3P one day, although I think the M2P is still a great bird with excellent IQ. Take care.

    New movie showing the capabilities of the 3x optical zoom of M3P

    That's exactly my experience with the new M3P using the 70mm tele lens. Once locked, the focus stays on the subject and never miss or refocus. I only shoot ships and vessels around here so perhaps this kind of subject don't pose real challenges to the AF.

    Sorry about that. What I mean is AF, but it is continuous during flight.

    New movie showing the capabilities of the 3x optical zoom of M3P

    As per my own experience I never needed to change from AF to MF in all of my drones during all those years using the wide angles lenses from 22mm (Air 2S), 24 mm (Phantom 4 and Mavic 3) and 28mm (Mavic 2 Pro). I was very surprised with the 70mm lens on the new M3P, as it also acquires, locks and...

    New movie showing the capabilities of the 3x optical zoom of M3P

    Hi Jonathan, I hope all is well out there. I've been doing this work at the seaport of Santos for about seven years and I've developed my own techniques after more than two thousand flights. I usually perform the first aerial shot three kilometers away from the home point in order to reach the...

    Thanks. I always use AF-C on ships and never had any issues. Once locked the focus never miss the ship even in difficult situations against the light.

    New movie showing the capabilities of the 3x optical zoom of M3P

    Thank you, Sir Maxwell. The novelty of the zoom made me extend the movie more than I usually do. So many new views to explore what I do that is almost a new drone. Regards.

    New movie showing the capabilities of the 3x optical zoom of M3P

    Film captured yesterday at Santos Seaport (-23° 58' 33.60" S -46° 17' 20.02" W) showing the capabilities of the new 3x optical zoom. Used the ND16 filter from the kit at 4k 30fps. Thank you.

    Mavic3 Pro 3x lens - 12MP or 48MP?

    The topic subject says "Mavic 3 Pro 3x lens - 12MP or 48MP?" so I thought I was analysing two different samples captured by the 3x optical zoom. What I mean about a better suited subject is one without a bright flat surface against a dark background as it frequently shows some kind of smearing...

    Mavic3 Pro 3x lens - 12MP or 48MP?

    The samples above posted by waynorth show a visible loss of quality from 12 to 48mp, mainly around the edges which were rendered fuzzy. Even so, the quality of the 3x optical zoom in 12mp isn’t that great as it also lacks sharpness and looks way too “digital” for my taste. Maybe the test should...

    Another short test of the 7 X optical Tele

    Beautiful and inspiring.
