    Photo editing question

    Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but if your camera has a RAW setting, use that instead of jpeg. You can also use both on some Mavics. Besides shooting RAW, I also bracket by 3 or 5 frames always protecting the highlights. Try to keep the histogram to the right of center but don’t touch the...

    Mavic 3 HLG footage

    Amazing location! I’m going to test the HLG mode soon and see if using d-log for exterior architectural shots is necessary anymore under normal daytime light.

    DJI said: no RAW & manual control on telelens Mavic 3?!

    I just tested the lens after reading your initial post and it's so poor, I'm not sure software can fix it. I did a few stills and some video. Horrible is the best I can rate it. I don't understand how DJI could let something like that out of the factory. I actually forgot that lens was there...

    DJI said: no RAW & manual control on telelens Mavic 3?!

    Doesn’t make much sense to me. Photographers, who have no need for the cine model, need that option more than videographers.

    New to drones - why can’t my Mavic 3 cine go more than 1-1.5 miles?

    Sorry but I don't think a Mavic 3 is visible at 1+ miles away. Maybe a tiny spec if your eyes are amazing but I doubt it would meet the legal criteria of VLOS.

    Mavic 3 battery issue

    Just a follow up. After the initial slow charging, all the batteries charge quickly now with the included gear. No issues.

    Mavic 3 vs. Inspire II

    A new Inspire 3 will probably make the comparison moot. The Inspire will still be for people that require a pro camera. Although the M3 has the best camera yet for a fixed lens model, it doesn‘t offer the flexibility of an interchangeable lens camera, that can be controlled by another person...

    Mavic 3 battery issue

    I haven't been flying for a few weeks now other than for a few minutes testing the new firmware. I did charge batteries and they seem to at least top off quickly. I'll test it out again next week on a shoot. I hope it resolves itself. I'm not so sure it's OK to use a more powerful charger unless...

    Mavic 3 Issue's Out of the box...

    Although I think the new M4/3 sensor camera is very good and probably the best so far in a Mavic, (in my experience with it). I do agree the little telephoto is a joke. It looks like it was designed by a committee and not a professional photo/videographer. Most of our "pro DSLR camera" choices...

    Cine mode is too fast on M3

    I did my first shoot with the M3 this past week and the results are good but it's relative. A fixed AF lens with a M4/3 sensor is going to have its limits. I worked on some of the images yesterday and they look as good as the last shoot I did with an Inspire. A M4/3 sensor is an absolute minimum...

    Mavic 3 battery issue

    Yes. I figured the fixed cable was more powerful And have been using that.

    Mavic 3 battery issue

    Yes I'm using all the DJI cables and chargers that came with the Fly More Kit. I charged a battery today in the drone and it seemed to charge quicker. I'm on a shoot so not scientific so I'll try it again at home later in the week. Looks like it's the hub that's the issue.

    M3 Battery Charging Times

    I am having the same issue. Hours and hours to charge in 3 port hub. Had one charging overnight and still blinking on the same battery in the morning.

    Mavic 3 battery issue

    Hi, My Mavic 3 is flying great and accomplishing the shots I wanted it for. Flew it yesterday for a few hours and am super happy with its performance. But- it's taking forever to charge the batteries. With all three batteries in the charger, it starts on one battery and after more than 4 hours...

    Mavic 3 Issue's Out of the box...

    It seems to take 3+ hours in the desktop charger too! Are they all like that? I also found the batteries discharged sitting in the case after only 3 days. It can really hinder your productivity.
