    Battery plus in EU\UK ??

    Thanks for the link & info - fyi goods under £135 are meant to have vat added before shipping, so no vat is collected afterwards. Goods over £135 have vat charged on entry to the UK. This is how it is since brexit.

    Anyone else disappointing with picture quality?

    Nice picture - the corners are soft, but the rest of the image is sharp. This is about as good as it gets on the Mini 3 - the Air 2S & Mavic 3 also have soft edges\corners. The last DJI drone to have sharp pictures edge to edge was the Mavic 2 Pro & the Phantom 4.

    Anyone else disappointing with picture quality?

    Not all pictures were bad with the first one, but quite a lot were - I had to take a reference picture of a brick wall from about 15ft to properly show how bad it was.

    Anyone else disappointing with picture quality?

    Hi Erik, I had the same problem with my first Mini 3, but fortunately the 2nd one is much better. If they made them fixed focus then I'm sure they'd get a much better rate of good ones - imho of course

    Anyone else disappointing with picture quality?

    Hyperfocal distance is 6.6 meters - where everything from 3.3 meters to infinity is in focus. I wonder why DJI even bothers with the ability to focus on these tiny sensors - very few want to take anything close than that

    Battery plus in EU\UK ??

    OK, so I know you can't officially buy the Battery plus for the Mini 3 in the EU\UK (because it would prevent DJI obtaining class C0 marking for it - & that is a big selling point for the Mini 3 in EU\UK countrties); but does anyone know if DJI have nobbled CE mode to prevent battery plus from...

    is the air2 s better than the mini 3

    I think DJI are being very clever here with the release of a Mini 3 pro - it's clearly going to be better than the Mini 2, but the 'Pro' wording means it's premium, so it's going to be a lot more expensive than the Mini 2 & that means they can still sell both to different market segments. But...

    Angry people pointing fingers at my drone and taking photos of it

    I visited the Italian lakes a couple of years back & took some footage with my Mavic 2 pro - when I got back & reviewed the footage I saw this...

    Why do people claim mini 2 has better video compared to mini 1?

    I've owned a Mini 1 & Mini 2 - on a small screen you cannot tell the difference, but on my 32in 4k monitor & 50in 4k TV, the Mini 2 video quality is noticeably better - sharper & more detail. I appreciate the sensor is the same, but as others have mentioned there are a no. of factors in the...

    A2S and MA2 photo comparisons

    You should watch this explanation from a well known pro photographer on the difference between detail & sharpness. You don't always want your images to be super sharp, yet in the last few years we have been conditioned by manufacturers (particularly those making small sensors) to think that...

    Air 2S Sample Footage Chicago

    This is a joke right ? - hasn't anyone spotted that starting at 0:34 this is not real footage - it was taken from the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator

    Which better to buy Air 2 or Mini 2?

    I've had several DJI drones since 2015 including Inspire, Phantom 2&3, Mavic, Mavic 2 Pro&Zoom, Spark, Air 2, Mini & Mini 2 - which of these drones do you think I've flown in high winds ? - The Spark & Mini - and they have both coped well (as long as you start by flying against the wind, then...

    DroneDJ has the DJI Mavic Air 2 price and some press images

    Looks like the MA2 will have the Sony IMX586 sensor that is used in a lot of modern smartphones - technically it can do 4K 90FPS ! - but from what I can find smarphones with this chip are 4K 60fps max. In good light you might get some decent 48mp pics, but more likely the 12mp setting will give...
