all the DJI drones I have flown in autofocus when at a far distance say infinity when I change it to manual. This Defective drone says manual.... (then I press on manual, and I see it well below infinity! it's a new one on me so it's going back. thanks for asking. I shot it at a brick building...

in this shot I couldn't back up far enough. I will later on. But this shows the autofocus, and when checked in manual it was 3 increments/lines under infinity. But I did take another shot at another Brick building far back enough and it was only 1/2 a line bellow infinity when on auto. But when...

But for distant objects. all the other DJI drones would show infinity when I switch from auto focus to manual. Last night it was one bar/notch/line less... so I was hopping in the day it would be spot on! nope! twice as bad!! lol..

The bar has lines shown vertically. so 2 lines bellow the infinity line, is where the auto focus locks on to when objects are far away. The other M3 drones autofocus always locked onto the infinity line, not 2 notches under! LOL

I will now. thanks (or two lines bellow infinity when you view the manual focus bar.)

it would go from 5 bars to 3 then back to 5 again all the time. Never had this happen before. It was so obvious at first then I got lucky and seemed to have been fixed but after many test flights... it was returned! plus I could see the video feed wasn't as smooth. A controlled test, so it was a...

I am sure it's usable but it sure bugs me that I have to do tests to see what's going on. I would accept one notch below... but 2!! it's going back for an exchange to avoid restocking fees. thanks! lol..

I can never win! just returned the Classic version because of range issues now I have a new Mavic 3 I will also be returning because the auto focus tells me infinity is not accurate. All the other Mavic 3 drones say infinity when going from auto to manual (when at a long distance). This new one...

please don't drive over the speed limit as everybody does around here plus drones are taking down airplanes big time. So I can see your point.

that Mavic 3 Classic sample that I got is defective or they changed the chipset! The new Mavic 3 (telephoto version) that is a recent build, was just test flown on its first flight.... a keeper this time! and no camera tilt on the horizon out of the box!! And NO range issues!

Update.... it's Not fixed and going back.... I think it's defective. It goes from 5 bars to 3 bars then back again to 5... I have gone 21 thousand feet out myself with the RC-N1 But this was line of site and only about 4 thousand feet and it's so obvious to me now for sure it's going back...

update.... Not fixed! but I will know for sure soon.... just bad luck that the external antenna connection setup. the connectors are exposed to rain at times so just taking them out and back in a few times worked. I also have some contact cleaner that I use but maybe I should use some of the...

having flown 2 different Mavic 3 drones before the Classic version came out. When flying to the exact same location, not once did I get such a weak signal like I just did with the Classic (let down version), when flying to the exact same location with the exact same controller!

Range Bug! less range than the telephoto version. Same controller used. Very obvious. Will return and get the tele-version ASAP.

I am starting to get used to it but for precision flying I have to take advantage of the HDMI out. The RC PRO is much faster getting back the video feed when doing burst shots! versus the standard controller. (Not sure if it's my tablet but I will get a new tablet for the standard controller to...
