There is another video of Chinese climbers actually launching a Mavic 3 from the summit of Mt. Everest, and the drone reached 9232,86 meters, that is nearly 400 meters above the top of Everest! I suppose they somehow prevented the batteries from freezing during the climbing to the top, but...

Unusual drone photos - well done!

These are great photos. I view them on a large, high quality monitor, and I love the details and patterns in the images.

Which drone is it? A 10 year old drone probably uses the DJI Go4 app, not DJI Fly. Download the Go4 app from DJI website - not from any appstore. When the drone is connected to your controller and phone you can update the drone firmware if you want to.

Some DJI drones uses LiPo, some uses Li-Ion, but as others have said they are all Lithium-Ion batteries. The Mavic 4 uses LiNiMnCoO2 - Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides - which is also a Li-Ion.

The takeoff altitude (service ceiling) specification is quite conservative. For example the Mavic 3 has 6000 meters max service ceiling, but people have taken off from the top of Mt. Everest with it, and ascended to over 9000 meters above sea level.

I downloaded the DNG file, and opened it in Adobe Camera Raw, then transferred it to Photoshop and took a 100% crop there. What program did you use to get such a result? I seems to me you have opened the low-res preview file that is embedded in the DNG-file.

Plenty of detail in that photo, this is a 100% crop. Unfortunately the 48MP Quad Bayer sensor has also intorduced some ugly colour artefacts in the photo. This will most likely not happen in 12MP mode. Here is the full size image:

A typical Tonydeli photo :) Lovely!

Congratulations with one of the greatest drones DJI ever made. You have already received good answers. I have 4 of them, or actually two Mavic 2 Pro and two Mavic 2 Zoom (the only consumer drone with a zoom lens :-) Fantastic flying cameras!

Are you using an Iphone? I have never figured out how to do that on Android.

Did your drone work fine before you updated the firmware?

Sorry, but the mountain you name Mount Everest is actually Cho Oyo (8,188 m.) Everest is the peak on the far left in this screenshot from your video. It is much further away from your viewpoint.

The blur in the photo is typical for camera movement during exposure, it is not caused by focus error.

It is digital zoom. No DJI consumer drones has zoom lenses - the only one with true zoom was the Mavic 2 Zoom with a 24-48mm (equivalent) lens.
