    What would you keep....Air 2s or Mavic 2 Pro? Asking advice/opinions.

    I agree and like you I have both and enjoy both, but don't need 3 drones for my work. I see them as tools and not so much toys. I'm probably no fun at all! 🤣 Thanks for your insight.

    Good points and thanks for your reply! I usually shoot with the 2 Pro and let the Air 2s sit in a bag so that does it. The Air 2s fly more combo is now for sale. 😀 Thanks again to those who replied!

    What would you keep....Air 2s or Mavic 2 Pro? Asking advice/opinions.

    I plan to buy a Mavic 3 Pro in the near future. I own an Air 2s and Mavic 2 Pro and plan to keep one of them as a backup. I use the drone for professional still photography, not any video other than for my own amusement on occasion. Any advice or help on which is better to keep is much...

    Mavic 2 pro vs. Mavic 3 Pro photo image quality comparison. (not video)

    Thanks you for this. Is there much of a sharpness difference from the Mavic 2 Pro to the 3 Pro? I have the Mavic 2 Pro as I mentioned and images seem pretty sharp. I also have an Air 2s and the images at the edges are terrible and I find I have to usually shoot wider than I would like and crop...

    Mavic 2 pro vs. Mavic 3 Pro photo image quality comparison. (not video)

    Thanks for your reply! I almost always will shoot AEB and layer afterwards so as not to have to pull shadows up too much, but still find it necessary to some extent. I also end up using Denoise software at times, but would prefer not to.

    @moderators or Administrators, Can you delete this or move it to the Mavic 3 Pro thread since that is what I am asking about. Thanks.

    Mavic 2 pro vs. Mavic 3 Pro photo image quality comparison. (not video)

    I currently use a Mavic 2 Pro 90% of the time for still photography professionally. Can anyone give me their opinion on the photo quality of the Mavic 3 Pro vs. the Mavic 2 Pro for photographs only. I know about the longer flight time, telephoto lenses, etc. on 3 pro. I am looking for...

    How much does rebar in concrete affect takeoff?

    I keep a shallow plastic storage bin in my vehicle and launch from that when necessary. It is wide enough to hold my propeller guards, hoodman shade for ipad, etc. and gets the drone off the ground a few inches or so. It is also large enough to land on if I'm in an area with really loose dirt...

    Contract help

    There is a difference between "exclusive rights" and copyright. You own the "copyright" as soon as you make the image per the U.S. Copyright laws and can continue to own it, but give them "exclusive rights in perpetuity". This means they have the rights to use the image and video and nobody...

    Blurry corner?

    Thanks for the reply. I realize some limitations with wide lenses, but even at 2.8, with the distance the shot is taken, it is very hard for a DSLR wide lens to be out of focus in the corners if the middle is in focus. That's why I question if there is a problem with my drone camera and wonder...

    Blurry corner?

    I am also having this issue. Here are samples of uncropped photos from different days flying and my top and bottom left of the images seem to be the worst. It's especially obvious in the train tracks at top left of the first image. The branches in the bottom right of the second image are sharp...

    Temporary Farewell

    I feel your pain and sorry for your loss! I posted about a similar experience earlier this year. "I was flying my Mini 2 in Ice Box Canyon outside of Las Vegas when it started screaming "Atti Mode!", "Atti Mode!" at me and proceeded to drift sideways, then forward straight into the cliff wall...
