    Is Mavic 3 Classic good for vertical video?

    Hello, I'm considering upgrading to a Mavic 3 Classic from a Mavic Air 2. I'm wondering, is the Mavic 3 Classic good for vertical video (tiktok, reels, yt shorts...)? Will it be good quality even with cropping it to 1080P vertical?

    Almost lost drone

    Two days after getting my repaired Mavic 3 back from China, I almost lost it again. I made a manual waypoint mission and was flying it. I had 30 some percent battery, so I knew I might not finish it. So I got down to 15% battery, and I aborted a RTH. It was getting close to finishing the...

    DJI won’t off an M3 SDK…

    This is my prediction, only and not backed by any facts. DJI won’t be offering a SDK to M3 or for that matter any consumer drones in the future. Why? Because after they are seeing how companies are actually using the SDK against DJI, there is no incentive for them to release one! Fact, I can...

    3 Mavic 3 tele meets Denali Sunset - a 40shot panorama

    I went out for a day of shooting, leaving my home in North Pole Alaska to head south. I left around 8 am in pitch black and the first sunrise shots began an hour later around 9AM. The sun came up somewhere in "the flats" around 10:30 AM but in the mountains the sunrise depends on what's between...

    3 Near Sedona, AZ

    This was shot with the Mavic 3 tele lens. Seven 5-shot AEBs, each set of shots manually overlapped ~33% with the next shot using the crosshairs of the tic-tac-toe on the screen to overlap a reasonable amount. Processed in Lightroom using the HDR Panorama option. You can probably get even...

    Safe Maximum battery temperatures Mavic 3

    Hi gang. While trying to get used to the controls and learning where everything is on the RC pro and the Mavic 3 I had the bird sitting on my counter turned on while I was learning everything. At one point I noticed that the battery temp was about 40°C. That seemed pretty high to me so I shut...

    RC Pro connection interruption when aircraft nearby

    I haven't flown with the new firmware, but I'm curious if any U.S. pilots have lost signal between their RC Pro with Mavic 3 when a piloted aircraft enters nearby airspace. It's recently happened to me several times when filming. I'll be flying and filming, receive the notice that a manned...

    3 2160p video of Moon at 28x in high winds using a DJI Mavic 3.

    Mild Drift of camera occurs at 28x in high wind conditions, but not significant, considering the drone's zoom settings and wind speeds which were not recorded, but significant. OOPS, I posted a video similar to this, but this one is the full moon in high winds. Sort of unstable with...

    Mavic 3 Range Test (NO VIDEO Provided due to legalities). 4.55 miles (24,000) ft. Limited by battery. 18% battery at home return.

    No Video due to inappropriate flight test of a mav 3. Flight started from home point at 4 AM. 4 AM was chosen because most manned aircraft and ground activity is especially limited. This is no excuse for the test. The test consisted of flying straight up from home point in sport mode to 1000 ft...

    Mavic 3 Lens too wide

    I find the Mavic 3 lens too wide to shoot an object for example the artist in a music videro. You need to fly too close and scare the person. Anyone else feels that way? I loved the HQ mode in the Mavic 2 pro. Now this mode is gone plus the lens is wider. Is there any stick on solution (x2...

    3 Mavic 3's Zoom Lens is amazing. Seems improved since initial release. Pic of Car Lic Plate from 124ft alt, 650ft dist I think, 24x zoom

    Im just not sure how far the drone was from the car. Maybe some of you good photo analysis members can figure the exact distance I was. I do know I was at 124ft altitude. And the zoom was at 24x. Mavic3. I re-flew the flight in a right ( 90degree) angle triangle. I flew straight down my road (...

    Watching marine life - which drones work best?

    Hi all, new to drones but I am particularly interested in using it to spot marine life such as whales and sharks around where I live and whilst travelling. I am aware of regulations around how close you can fly to these animals so I am wondering what zoom capabilities I will require. The mini 3...
