DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine for Quick Rental? (Philadelphia area)

[GadgetGuy]

Ok, now it's making sense! So there are no DJI drones that have a genuine "optical zoom," meaning there's no "smooth zoom" using optical lenses... instead, there are just optical lenses that stay at fixed points... the only "smooth" zoom is a 28x digital zoom.

Thank you again for all your help, much appreciated!

You have missed the point. Nothing "smoother" about the 28x zoom other than it offers a greater 4x digital zoom from 7x to 28x, which further degrades the image at the 4x digital extreme of 28x. Please reread my reply to you in your other post. The only zoom is a digital zoom on each lens, and the digital zoom equally "smooth" on all three camera lenses. No jumps unless you use Explore Mode, which switches cameras as it goes from 1x to 28x.
