I find that the built in profile leaves a bit of distortion in the M2P.Especially in distant views with a distinct horizon.Is anyone using other lens profile corrections or setting up a custom profile?
Thanks.I find you need to assign a profile other than built in to make that slider visible.Am I doing something wrong?When thr built in profile is left selected the slider doesn't work.offtheback: as you have found, the best built-in profile is for the Mavic Pro v1 unfortunately not specific to the lens on the M2P. However, it mostly works for me. **
Have you tried the distortion slider at the bottom of the Lens Correction panel to straighten the horizon?

** that is, with the default LR install. If someone has made a profile for the M2P, I hope they share it here.

Thanks so much for the insights!All the normal adjustments will be greyed out if you use the default lens profile as it's seen as a mirrorless camera and that is how all mirrorless camera work, as the lens exif data is embedded in the file. LR's correction is just reading the info off the file. If I use LR, which most times I don't as I prefer C1, I will pick the profile for the older Phantom's as I believe that will allow the sliders previously mentioned to work, I believe you can pull up the profile for the 20MP Phantom camera, but it's been a while since I used LR. If you use C1, you will have the same issue, i.e. C1 will pull up the default exif lens info and thus not allow for manual corrections, but it's very easy in C1 to assign a different lens and camera profile.
LR usually corrects the curved horizon issues for me, even when I am aiming up with 3/4 sky. My issue with LR is it doesn't allow for the same corrections for sharpness towards the edge of the frames, (at least for me) on the MP2 or P4 and I have found much better corrections with C1albeit mostly manual.

See what I am saying is that in Camera Raw in Photoshop or also in Light Room Classic you can keep the built in lens profile and then tweak it how you wish with manual lens correction tools. I assume anyone with LR CC also has access to these programs as well. This way you don't have to choose between using the default profile and manual adjustments. I have so far not been able to find these adjustments in LR CCAll the normal adjustments will be greyed out if you use the default lens profile as it's seen as a mirrorless camera and that is how all mirrorless camera work, as the lens exif data is embedded in the file.

ACR is my preferred way to abbreviate it too but it seems many people on this forum use CRAW so I was just conforming to that standard but yes we are talking about the same thing.(I'm assuming that by CRAW, you mean Camera Raw, which I mostly see people call ACR.)
Anybody that has LR CC installed probably has the basic Photographer's package along with PS. If so, then you likely also have Bridge installed (if not, you can with the Adobe CC app). With Bridge, you can select a photo (or multiple), right-click and select "Open in Camera Raw"). This might be the easiest way to distinguish ACR as being separate from the main, better-known Adobe apps (PS / LR).
If there's another way of opening ACR, I'm not aware of it. But ACR is the same in all Adobe apps (as I know it: in PS from the Filters menu, from Bridge as described above, and the Develop module in LR is basically ACR). There's only one installation of ACR for all Adobe apps.
There are some minor differences in ACR depending on where you launch it from, but in respect to Lens Correction, there really shouldn't be a difference between them.
Yes?
If you open a DNG (or any RAW photo) with photoshop it will first open it in ACR. You can save the adjustments you have made back to the DNG or open the photo into PS which then rasterizes it.If there's another way of opening ACR, I'm not aware of it.

I use DxO Photolab 3, which has a lens correction module for the Mavic 2 Pro and zoom cameras. Not tried them as yet but if the results for my Canon lenses is anything to go by it will be very good.
