The M3 / M3Cine is receiving mixed reviews and comments... It has it's strong strengths and questionable features. Firmware will address some, others not.
I have a Mavic3 FlyMore sitting in the house, unopened... I'm reconsidering keeping or M3Cine or EVO2 6K.
The M3 definitely is a smooth & stable craft; flight behavior hasn’t been the bulk of negative concerns & observations. To my reading the majority of concerns other than the lack of enhanced flight features (pending FW updates)… the bulk has been associated with cinematography: video & photos.
On the Mavic forum it’s been compared to the M2 & A2S… and mildly to the I2. On other areas… Youtubes, other sites it’s gotten a lot of comparison with the EVO2 6K.
From what I’ve read or watched on YouTube, even the dedicated “DJI leaning Reviewers“ have stated the EVO2 6K creates better output: Dynamic Range, sharpness, etc.
This I’ve this found surprising when comparing the M3's MFT sensor to a 1" sensor. I haven’t been a EVO2 supporter, but recently I’ve been comparing the M3, M3Cine, and EVO2 Enterprise 6K. I’m not a Autel mole… I own many DJI from M600Pro to Mini2. I do own a EVO1, never used.
Interestingly… My searches on Internet; Every comparison between the M3 & EVO2 6K that I’ve found have indicated the EVO2 6K is a better option. That's a bit odd when you consider the market density for DJI to Autel...it's not like the Autel crowd has a larger presence to Internet / YouTube. Plus, just recently heard the new smaller craft: Lite+ has the same EVO2 6K payload in a M2AS sized package… with adjustable aperture. A small craft with adjustable aperture 1" sensor sounds like a great package too.
Without the typical off-track “attack the messenger“ losing the point of “Thread Question”. Has anyone… Anyone, come across a comparison with the EVO2 6K that indicated the M3 was the better option? Any examples, any strengths clearly in the M3 court? If ya have… please share! I've found many DJI Supportive Reviewers indicating the EVO2 6K produces better results. The M3 Cine provides ProRes, although many seem not to be intending use the ProRes due to embedded SSD or processes involved in processing ProRes.
If not, then for the investment… EVO2 kits provide more in kit… larger Smart Controller Screen, GPC case, etc… the EVO2 6K is a better buy and produces better product.
Granted, they both have issues; the EVO2 has it’s… but video it appears better. Something to consider beyound “Brand Loyalty“ for a product a bit disappointing to expectations. There are comments of the EVO2's Flight behavior... that's noted, and to my understanding that's improved with FW too.
The question is video/photo comparison: Dynamic Range, Color, Sharpness, Lens quality, processor, etc.
