Mavic 3 pro

Guys
I've had my Mavic 3 pro since they were released. I can't help but think that I prefer the images from the Mini 4 pro.
The Mavic 3 seems lifeless and flat.
Is this common or is my Mavic 3 faulty?
Any thoughts appreciated.

Mavic 3 pro lifeless and flat ?
Not in my experience.
Perhaps if you could upload a couple of examples to Dropbox, Google Drive or similar and post a link, some of the photographers might be able to give you some suggestions to improve your images?

Probably a good idea....I'll try and get two similar shots from both drones on same settings and uploaded somewhere.
In the meantime, any other comments appreciated...

The Mavic 3 Pro has a lot of potential and I use these cinematic videos to give me inspiration to do better and I won't quit until my personal videos + post processing come somewhere close to this, for example:

Not me, not my video, it's just an example:

I have been to the Dolomites many years ago before drones were available. I would love to go back there (Cortina d'Ampezzo ski trip) and fly my Mavic 3. This was a truly spectacular film. So epic. Loved every scene, and your hiking abilities were amazing. Alas, at age 86 I can't do it so I will gladly enjoy this film vicariously. I have already watched it twice and will ask my wife to view also.

I've gone back and added that this isn't my video but only something I aspire to. Usually people post their work in the showcase forum and I thought it was appropriate for the topic to show what others have done with their Mavic 3 Pro and if we work hard enough, we should be able to try to come close as possible with our own Mavic 3 Pro. Seems the Dolomites are the best location for cinematic drone video which is why I watch each and every YouTube video on that location and I try to learn from the creator and his/her techniques.
