Recently got a Mavic 3 for the first time.
Have flown Mavic 2 Pro, Mavic 2 Zoom, Air2s and several other DJI drones for years and shot 1,000's of panos.
Not sure this is typical but I have struggled with a couple issues with Mavic 3 when taking panos.
First: The photo capture is MUCH quicker than any previous drone BUT the stitching seems to take twice as long.
I use a pretty fast SD card, fine for 4K video, so I don't think it is write speed of the card slowing it down but it just takes forever before I can shoot another photo.
Second: I hate that it no longer says "PANO COMPLETE" to give me the assurance that it stitched fine.
This is especially frustrating because of the following issue:
Third: The SLIGHTEST of winds, cause the pano to fail. I know the drone needs to stay steady but even in light wind, the Mavic 3 just fails at panos.
I've got a handful of ongoing construction projects that I have been shooting bi-weekly for over a year.
A few of them are along the coast and I am used to steady wind there and my previous drones have never had an issue.
With the Mavic 3, it will start taking the photos and then just quit as it senses the wind.
Frustratingly, sometimes it is at like Photo 23 or Photo 24 and I think the pano is complete: but it is not.
I've ended up doing everything for the job, landing, and they deploying the Air2s to do the Panos.
Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Or suggestions?
