hey everyone. I’ve recently purchased a mavic 3 the beginning of the year. It was great and I was having a lot of fun with it and a lot of flight times. The picture quality was superb and the range was amazing. Depending on flight conditions and other factors, the range would extend up to at least 1.5 miles. Everything was going fine until one evening when it was just hovering. And suddenly the drone tilted and no matter what I was pressing it continued in a downward trajectory and crashed. I retrieved the drone, and I suspect it was shot at by someone. Anyone care to weigh in on photos ?

Fast forward I just bought another Mavic 3 but this time I got the cine version. I have to say I’m not sure what it is, but the range is nowhere near as good even with pro remote that it came with. And also the quality when zoomed in 28x is really really grainy. Its less superior than the regular mavic 3 ? How can this be. So much more expensive and I understand that its main advantage is the terabyte storage but it’s not supposed to have less quality on resolution. Why is range and picture quality less than the regular mavic 3
 
It shouldnt be, so there may be an issue somewhere

Since they share the same camera, the quality should be the same.
The most likely cause is the different settings used.
If you can upload examples from each model to Google Drive or similar and post a link here, the metadata might have some clues to why they are different.
