New Mavic Pro: Is this sun flare normal?

[cgreer00]

Hey everyone,
I have been using a few Phantom 4s over the past year and I recently picked up a Mavic Pro. I am at the beach and have been taking some sunrise photos, which for the most part have gone well. However today's sunrise resulted in some IMO not good looking flare in the shots. My P4s never did this. Do the large blobs look normal? I don't have the cover on and I have no filters installed, so this is just the pure lens.

(this is straight from my un-retouched RAW file)

Completely normal depending on the position of the sun & camera angle. BTW you guys with these beach pics suck LOL. I'm staring out my window at a snowstorm.

I live in Florida and its freezing here.lol ...that being said..... I always use a Filter when shooting in the sun, I mean as looking directly at the sun. All my drones react differently to this but again I still find its best to shoot with Filters on with so much sunlight. When I don't have a filter on it normally causes some sort of issue. I like the picture though in raw form its not bad.
