Portrait view on Mavic 3 pro

[Greg Peter]

Hello,
On my old Mavic 1 and 2 pro I had the capability to use portrait view. Why has this feature been taken off from the Mavic 3 pro?

I used to create videos in portrait mode and now that I have upgraded to Mavic 3 it’s completely gone.

What can I do ?
Thanks
Greg

Nothing. The camera section is different because it has two cameras. So no portrait now.

What can you do? Crop to portrait during your post edit process.

Maybe I have some sort of rogue mini 3 pro, but I have had 3 of them and they all have a portrait mode. The button on the left side of the back of the controller activates and de-activates it.

I think the OP has a Mavic 3 and not a mini 3 Pro. It's confusing when people call the mavic 3 by mavic 3 Pro.

The original Mavic had that feature, but your Mavic 2 pro didn't.
Very few DJI cameras are able to rotate.

Going to be more confusing shortly with release of the Mavic 3 Pro. Many refer to Mavic 3 as a Pro model will now be conflicting with the Mavic 3 Pro - 3 Camera model. Then add the M3P... Mini or Mavic?

I want to say providing a drone gimbal the capability (especially at the M43 sensor size) to rotate to shoot portrait mode would compromise the gimbal performance and overall flight performance but knowing DJI, they probably withhold it on the prosumer level drones because they want folks who own a Mavic 3 to also buy a Mini 3 just for the portrait mode. I only suspect this because I have several friends who own a Mavic 3 and also own a Mini 3 for this exact reason. DJI knows exactly what they're doing and it's pumping up their bottom line.

Yeah but the mini 3 pro is cheaper than most conventional camera lenses and the quieter of all the DJI drones.

No doubt that vertical gimbal is a killer feature on the Mini 3 Pro, but there is more to the drone than just that. It's a no brainer tool for me since I can easily tuck it, a couple batteries and the controller into the camera bag with other non-drone tools when on jobs that may or may not require or benefit from the use of a drone.

I recently took it on an advertising gig in Miami and used it a ton, the files after running them through DXO were superb.
