Why no ultra high res on Mavic Pro?

[docster]

Why is there no option to shoot in ultra high resolution, like the new Mavic Pro zoom? All it is is a series of 9 shots. Then can even be stitched in post. Any reason they don’t program this to be done on the Mavic Pro?

Because it can't zoom. It's that simple.

You can do it manually- just fly backwards and up to double your distance to your subject and shoot a 9 shot pano.

Opposite, you want twice as close. But with a wide lens you'll probably need more than 9 shots with a lot of overlap to get them to stitch properly.

Correct. 9 should give you enough overlap. I know some who use this technique with terrestrial photography, fit a longer lens and stitch the images.

9 gives enough overlap with a longer lens yes, but if you substitute the longer lens with "geting closer with the wide angle one" the distorsion will cause issues and require more shots and more overlap.
