    Fly App 1.13.4 any good

    The 1.13.4 installed on my RCPro without a hitch. Maybe had issue with other controllers? Who knows. Anyway 1.13.5 is what I have now😀

    Fly App 1.13.4 any good

    Aah, so there is now 1.13.5 right? I only installed 1.13.4 couple of days ago into me RCPro. There must have been some issue with that one when they now released 1.13.5. Anyway, I just did it again through Profile etc. The installation was a bit strange because the controller did not show any...

    Fly App 1.13.4 any good

    Is the new Fly App for Mavic 3 v. 1.13.4 worth upgrading to?

    Mavic 3 vs 2 Field Of View Comparison?

    What fisheye effect? Never heard of fisheye effect on 24mm lens and I've been shooting with 24mm lens on my DSLR for 20 years. Fisheye lenses are usually around 8mm, AFAIK.

    Air 3 vs Mavic 3 Classic photo comparison

    All very true. Lot of good points brought up and discussed throughout this long thread since it all started with the OP's contemplative question. I will be curious to hear what he has decided to get at the end😀

    Air 3 vs Mavic 3 Classic photo comparison

    There is a lot of confusion about the "need" of ND filters. Unless you are going to do a creative photography with long exposure aiming to blurr moving subjects such as falling water in waterfalls or similar, you will NOT need ND filters for photography in most scenarios. Just use shorter...

    Processing Mavic 3 Pro images with Capture One

    Probably not what you were after but as a long time CaptureOne user I decided one day to try LR for processing DNG files from my Mavic 3 Pro and quite frankly I never looked back. I still use C1 for processing raw captures from my DSLR but after extensive testing and comparing results I've...

    166mm camera infinity in MF?

    I have simply implemented these findings and anytime I need to do MF I set the focus accordingly. Just to repeat what my M3P cameras need to focus accurately on infinity. 1x camera: 3 bars below the mountain mark 3x camera: on the last bar- the mountain mark 7x camera: 4 bars below the mountain mark

    DJI's on hand landing.

    99% of time I fly with obstacle avoidance off so it did not even come to my consideration. I agree with you though.

    DJI's on hand landing.

    Sorry to hear that. That must have been terrible !! I always hold my arm above my head when hand catching and with wind pushing the drone away from me not towards me! If I may say so, catching the drone in front of the face isn't the smartest idea on a solid ground let alone on a rocking boat😱

    DJI's on hand landing.

    Sorry I was not replying to you you personally but generally to the entire thread. The landing protection off is now an option in the latest FW. Not sure what boat you were on but I hand cought M3P many times while on a small dingy. The outstretched arm can compensate the boat rocking motion...

    DJI's on hand landing.

    Let's not turn hand catching into a rocket science. It is simple and straight forward procedure. Practicing on a solid ground is always a good idea before attempting to do it on a rocking boat. Bring the drone above your outstretched hand with palm facing up. When the drone recognises your palm...

    Air 3 vs Mavic 3 Classic photo comparison

    You might like to download Manuals for both drones and read through, mostly about the shooting options. Not sure about A3 but M3P only shoots automatically full 360 Pano with the 70mm (and 24mm) resulting in 106 photos which is bit of a waste of air time to me. There are other automated Pano...

    Air 3 vs Mavic 3 Classic photo comparison

    I tend to agree that A3 might be a better option but not for the reason you state. I do not have A3 but the IQ of the 24mm Hassy camera leaves the other 2 cameras of M3P in the dust. They are simply no match for the Hassy in terms of dynamic range, depth, clarity, purity of colors and detail...
