"Now throw in the Atom 2’s advance AI capabilities, Night Mode (looks amazing, recently filmed a rocket launch at 10pm) and creative shooting modes (dolly zoom, slow motion, quick shots, panoramic, etc) it is amazing for the price."
"for now this 3 pro quality is better than any other video footage I take with camcorder, iphone pro max or Gopro."
"I still got amazing, breathtaking pictures. ... Scotland's epic and breathtaking views will look good on any camera."

"DJI has the ability to Brick all of your drones and any company that cooperates with the FAA would have the ability to just down all civilian drones at their behest"
"If you also follow the law then you really can't fly drones damn near anywhere. You can't fly them over crowds you can't fly them over roads you can't fly them in parks you can't fly them within a certain radius of an airport above a certain altitude."
"non professional stop using their drones because of annoying flight rrestriction zones, which are almost everywhere in some countries. ... people are reselling them because you cant use drone where u want :("

"Batteries age like milk and if not used frequently or if used very often start losing capacity. ... Also the thing is not getting made anymore so getting new batteries is straight up impossible."
I've basically stopped using my Mavic and use my Mini 3 Pro for most things now. Wind resistance isn't quite as good, but image quality is more than good enough and being under 250 g makes flying a lot easier (in Canada, might be different where you are). Some people assume 'bigger is better'. I've seen that in photography, where my Nikon D800 with huge lens gets more respect than a smaller camera. (So sometimes I'll being the bigger camera for show, use it for a few pictures while mostly using a smaller camera, and let people assume that the best pictures were taken with the bigger camera when in reality all the pictures came from the smaller easier-to-carry camera.)
r/dji • Do I need a bigger drone for commercial use? ->The Mavic Pro series has variable aperture. Otherwise you can use ND filters to lower the shutter speed if that's your goal.
r/dji • Drones with small apertures ->What? I've owned a Mavic Pro and now a Flip. There is no difference in the build quality.
r/dji • Honest Flip Review ->If you want something good and not care about price get the mavic but if you do care about price then get the dji mini 3 or 4 pro remember to ALWAYS do the training flight simulater when you buy a new drone you will need to
r/dji • Best drone to inspect roofs ->400 for first mavic pro is rather high, is it with fly more kit? I see a bit newer Air2 fly more for 400 in my area, and mavic pro with hard case but no kit for 250
r/djimavic • First Drone what should i go with ? ->I had the original DJI Mavic Pro since it was released, many many years. Just recently bought Mini 4 Pro from Facebook for a good price new unopened box. Get the one where the remote uses the phone. No need for Fly More Combo. My flight time on a wedding day to get all the aerial photos of the venue is about 10 minutes or less and the Mini 4 battery lasts over 30. Also don’t really need any lens filters for it unless you plan on doing pro cinematic video that requires lower shutter speeds or super slow shutter photography. If you are able to buy new in box, absolutely get DJI Care Refresh to cover your butt for WHEN you crash. Honestly the Mini 3 Pro uses the same image sensor if you can get your hands on it cheap.
r/WeddingPhotography • Those who use drones, which one to start with? ->Mavics are so good!
r/drones • Perfect landing! Did some test flights using RTK with the new drone. Getting ready for the season ->The air2s is probably better than my OG Mavic Pro! I'm looking forward to this, it'll be a giant upgrade for me.
r/dji • Its out! ->you can't reflash the newer ones? I've bought a few used ones years ago and just flashed the firmware. a mavic pro and a could phantom 4s. well one phantom, I only have the one controller so I've yet to put the second one back together. I have all the parts, just haven't needed it since the first one is still going strong.
r/dji • Which DJI drone would you suggest for beginners? ->DJI minis are about the best you'll get. i don't have a mini but I'm still running my mavic pro platinum and a phantom 4. pretty sure the mini outperforms both of those
r/dji • Which DJI drone would you suggest for beginners? ->I have a large rural property that I plan to do some improvements/rehab to and would like to document the stages of that work with some photogrammetry. All the "cool" stuff is out of my budget (Matrice range for example) and the cheaper end of town is limited in flight time and camera options. I currently use a Mavic Pro, but I think a basic platform I can program to fly around a set flight path with a modern compact camera set to interval mode (or lidar unit) strapped to its underbelly would suite my needs a lot better. It will be a workhorse, flying above the treeline so I don't need a multitude of sensors. Does such a beast exist?
