The Mavic 3 Is So Much Better Than You Think

[@philipbloom]

Hey Jake! I am loving the 162mm too, I’ve heard they may be big improvements coming soon hopefully! Your shots are gorgeous here. I bet if you ran them them Topaz video enhance AI they would be even better! Also just an FYI about what you said about the aperture equivalence of the top camera to Full frame being f/26. Yes, you can totally convert the aperture to what that would be but all you are doing is equating physical size of the aperture. All you are doing there is saying that on a full frame camera at 162mm, to get the identical depth of field to what you get with the top camera is to be at the same distance and stop down to F/22. This has no real connection to low light performance because I am sure you know that if you were at f22 on a full frame at iso 100 wouldn’t see much! Think about the tiny size of this sensor. Yes, it’s stated F/4.4 isn’t letting in the most light but the size of that aperture in relation to the sensor is key. A full frame F2.8 aperture would be big enough to cover about 6 of those 1/2 sensors! It’s all relative. To get a realistic equivalence you need to know about the sensors performance and do calculations based on that, the sensor size AND the aperture. To see what I mean, take a photo with the main camera and the top camera in auto. Then look at the exif data. You will need to do some shutter speed and aperture calculations but you will see that the actual difference in exposure is more like 3 stops between them. This is why I wish manufactures would make NDs with two different strengths in then for each camera. Have an ND 64 or 128 on will make using the top camera horrendous. Avoid variable nds too for that camera as none are of high enough quality for that focal length. The biggest downside to that camera is not the sensor or the processing but the soft/ cheap lens these used. Anyway I hope I have blathered on too much!🙂

[@JakeSloan]

Thank you Phillip!! Your comments and advice are always much appreciated.

[@darrenleewinwood]

"This is why I wish manufactures would make NDs with two different strengths in then for each" Phillip that's what I was thinking...would be super useful as I would mainly use the full lens and then switch the I see a good parallax opportunity

[@philipbloom]

@@darrenleewinwood I did say this to DJI, Freewell and Polar Pro but those last two have gone for the circular design to cover them both. DJI never get back to me when I give them suggestions to improve their products! 😂

@@philipbloom The KZbin audience appreciates the professionals like yourself, Jake, and others. DJI Global likely has unimaginable challenges given what's going on geopolitically over the past few years as well as directly in their Chinese locations.

Hey Philip. Could you not just push out the top filter in the DJI ND’s and have it clear . Would be better no filter on this zoom camera I would imagine ?

[@lol2315189]

Great video Jake as always. The dji product manager says on official Chinese forum that they will add more settings and controls to this camera in both photo and video mode via software update by the end of Q3. In addition to that, they plan to implement a dedicated waypoint function further along the way as well. The FLY app is currently undergoing a complete overhaul. It may take sometime to code and test different functions though. We just have to wait and see the full potential of this drone. Hopefully it will become more potent and fun to use at the end of this year. Cheers.

[@JakeSloan]

I heard they plan to add manual controls soon and I cannot wait! It will only unleash the full potential of this drone and camera. Cheers mate!

[@robertbondar6640]

If they add a dedicated waypoint option I’m sold. I was bummed to see that it wasn’t included with this drone. I hope everything you say is true that would be great! I just hope they don’t create a Mavic 3 Pro or Mavic 3S this year.

Great video Jake. I noticed that my image with the telephoto lens degraded when I put on a variable polarizing filter. Based on your video I think I now see why (2 panes of filter glass screws up the focus). Also I’m interested if you did any special post processing for the telephoto sequences (e.g. added sharpening, denoise, etc). I’m very excited to play around with parallax effect. Unfortunately my area isn’t quite as spectacular as yours!

I only messed with the color grade a little bit to lessen the contrast and bring up the mids a little bit. it's pretty amazing what you can capture with this lens even in less spectacular locations lol

Dropped back to add a note re: Freewell "Split" ND Filters for Mavic 3. Jake, you might want to pin this or put a note in your description.

I can't speak on how well they accomplished the pairings, but if they got about 3 stops less on the top lens, they succeeded.

Don't you experience some sort of "brightness/contrast flickering" in high light ratio scenes ? When a brighter (or darker) layer enter the frame, the camera seems to swap to compensate. How do you deal with this issue ?

[@JakeSloan]

I make sure and keep my ISO as low as possible and lock it to where I want the exposure to be for the scene

[@charlychapelet4993]

Thanks for this but I mean when everything is set to manual and the brightness/contrast switch (mainly visible in shadows parts of the frame). It’s more obvious when something brighter (like sky or clouds) enter/leave the scene. Nothing to do with auto mode or settings, more like a software issue trying to compensate or optimize the dynamic range. It looks like switching from normal color to a "loggish" one. This regularly ruins my footage and I´m wondering if there is any trick to reduce this phenomen as the only solution provide by DJI support (that sounds like a joke to my ears) is to use the 24mm when filming large light ratio scene… Thanks a lot for your time

I was very surprised and disappointed that the VND filters didn’t work properly with the tele lens. That’s a major issue in my opinion. I contacted Polarpro for that reason to verify this. They were kind of cryptic in their replies (I referred to this review). I guess they don’t want to confess that the problems truly exist… Now, with the full potential of the tele lens this point gets even more crucial. DJI says the focus performance has been improved with the latest firmware update. Could you doublecheck if the issue has been solved with the update and VND filters are now 100% useable (together with the Polarpro VND filters)? Thank you!

[@JakeSloan]

it has gotten much better in the latest firmware and to be clear it isn't just polar pro it's any VND filter. Also it does the best in very well lit situations and lighter VND settings (2stops vs 5 stops etc)

[@flowmunich]

@@JakeSloan Thank you for your reply and your evaluations. It is clear that the effect has been with with any VND filter, not only Polarpro. I was just about to buy the Polarpro VND set and that’s why I wanted a clear statement from them. I am still not sure if it’s a good idea to purchase a VND filter if I want to use it without any restrictions together with the tele lens or if I should rather go for the original fixed DJI ND filters and accept the disadvantage of switching filters due to light conditions. I don’t want to have to buy both because of upcoming malfunctions 🤔

I saw a good video explaining why. Apparently this drone does not use Glonas sat and instead uses 3 sats systems including the Chinese one Baudi.
