    Trent, I'm looking at getting into the agricultural drone business...spraying, seeding, and imaging at the urging of several friends. I know it's not necessarily your thing but I'd be very appreciative of any advice and insight you might have. This is a complete shift in professions and skill sets for me. This is uncharted territory for me and I'm sure that any reply to a comment will only scratch the surface from your prospective.
    For reference the 3 drones I'm looking at are the DJI AgrasT-40, the Hylio 272, and the XAG P100.
    Thank you for the inspiration to makes this jump, whether or not you reply to this.

  • @lostwavemedia
    @lostwavemedia Рік тому +9

    I feel like they still need to work on the performance of how the motors interact with each other while making high speed turns. Meaning if you are parallel with you subject in sport mode say 40mph then start to orbit around to the front of the subject, it seems the drone will slow down, you lose that momentum that you had while you were beside your subject esp if you make a quick turn to change the angle. Coming from the Phantom / Inspire series of drones, that did not happen. They also allowed you to fly in ATTI mode something that they still haven't integrated into any of the Mavic 3's. Down wind ATTI mode was a joy, something I really miss and can only do on my inspire 2 now. These drones are great but I think they need to mimic the flying characteristics of the phantom/inspire series, those in my opinion were the best flying DJI drones. A micro 4/3 sensor below a phantom 5 with ATTI mode is what I would die for :)

    • @telakos
      @telakos Рік тому +1

      I will totally agree with you about this, at first I thought it was me not being able to fly it precicely but then I reaslised it's probably because the camera is located in the front and not on the bottom of the aircarft which makes it a little bit jerky while turning / orbiting following a subject, on my phantom 4 pro I could execute really really precise and intricate maneuvers while controlling the gimbal at the same time, with mavic 3 I find it kinda dificult.

      The Hasselblad sensor still shines for sure but I will say 99% of viewers won’t notice the difference in actual quality of the other 2 cameras, but it does open up a whole lot of possibilities for the pilot/creator. I think it’ll come down to each persons preference of what is important to them in a drone like this.

    • @TrentonPalmer
      @TrentonPalmer  Рік тому +3

      Absolutely, the Mavic 2 Pro was great at the time but the 3 is in a whole different league. It flies better, flies much longer, and the image off of it is worlds better. Don’t get me wrong, the Mavic 2 is still a great drone but if you are using it regularly then the 3 is going to be a well worthwhile investment.

    • @TrentonPalmer

      Apples and oranges to some extent. The inspire has a larger sensor with interchangeable lenses and a much more robust codec that it records in. That said the wide angle Hasselblad sensor on the Mavic 3 looks damn near as good as the inspire to me, the other sensors aren’t quite as good. But again, the Mavic is much cheaper, way more compact and flies for twice as long as the inspire, so it’s a pretty big difference platform wise.

    Initially i didn't like the footage from the tele lens from mavic 3, it was very soft, but after some firmware upgrades it produced usable footage on good lighting conditions and it was then that I became a huge fan of this focal length because of the background compression, separation and parallax and I wished it had better quality, well it seems the experiment worked and dji stepped up and upgraded the tele lens in a whole new level with mavic 3 pro, so I'm selling mavic 3 and getting this one for sure soon. I was looking forward for your opinion on the product as a professional UAV pilot that has used all shorts of drone equipment in your carreer over the years from small ones to really big and custom ones.
    I really love mavic 3 and I think they nailed it this time with the pro and price wise it stayed kinda the same as when mavic 3 first came out which is a good thing.
