Thanks for the video Jake! I am still wondering which settings I should use when I want to capture hyperlapse videos of the aurora in Norway 🙊 can you please let us know which settings you used with the Mavic 3 Pro?

[intheoutback]

Excellent tutorial, thank you. Question: what Gain & Expo settings are used by the Air 3 with the Intelligent Flight Modes (i.e. FocusTrack, QuickShots, MasterShots, Waypoint Flight)?
Does it use the Remote's Flight Mode Settings whatever may be selected for the flight (Cine, Normal or Sport), or does it use other settings?

I just discovered your YouTube channel last week, as I wish to come back to using drones. Great review!
Quick question, can you photograph from the two lenses at once ? I do not find any information about this.
Thanks

hi /jake very good review of dji air3 ... alot of you tubers just bash and put this drone down but glad you don't...one big question , ,, is there a choice in which camera you will be shooting with ... there are 2 cameras but in settings i dont see how you can pick the one you want to use ....or do they both shoot at the same time ....i have only flown a couple of times but i think you should be able to use one camera at a time .. ..tele camera or the other . do you have advice please ...thanks again d

[RichardUttingSharpshootingUK]

Great! Excited to see sharpness option but the problem is my menu doesn’t have it ?? I’m wondering why i don’t have it ? Any advice appreciated

[mannymandog]

Wish I could still get those max speeds in the EU. Thank you for this video!

Hey Jake!! Just subbed! May I trouble you to ask what lens you are using when you are the focus? (in the orange jacket - intro for example). I am a Youtuber myself and would love to achieve that blurry background that you create. Thanks Jake!
