Mavic 3 Enterprise You Continue To Surprise Us!

Captured on the Brackmills Industrial Estate in Northampton, UK during a routine commercial drone survey. This photo is a JPEG from the drone with a few minor tweaks in lightroom. Correct position of the drone in relation to the sun is vital to ensure good natural levels of contrast. As is ensuring that the exposure is dialled in to ensure no highlights are burned out but the shadows retain enough detail. A blue sky and sunny day is also quite helpful!


The dynamic range on the Mavic 3 Enterprise is actually pretty amazing. It makes it the perfect drone for roof surveys, especially on sunny days, as this wide dynamic range means that highlights and shadows are well controlled and, as this photo shows, it also makes it a great drone for photography.


Of course, the M3E can also capture photos in RAW at the same time, which is a great way to ensure you have a backup in case you fail to expose correctly in camera.
