Optical vs Digital Zoom
No Mavic 3 camera has optical zoom.
Both have digital zoom.
The original Mavic 3 has two different cameras with fixed focal length lenses.
One has 7X the magnification of the other, but none have optical zoom.

Very nice video!

Most refer to a tele lens as a 'zoom' lens these days.
I know it is not true, but....
In a couple of years we will accept both terms

Only those who don't know much about photography and lenses.

There is all sorts of people in this world.
And I would refer to this as a 'tele' lens, but 'zoom' also makes sense for me.
So I don't really care
Live and let live!

So any lens is a zoom then?
Or can only tele lenses be zoom lenses? At what focal length does a lens become a zoom?
I have a 14mm wide-angle lens - is that also a zoom?
And I also have a 14-24mm lens - certainly not a tele lens, but it is a zoom.

We don't have to argue about the details.
Technically we agree and know the difference very well, but a lot of drone operators mix and match terms as they want.
And I don't want to be the wiseguy correcting them.
It sounds very smart assy and I don't want to give them that feeling!
When they are ready for the deeper understanding of terms, the moment is there to enlighten them.
Not just 'out of the blue' commenting on how little they know about terminology.

But that is my opinion, we can have our own version of what is polite and what not

Very interesting comparison.

Very interesting comparison.

There is nothing to compare on the two mavic 3 drones,as both cameras are digital zoom only.
The second zoom camera on the original mavic 3 is also digital zoom only.

No problem

When I saw that thread title, it made my brain hurt for a little bit.  I was pleasantly surprised when I finally broke down and clicked into it to read that others had already called out the reality.

the problem remains...

I think this is a problem of low-quality spare parts in the production of dj mavic 3. namely, in gumball and the camera switched to mavic3 classic...

what's your problem with dji guys? why do you produce a low-quality, unreasonably expensive product that you refuse to support under warranty?

Hi guys

1 month has passed and dji has not come up with anything smarter than to send such a letter, after an authorized center in Vietnam wrote to them about repairing a defective mavic3 copter ...

1. a letter from the dji center in Vietnam to dji himself - it took them 1 month to connect with each other, this is the highest level of communication that I have seen for his 43 years of life))

2. letter dji's response to 1 letter, when they all got sick on the eve of Christmas, so to speak, the staff ran out, apparently it was hard to stretch that cable to Vietnam to write to their own dji authorized center.

3. I appeal to dji fans who will stand up for dji, I believe that you sincerely love the products that dji produces.  But the fact remains that dji has a defect in the products they produce and there is a huge problem with support in the world. Personally, I will think 7 times before buying the next new product from dji, since I have a negative experience of buying a defective mavic3 copter and as a result, dji's unwillingness to solve this problem promptly, I will remind you that the replacement of the gimbal and camera can be carried out in 2 hours, but 1 month has passed and dji is not able to agree, to convey clearly and clearly to his the client and to the DJI center algorithm of actions! This is a fact! About my spoiled emotional state on Christmas Eve, I'd rather keep silent or you'll throw slippers))

Dear Alexiss,

Sorry for the late reply. As we are holding the Mavic 3 unit which belongs to Mr. Sergey and we have the Gimbal and Camera module in stock, we are willing to help him solve the issue as soon as possible for his convenience.
We only have one question - if we create a normal Local In-Warranty repair case, how will DJI confirm and return us with the other ....$?

Mr. Sergey's Mavic 3 unit will be handled for repair as soon as we receive the solution from you.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best Regards,
DJI Authorized Service Center Vietnam.
