Adobe doesn't have the original Mavic 3 listed for some reason? Only the Pro, Cine and Classic. I know the Mavic 3 has the same camera hardware but so do the other 3 models listed. It doesn't make sense to list those 3 as separate cameras but leave out the OG Mavic 3.

Regarding the difference - after setting to Adobe profile the green tint is gone.
It works for OG Mavic 3 - just checked with pictures from my old drone, so it should work with regular Cine version as well. I have no pictures form the zoom camera though.

...so I took the .dcp files from the Mavic 3 Pro and modified them so that Lightroom would accept them for the Mavic 3 Pro Cine DNGs! Works like a charm, files are attached below.

in MacOS: Copy the .dcp files to "/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw" (the library folder may be hidden, follow these steps to unhide: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254002152?sortBy=best)
in Windows: copy the files to C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles

I'm a Mac guy, so I can only tell you that it works there with Lightroom Classic 13.1 under Sonoma 14.2

Good to know. Thank you.
Is it Lr specific, or is ACR (within Ps) now also compatible?

Actually support for ACR was added even before LR. So everything should work across the whole Adobe ecosystem.

Could you explain how you do this? What is LR searching for in the metadata to find the camera hardware? I have an M3E and would like to do the same as you did. I can provide whatever file you need.

I was using a program called dcpTool (available in the MacOs AppStore) to read out the metadata from 3 DNGs of the 3 different cameras of my Mavic 3 Pro Cine, searching for the exact model name of each camera. The next step was to convert the original .dcp files of the Mavic 3 Pro from camera raw to XML files (again using dcpTool). Open the XML files and search for the camera module name at the very bottom of the file, and then just replace it with the model name of the M3 Pro Cine camera. Save the file, again changing the file name accordingly (though the correct file name might not really be relevant here, not sure about that), convert the XML to dcp using dcpTool, and copy the new file to the specified folder mentioned in my previous post.
I can do this for you, all I need is DNG files from every camera module of your M3E.

Yea I don't own the first Apple product so I don't think I could do that way myself. Here is a DNG file from the main M3E camera: M3E Main Camera DNG

Unfortunately for some unknown reason, DJI decided to make the 7x camera only shoot in .jpg and no raw capture. I really appreciate you doing this.

Tried to download the DNG, but unfortunately I can only save the file as JPEG. Could you please send me the DNG through a wetransfer link or similar? Maybe as a private message, thanks!

Ah, my bad. Google Photos is weird sometimes like that. Maybe Google Drive will work. Let me know. Thank you.

You can shoot raw with the 7x now. Check your settings if you are on the latest firmware. There is no dlog for video though unfortunately. I am hoping they will add it also.

You just got me excited for a second and just powered up the drone to check. Sure enough, it's not there.. I'm talking about the Mavic 3 Enterprise remember. Where we don't have Dlog on either camera. We have just one frame rate to shoot video in (29.97 fps). No 5.1k video. The only Mavic 3 without internal storage. We don't even have manual white balance for goodness sakes.

Oh i'm sorry, I thought you were flying a Mavic 3. That seems really frustrating. Isn't the enterprise series supposed to be the higher end of their drones? Makes no sense or is it for some other reason for those drones purpose? I'm not too familiar with the enterprise lineup sorry...

I'm confused by this, I've been using LR for years now and it works just fine on all my DJI cameras from the Mavic3 all the way back to a Phantom 3.  What does this "official support" mean?

Adobe finally prepared color profiles within Lightroom and ACR. There were some issues with colors in some specific cases, which didn't happen in C1, due to missing profiles in LR (specific tint when using custom WB profiles).
