    Portrait pictures versus Landscape

    IMO, your photo quality from the M2P or M3C at 20MP cropped will probably be as good as the Mini 3 in vertical mode. The Mini 3, for all intensive purposes, has a 12MP camera. The comparisons I've seen of the Mini 3's 12MP vs. 48Mp photos don't do much for me. The whole quad bayer system of...

Even the ones I deem tech-savvy run into problems with firewalls on their companies' networks, and things like...

    Mavic 2 and power lines

    I was recently shooting photos near some 500kv transmission lines and had the same concerns. A couple of the angles I needed put my Air2s directly under the wires at fairly close vertical range. I gently eased into this whole area keeping a very close eye on everything. It worked flawlessly - no...
