Vertical Panorama vs Frame

Vertical Panorama
DJI Mini 3 Pro FC3582 + 6.7 mm f/1.7 @ 6.72 mm, 1/15 sec at f/1.7, ISO 560 x 3 Frames
The new DJI Mini 3 Pro has the ability to shoot vertical frames. Where it rotates the camera 90˚ on the gimbal so it natively shoots vertically
This is great for visualising vertical framing and taking vertical frames. It means you no longer have to crop the horizontal shots afterwards to get a vertical shot. It also means you don’t necessarily have to use DJI’s built in 3 frame vertical panorama mode
The first shot above is done with the 3 frame panorama mode. I don’t particularly like this feature because it puts the horizon in the middle. I’d prefer it include more downward facing frames. I’ve stitched the frames in Lightroom and processed the result rather than using the DJI pano JPEG output
The second shot below is a vertical frame. In this case it’s a 5 shot HDR with the frames taken at 2/3rd EV increments. Again I’ve merged and processed the frames in Lightroom
Either way I think it did a remarkably good job – especially straight into the rising sun
Personally I wish the DJI Mini 3 Pro’s sensor was a 3:2 aspect ratio rather than it’s 4:3. But I guess you can’t have everything 🙂
