Reader Response Draft 3

The “DJI Mavic 3 Pro” webpage from the official DJI (n.d.) shows the various features that the flagship variant of the Mavic 3 possesses. Some of the features shown on the webpage are the tri-camera system. The primary camera is a 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad Camera that can capture up to 20 MP still shots and up to 50 fps of footage. Together with the primary camera, the Mavic 3 Pro has two additional telephoto cameras. One of 70mm focal length, gives a 3x zoom while the other, of 166 mm focal length allows the user to take footage at 7x zoom and at 4k60 resolution (Kurkowski, 2023). The Mavic 3 Pro also boast a sensor suite that allows a 360-degree collision warning, alerting the user to any possible incoming obstacles (Singh, 2023). The Mavic 3 Pro also touts an active track system that allows the user to select a subject for the drone to follow and keep track of. In order to be a stable platform to make full use of its cameras for photography and videography, the Mavic 3 Pro makes use of its three-axis gimbal to give the user steady and smooth footage through the manoeuvring that it might do during flight (Juniper, 2023).

According to official DJI (n.d.), "DJI Mavic 3 Pro" highlights the advanced features of the Mavic 3 Pro. The flight stability performance and its tri-camera system. Making it versatile and reliable for professional and amateurs to capture high quality footage.

From a professional user's perspective, the Mavic 3 Pro is designed to meet the requirements of precision and stability, which are crucial for capturing high-quality footage or images. Its advanced flight capabilities, such as Active Track and 360-degree obstacle avoidance, ensure a reliable experience, allowing complex shots to be executed without compromising safety. The three-axis gimbal provides smooth, shake-free footage even in challenging conditions, which is essential for professional-grade videography and photography (Juniper, 2023). Additionally, the real-time feedback from the sensor suite enhances navigation in complex environments, making it an ideal tool for creative professionals who require both performance and reliability in their equipment (Digital Camera World, 2023).

On the other hand, amateurs benefit from the Mavic 3 Pro’s user-friendly features, which make it an excellent choice for beginners. The autonomous Active Track system enables the drone to follow specific subjects, simplifying operation and reducing the learning curve. The drone's 360-degree obstacle avoidance ensures flight safety and gives amateurs confidence in their control (Singh, 2023). Despite its beginner friendly design, the drone's advanced technologies allow amateurs to capture high quality footage, encouraging them to experiment with aerial photography and videography. The Mavic 3 Pro's combination of safety, ease of use, and professional-level results makes it an appealing choice for users of all skill levels.

While the Mavic 3 Pro excels in its versatility and reliability, it is essential to consider the implications of its advanced features, particularly concerning its accessibility. The drone's high price point can be prohibitive for professionals, limiting its accessibility and usage among amateurs (Singh, 2023). Additionally, despite its advanced features, the complexity of the software and controls may pose a steep learning curve for beginners, detracting from its user friendliness (Kurkowski, 2023). Furthermore, issues such as limited battery life, sensitivity to environmental conditions, and potential regulatory restrictions can hinder reliability in real world scenarios (DJI, n.d.; PetaPixel, 2023).

However, for those willing to invest, the Mavic 3 Pro offers a premium experience, elevating the standards of what a consumer drone can achieve (Potions, 2023). The DJI Mavic 3 Pro surpasses user expectations with its tri-camera system and advanced flight performance, making it a versatile and reliable tool for capturing high-quality aerial photography and videography. By combining advanced capabilities with user-friendly features, DJI has established the Mavic 3 Pro as a dependable choice for both professionals and amateurs.

Dear Professor Blackstone, My name is Xuan Yi, and I am a student in the S20 class currently enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering program at the Singapore Institute of Technology. I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic in 2022 with a diploma in Aerospace Engineering. My educational journey began with a Nitec in Aerospace Machining Technology and a Higher Nitec in Precision Engineering from the Institute of Technical Education. During my studies, I completed three internships in the engineering field, which significantly motivated me to further pursue my education in Engineering. These experiences provided me with valuable insights and a broader understanding of the practical aspects of engineering. Outside of academics, I have a passion for travel. I enjoy exploring different parts of the world, immersing myself in various cultures, and appreciating the beauty of nature, from serene blue seas to lush mountain landscapes. In terms of communication, I consider adaptability to be one of

Quote Interpretation by Albert Wong and me

“Without clear lines of communication, our ideas would stay within our own small development teams instead of becoming mature products. While this is obvious to those of us who have become experienced engineers, the real question is: Why is it lost to us when we are engineering students?” - Akbar R Khan, Software Systems Engineer, USA, “Good Communication Is Essential...” (2014) The above quote emphasizes the importance of communication in turning ideas into reality. It implies that clear communication is critical for disseminating and developing ideas beyond small, isolated groups. While experienced engineers recognize this requirement, the remark raises the issue of why this awareness is absent among engineering students. Engineering students may not completely recognize how important communication is in the product development process, likely because they are typically focused on technical skills and may not yet understand how teamwork and transparent information sharing generate cr
