    Mini 5 leaks

    I have so many DJI drones I hope they will take a break and not come out with anything for a few more years. I'm thinking 2030 would be a good round number. I have 15 DJI boxes (why do I keep them??) stacked in my office and I have to wind my way through my drone cases to get to my desk...

    Normal vs D-Log

    And you'll find..eventually...that if you have a nice sunny day with few or no clouds or deep shadows that you can shoot normal with no problem and it will be all good....but, as has been mentioned, if you have bright clouds or snow or deep shadow you'll be super glad you have figured out a...

    Normal vs D-Log

    It all depends on what you want from your final product. If you're just shooting for instagram then no...not much reason to use DLog. But if you're shooting 4K to create a nice video then in many instances it's a huge help particularly if you have cloud, snow or deep shadows that you want to "save".

    Loading pictures from Mini4 into computer

    In the DJI Fly app there is a setting to enable. I can't recall the exact name. When you enable that setting you will have both srt and lrf files included on your sd card.

    offline waypoint mission

    Here is what I think is the solution. You can't get to the screen above without turning your drone on...but...after you turn it on your can then turn it off. You will see that Aircraft Not Connected as above but the screen will remain and you can work with the waypoint settings. So if you...

    offline waypoint mission

    I think you misunderstand that video. I'm not sure why he got the 'connection' screen but after that he chose his mini 4 pro (or whatever) and connected it. The screen that follows that time stamp is one you would only see if you had the drone connected. Problem solved as far as I can see...

    Loading pictures from Mini4 into computer

    I think srt/lrf issue is most like as mentioned. I leave that turned on by default as occasionally I may want to view that data in one of programs that allows that like Telemetry Overlay. I delete them at some point when I know I don't care but if your drone goes down (and can be recovered) you...

    New Date and Time problem importing into Photos app

    It does sound like a mac os or Photos issue...you might ask on one of the Apple communities forums.

    offline waypoint mission

    Me thinks the advice that it works with the drone off is simply wrong but of course I could be wrong and maybe it's supposed to work that way with that drone but I do a fair bit of waypoints with my Mav3Pro and Mini 4 Pro and immediately thought "oh...well the drone has to be on..." so I'm not...

    What a great spot and a well done video. Thanks.

    offline waypoint mission

    OK....if you're following all the guidelines it may be time for a call to DJI for clarification if there is something off with your setup. Hopefully somebody else here will chime in with something more helpful.

    Get stable long exposures

    Agreed with all of the above. You are really asking for more than you can expect to get. Following the above recommendations try 8 or so exposures of the same thing to see if you can get one good one. You couldn't even hold a camera in your hands for an 8 sec exposure and expect it to be sharp....

    offline waypoint mission

    You say drone offline. What does that mean. If the drone not turned on and connected to the controller? Also not sure why you'd need to choose Connection Guide if everything is turned on. Ensure your drone is on and connected and it's all ready to fly.
