    Mini 4 Pro losing video quality when zooming

    Should have clarified better... I also fly a mini 2 and 3. They don't seem to lose as much clarity when d zooming compared to the mini 4 pro. I guess my question is...

    Mini 4 Pro losing video quality when zooming

    That video is an excellent explanation of optical zoom. I'm from the old school where with 35mm when you zoomed the lens physically moved. This digital stuff is still foreign to me but, I do understand some of it. Thank you.

    Mini 4 Pro losing video quality when zooming

    Maximize flight time from drone battery

    Maybe a crazy idea but, has anyone ever mounted a light weight mini (2500 mah) power bank to their drone while flying to extend the batteries flight time? Haven't found anything in a search so, thinking it might be a bad idea but, still curious if it might work. My Mini 4 pro has such good...

    smart controller no range???

    From YVRGUY: Yes, I had the same problem. Worked fine with RCN1, but sucked with the new DJI RC. Contacted DJI and told them of my experience. I couldn’t get anything but one signal on my transmission page…NO dual mode. I sent it back to DJI techs and this coming Monday I will receive...
