And after flying one of those around a house it will make a gps/visual positioning drone a doddle to fly.

An explanation from Wikipedia….. Digital zoom is a method of decreasing the precise angle of view of a digital photograph or video image. It is accomplished by cropping an image down to an area with the same aspect ratio as the original, and scaling the image up to the dimensions of the...

Agreed, and what I do with my Mini 5 Pro at takeoff, but @Camerart is flying a Mini 4 Pro, doesn’t have dynamic RTH and might not have got into the routine of constantly updating the home point as he’s cycling, not walking.

If you are going to crop a still image from a drone be aware that the .jpegs are quite heavily processed which gives them an artificial, almost “painted” look. You’d be better off taking a look at and processing .dng files as you’ll have all the data from the sensor to work with.

But remember, low battery RTH is still RTH.

What ⬆️ said. I’d rather crop an image than zoom in digitally.

I thought I’d use hard cases for my first 2 drones. I never did! The cases are covered in dust even though the drones were pretty well used. I haven’t bothered with hard cases for Mini 4 or 5 Pro. If I’m out with both they fit in the Mini 5 pro fly more soft bag, otherwise they’ll just take up...

I know where @Camerart is coming from wanting to fly below woodland canopy but not just along paths. Underbrush in woodland can be pretty impenetrable if you are not the size of a small deer and as agile so you can’t walk a camera through it (or retrieve a crashed/hooked up drone). I’m fairly...

Waypoints are normally used in open areas and obstacle sensed will normally stop both 4 and 5. However, if you fly the drone the 5 will sort out a way that will stop the 4 as the lidar sensor is more sensitive than the optical sensors. If you are using the tracking function the 5 is really good...

I weighed mine on my coffee scales and depending on which battery (all 3 are normal intelligent rather than plus) 252.2 to 252.7g.

They haven’t changed the manual yet!

Stunning as usual!

Not yet. If DJI give it the ability to start the motors prior to takeoff, for instance, it could be a problem. It will then be disabled either in software or by glue.

So go back to your supplier and ask them about support. The Mini 5 Pro hasn’t been released officially in the US because DJI are being denied the ability to support purchasers. Blame your governments.

Doesn’t even need to be a Tesla. Most cars have some form of link back to the manufacturer, some just for turning on and off subscribed updates, others for phoning home in case of an accident. If they offer updates over the air they have access to the cars ECU’s and so can turn the car off when...
