Vic Moss posted an article about the Mavic 2 series remote ID s/n number format: dspalliance.org/dji-rid-doc-issues/ TLDR: The format is 1581F+( flight controller SN )+0 Use this when re-registering the drone as remote ID compliant on FAA Drone Zone. I fumbled through this process yesterday...

I'm hearing "Approached edge of altitude zone." (past tense)

I know the drone has been retrieved, but I thought all might enjoy this flying retrieval by a Kansas City area photographer helping out his buddy. This historic concrete water tower is in my neighborhood. "Neodymium magnets for the win!"

I do my stitching in Lightroom Classic CC and it works perfectly. Oddly, "perspective" mode is the one you want. (That is almost never what I choose for DSLR panos.) I've never tried stitching DJI raw files in Photoshop.

I flew today in a DJI blue NFZ with a self-unlocking license (and LAANC authorization of course). Go4 Maximum Altitude setting of 30m was respected. Here's the txt log: https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/4B1H1492ZMU60UTTLJIL/ I then returned to the spot I first noticed this problem, within a...

I haven't tested it to your extent but I experienced the same thing yesterday: Mavic 2 zoom ignored the 30 meter max height I had set. I was in class D airspace with authorization and flysafe unlock. Earlier in the day I was in uncontrolled airspace and it did stop me at 120 meters as usual with...

@sar104 is correct. However there's also FAA JO 7200.23A, which says you can add 100' to the height restriction in the UASFM cell if flying within 400' laterally of an obstacle. I believe you'd still want to obtain explicit LAANC authorization for the height you intended to fly at and you may...

I had the same thought and did some light trimming of the aerial pixel holders with an xacto knife where I thought it wouldn’t hurt. It’s a rubbery material and easily trimmed.

I did find that turning on Video Caption in camera settings produces .SRT files next to the video files that include some camera info. Search .srt or Captions here and elsewhere to learn more. The following example from my M2Z does not include altitude but I've read other models do, and M2Z may...

@baddog Did you ever find an answer? I'm wondering the same thing. Or if the files themselves reveal in meta data what they were shot in.
