    PolarPro glare

    Hi, Does anyone know if I can prevent the glare I experience when taking photos towards the sun? I was using a PolarPro cinema series vivid collection ND16/PL filter. Below are some pictures I took this morning, I've also shown a version taken away from the sunlight. These pictures are all...

    My first "crash"

    Hey, There's a lot of people who can give you more detailed information but were you flying towards the sun? A lot of people have had this issue were it mistakes the sun for an obstacle. If you had initiated Sport mode, you would be able to override the obstacle error, as this is disabled...

    Wonky Horizon?

    Hi all, Would you mind having a quick look at this video - apologies it's only a quick shoot I did this morning from behind my house and was created in DJI Go 4 Editor, so it's not been played around with at all and only in 720p. Basically I think my horizon is off - I have calibrated the...

    Bag Review

    Just thought I'd provide a review of the Lowepro Slingshot 102 AW bag, as I've not seen one on here. I chose this bag one because of the brand - I've had Lowepro bags before and they've always been good quality and secondly, due to the size - the main reason I bought the Mavic was due to its...

    Gimbal Cover......DJI say on?!!

    I'm not agreeing with DJI - all I'm saying is that's it interesting that they leave it on during their official promotional videos....as mentioned in my original post, I take it off :-)

    Gimbal Cover......DJI say on?!!

    Interesting and agreed - there must be plenty of ventilation for DJI to suggest leaving it on if desired. So it's ok to leave on to protect if you're exploring and 'zooming' around in sport mode but if you want the best quality picture, you are recommended to remove it.

    Gimbal Cover......DJI say on?!!

    Thanks - I haven't tried recording with the cover on yet but can imagine it wouldn't be great! I'll stick to leaving it off, was just interesting that a number of their videos had it on - maybe it is for the rugged look!

    Gimbal Cover......DJI say on?!!

    The 'Official' DJI video has it on.....so in my eyes, they are saying leave it on?

    Gimbal Cover......DJI say on?!!

    So, I know this has been discussed a 1001 times and I know and agree peoples views on removing the cover due to the fan behind the gimbal......but, I've been watching a few official DJI videos and they always seem to have the gimbal cover on (see example video below) What are peoples views on...
