Thanks. I was not trying to trick dji.com into shipping me a product in the US. I was comparing how product availability on dji.com differs if I access it from a US IP Address vs one from Canada or the UK, to gain some insight into DJI's current policies.

msinger: I have been buying DJI drones from the store at dji.com for over a decade, accessing it using a US IP address and shipping address; everything from Inspires (1 and 2) to Airs, to Mavics. I used to be able to do this even when the products were not yet in the US. Those products have...

I just accessed the store at dji.com from my home in the US, and all drones are listed as Out of Stock. I then used my VPN to access the dji.com store through other countries like the UK and Canada, and everything is In Stock and estimated to ship in a day. That 's one way to resolve the US...

No need to wait until Dec 31 to feel the effect of misguided policies on DJI product sales in the US. Witness Mavic 4 Pro, and even Mini 4 Pro challenges. It's a mess already. Regarding "head in sand" comments above: Maybe true for some people. But failing to post about something here is not...

Pattern artifacts like those shown in the original post's screen captured can be caused (or made worse) by the act of rendering the image on a computer screen at a specific size. Zooming the view in or out on screen often changes the nature of the artifacts, making them stronger, weaker, or even...

Thanks for your kind words. I've received a great deal of help from the participants on this forum (and the related Inspirepilots, where I've spent more time). I try to pay it back whenever I can.

There's lots of info related to this question in this DJI post: Drone Photo or Video Files Export Guide But you may be overthinking this, and I say that as a retired computer scientist with a specialty in image processing and thorough understanding of video encoding, down to the bits, so I am...

Yes, that's the basic problem, but there is another "solution", which is to have Resolve interpret the 29.97 fps clip(s) as if they were 25 fps clips. If you do that then each frame of the 29.97 fps source clip will play for 1/25th of a second in the 25fps timeline. This will cause the 29.97 fps...

Regarding rushing to get the great shot: I recall listening to a podcast interview with a commercial drone pilot who shot for the Discovery Chanel and National Geographic. I can't recall his name. But I do recall him saying (effectively): "we always bring multiple drones into the field, and if...

I can recommend Bay Photo. I use them to fulfill customer print orders, which are usually corporate office installations, done as Acrylic Prints (1/4" thick with DiBond backing) or MetalPrints. I've gotten pano aspect ratios (2:1, 3:1) and standard aspect ratios (3:2, 1x1, etc) at sizes up to...

As others have said in response to the video...yes! The flare looks excessive. My guess as to possible causes: A. Bad lens sample (so would not occur on all instances of the drone). These things happen. B. Bad lens design (so others would be seeing it too) C. Some kind of uniform foreign residue...

Using an ND filter just for lens protection is a dubious practice, even if you've been doing it for 60 years. Just sayin'. (70 year old commercial photographer here).

While battery storage is mentioned above, I'm writing to clarify for anyone who might need it stated more clearly: For long term storage your drone's batteries should be kept at between 40% to 60% charge. The actual issue is the voltage, and you can google to find more details if you care, but...

(Non-Litchi solution described here). As of July 2023, Litchi does not support the Mavic 3 Pro, and the DJI Fly App still lacks an option to disable the Landing Protections system. So landing/hand catching from a tossing boat is still an issue, as well as the other issues described so well in...

This is quite a misleading statement. The scenes we shoot often contain 20 stops or more of dynamic range. The higher end Mavic cameras have a dynamic range that's less than 13 stops. If you want to capture more than 13 stops of information with your Mavic, you'll have to shoot multiple image...
