    Mavic 2 zoom failed to record

    Internal memory is empty as well. The only proof I have of the recording in on the rmote controller in low quality. And still, it only saved the videos,

    Mavic 2 zoom failed to record

    I took the Mavic 2 zoom for a flight today and after the flight, I was surprised to find abolutely no video or photos made during the flight on the SD card. Obviously I checked the internal memory, it is also empty. I did videos, sphere, panorama, HD photos and a waypoint mission... and none...

    Using waypoint missions to follow a construction project

    Thanks BigAl for the feedback. I will definitely consider some changes as you mention. And don't worry about being straight, if I could not handle a good critic I would disable the comments on YouTube and stay away from the forums!! I'm still trying to find a use for the recently acquired FPV...

    Using waypoint missions to follow a construction project

    Is that a morphing effect you are using for the transitions? And how is Litchi waypoints mission more accurate that DJI built in waypoints?

    2 years later, this is the result:

    Using waypoint missions to follow a construction project

    I've been using the same waypoints mission for more than 2 years to follow up the construction of this new tower building. I am having a hard time getting the done to fly exactly the same path over time. What do you think? good job or room for improvement? Construction follow up

    Regular LiPo for Mavic Air 1 ? (No more original batteries avaliable...)

    I find it very unethical for DJI to sell such good products that you have to discard them as soon as they discontinue to make the batteries. The batteries are cleary the weak link in the life cycle of the drones. I have a Mavic Air which still flies except for the lack of batteries out there...

    Any tips on how to improve video timelapse videos (with Mavic Waypoints)

    Hello to the community, I have been trying to make these video timelapse or hyperlapse over long period of times for construction sites. I am using waypoints missions to ensure the drone always fly the same route and angles so that I can create smooth transitions over time. Do you have any...

    DJI FPV: How long did it take you to transition from a Mavic to FPV manual mode??

    Dear DJI enthusiasts, I have been flying the Mavic Air and then the Mavic 2 zoom and they are both great for video making and discovering an all new perspective to the landscape. When the FPV got released, I reviewed all the videos out there and especially why NOT to buy it. They did not...

    Auto focus suddenly cannot focus (during flight issue)

    In this screen capture, you will see the focus is stuck and will not auto-focus even as I tap on the screen. After a short while, it seems to reset itself. Prior to the screen capture, I was flying straight and zooming back to wide angle. I have had severall issues like this on my Mavic 2 zoom...

    Is this the fastest drone ever?

    @Meta4 Waow! Thank you for your time. Now that you have put this possibility in my head, it does seem to fit the culprit. Yet it never crossed my mind that I could meet that so high from the ground. Since I assumed it was a drone, I projected the flight path and the distance based on an object...

    Is this the fastest drone ever?

    Yes, I understand that perspective is playing tricks on this one. Yet, it is still the fastest drone encounter ever. And unlike a 'regular' drone, this one seemed on a mission to cover as much ground as possible in little time. It was definitely not enjoying the landscape like me! I did call...

    Is this the fastest drone ever?

    That's probably the same reply I would get from the Authorities if this goes any higher!!

    Is this the fastest drone ever?

    I will send you a link to the full unedite dvideo. Maybe you can do better than my screen captures without losing definition. The 'encounter" is at 4:38 into the video. If I may add, according to GeoDrones app (which I discovered later) highlights that this area is at the edge of a military no...

    Is this the fastest drone ever?

    I have attached the last 4 frames using VLC capture from the original unedited video. Now I wish I was filming in 4K or at 60fps... but it just takes too much space on the HD to store... It does look like a Phantom with a giant propeller on top instead of 4... I'm puzzled and appreciate the...
