The photographer didn't have a wide enough wide angle lens for that shot, otherwise he could've got the 747 in frame as well. 😁

Concur with both replies. It's a DNG (RAW) shot - the digital zoom is never present. If you want a tighter image: you're better off trying one of two options: a) carefully fly the drone in closer to target, or b) crop in on your original shot using a versatile photo editing suite (you'll get...

Unfortunately, it is increasingly difficult to separate the two: especially within the US (this is, after all, an American forum that just happens to have international members who aren't affected by the political interference Americans are suffering) We could all have a nice chit-chat about...

Do you have the controller on a lanyard around your neck? If so, let it dangle on your midriff, hold the drone up with the one hand, reach down to the control sticks with the other and use thumb and little finger to cross control sticks. With the motors spun up, thumb the throttle, taking the...

Yeah.... Nothing like dressing up like Jason Voorhees to put the public at ease... 😁

Since they've become active: they're standard yellow 'warnings', not full-on red TFR's. Reading through the NOTAM text: it shows they're active between 08.00hrs and 16.00hrs. I'm just about a mile and a bit outside one of their borders myself and I find I'm thinking along similar lines - does...

That sounds more like GPS jamming. First time I noticed it was during a long drive back from a gig in Wales, everything fine & dandy, until the "...take the next left..." voice prompts started to send me on a Magical Mystery Tour - then the map was blank and it became old school navigation. Had...

By any chance, do you mean it's getting more expensive for the average user to afford?

The new design of gimbal seems to be the real Achilles heel of the Mavic 4 Pro. Numerous reports of problems with this and other forums.

As a 'newbie': the first time you encounter a forced drop into 'ATTI' mode, you will have panicked and over-compensated with the sticks, inadvertantly creating most of the problems you experienced, this isn't something new. A lot of new drone fliers find the same. There may be a number of...

Save the attempt to earn the Blue Peter badge - off the shelf is available. Been using these as GCP's for over 5 years now. Relatively light, portable, wipe-clean and virtually indestructible. They also stay where they're put...

The only reason why DJI has ended up being the company dominating the marketplace is that it is a company that had the genuine ability to innovate and develop within reasonable price limits... because it is constantly innovating and developing. The 'alternative product' might be made in a...

Agree 100%. Don't know about you, but I was looking at this kind of cheap crap being advertized in Amazon's bargain basement listings five years ago.

Christ! Is anyone not going to call this one out? It's a blatant DJI rip-off leveraging a hybrid of 5 year old Mavic/Mini tech and touting it as 'new'. Since when has blatant and visibly obvious copyright theft been classed as 'innovation'? 'The Droning Company' - You should be ashamed of...

"...Ever since I drove off with my Air 2S on the roof of my car..." I take it the drone slid off and hit the deck, probably nose first. I think this may be something that a sensor calibration won't fix. You'll probably need to strip the top cover off and inspect the IMU board, ribbon cables...
