    Shot composition: Will DJI combine any intelligent flight modes?

    Try Active Track-Spotlight. It puts the MAVIC into Course Lock mode and controls camera orientation on the subject (controls gimbal tilt and MAVIC yaw).

    Video Playback probs

    In camera settings for movies, make sure you use 4k setting that shows 3840x2160, 30fps. Do NOT use the 4k setting that shows 4000x2250.

    Choppy video feed

    I've done some more testing and verified that the choppy video problem is NOT related to the newer versions of the DJI GO4 app. The choppy video problem is caused by the warmer outside temperatures causing my iPad Mini 2 to overheat. The typical sequence, after a few minutes of flying on warm...

    WARNING - iPad Overheated and shutdown during flight

    This is a common problem on warm days. The video feed starts failing first, then the iPad eventually shuts down due to overheating. You can strap two icepacks to the back of the iPad with rubber bands. Here is an ideal solution: Solution to choppy video on iPad...

    Solution to choppy video on iPad

    I read many complaints about MAVIC video feed, as viewed on an iPad, being choppy, intermittent etc. I started flying my MAVIC in January and as time went by, this problem was getting worse. I know it is not due to a magnetic, or RFI interference because I have been testing this on the same...

    DJI CrystalSky My First Look + More Detail

    Thank you Mad_Angler1! Excellent review, answered a lot of my questions. Do you have an experience with CrystalSky when used in high ambient temperatures? My iPad Mini 2, on sunny summer days, will run about 5 minutes and then it starts overheating and the video feed from my MAVIC degrades...

    CrystalSky Review (Mad RC)

    Yes, I have read the specifications. What I was looking for was msinger's actual experience with flying with CrystalSky in hot weather in direct sun.

    CrystalSky Review (Mad RC)

    Great review! I did not realize it has a built-in GPS. How does it perform in high ambient temperatures? My iPad Mini 2, on sunny summer days, will run about 5 minutes and then it starts overheating and the video feed from my MAVIC degrades, starts being "choppy" and eventually quits. It makes...

    Choppy video feed

    I use an iPad mini 2 when I fly my MAVIC. I started flying at about end of January 2017 and since then I upgraded the DJI GO 4 app in my iPad about five times. Ever since the update that introduced the "fixed wing" flying mode, the video feed to my iPad started being choppy, it would freeze for...

    How to downgrade your App for iPhone / iPad iOS

    Thank you RAMJET-1 ! Your procedure worked perfectly. I downgraded from the latest DJI GO 4 app (version 4.1.2) to version 4.0.5 A couple helpful comments for others doing this: - when you uninstall a newer version of iTunes and install the iTunes 12.3.1, when you try to start iTunes, it will...

    Active Track mode WITH Terrain Follow mode now?

    Yes, it will go up to clear the obstacle. In my movie, you can see at the end a small, dense evergreen at the side of my driveway. In my later test, I walked very close by it while the MAVIC was following me. MAVIC saw it and went up about another 5 feet to clear it (even though its original...

    Active Track mode WITH Terrain Follow mode now?

    Active track-Trace-follow ground level HiRes.mp4 I tested Active Track-Trace mode going up and down a 50 foot hill. The MAVIC was set to follow me at about 15 feet above ground level and it maintained that height perfectly when going up and down the hill. It works well. See the movie clip URL...
