    New policy about firmware update and restrictions

    I fly with my ipad with wifi turned off, and it is not an air model....So, my question is, how are they going to limit my mavics capabilities without wifi or data connection if I choose not to accept the new firmware? Is the limitation sent by satellite via the GPS module?

    Record knob for video not working on controler

    My right dial on the TX stopped working the other day and I kept moving it with no luck...And now, for some odd reason it works again. Go figure.

    First Night time Photo, (thoughts)

    This picture has been through post work right?

    Are my expectations too high? or....

    Right, I understand that LR doesn't 'make pics', what I was referring to was the ability to edit existing pics, creating something that is desired. I do agree that the computer can process the info faster than the mavic, but having the ability to quickly post some pics you just took without...

    Drone crashes into car on Sydney Harbour Bridge.

    I have noticed over the years mass hysteria people create over drone accidents, and what ends up happening is more laws are made for people that fly drones safely abiding by the laws. No reckless use of drones, or guns for that matter, are acceptable by any means, but what some of you previous...

    Do you think pictures are achievable like this without post work being done? This was a picture taken from a video yesterday...If lightroom can make superior pics to this then I will definitely consider buying it.

    Man that article was a 'hit the nail on the head' read! That should be a sticky on the mavic forum. I will research a little to see if lightroom is the best alternative for me...It is 150 bucks but it could be worth it for sure. I have tried JPGs and they look average at best, just not as nice...

    Thanks man. When I get home, where my pics are at, I will do that. Do you have any recommendations for a good RAW-converter, something that doesn't have a monthly fee? Also, I tried saving a picture from the videos I made and it looks really nice...Is there a reason not to use the video for our...

    The Raw files were 'too large' according to the website...I couldn't figure out how to resize the raw without converting to JPEG first...Is there an easy way of doing this?

    I guess what I need to know is, is this a bad mavic? I have seen a few others on here with crap pictures and then they send it in, get a "new" one and voila! the image is spot on.

    O.K.. that was pretty much what I was after; I figured the only way you guys were getting these nice pics was with post work...I just wish they would look somewhat decent without it. Is the 4k compression to much for the pics as I mentioned, or was that bogus information?

    Definitely flying with the dome off. People fly with the dome on?!? Huh? Yeah I do hit focus every time for sure; I have it set to my C2 button for centering, considering this is imagery that is 500 yards away on centering I just don't get the whole focus thing...

    Well this is my first post with the mavic on this forum, but as some of you DJI p2+ and P3 guys remember I was part of those ....pilot.com sites for the last few years. Last month I took the plunge after selling my P3, with a boat load of accessories, and I bought the mavic with a spare battery...
