    Mini 4 How do I do a hyperlapse with some motion blur?

    For motion blur the shutter needs to be open longer but in auto mode it's trying to give you a crisp, clear shot based on the amount of light. ND filters act as sunglasses to reduce the amount of light so you can have the shutter open longer to obtain blur. From your video, it looks like the...

    Reusing waypoint flights

    To add more to this topic, please check out similar threads at the bottom. "Altitude not repeating on saved hyper lapse waypoint mission – Air 3” You will see there that I flew four times from the same exact spot, all within a timeframe of one hour, landing and taking off from the same spot and...

    RC-N2 vs RC-2 controller for quickly taking photos into iPhone for inspections

    However for my intended use of taking roof/chimney photos for inspections and snapping photos that need to go into my iPhone's gallery, is the N2 possibly the better option? My experience with the Air 3 and Quick Transfer is; land the aircraft, turn OFF the controller (I have RC 2 but it...

    Altitude not repeating on saved hyperlapse waypoint mission - Air 3

    I encourage you to contact DJI ([email protected]) and share with them your issues concerning altitude not repeating. As more of us contact them about this issue the more likely they will respond with a fix. What is the point of being able to save a mission if the next time you fly the saved...

    Altitude not repeating on saved hyperlapse waypoint mission - Air 3

    DearAman, I have again been in contact with DJI in an attempt to figure all of this out because as Mobilehomer points out above, he is not having a problem with his Mavic 3 classic or Air2s. That got me to thinking. I have an Air 2 so I went out and tried it over a period of several days to a...

    Air3 - RC2 Quick Transfer?

    I just saw David's response so if you want to get them on the controller, I think you can follow his suggestions. However, I was trying to get the files on my computer and having a Mac and then already having wrestled with the Android file transfer download and lost is when I found how quick and...

    Air3 - RC2 Quick Transfer?

    I had the same problem initially and then realized all I really wanted to do was get my photos and videos downloaded. The quick transfer does not work with RC 2 so I had to turn off the RC2 leaving the aircraft on and every time I land, I hold my phone close to the drone, open the DJI Fly app...

    Battery Charge/discharge Cycles

    Wow. Impressive. I guess that is why they call them smart batteries. Thanks for the info. Quite a bit different than back in my day when we all had to search around in the drawer for size D batteries for the flashlight.

    Battery Charge/discharge Cycles

    What is considered a battery cycle? By that I mean if I fly my Air 3 and recharge the batteries afterwards, I understand each battery has gone through a cycle. Now, if they sit all week and I charge them to top off, i.e. start the next weekend with fully charged batteries, have they each gone...

    DJI Waypoint Behavior on Low Battery

    My experience two nights ago. I ran a night hyperlapse waypoint mission. At the end I saw I had enough battery (or so I thought) to run another to different waypoints to check out another theory I had. I made sure the aircraft worked its way closer and closer to me. It looked like the mission...

    Altitude not repeating on saved hyperlapse waypoint mission - Air 3

    Amen! Did you get a chance to experiment with your Mini 4P? Just curious as I would love to know if others are having such difficulties in repeating an altitude on a saved waypoint hyperlapse. I intend on trying a waypoint video (not hyperlapse) to see if I get the same irregularities but...

    Altitude not repeating on saved hyperlapse waypoint mission - Air 3

    I did bring it to DJI's attention and this was the response. When saving the task in the Task Library and executing the task, the altitude used is the altitude measured by the barometer, which is easily affected by many factors such as weather and may have a deviation. That statement is what...

    Altitude not repeating on saved hyperlapse waypoint mission - Air 3

    You are 100% correct that height is set from take off position. I started the discussion because I wanted to do a day to night hyperlapse and all of the vids I have seen say to set up the mission, fly it and save it to then again fly at dusk or dark. My expectations were it would not only go to...
