    FCC mode on Mavic 2 Pro possible?

    If you have a Mavic Pro (not sure about M2), you can permanently force FCC or FCC with boost on the bird by using the Jkson5 mod. This means you can use either Android or IOS. jkson5/jkson_fcc_mod It works on firmware 1.0400.300 or less.

    FCC mode on Mavic 2 Pro possible?

    The only way to see the difference between FCC and boost is with a RF Measuring tool. FCC Boost should push it 1.5W. FCC 0.4W and CE 0.1W respectively.

    Freefall of a Mavic Pro

    Luck with both.. 1st video, s/he was praying it would recover and luckily it did. 2nd video, the mavic was well balanced enough that it didn't invert immediately (as you can see from the first video that a small free-fall will will NOT flip the mavic over).

    Radar icon spins

    Maybe the ipad needs a compass calibration. I recall doing something to make the full circle on the screen.

    Is there a 'correct' frame rate?

    Jerky means you got the panning science all wrong. There is so many variables - lens length, shutter speed, resolution, and panning angle. Look at the science here from the RED cameras. https://www.red.com/red-101/camera-panning-speed Anyways.. 25fps and 30fps originated from the Alternating...

    Go with the Zoom over the Pro

    if you like still photography or shooting in low light/golden hour and enjoy colour grading in post then the go with the pro.. if you want to just shoot and upload for instant gratification or dont have the time for LUTs then go zoom. I preferably like the sound of a 1 inch sensor but after a...

    MP 2 out this July 18

    It's called Mavic 2... No suffix of pro or anything.. Looks like a 2 axis gimbal with an EIS yaw.

    MP 2 out this July 18

    DJI launched the (IMO) revolutionary Mavic Pro prematurely and at a very very affordable price point (i think it was personal and intentional to kill GoPro - Wang vs Woods). The Mavic Pro is almost 2 years old and still ahead of the game and still worth every dollar to this day. There isn't...

    MP 2 out this July 18

    Wow.. maybe they saw what the competition had to offer (Parrot NFI and Austel) and held back to not make the same mistake they did when the decapitated the GoPro Karma.

    New Parrot Drone

    In Parrot charges for in App purchases to add flight functions.. Anafi That's pretty disgusting... I expect that from 3rd party developers.

    Where On Earth Is The Mavic 2?

    DJI quads are now like Apple Iphones. Both have dominated/monopolised the market and therefore there is no need for them to release a new version every year. It will just cannibalize their own sales. DJI will follow in Apple footsteps and add "S" variants that have slight improvements, like we...

    New Parrot Drone

    Wow. Very smart of Anafi utilizing the same tech as the Spark - 2 axis gimbal and software for the third axis. The spark films in 4k (4000x3000 = 12mpx camera) and uses Electronic stabilisation (as seen in the first Bebop). It then stabilises the footage by cropping down to 1080p. This removes...
