    Mavic 2 Pro vs. Mini 4

    I've had a Mavic Pro 2 and capitalize Smart Controller since released 5 years ago. I have been very pleased with the reliability, fast setup and quality of images as I am a serious photographer. I tend to be a minimalist and am thinking about getting the even smaller and more portable Mini 4...

    Lost signal of both my Mavic 2 pros

    If you are using the same remote controller for both, the problem is likely in the remote controller. If this is the case, I would try reverting to a previous update.

    pictures thumb nail

    I believe there are two locations for images on the controller. One is of the thumbnails used for viewing on a controller and the other is the actual high resolution files.

    What location are downloading from? If not directly from SD card, try that. I remove my SD card and download from a USB card reader.

    Lightroom Super Resolution

    Photoshop and Lightroom have been uprezing images for years. As a matter of fact, I have a JPEG made in 2000 that is only 640k and I've printed it to 24x30 where it looks **** good.

    Attn: Massachusetts Drone Pilots

    In terms of Drone technology, I wholeheartedly agree. However, there are many questions having to do with privacy. One of the greatest objections to Chinese companies, although this may not apply to DJI, is that they steal American patents and Innovations.

    First flight All Good

    Panoramas only record in jpeg. My guess is RAW files would be too big and fill up buffer.

    First flight All Good

    > was jpeg only, how do i make that raw RAW files are pure unmanipulated pixels. You can edit a RAW file and save it to another format like jpeg, tiff etc. However, jpeg files cannot be saved as RAW as editing (sharpness, white balance, contrast etc.) has modified the original pixels.
