    RC vs RC Pro with the Mavic 3 Pro

    Thanks for the detailed response, Chris. Very helpful. Your arguments for the Pro are persuasive as I relate to the issues you mention. 🙏

    RC vs RC Pro with the Mavic 3 Pro

    Thanks for your input. Going with the RC rather than the Pro saves nearly enough $ to get a Mini 4 Pro.

    RC vs RC Pro with the Mavic 3 Pro

    I’ve been flying a Mavic 2 Pro for the past 5 years. Some videos, but mainly very photocentric use. I’m looking to move up to the Mavic 3 Pro, (with three cameras). I’m a bit perplexed by the controller choice…. RC vs RC Pro. A huge $ difference. I would love to hear any feedback re the...

    New Firmware for DJI Mavic 2 series ( Official M2P Firmware Update Thread )

    I tried repeatedly to do the updates via DJI GO 4 for the newer firmware via a Mini iPad with latest iOS. Go 4 was already at the current version. The new firmware update notifications simply would not appear in Go 4. I installed DJI Assistant on a new iMac and that process succeeded in...

    Maximum video length?

    Ok, I can certainly plan on clips that are 5 minutes or less. I am curious, though... if 4GB Is the limit, why are all my files showing 3.5GB?

    Maximum video length?

    Thank you, Mossiback. My iPad Mini has worked well so far with no display issues I can notice. I will leave it off.

    Maximum video length?

    Excellent point! Thanks... I will look into doing that and see if the file size limit remains.

    Maximum video length?

    Thanks to all of you! After getting everything in into LR to review, it is obvious now that the file size limit is 3.5 gig, at least in my case. I am relieved to find that when a file reaches its size limit another one automatically begins. So except for a momentary interruption the long...

    Maximum video length?

    I am doing quite well and having fun using the M2P for still photography... my primary focus. However I am starting to record video as I am close to some amazing geography. I appear to have stumbled on to some sort of limit for my videos. I took one that I was sure was recording that was...

    Hand launch - land?

    Thanks to all who responded to my question. I am so impressed with this community! Re Flightlogics comments re the risk of prop contact... I think that is well understood by all. Personally, I have been around large propellers with many orders of magnitude more power behind them for over 40...

    Hand launch - land?

    Hi, This is probably another noob question, but how does Go4 need to be configured to allow taking off and landing from or into one's' hand? I have seen it done in countless videos and I can contemplate its usefulness at some point in the future. I have tried grasping the bird from underneath...

    Display GPS choices? Noob question

    Thanks for the mini 4 advice, Rickw. No point in spending $ for something that won't work and I have no other use for.
