    Attaching a light "looking down" video camera under the Mavic Mini 4 drone

    Greetings all, I am working on a project where I must simultaneously capture video in two directions. Can anyone recommend a decent (and lightweight <100g) true 4k video camera? Additionally, where is the best place to mount the camera without obstructing its downward vision, significantly...

    Automation app for Mavic Mini Pro 4?

    I keep hearing the same. But it's bizarre because when I owned the first Mavic Mini, a few years ago, I swear that at that time, the Android DJI Fly app was almost unusable compared to the iOS app.

    Automation app for Mavic Mini Pro 4?

    It's not about whether one is better than the other, this was a question about API support priority. I am an iOS user, so I'd rather stick to iOS if possible. It appears that DJI's priority is Android.

    Automation app for Mavic Mini Pro 4?

    Actually, I haven't owned a Mavic Mini in about 7 months. I am just about to purchase my next Mavic Mini. I didn't know that the DJI Fly app had this capability. "wait times"? I guess that doesn't mean that I can't set a specific clock time. I guess that will do. Thank you. :)

    Automation app for Mavic Mini Pro 4?

    Greetings all, I thought automation would be straight forward, but now it seems that isn't true. Basically, I am all looking for, in regards to automation, is an app that can control pre-programmed camera shots - Panning, looking up, down, yaw all at specific times. That's all. I couldn't...

    Mavic Mini Pro 4 advice

    Thank you, msinger. I’ll more likely purchase an Android because it will cost a lot less to get a current’ish model compared to iPhone. Or maybe a mini tablet? Thank you for the link.

    Mavic Mini Pro 4 advice

    Greetings all, Now that I have sold my wonderful Mavic Mini Pro 3, I am ready to upgrade to the Pro 4. But the this time, I am considering a return to the RC-N2 controller because I want to use programmable apps and other 3rd party apps that I could not use with the DJI RC on my Pro 3. Is...

    Mavic Mini 3 Pro and the new DJI RC - Significant limitations?

    When I ordered my DJI Mavic Mini Pro 3, I was excited about the DJI RC... I really wanted to eliminate the hassle of attaching my phone to the DJI remote control, so I thought that the DJI RC was going to be a cool upgrade. But now I am rethinking the wisdom of this "upgrade." These are the...

    FCC or CE? Why is this a controversy?

    Ha... I could have guessed you are my "neighbour" by your username. Thanks for the tip, YVRGUY. ;) Incidentally, I had a close call by almost missing my opportunity to purchase the DJI Care Refresh. When I received the drone, powered it up, and registered it, I skipped the Care Refresh option...

    FCC or CE? Why is this a controversy?

    Thanks all, I appreciate all your responses. I'm satisfied now.

    FCC or CE? Why is this a controversy?

    Hello all, I just received my new Mavic Mini Pro 3 today and I am so excited for taking it on it's first flight. But before I register, and buy the DJI Refresh service, I need to understand this whole FCC vs CE contraversy. Yes, I understand what they mean in regards to power output being...

    Very cool. Did you have a lot of throw-aways like I did? Only 1 in 4 of my 4-second drone photos were sharp enough. If you can get about 10 or more good shots, you can combine them (photo stacking) to increase contrast, and reduce noise.

    NEOWISE

    I took my drone out last night, but first focused on taking pictures with a more suitable camera. Unfortunately, by the time I was ready to take the drone up, I could no longer find the comet with my eyes or long exposure with my iPhone. Here is a photo taken with my DSLR and a 500 mm lens...

    Well A+ points for trying. :) The comet is getting closer and brighter (up to July 22). Cloudy weather here, but the weekend is looking great! On my next night time flight (I checked with Transport Canada - I can fly as long as it is in sight at all times), I going to take it up to about 100...

    Very nice photos. It would be awesome to see what the better camera on the Mavic 2 can do. I think you can also expose for 8 seconds (as opposed to 4 seconds on my Mini). But even 4 seconds is hit/miss for stability.
