    Moment Anamorphic on DJI Mavic 2 Pro (quick sample flight)

    What controller / mobile device / software are you using? I use the DJI Smartcontroller and have seen something similar, to resolve I closed DJI Go on the controller and reopened, I put it down to a bug in the software where the menu is missing if the gimbal is overloaded. Have to admit I...

    Mavic Mini Newbie - Confidence Lost...

    I don't like to preach the rules but interestingly the smaller the drone, the more difficult it is to maintain sight so Mini flyers shouldn't be sending their drones out any distance, that really negates the whole 2-3KM thing anyway. It's like a car with 140mph on the speedometer but you can't...

    how did you get on?

    Moment Anamorphic on DJI Mavic 2 Pro (quick sample flight)

    When the drone is flipped on its back power is cut to the gimbal so its not fighting you. When you flip it back upright again the controller will show gimbal overload which is fixed 9 times out of 10 by the gimbal auto calibration. The instruction video suggests doing a compass calibration but I...

    I had the same concern when fitting it, the gimbal does not move freely with just the counterweight but once it securely grips the lens the counterweight is clear of the back of the gimbal and moves freely. It's a fair amount of work though if you don't have a table nearby to rest the drone.

    Mavic Pro 2 horizen line not level

    Have you done the gimbal auto-calibration and if its consistent roll have you adjusted manually?

    I have to admit I completely forgot I backed this Kickstarter so was a bit surprised when it arrived, and because I haven't followed its development I did not appreciate the intricacies of fitting it, not something you can easily do on a cold December afternoon standing in wet grass but I...

    For those who miss Autopilot...

    Great stuff, thanks for letting me know. Had a few issues with the app from the android store today on an S10+ but will try the .apk. Oh and the satellite image is missing houses built between 3 and 4 years ago so as others pointed out they're not the best but I think you guys are aware.

    For those who miss Autopilot...

    This is great news, have missed Autopilot for a long time now, keep dusting off the old Mavic Pro to use it. The web interface is superb with dronelink, makes planning a flight very easy. One parameter I can't see though is dynamic point of interest i.e. the controller. Is that something you...

    Final Cut Pro can also do this if you are an Apple user.

    Flying in the snow

    Nice shots. I have flown my Spark with heavy snow falling, not sure I would chance the Mavic but your video shows it can handle a fair bit of snow. Looks like you have to fix the white balance or tweak in post though as the second part of the video looked a bit tinted.

    Best places in the Uk to fly drone.

    That is quite a question, I mean we could be a while answering that. Probably best to start with where not to fly, like near airports, over cities or other high population areas ;-) The other thing to remember is National Trust properties are also out of bounds, but you can still find plenty of...

    DJI Smart Controller (just announced)

    So the control sticks work to control the game or you have to use the screen? I have to admit I am not sure I would install games but Litchi perhaps. I read somewhere the amazon store installs from the web browser.

    DJI Smart Controller (just announced)

    Not tried installing other apps. The only bug I have experienced is popup box in I assume one of the Chinese languages with two buttons but have not idea what it says, I just click another part of the screen and it disappears. Probably says click here to win a million dollars or something.
