    Default camera settings

    Taking photos with my Mavic Pro: I always want the camera to be in EAB mode, so as to get multiple exposures taken with each shutter click. Is there a way to set this as my default, so that I don't need to go in and change the setting from "single" to "EAB" each and every time I boot my my...

    Photo blur

    Out shooting photos today, like any other outing with my Mavic Pro, and after downloading them to my desktop, saw that the first 2 photos were good, but after that the photos became somewhat blurry. I usually shoot from 300-400 ft. in altitude, this day was overcast but not foggy. And here is...

    Mavic Pro can't hold straight flight

    Thank you for all the suggestions. I will employ all that I can and hope the problem is eliminated. Is there a specific "fix" for this condition?

    Mavic Pro can't hold straight flight

    Disclaimer: 98% of my flying is shooting still photos from 390 ft. I just began playing around with video. That being said, I was out messing around today, taking video while flying through an orchard of trees. I aimed my MP straight down a row of trees, however while direct forward stick was...

    Camera shutter sound

    Ok, thanks. I'm not going to worry about it then.

    Camera shutter sound

    I use my Mavic Pro almost exclusively for still photos, usually taken from maximum altitude (around 390 ft). I find that when I get on station, tap the middle of the screen for focus (though I understand that at this altitude specific focus is pretty much meaningless), oftentimes when I tap...

    Two sides to every situation

    I"m a six month drone owner/pilot, using my bird for work purposes doing aerial photography only. I want to call your attention to the other side of the issue that pits privacy rights against the rights one has to fly his drone. Next door to me, living with his parents, is a 40 something...

    Map view and gimbal angle

    You're speaking of compass view. In the upper right hand corner of the map view, there is a tiny little compass. Tap that, and you can toggle back and forth between compass and map view.

    Landing pads

    Seems to me it would depend on your application. My take-off/land points are generally in very dusty areas. I constructed my own pad, 4' x 4', from a roll-up fake bamboo (plastic) patio shade, backed by reinforced plastic tarp, with all the edges wrapped in black Gorilla tape. Not something...

    Newbie check in

    Relatively new drone pilot in Central California. Recently purchased Mavic Pro. I shoot almost exclusively still photos for work analysis, so much of my interest is in getting the best results for that. Also just general workings of the drone. Thanks in advance for any help I can get from...
