When I got the first msg on my phone to sign up for the DJI Care, I waved off thinking the odds were tremendously stacked in their favor. That is, until I inexplicably lost video transmission a couple thousand feet out to sea...and RTB'd 'on instruments' and didn't get video feed back until I...

While I somewhat expect a cacophony of squawks about poor DJI service, I gotta say, that given the geological footprint of customer service requirements, they're batting 1000 as I'm going 2:2. First phone con landed with the wrong person, who got me to the right person, who was able to have an...

Given how much our 'ashes' (as opposed to our arses) weigh, it'd take quite the beast to haul my bbq'd behind to my final resting spot. Thinking Chinook RPV....

Reminds me of Chuck Yeager's note in his book where he claimed he could see the Japs at 50 miles which is why he was getting the first kills.... I'll wash your camping sox and drink the water if you can see a consumer drone at 20k'!

I was flying in smooth and have yet even selected HD...didn't think it would matter enough on an iPhone8 screen to sacrifice the data feed capability for clearer resolution. Am I correctly interpreting the modes? Thanks for the airdata info. Dove into that and my signal strength shows 100% for...

LT- Thanks for the info and, yes, I was tracking your P107 threads for the exam fees. I have not yet hit the 'press to test' button locally to see what is possible but I am retired USN and a medically sidelined 737 driver. So saddling in to the video feed is as close as I get these days to...

Much agreement here. I spent a majority of my youth sitting on a surfboard at these beaches and only got to enjoy the 'horizontal' view. Getting to see them from above is quite a treat and, frankly, I could watch them all day long. I hope some folks roll in here with some lessons learned wrt...

Been surfing threads to get smart on my new hobby and I tip my hat to the aircrew who take the time share a wealth of their technical expertise. It's clear these devices have well surpassed the technology of what I'll call Gen 1 consumer drones and learning how these operate is not unlike...

Very well said, SethB. Sounds like you've spent some time doing root cause analysis and thanks for sharing that expertise. After being on a few Aircraft Mishap Boards in a couple decades of Naval Aviation, truer words were never spoken. Point in case- we're taught from day 1 aboard an aircraft...

If that isn't the gospel, I don't know what is. LUTs give me (most of us?) a 'cheat sheet' for balancing the tones and while I can pull lots of great details out of the shadows in LR, I will always hit 'auto' first to see what it thinks. I'm not nearly fluent enough in the color wheels to be...

Curious what LUTs you're using. Having a heck of a time finding a decent 'look' LUT for coastal scenes (after going through the tone map LOG to 709, exposure adj, color curve tweak to fine tune highs/mids then white balancing and finally a LUT tweak for 'look'). I found a decent tone map log to...

Gagey52- appreciate the nod from down under. I must admit, y'all taught me how to treat visitors when I disembarked from a large grey vessel with airplanes on the roof mid 90's. Sad to admit that I've never been treated better as a US service member and can't tell you how much us Yanks...

Thanks, Gents, for the warm welcome. I did some homework and got the TRUST stamp/registered the drone and in the process of prep for the Part 107 (don't want to upset the FAA and get my ATP jeopardized...but I'm over two years from last check ride due to a medical so I guess I'll have to jump...

Been hunting for a LUT for my new Air2S so thank you for dropping this note in. Found it on the www and this one seems to be the most balanced to tone map LOG to 709. Can't count the number of 'aftermarket' LUTs on the market....looks like an easy way for folks to make a buck or two but there...

Jumping into this nest of Hornets with a new Air2S and trying to get my head around log processing in FCP. Supplementing a photography biz with drone footage showcasing automobiles. Didn't know the video processing was going to be so in-depth and hoping to find some help from all y'all. Cheers...
