The blur in the photo is typical for camera movement during exposure, it is not caused by focus error.

It is digital zoom. No DJI consumer drones has zoom lenses - the only one with true zoom was the Mavic 2 Zoom with a 24-48mm (equivalent) lens.

That is correct. Have a look at these two photos from a mobile phone. The first is a jpg straight from the camera. The other is a DNG from the camera, adjusted in a RAW-converter. The burnt out sky in the jpg is impossible to recover, but in the DNG the dynamic range makes it easy to keep the...

This does not work for me. With or without VPN, same issue.

Even with Ghostery or uBlock installed, you will still have to accept the 3rd party cookies here, but they (the extensions) will prevent those cookies from tracking you and your browsing across websites, and they also stop most ads.

Mavicpilots.com is the only website I have visited that forces me to accept third-party cookies. These cookies can track you and your browsing across the internet. I recommend you install a browser extension called uBlock Origin, it is widely regarded as the best protection against trackers and...

Nice video, but sadly this sacred place seems to have been made into a museum for tourists. When I visited Potala 40 years ago, there were no tourists, and the whole palace was open to walk anywhere I wanted - I actually got lost inside there at one point, the 1000 rooms are like a labyrinth.

Generally yes, and as for the Pulpit Rock the Norwegian air authorities said that it is legal to fly over and around the rock. But since it is private property the owners may restrict take off and landing on their property. So just walk back a short distance until you don't see the sign, and...

Don't blame the poster for that! It is Mavicpilots that demands that you accept third party cookies, and like you I hate it. Delete all your cookies regularly, use a VPN, and a privacy-focused browser. Chrome is the worst of them all. I use 5-6 different browsers, each for their own purpose.

There is a national park in Lofoten which is a no-fly zone, but Reine and Reinebringen is outside the park, so it is legal to fly there. But close to Reine is a heavily visited place called Bunesstranda, or Bunes beach. This is within the national park. The same is the even more visited...

City center is a bit unprecise, except for Oslo. Flying over people is more precise, and the rules here depends on what category you are flying under: A1: fly over people but not over assemblies of people A2: fly close to people A3: fly far from people In A1 you may be allowed to fly over a...

As a recreational pilot you don't need Ninox. When flying in Norway the most important rule is no drone flying within 5 km from an airport without permission. If you do, they will find you and confiscate the drone and you will get a hefty fee. Norwegian airport authorities have a very...

Strange, this is not necessary on my phones with Go4 (Samsung and Huawei). But I do not use the latest version of Go, maybe that is why.
