Just don't rotate the antennas down LOL. Seriously....I have yet to need to do so but all my flying has actually been in VLOS. I don't think I'll ever need to use the antennas as long as I can actually see my drone. Maybe I should test it. I KNOW that if I am technically in VLOS...

I have a screen protector on all my controller screens. Doesn't diminish it and makes me feel better....

It's the brightest screen of any DJI controller and that alone is a big deal. I love it. I have never even needed to fold out the antenna. If you don't do distance test, fly around the back side of a build or the other side of the mountain...hard to imagine when you'd actually need to unfold...

so what is the screen lock feature??

I get so tired of mosquitos so I appreciate these updates!

Very nice. thank you. It would be interesting to see that done as a hyperlapse with a long shutter speed.

I chatted with DJI on this issue with my Mav4Pro. I have seen it with other drones too (I have 8 DJI drones) so it's not just the Mav4 Pro but it's definitely an issue. I was told to fly along, low to the ground to "calibrate" the Obstacle Avoidance" system and indeed, that seems to be helpful...

I have not read the entire thread but when anyone is having trouble like what this seems to be they should see if using Proxies will help.

I'm sure that's true but I can easily get BVLOS (if I wanted to) with the antennas not extended at all so that seems good to go for me :).

I live in North Pole so I prefer to believe...LOL

What makes you think methodology is flawed? Just because you don’t believe the results?

This video of mine starts off with me hand holding my iPhone 16 shooting out my car window as I pass by and burnout area and it’s followed by a variety of Drone images and video. For what it’s worth….

Exactly so. This is another form of shooting auto but just ensuring that it’s the ISO that changes. Most serious shooters don’t shoot auto and I won’t bother going into that, but I rarely shoot auto for all the obvious reasons. The idea of using the log M with auto settings is very interesting...

I’ve yet to even unfold my antennas while in flight and have had a strong signal at all times

QUESTIONS: 1. If you use Auto Exp there is no way to lock White Balance so that's not something I'd do often. 2. Can DJI move from 400ISO to something between that and 800? I think that's all that we can do but does DJI have the ability to do it more smoothly? A full stop change would seem...
