    Conflicting information from DJI on care refresh for Mav4 Pro.

    So if I buy from withing the US...there is a fellow selling them in Florida...I wonder if they would support DJI Care Refresh from Canada or if this would only apply to purchases from Canada as I suspect would be the case. This thread makes ordering from Canada sound pretty onerous.

    Cinelike Versus D-Log M

    It is a color space much like DLog M but, I think not quite as flat as DLog M. Dlog and Dlog M are logarithmic compressions of the color space. Cinelike is not a log profile but it is does some flattening of the color space so it's better than shooting normal if you have dynamic range issues...

    Pano with 70mm lens??

    Most often I do my panos (not spherical) manually shooting ⅓ overlapping images with the 70 and 120mm lenses. Lightroom stitches them beautifully, even 5 shot AEB. For some reason it chokes when using 3shot AEB. Often with the 120 lens I'm shooting 7 across and 3 or 4 down for 50 or more...

    Conflicting information from DJI on care refresh for Mav4 Pro.

    maybe 4 or 5 days...and as I mentioned in a previous post, they sent me dji cap and followed up with sending me a free Mav3 Pro battery! that was a shocker.

    ND vs. ND-PL Filters for DJI Air 3S

    Let me clear up a few misconceptions. CP filters can be useful on a drone in some very particular circumstances. They are most effective when the light is 90deg to the camera, not at all effective if the light is behind or in front of the camera. With a wide angle lens you will likely see a...

    Conflicting information from DJI on care refresh for Mav4 Pro.

    Just today I spoke on the phone with a DJI person who called regarding another order (no problem). He said if I ordered a Mav 4 Pro from Canada it would be no problem to get care refresh but given the problems with customs getting it shipped back and forth was a potential problem. My take on...

    Requiring somebody to roll back their OS or stop using hardware encoding is "fixes it" ? Interesting perspective.

    Not as of yesterday, but they did send an email saying that they had no idea as to when it might be available, which I already knew

    If you consider ProRes to be an All-I version which I think it technically is, then Mac computers (and many others) have hardware support built in so processing that is very, very smooth. For whatever reason, both Mac and PC users are reporting a lot of problems with DJI's All-I which may...

    Mav4 Ordered

    in the end the reason I cancelled my order was DJI telling me they are not prepared to repair them in the U.S. and I would have to send it back to Korea for repair because they do not have the parts and ability to fix it in the U.S. A few weeks ago, I did a chat with DJI and they said just the...

    Mav4 Ordered

    my drones are insured by State Farm but only as long as I am using them recreationally. Having my Part 107 is not a problem but I can't use them commercially. They would not be able to fix a broken one of course and I don't know how much of a depreciation they would affix. It's' cheap but...

    Mav4 Ordered

    I asked DJI for clarification on the repair issue when getting something from Korea or wherever...their response made be very glad I backed out of the Mav4 order. They said, "Thank you for waiting, yes, if you purchased from Korea then your device will have a warranty in Korea and you can send...

    After watching my friend lose his drone and SD card I began using smaller cards and changing them out through the day.

    Mav4 Ordered

    I've cancelled the order. Luckily ebay shows the order cancelled so it was at least not a scam and they didn't try to force the issue and send it. Hopefully the Mav4 will become available at some point since it is already FAA certified. We may not see anymore DJI drones until another...
