I'd go with Mini 4 Pro if you don't want to pay for a Mini 5 Pro... I'd actually go with an Air 3s since my backup would be for a Mav4 Pro.

I think I heard the tap... I was pretty sure...and...you may be able to increase the size of the thumbnail icons which will allow you to visually notice the difference in aspect ratio, and of course the size of the file is the other clue. But you knew that, hence the tap on the head LOL.

In your root folder, not the Panorama folder, see if there isn't a pano there. It would be a higher MB count and of course the thumbnail would reflect it. I'd guess you have done that buy I think all my drones will create such panos - but I'm not entirely sure.

tell me more about the 11 and 21 shot panos. I have a Mini 5 Pro but I mostly use it as reconnaissance for my Mav4 Pro and don't do a lot of Pano's. Is the actually a setting that says 11 or 21? I need to fire it up and check this out....the manual doesn't even use the word panorama... I see...

Last week I was flying at -35F. Actually I had a very brief flight at -40F. I have tested my original Mavic 3 at -40F and timed it at 15min. At -20F larger drones like the Mavic series are only marginally affected by the cold temps as the battery is always heating itself and is "contained"...

Go to the UAF Geophysical Institute and you'll find links to the Poker Flats Aurora cam. That's what we keep an eye on and you can get predictions at Product Subscription Service. Sign up for Warnings for KP 4,5,6. That will give you a heads up on when an aurora is forecast. 4 is OK...5 is...

If -40F sounds chilly, we've had -70F at our home but thanks to global warming that never happens anymore, so please, continue burning fossil fuel as much as possible and consider raising cows :).

yer tougher than me! :

That is generally the case here too. I hadn't thought about that but I have told many people that when it's -40F it's never windy so thanks for bringing that up. Quite the oddity.

OK...not really -40F for the picture of the mountain.... Here's the "rest of the story" as Paul Harvey used to say... I was heading down south toward Denali Nat'l Park (which I didn't make it to) when I saw this pre-sunrise mountainscape in the distance. It was 9AM, well before sunrise. I got...

I had to do something like 5 takes to get that reveal positioned properly. I was shooting with my 6x tele and had to get it lined up properly with the trees the way I wanted so when I would rise up it would be where I wanted it to be but keeping it nice and smooth and raising the gimble a bit...

Sunrise about 10:30, Sunset at 2:53 PM. Those images were shot when I was on my way to get some sunrise images. Didn't get them :)>

I've seen little about how it is controlled. By where you look? I see trailers with people holding there arm out. I can't do that. Thus I wait to understand better how the drone is controlled.
