    MAVIC 4 PRO GIMBAL ISSUE

    I'm not sure what you mean by "glitching and lagging". Could you explain that in more detail? if it is "judder"... the film being jerky on playback, that is most often due to shooting at 24 or 25fps instead of 30fps because our monitors operate (typically) on 60hz or a multiple thereof but...

    MAVIC 4 PRO GIMBAL ISSUE

    Get a case that the drone fits into and throw the gimble cover away. I don't actually throw mine away in the event I'd want to sell it but after I took off my gimble cover it never went back on. I just put it back safely into my hard shell case.

    3 Alaskan Fires part 3

    July 2025 came with hundreds of fires throughout Alaska. Fairbanks was especially hard it with several large fires in the 20,000+ acre category that nearly surrounded the town. Residents were living (are living at the time of this video) with smoke filling the air. Shot with Mavic 3 Pro and...

    Air 3S False OA detections terminate waypoint mission

    I was told by DJI to fly for a few moments down low along the ground before continuing on. This will be addressed in a firmware update, I'd guess. Your not alone. I don't seem to be experiencing it lately so maybe that "fly low" actually works.

    Hello From NE PA

    Welcome from North Pole, Alaska. Nice to see another member from the deep south. Be 100% sure you have a good GPS lock before launching as it will return to that point if you have something cause a return to home. I try to land with about 7% battery. Huge variation on that. My friend tries...

    Import from Mav 4 Creator SSD

    Virtually all larger SSD's read/write faster than smaller ones. Whether you'd notice a difference I dunno. I just know that previously I only used my SD card in my other drones as I shoot too much to use most of those smaller internal ssds. I don't use huge SD cards, preferring to swap them out...

    Import from Mav 4 Creator SSD

    I think there was a thread about this but I could not find it. FWIW I just imported 6.25GB and it took roughly 10 seconds. Mac with Thunderbolt 4.

    3 Fairbanks Alaska on Fire

    As I said, we do exactly that in Alaska unless the fire is going to impact people or homes or other structures. Seems like a good compromise.

    3 Fairbanks Alaska on Fire

    Oh...not true. These fires are all (I think) started by wildfire. Many fires, like the huge fire in the Yellowstone area (if I have that right) years ago are due to efforts to limit fires and underbrush building up which, when ignited by lightening makes the fire even worse. Some species of...

    3 Fairbanks Alaska on Fire

    It's interesting...much like "wilderness". Before moving to Alaska I did a lot of hiking in the California wilderness but truth be told I was never more than about a 2 day walk from some road. I'll admit it is wilderness but draw a line from Fairbanks in almost any direction...odds are it will...

    I'd suggest everyone look at this video for a different perspective.

    I'm going to attach a link at the end (current end) of this thread for you to check out. You may end up reevaluating your statement that LUT's can be damaging.
