    open mavic 2 battery

    Thanks to your pictures, I am kind of thinking of just cutting a few peep holes into the casing just to see inside for piece of mind. That being said, I have used the battery several times now without issue... I made sure it was as dry as possible before putting it on the charger, which...

    Jeannie! I can remember watching that back to back with Bewitched when I was a kid during some syndication run at some point.

    h265 1080p

    I was doing some reading, and it is mainly the bitrate that determines filesize. I have not done any testing, but I am thinking that since the bitrate can't be adjusted, this means similar file sizes, but higher quality with h265 ... And then compressed on google servers.

    open mavic 2 battery

    My humblest apologies. I will go cry now, feeling ashamed, having been properly lambasted by my intellectual superior. To answer your questions, if it blows up in my face, I am guessing I might feel pain, perhaps from a burn. If it falls from the sky, I will feel sad. The hot knife trick...

    open mavic 2 battery

    Well, I suppose I can cut it open? Have you any pictures of the "disassembled" battery, so I know the parts to avoid cutting into any wires or boards? My thought is that since the battery was not completely submerged, the electronics may have avoided the water. It was still powered on when I...

    open mavic 2 battery

    I haven't found any tutorials on this anywhere... I (stupidly) crashed my Mavic 2 in a river a couple of weeks ago. I have the refresh thing from DJI and received a replacement drone and battery within a week. This leaves me with the battery that got wet. It charges just fine. I even put it...

    h265 1080p

    The main reason I would like to see smaller files would be so I don't get these that are split at the ~3.8gb mark. Thanks for the info!

    I Swapped the Mavic 2 Pro and Zoom Camers!

    I have always had the (unresearched) theory that the reason there are two mavics has to do with the failed launch back in July ... Perhaps the original idea was to have a zoom with a 1" sensor, it wasn't ready, so they went with plan B, to release two versions ... Either that or there were...

    h265 1080p

    Hello, All of my drone flying is purely recreational. I am (at this point) not really into the whole post processing thing and whatnot. I like to fly my drone and record things, usually using auto exposure settings. I only have a 1080p TV and am not planning on upgrading any time soon. In...

    HLG or Hybrid Log Gamma

    Okay, so for this non-professional, not-interested-in-post-processing consumer who just wants to fly his drone and look at stuff, I am thinking the zoom will likely be the better option. I would still like to see what HDR (HLG, straight off of the drone) vs standard footage would look like on a...

    HLG or Hybrid Log Gamma

    This still kind of confuses me... I can see how what the monitor/TV is capable of displaying is relevant if it is connected to the drone directly, or otherwise directly playing the file, but since I view my drone files using the media player on my computer, doesn't that (and/or the OS) decide...

    HLG or Hybrid Log Gamma

    Hello, I am trying to decide between getting the PRO or ZOOM version of the Mavic 2 ... I guess the thing it really comes down to for me is the ability to film HDR video, so I don't get overblown highlights or overly dark shadows. I notice this here and there on my Mavic Air. I am seeing...
