    1st crash in over a year, what happened??

    Cheers guys. Went to DJI Official shop in Paris. Stellar customer service. They also replaced the right stick. Anyway to post videos here? Another video with a 50% down movement with no controller input. Accident, was arguably my fault, but how to test it without flying? Knew had a warranty...

    1st crash in over a year, what happened??

    Finally received it. Proof of zero pilot error and a wonky remote. Anyone with drifting or remote problems, film it (I did) and send it to DJI, if under warranty. Luckily EU has a 2 year one.

    1st crash in over a year, what happened??

    Thanks people, for “translating” the data and the smart arse remarks ;) No magnets. Memory is 100%. No pilot error. Sometimes things go wrong and not always pilot’s fault at all. Went to DJI shop (only one in France) and had their tech team look it over, data and machines. Remote problem...

    1st crash in over a year, what happened??

    Screw it, I’ll try DJI. Only live 25 mins cycle away, would be silly not too. Plus I already went to see them the same day as this incident, 4 hours before, to report drifting and remote beeping.

    1st crash in over a year, what happened??

    That’s a great read out, thank you ?. So strange though, I was fighting drift with taps (as the speed shows) then speed suddenly just increases soo much, that’s when it went crazy. Could there be something sticking inside the remote to cause the constant backwards drifting and this accident...

    1st crash in over a year, what happened??

    Thanks guys. Exactly what I thought happened. BUT, I wasn’t pushing full on on the sticks. Just tapping to keep straight. As mentioned, the drone has been drifting back for the last month, every other flight. Remote calibration every other flight because of beeping. When doing the...

    1st crash in over a year, what happened??

    Hey, Drone “drifted”/flew into a side of a building at speed. Sideways. Have been having incessant remote beeping noises for the last month. Since last update. It goes after remote calibration, but always comes back. Also did an IMU calib, with same result, solved for a few flights. The...

    File management - bracketing (AEB)

    Lightroom CC or Classic. I know CC doesn’t support AEB merging. Tried merging AEB before the panorama part of operation? I mostly shoot 3 AEB shots and merge in LR Classic. Takes ages and is mundane but, hey! nice photos. If you save them as a stack, you can clearly see then hdr image in your...

    Rule of 3rds

    Definitely. I try and put interesting things in the bottom third or top third of the photo(left, right, or centre). Only use Lightroom for post editing, just to play with shadows and colour really.

    Rule of 3rds

    I think it’s great. Nice colour. Try the same scene from a number of angles (from ground level to top down) and see what tickles your fancy. Have a gander at @badmouche on the ‘gram. I use the rule of 3rds semi religiously.

    ND filters and Polarized ND filters

    I beg to differ. If shooting in bright light or reflective areas, such as water, NDPL filters are a necessity. Better than just ND. Otherwise you risk too much over exposure.

    Flying areas in Essex and havering

    What about Southend pier? Or Clacton pier. Beautiful coast. Watch out for the locals though

    Stopped in at the DJI store in Paris

    Exactly. I’ve been flying for months now. Actually bought my Air from that shop in Paris. Very nice staff. Just an hour cycle or 30 min train from Paris and you can fly to your heart’s delight. 1.5 hours by car and there’s no restriction, except 150 m, which is logical when it’s not a...
