    Do you use the digital zoom?

    I know you are losing data and losing pixels, but is this really EXACTLY the same as just cropping in in post production? My simple experiments make me feel like although I've lost the pixels, the digital zoomed in area has a much cleaner image (for video anyway) than a cropped in area and the...

    -3 contrast, 0 sharpness question.

    Hey everyone, can anyone here speak for these specific settings (-3 contrast, 0 sharpness)? After seeing God knows how many +1 sharpness posts I've found my footage far too noisy, but also didn't want the mush watercolor effect seen in darker areas on 0 and below sharpness settings. So I decided...

    Jerky video

    I think it's that your shutter speed is too high? Use NDs to bring it to around 1/50 for the 24fps to add the motion blur.

    Mavic handheld cheap rig

    Hey everyone I've followed another person's instructions and added a simple velcro strap to keep the controller attached for gimble tilt to make a cheap mavic holder rig. Here's a link to a little video

    Battery full charge and discharge

    Hi saloon, that's exactly what I do for everyday flying. Do you do a 3 month drain to 0%?

    Battery full charge and discharge

    Hi, I had a quick search and couldn't find a straight answer. Can someone please tell me if this should actually be done (step 3)? I've seen comments where people say it's unnecessary, could it at all be detrimental, or do they mean unnecessary as in simply a waste of tine? Also, to do it fully...

    Crashed Mavic - Gimbal no longer stable, but, can I fly with clamp on to still get stable shot?

    Someone else might be able to confirm this but IF you decide to fly with the clamp on, maybe put the gimble mode (dji go 4 app) to be fpv rather than follow. Obviously probably better off to just not use it but I feel like this would be the better option as the gimble in fpv mode is fixed to the...

    Polar Pro Katana?

    I am so far from any kind of expert, but the first thing that comes to my mind is that when we are updating the mavics firmware it sits turned on for 30 to 40 mins and gets very hot underneath while it sits so close to the ground with those tiny fans. So surely using it handheld walking around...

    Polar Pro Katana?

    Absolutely devastated this has only just come out! I've been using the mavic handheld for a little while and although it's far from perfect, it does allow for very simple quick close ups to be better than a shakey phone camera, in my opinion. I would have got this. Unfortunately I have just...

    Not cool - S7 edge lock up mid flight

    My s7 was doing that before the Android 7 update! I started using my old s5 and never had an issue since
