    Looking for DJI controller for original Mavic Pro

    Hi Ericole, All DJI drones have their own specific compatibility with controllers and apps — you can’t just mix and match. In particular, the Mavic Pro 1 is not compatible with any of the controllers from newer models. If your goal is to avoid using your phone (for example, to save its...

    DaVinci Resolve - am I doing this totally wrong?

    There are three stages where you can decide on quality: during capture, during editing, and when rendering the final video. I suggest using the highest possible quality when capturing and rendering (just think ¿wouldn’t we love to have all our footage from the beginning in 4K?). But higher...

    Which mobile device are you flying with? (January 2025)

    I use my iPhone 11 with my Mavic Pro (DJI Go 4). Old devices but they work perfectly without any issues. Even if I had plenty of extra money, I’d rather not keep up with the annual change… updating and upgrading just because there’s something newer (although I do acknowledge that, in general...

    Flying below freezing

    In addition to the details already mentioned, each drone model has a defined temperature range for proper operation, which can be found on DJI’s website. In my case, I had no issues with the drone, but I did with the iPad I was using as a screen, so I ended up canceling the flight anyway. Best...

    How young is too young to fly a drone?

    Hi, many interesting concepts have been mentioned, i.e. that a child’s maturity is more important than their age (at least without considering legal matters). It’s also important to consider that flying in a controlled, obstacle-free area is much easier. So, at the beginning, it might be best...

    H264 vs H265? (DaVinci eiditng)

    Hi, besides the points already mentioned that set conditions depending on each hardware, keep in mind that H.264 is the current standard, and everything points to H.265 being the next one, so sooner or later, we’ll all be using it. Best regards,

    First time flying on open sea from small boat ?

    Hi @Pacefast Adding some comments on what has already been said… 1. Whatever you plan to do on the water, practice first on land (including taking off and landing by hand) to gain experience. 2. I suggest that the boat remain stationary at least during takeoff and landing. 3. Even when...

    Question for those who take photos in RAW...

    Hi folks, I think the point is to consider the purpose... where/how we will use the pics… If it’s for professional work (serious, at least), we will know what to do with any editor using the RAW files. If not, the JPGs (with some minor changes) will serve as well. In any case, we can save both...

    Workflow for processing large amounts of footage?

    Hi Xitor, I agree with several points above... I suppose that each one of us will find the procedures that best suit us..., in any case there is a rule that we have to accept: ... we generate much more material than what we will use in the final pieces.... I usually watch several times the...

    Pro That's what backwards sensor prevents.

    I wish to say that was the first option, but my idea was to fly beside the tree …!

    Pro That's what backwards sensor prevents.

    Hi folks, I’ve an old Mavic Pro (1) with only frontal sensors. A few days ago I was shooting on snow, and I took this shot. Since MP2, DJI have added/improved lateral and backward sensors, so this clip can’t be done whit these birds (without turning sensors off). Anyway, I think more sensors...

    What are you guys doing for storage?

    Hi. There's here several replies about storage solutions, I think all of them solves the issue and the best global solution will be different from one person to another ... (brand preferences, capacity, complexity, etc). Another approach here is the fact that we record a lot of material to...
