    Gatwick Airport (UK) suspends flights due to Drone activity

    The technology exists to protect airfields. The government and airports need to invest urgently. It only takes one protected incident to pay for the whole system, not to mention human life (priceless).

    Gatwick Airport (UK) suspends flights due to Drone activity

    I'm surprised that airports are not better protected against this type of violation. Surely we have radar or other military technology that can discover drones, much like missiles. Hopefully, the drone operator was foolish enough to fly with active GPS data. They can definitely track the data...

    Thermal imager system

    Night vision should be available when precision landing and waypoints are released via firmware updates! The 12 inch Hasselblad is capable of night vision, but only three pixels will be scanned, add line skipping and there's only about 1 pixel of captured data! Talk on the street indicates a...

    Mavic 2 Pro video playback

    Yep, iPhone X is H.265 ready. On your MacBook, try H.264 with the free version of Elmedia, it should play with no issue.

    Glitcy video on Macbook Pro 2016 i7 3.3 Ghz with HEVC x265 10bit

    Everyone uses proxies, it's very easy once you get used to the workflow. I don't playback on a computer, I use an LG OLED OLED55B7V which is excellent value and it can support 10-bit UHD HDR HLG etc. After a while, you'll know which LUTs to apply according to the style you wish to achieve...

    On what device does it playback smoothly?

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    Yes, you are not alone with this theory. M2P was possibly rushed out the door to some level and with some risk. The launch delay raises some questions! We need to keep focusing on this issue. I'm very hopeful that DJI will provide us with more information if only to strengthen the brand...

    Attack Of The Killer Mavic Pro 2

    I suspect a cause with one word - calibration. There's plenty of setup information within this forum. Good luck my friend.

    Mavic Pro 2 Precision Landing

    Yes, I'd add another month to that too. ;-) Just a standard reply from DJI.

    M2P - High contrast & shadows - grainy ?

    Most of us remove the noise in post-production. I found these profiles useful from The Film Poets. Mavic 2 Pro Lowlight Noise Reduction Profiles - Film Poets Education

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    You are correct, a lot of people feel that the 1-inch sensor (in its current form) seems like a gimmick as it's just not being utilised as we expected. It does not produce high-resolution 4k video images. Granted the high dynamic range (colours, contrast, exposure etc.) is good, so are the...

    Tell It To the Judge...

    I agree, the example isn't relevant in this case. The M2P is restricted anyway when it comes to designated controlled airspace. You'd never be able to fly over a military area, the software will prevent it. We are talking about authorities suggesting they have control over the airspace, where in...

    Tell It To the Judge...

    What? Maybe take a look at the definition of 'Forum' then take a look at the definition of 'Court'. It's the same thing! We are obviously debating the topic, we are not offering qualified legal advice, the OP understands that. For me, one of the most useful comments in this forum was to phone...
