    Spots on pics and video

    I agree that full replacement would be easier but it’s tough to justify spending $100 on an older possibly obsolete drone. Most replacements are used so The chances that there are already fungal issues Is high. If you buy used make sure you have some recourse if you find mould or fungus. Also...

    Spots on pics and video

    spot fixing in pics is an option but in video that would be a real pain. Was wondering g if the glue was heat based like an iPhone screen. I may give that a try, was wondering if anyone else had pulled the camera apart successfully

    Spots on pics and video

    Have seen this topic occasionally. Dealing with it on my Mav Pro. Seems that many of these lenses are afflicted with lense fungus. My spot has grown in the past 6 months. Old school photographer trick was to leave the lense out pointing directly at the sun to let the UV kill the fungus. It...

    Firmware v01.00.0300

    As a rule, whenever you update the firmware it is wise to recalibrate everything, IMO, compass, gimbal and flight optical sensors. I lost a whole trip to Costa Rica’s video after upgrading firmware without recalibrating. All my video ended up being weirdly out of focus which I only realized...

    Tablet for a monitor

    Used to use a Samsung s6 edge plus which was the largest cel phone at the time, excellent ultra bright display, lots of processing power, no operational problems. Just upgraded to iPad mini 5. Larger display is nice but the display is darker then the Samsung so you need to find a shady spot on a...

    Florida - Disney Parks

    Could always put your batteries in a dark bag and place them on top of a wheel out of sight. Just don't forget them.

    Landing / recovering UAV at speed on a ship

    Best bet is to practice hand catch in back of pickup truck. Start at slow speeds and increase as you gain confidence

    Has DJI completely abandoned Mavic pro owners?

    It's been a long time since I have seen any firmware updates. If I think real hard, it had to be before the 2 release. Since these updates also included fixes and security (virus) protection, are we left totally exposed. Seems an irresponsible way to push us to upgrade. Any news on this...

    Anyone waiting for the Hasselblad 2X zoom coming out next year?

    Already doing all this with my go pro 7 black strapped to my mav pro. Unbelievable footage from large lense and 1" sensor that is properly utilized. Everything that the mav 2 promised. That's the best plan till the mav 3 comes out.

    Mavic 2 Pro 4K60 what are the odds?

    Have we established it is not also a matter of heat dissipation? Doubling scan rate of the sensor would also produce increased heat issues. This is a major problem for shooting on GoPro Hero 7 Black with a similar sized sensor in a larger format with improved heat syncs. It craps out within 15 -...

    DJI stop making Drones

    Well the financial shock has yet to hit you. Now you need a computer that will edit 4k video. Break out another $3k plus money for software. In for a penny...

    No more updates for Mavic Pro?

    All good suggestions that have been done with no solution. OOPS, just had a thought, if the tilt problem is linked to a Go 4 update, has anyone tried Litchi to see if the problem continues? I don't have litchi myself but would be happy to buy it if that was a fix. If you or someone you know...

    No more updates for Mavic Pro?

    No way to go back to an earlier version of Go 4?

    No more updates for Mavic Pro?

    Think we are stuck with that along with the no-fly update required, no matter how many time you update it. Thanks for the Go4 lead. Anyone else noticed this link between horizon tilt and Go 4. The problem has been around long enough and talked about enough that something should have been done...
