There are at least some directional (by design) USB-C cables. They will be marked HOST and DEVICE or similar on the two ends. See photos below. Remember that USB-C is just a physical connector type. Not a specification. Anybody can put whatever they want in there. It’s the Wild West out...

Yea usb-c cables are not all the same. Having the same physical plug for everything is great but a byproduct of that is lots of different cables that look the same are vastly different in their capabilities. Its even hard to find the right thing when you know what you are looking for.

Apple Silicon Macs have dedicated hardware for both ProRes and H.264 and the same will be true of PCs with newer dedicated GPUs. It’s certainly not a “big” difference or even a noticeable difference between the two. The benefit to ProRes is probably more that you don’t risk compatibility...

I think that is probably overstating the importance of ProRes vs ALL-I h.264 a bit. What was “huge” about Mavic 3 Cine from a video editors perspective was that it was the first small consumer grade DJI drone to offer an All-I recording mode, that it came in the form of ProRes was icing on the...

Yep, there you go.

Newer Apple Silicon Macs, particularly the M4 apparently. M1, for whatever reason, doesn’t seem to be as affected. All-i is not a codec. Like I said in my longer explanation above, it’s just a generic term that refers to any codec that encodes every frame of video independently. The DJI all-I...

The issue with DJI’s All-I seems to limited to newer Macs using Apple Silicon chips with hardware decoding enabled. Seems M1 chips aren’t having the same issues, reportedly. Seems like an early launch bug that will get worked out shortly to me but who knows.

This is basically just a matter of marketing, simplicity, and standardization. ProRes is an All-i codec too it’s just Apple’s specific implementation and standardization of it with the main benefit for ProRes being that it’s simple to understand and doesn’t have a lot of options to screw up...

Yep, exactly

I found this issue on the GitHub Unable to set quality when taking still photos · Issue #146 · dji-sdk/Mobile-SDK-Android Now I’ll say I am not a developer or anything so I may be misunderstanding what is being said said there and please correct me if I am wrong but it sounds to me like DJI is...

What is the function? I don’t see that anywhere in the SDK documentation.

I have never experienced this. Is POI mode just greyed out or what?

The most questionable spec is a larger sensor. What’s the next step up of mass produced sensors? APS-C? Seems very unlikely but I said the same thing about the 4/3 so who knows.

I think you have to figure out if this is an ISO thing or an auto exposure thing before we jump to conclusions on how to solve it. The test for that would be to take two examples, one set with auto exposure and then the second set to the same settings but manually and see if you get the same...

Thanks! This worked. I actually put one in yesterday exactly like that hoping this would work and a one month waiver has already been approved! FAA is on it today!
