    Regulations - Canada

    My understanding is that provincial and national parks are off limits, except with permit (commercial, research etc.). city parks is unknown to me. Canada does have a lot of open areas, but if you're in a city, getting to those areas is not "convenient"... The suggest made by the Minister of...

    New Design for Lens Hood

    dunno if this has been covered yet, but: how much have ND/CP filters cut down on the flare and glare? I imagine it's not completely dealt with, but wondering if it's enough to pass on lens hood?

    Any info yet on video bitrates?

    hmm.. I'm curious if it is technically possible to change the bitrate through a software update? If so, what are the drawbacks, besides file size and dependence on faster, more expensive micro SD cards?

    Android Nexus 6P disconnects and battery errors

    I've read that connecting to the bottom USB port and selecting Debugging Mode on your 6p is a workaround for a bunch of the issues ppl are experiencing.. haven't tried myself. It seems a lot of the issues (crashing etc) are tied to Go4

    Any info yet on video bitrates?

    I had a chat with DJI about this.. here's what I was able to get: 60 mbps is a constant bit rate it will record at 60 mbps at 4k on either PAL or NTSC the bit rate will remain at 60 mbps at lower resolutions (I specifically asked about 2.7k) compression (rate?) is not lower at resolutions...

    Android Nexus 6P disconnects and battery errors

    hmm, interesting issue.. thanks for sharing this. I'm sure this protocol will save some people a lot of grief and high blood pressure knowing they at least have an alternative for flight and recovery!

    Android Nexus 6P disconnects and battery errors

    i've been reading more on DJI Go 4.. seems like a lot of your issues are being experienced by other phone users (both android and iphone): DJI GO vs. DJI GO 4 Might be the app specifically.

    Experience with RMA

    The RMA issued was for repair. I assume that if the complete system was compromised (not just the camera) they would have. For me, I can see possible delays with shipping me a new drone (as many are now experiencing) so getting my drone repaired with individual components and sent back is...

    Experience with RMA

    I do not have DJI Care. Not sure what the issue is with believing a company would not fulfill its warranty agreement on a product that clearly did not arrive to spec.

    Experience with RMA

    No, I wasn't charged. They just included the quoted repair costs, which are covered by the warranty.
