    Question about low light/nighttime video settings

    Hey guys, I've heard a lot of things about filming at night, one is we should film in 24fps with 1/50 shutter speed. I usually film things at night with ISO 1600. Color profile is Dlog instead of normal. But here comes a problem: Dlog seems to be more noisy than normal, after I apply the LUT...

    Planning to shoot San Francisco NYE fireworks. Any tips?

    Hey guys, Recently I'm so inspired by this Nick Adams' NYE fireworks video, he shot in Phantom 4 Pro. So, I decide to do the same thing (if I could). Mine's Air 2S. Do you guys have any tips? What ISO, shutter speed should I set to? I will film everything in 4k 60fps Dlog. My scratchy plan...

    New DJI Air 2S 1-meter hover crashed to ground

    Update 12/2/2021... Just got the package from DJI, recorded entire unboxing just in case things go wrong... Drone looks brand-new, seriously doesn't look like a refurbished one. Package also came with a brand-new unopened battery. As expected, everything else is unchanged. They also included me...

    New DJI Air 2S 1-meter hover crashed to ground

    Checked it's on April 3rd. I already purchased DJI care on my old drone, do you know if I can do a transfer?

    New DJI Air 2S 1-meter hover crashed to ground

    Update 11/30/2021... Just got an invoice from DJI and surprisingly they ended up replacing my original drone and the battery as the SN# showed up differently. SN# of everything else (charger, controller) remains the same. Just wondering, could the drone they send me be refurbished?

    New DJI Air 2S 1-meter hover crashed to ground

    Some updates... Unfortunately after I sent DJI my drone, they told me they couldn't figure out the reason that caused the crash either. But they will offer me a free repair and do a thorough flight test before sending the drone back to me. I'm still a little upset they couldn't do a replacement...

    Message in Chinese

    The message is basically saying: "Your controller isn't connected (to your phone?) and if you switch mode you will lose connection to the drone. Do you wanna continue? No. Yes." Don't know why it appears in Chinese, could be a bug.

    New DJI Air 2S 1-meter hover crashed to ground

    Thank you. But I'm hoping to get a free replacement. It hasn't been 15 days since I purchased it, the warranty should cover it for sure because it's likely the drone is defected. I've sent out a replacement request last night via email... included all problem footages, log/DAT files and I...

    New DJI Air 2S 1-meter hover crashed to ground

    @slup Thanks for the quick response. So I only found 2 DAT files for today's hovering test. Here you go. Also the front-left leg is damaged. Should I talk to DJI customer service for a replacement?

    New DJI Air 2S 1-meter hover crashed to ground

    Hello, I've already noticed some tumble/jerk during my 2nd flight with some spontaneous gimbal/cam tilting down issues, it was absolutely scary. So I decided to do some 1-meter hover to see whether the tumble/jerk continues to happen. And yep, it started to shake in the air like hell, and then...

    New Air 2S gimbal suddenly tilted down, and more...

    I doubt there was a bird strike. The tumble was nearby I clearly saw it like it did the tumble all itself.

    New Air 2S gimbal suddenly tilted down, and more...

    By looking at my log files I'm seeing some weird medium risk shocks. See pic below. I also notice some abnormally high compass turn rate, which associate to row e and f above. I will post my log here. Can somebody help me?

    New Air 2S gimbal suddenly tilted down, and more...

    Hey folks, I just had my first flight yesterday and the 2nd flight today. Today was definitely too scary for me to handle. I noticed twice or three times that the camera/gimbal suddenly tilted down during the flight, like it suddenly lost the force to point forward. I immediately called return...

    Yoooo, newbie here. I have some newbie questions too!

    Wonder where his "local shop" is haha. My seller posted for $899 and I offered $760 in the beginning. I knew it was already too low for him to accept, but it worth a try and ended up with $800.
