I like the safe approach of a shore take-off and landing. We've done that with our kayak, and it works well as long as you just want a few minutes of active track following and don't need to get far from the launch point. We get everything ready to go (M2P and kayak), launch the drone and let...

Mavic 2 Pro and Zoom do a good job following people, boats, etc. (Active Track 2.0), and p. 28 of the user manual explains the modes, caveats, etc. This does NOT follow the controller. A separate pilot on the beach would need to be in control of the drone to follow a surfer.

Connection is fine or you wouldn't have the drone data displayed. It appears that your camera is in manual mode and f/11 is too small an aperture for the available light. Need to read your manual regarding camera settings and set either aperture priority or shutter priority to avoid this.

I use Davinci Resolve, in which you choose a resolution and frame rate for the timeline. Incoming clips from different cameras are all converted to the chosen timeline resolution and frame rate. Would think that Cyberlink PD would work the same way.

That happened to me using a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, until I switched off video caching. I also make sure the S2 is in airplane mode and nothing else is running except the GO 4 app. My problem was solved, and I believe it was due to insufficient processor power and/or memory to keep up with all...

Sounds very much like the S2 can't process the video in real time. On my 8 inch Tab S2, flying DJI GO 4, I had to disable local video caching and set the image transmission to Regular (not HD). Now I have no problems. (Note that this does not affect video capture and recording to the aircraft SD...

I'm flying my M2P with the latest DJI GO4 app on my Samsung S2, model SM-T710, updated to Android 7.0. It works very well, but only after I disabled local video caching. When I tried it initially, with video caching turned on, the GO4 app crashed in the middle of flight, and I had to execute a...

I'm using PowerDirector 365 (subscription based). I've been using earlier versions for years. This version comes with ColorDirector, which I like a lot. Also comes with PhotoDirector and AudioDirector, which is better for trimming background music clips.

This is an issue of barrel distortion basically due to the wide angle lens on the M2P. You can search the forum for this issue and find lots of posts, but fundamentally it is corrected out either in post processing (if you shoot DLog video or Raw stills), or it is corrected out by onboard...

Lots of posts online about shooting video at a shutter speed that is the reciprocal of twice your frame rate for smoothest video. So I try to shoot around 1/60 second at ISO 100 and no more than f/5.6. I adjust aperture to get EV close to 0, but the only way this will work in normal sunlight is...

Could be a problem with the Color Mode setting for video on the MP2. The DLog-M setting uses the H.265 codec, whereas the Normal setting uses the H.264 codec. The Normal (H.264) setting should not be a problem, but some software might not support the DLog-M H.265 mode. This is independent of...

Thanks for the info. Fortunately, my wife is also a great VO, and I know what you mean with maintaining sight of the bird even with strobes. We've flown up to about 0.6 miles, and it is barely in sight. But we'll try it for sure!! Also love the Yachats area, including Cape Perpetua and Thor's...

Loved this video!! We've been to this location but didn't own a drone at the time. Now that we have a Mavic 2 Pro, we want to return to the Oregon coast next year. So we're very interested in where we can fly, especially around the lighthouses. So, where did you actually launch the Mavic 2 Zoom...

I believe this problem is caused by shooting with the D-log-M color profile encoding with H265. Adobe LR won't open the file, as you reported, but my video software, PowerDirector 17, handles the files properly. But, if I shoot video using the Normal color profile (8 bit color, H264 encoding)...

Now that Ive learned the Hyperlapse mode on my M2P, I'm waiting for a scene like this! BTW, you can save the original time lapse images in DNG format and process in Lightroom and LRTimelapse to get a final 4K video. A lot more work, but sometimes better results in situations like sunrise or...
