    Remote ID Modules

    Do you know how the FAA registration works with remote id modules? I do like the idea of being able to share one module among multiple drones, but can't help but wonder if the FAA wants the module to be linked to a specific registered drone and not the pilot. Any info here is helpful.

    How to Cancel-Low Battery Return to Home

    I too have this issue. I was actually landing it manually and 2 feet from the ground when low battery RTH kicked in. I couldn't gain control. Pretty sure I pressed pause, but not sure. I let it go through the RTH routine, which was fine. So, does Pause typically work to cancel RTH

    H265/ HEVC in Premiere Pro 2020 does not work.

    Since you got 2019 to recognize it, try opening that project in 2020. It will have to upgrade the project to 2020 first. Hope that works, just a hunch on my part.

    IPad Mini 5

    So, is the iPad Mini 5 bright enough for using in full sun? And in general, is it necessary to have a Cellular version?

    Waypoints 2.0 - Saved on device or in DJI account?

    Thank you for the info. I had a feeling Litchie was the answer. I have avoided going there yet since it looks like a long learning curve. True or False?

    Waypoints 2.0 - Saved on device or in DJI account?

    When a Waypoint mission is planned/executed, is the file saved to the device running DJI 4 GO, or is in my DJI account? I ask because, I'd like to pre-program on my larger screen tablet, but fly the mission on my phone which has a much brighter screen. Or is there another way to save the...

    Mavic 2 pro range photo - 6 kilometers = 3.72 mile

    I could not agree more. For any drone pilot, pro or recreational to fly so recklessly is a stain on is all. Everyone... put yourself in the situation, where your drone is miles away, at some high altitude, in clouds where they are strictly forbidden, and a plane strikes it causing it to crash...

    Space rolling backwards. Mavic 2 Pro, shots taken at altitude above 18K feet in Himalayas, Nepal.

    If memory serves me correctly, service ceiling refers to the altitude that an aircraft can only climb 100 feet per minute maximum at full power. So, climbing performance will obviously be reduced, but can still get up higher.

    Mavic Pro 2 Importing Dlog-m H.265

    Double the frame rate is the standard approach to shutter speeds in film/video. That is not to say you can't have a higher or slower shutter speed. Too high and it will look unnatural, think the D-Day landing scene in Saving Private Ryan... it becomes hyper-real. For drone footage, any slower...

    Mavic 2 pro range photo - 6 kilometers = 3.72 mile

    I hear you. The temptation is strong to look around like you are a bird, Humans have dreamt of it for millennium and now we have the chance to do it vicariously through our drones. But like Icaras who flew to close to the sun on his wings, we too must be careful not to fly so far away as to...

    Mavic Pro 2 Importing Dlog-m H.265

    I'm a new MP2 user, but a very experience video editor. I too had issues importing H265 dlog footage into Premiere 2020 version. The file structure was seen by premiere only to the top folder but not within the 100Media. After a couple of attempts, it just worked. Nothing was changed...

    Mavic 2 pro range photo - 6 kilometers = 3.72 mile

    We're on the same page Paulf. But I also find it curious that so many people are baffled that their drone would not return home or get lost completely when it's 3 miles away! No surprise there. As a Part 107 pilot, I feel very strongly about VLOS and altitude limits being ignored by people...

    Mavic 2 pro range photo - 6 kilometers = 3.72 mile

    What is the fascination with flying so far?! You do know the rule, right... keep it within visual line of sight. That does not mean looking in the general direction of where it flew, but being able to actually see it. I know I can't see my MP2 any farther than 1200',

    Envato Elements?

    Envato is a terrific source for stock video, stock photos, graphics, after effects and premiere templates. All kinds of stuff very inexpensive. For instance, I needed a skyline photo of Chicago's skyline at night... Getty images were $500, I got a 12,000 pixel width photo from Envato for $6...
