Located on the Little Conemaugh River in Cambria County, Pennsylvania. The original 1833 single-arch Conemaugh Viaduct was destroyed in the Johnstown Flood of 1889. During the flood, debris built up behind the viaduct, holding back the water. When the viaduct suddenly failed, the water was...

There is no raw format available for videos, BTW. The D-Cinelike profile is a low-contrast, low-saturation profile that provides more latitude for post-processing, so that may be your best choice if you intend to edit your footage.

I received an Airsense warning yesterday after updating the firmware. I agree with hiflyer201 that the aircraft probably wasn't transmitting ADS-B.

On the MA2, the removable default "filter" is just an empty frame; the UV/protective filter is permanently* attached to the camera, so if you put on an ND filter the cracked filter would still be behind it. (*Obviously it's removable somehow for repair, but it's not removable in the sense that...

The SDK does not implement waypoints on the Mavic Mini due to firmware limitations. Dronelink is able to perform waypoint missions on the Mavic Mini because it uses "virtual stick" mode, which is implemented in the new SDK. As far as I know, Dronelink is the only third party software that can...

Also, charging the phone battery and using power-intensive apps like satellite navigation (Google Maps etc.) will cause your phone to heat up, so I try to avoid those immediately before and during flight on hot days.

Based on various threads in various places, it sounds like the lack of waypoint support for the Mavic Mini in yesterday's SDK release will be a problem for Litchi, but not for Dronelink. https://support.dronelink.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360048862474/comments/360012169474

One subtitle for every frame! 1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,033 <font size="36">SrtCnt : 1, DiffTime : 33ms 2020-06-20 16:27:28,049,620 [iso : 100] [shutter : 1/60.0] [fnum : 280] [ev : -1.7] [ct : 5734] [color_md : d_cinelike] [focal_len : 240] [latitude: 40.390962] [longitude: -78.777403]...

No, the MA2 uses an electronic shutter for both video and still photography, as far as I know. The specifications section of the manual only lists "Electronic Shutter Speed: 8 - 1/8000 s", with no reference to a physical shutter.

If you turn on subtitles in the camera settings, you'll get subtitles in a *.SRT file that include the shutter speed and other information. VLC can display those subtitles. If you didn't have subtitles turned on when you shot the footage, I don't think the shutter speed is recorded anywhere else.

Yeah, I've done that a couple of times. Especially for things like firmware updates, where I'm not actually going to fly. It would be nice if the gimbal cover pushed on a microswitch when installed, so that the drone could display an error and not try to move the gimbal.

After you mark it with your FAXXXXXXXXX number ;)

I'm on an iPhone and don't jailbreak so I wasn't really thinking along those lines. If I had to guess, it would come down to how similar the API for the new birds is to the old API. One reason you create an API in the first place is to smooth over differences between backend implementations...

I don't think so. To do that, you would have to modify GO, but only DJI is in a position to do so. Nobody else has access to the GO code, AFAIK. I'm new to the DJI ecosystem, and I have no experience with GO or writing code against the SDKs. But, from my vantage point, it looks clear to me that...
