Actually I’m serious - I’m not talking about the file type or codec, purely log footage. Disabling this feature in intelligent mode is surely a business decision by DJI

Thanks. I have to assume it's just a way of forcing pros to buy more expensive models!

Hi all - I notice if I try using intelligent flight modes an .mp4 is recorded rather than a .mov and it's not shot in the d-cinelike flat profile. Is there a way around this? Thanks!

Thanks - that would be great but unfortunately what I'm filming is a development of new build homes with some residents already moved in; not sure they'd take too kindly to a 6am flight haha!

Thanks for all the useful comments everyone. Based on these I'm going to make sure I fly well after school closing time in the afternoon; I had tried to avoid this as this isn't when the sun is hitting the best sides, but I can't afford to wait till the holidays. I also considered contacting the...

Oops that was my last drone. I meant Mini 3 pro!

Hi all - Previously qualified drone pilot here (A2 CofC / GVC) and seldom do drone work these days. However I have purchased a DJI Mini 3 pro to take advantage of the sub 250g laws. I have an old client who wants me to come do some filming on a construction site, but the construction site is...

Hi all - just got a mini 3 pro after switching from the mavic 2. I've got a freewell filter pack that goes up to ND64 and im really suprised how limiting the fixed aperture lens is making it for me with exposures. I'm in the UK so am shooting 25fps, so with a shutter speed of 1/50 the sky is...

Hi all - Back at the end of 2019 I completed a GVC course and got my license and pfco here in the UK. However - a long story made a short - covid hit soon after and my freelancing business took a huge hit and I'm only now starting to get back onto it and getting work through. As my attention...

Thanks for the reply. I actually have my GVC, I'm just out of practice and really struggle to remember the rules, which is one reason I'm considering getting a freelancer in for this as it's a lot of plates for me to spin; when the latest regs came in i realised it's a lot to keep up with! My...

Hi all - I'm currently considering getting a new drone pilot on board and was hoping someone could help with a question I have. I do have an A2 cofc myself where I did fly every now and then for property developers, but my business model has changed where i've been more deskbound, and have...

Thanks for the reply - it's so bloody confusing. Am I right in saying though that anyone this year could have been flying in the open without the A2 cofc? As for now, does anything change for me in terms of permissions with local airports? For example I have a potential gig coming up which is...

Hi all - in 2019 I got my A2 cofc and planned to use it lots, but unfortunately a trio of a family tragedy/covid and the personal illness has meant I’m only now getting back into things. I’m aware that the whole system has been replaced and I’m trying to find out if I can continue with what I...
