Without any input on my side and after 2 seasons of happy cooperation, Litchi suddenly quit connecting with my Mavic 2 Pro. The app was purchased and installed via Amazon Store when such was allowed for custom Android OS of CrystalSky. I did that on both CS I owe, and both Litchi installation...

Your main picture and video storage media is SD card. Pull the card off Mavic, insert into a dedicated SD card reader and plug it into PC. It should appear there as external volume with a folder containing still images (JPEG, DNG, or both) and/or video files (MOV or MP4). Transfer these to a...

I'm still struggling to understand how this strictly cinematic lens will translate aerial imagery. Where in the world the drone camera will be able to benefit from this very specific optical trick? Well, will see ...

Most likely these are stitches of vertical pano, some shot with 1-2 sec exposure. Masterfully, BTW ...

Shooting a landscape with long lens rarely makes any sense, while the same lens will deliver stunningly resolute wide angle image when the panoramic sequence is stitched. I just can't see any landscape objects frozen still in time of shooting to allow for non blurred details when stacked. We are...

Well, this method may deliver some considerable results (I've never tried this, must confess), but not even close to what panoramic stitch is capable of. It is explained in this article as well ...

I'm afraid you're confusing "stacking" with "stitching". Stacking will not improve image resolution, while stitching will. I'm doing just that producing meters wide wall printouts at 300dpi resolution from up to 160MP stitches, using 3x3 panoramic sequences shot by M2P...

Having a serious landscape aerial photography in mind M2P will be as low as I would go image quality wise. M2P sensor size can't compete with any decent DSLR these days (most notably in noise department), but with some trickery one can achieve stunningly resolute panoramic stitches up to 180MP...

Well, none of my birds can fly to Onoway from Edmonton, but it's close enough to call you a neighbour :)! ... I'm an avid landscape photographer and hobbyist, flying Mavic 2 Pro and Inspire 2 with X5S camera. Inspire 2 is definitely the best for aerial photography in $5K+ price range, but it...

TBH, it's a PITA to me...BTW not that I have a choice, but I'm fading away :)!

Th Such linguistic annoyances arrived with smartphone era of short, barked out messages. You either learn this language or fade away into oblivion :( ...

I downloaded both files and examined them on MacBook Pro ... Perfectly normal annoyance for any video or film made this way, aerial or not. What you see it's a stuttering effect indeed, typical with fast panning or forward passages at low distances above ground (case #2). Additionally brutal...

LiPo "smart" battery management issues (any LiPo battery, actually) was discussed to death since the DJI empire rise from the dust a mere 6-7 years ago ... Generally speaking the idea is to keep batteries at 55-60% charge (2 LEDs solid, 3rd LED blinking) between flights. Therefore, once the...

"I don’t believe auto discharge can begin during a flight" True, but I've seen a thing or two DJI branded that were behaving not as intended by a FW ;)...

In contrary, it may be a problem if a pre-determined auto discharging procedure kicked in just in the middle of this particular flight. I may be wrong, I've been wrong before. Logically thinking, the act of powering should cancel auto discharge timing, but ... All I know for sure is that topping...
