    The ol' Mavic Pro still flies like a dream...

    Of course...<;^) FWIW, the Phantom 4 Pro does the same...so I've heard...<;^) Honestly, any software that isn't actively guiding the drone will simply upload waypoints, which the drone will follow autonomously provided the mission is programmed that way. In some programs it's called...

    The ol' Mavic Pro still flies like a dream...

    I purchased my battery on eBay. The battery's nomenclature is devoid of the DJI logo, so it's clearly not OEM. I have about a dozen flights on it and am very happy with its performance. D

    Another moire question...

    Moiré is a simple fact of photography and videography whose only cure is compromise. Moiré is a factor of math (pixels). "Compromise" is the only way around it. You either have to compromise lighting or angle or resolution or sharpness, etc. As an experiment try viewing the footage on...

    The ol' Mavic Pro still flies like a dream...

    Hey doods! My girlfriend is getting a new roof on her house, so I decided to document the entire process via the ol' Mavic Pro. I must say that she still "just works." Say what you want about these old school drones, legacy firmware and legacy software. The bottom line is that it all "just...

    something new learned today, air 3s stunning time lapses !

    I believe Adobe purchased Mercalli™ stabilization and subsequently integrated it into Premier Pro. I've been using Mercalli™ stabilizer for over a decade. Back in those early days I was using a customized Phantom 1 with a Hero3 camera mounted on a DYS Smart3, 3-axis gimbal. Here is the raw...

    What video settings do you recommend for recording a construction building using Waypoints?

    I know this goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Definitely make sure you shoot in 4K, not 1080p. No reason for higher frame rates. In fact, I would suggest 24FPS would look more cinematic in a final edit. Go with native ISO and 1/50 shutter speed if you want a cinematic looking end...

    Exposure lock works on photo mode but not video?

    I assume this option is available for compressed video modes only (h.264 and/or h.265). Correct? I assume that this option would NOT be available in RAW or ProRES modes. Correct? I did some quick research, and DCP seems to be utilized mostly by consumer LED TV's, which makes sense. In that...

    Exposure lock works on photo mode but not video?

    Hmmm...it sounds like cheating dynamic range by changing exposure setting mid shot, which would be unacceptable in any pro setting. But I could be wrong. I'll research this. Thanx for the heads up. D

    Exposure lock works on photo mode but not video?

    Exposure Lock? Isn't that just another word for "Manual Mode?" Just take it out of Auto mode. D
