    Black Screen -3.0 EV

    Does it go totally black, or just the camera live view is very dark? And what happens if you set the exposure compensation to zero? Since you say you are using manual mode, the EV value shows you how your photo/video will look like in relation to correct exposure (-3EV is heavily underexposed...

    Drone caught in grass.

    I do the same with my car, which has panoramic glass roof. But when I tried on a different car with normal roof, I was getting magnetic interference error each time and couldn't take off [emoji14]

    Looking to buy a Mavic 2 Pro but have some questions

    As Sleepy says - YouTube uses compression on every uploaded video, thus comparing raw video file with YouTube's video is not fair. However before I bought my M2P, I did a lot of research on image quality and from what I remember, at least at 4K video, P4P is sharper than M2P. On the photo side...

    Good Android phone with 6" screen for DJI GO 4 (Mavic 2)

    I have actually considered tablets, but I didn't want to use any extra mounting holders. I've seen people wedged iPad Minis into the controller clamps, but I find it too fiddly. Anyway, I have done 3 short flights so far with Huawei Mate 8 and it works fine. 6" is IMHO a sweetspot for flying...

    Good Android phone with 6" screen for DJI GO 4 (Mavic 2)

    Yeah, I've been looking at them as well, but the problem with Samsungs is, apart from being generally loaded with lots of bloatware, they are not that cheap even the older models; I couldn't find any decent one below £150.

    Good Android phone with 6" screen for DJI GO 4 (Mavic 2)

    We actually share the same opinion, first thing I do on a new device is switching auto updates off, so I am in control of my device and not the device itself. I thought the Wunderphone was some kind of a new Chinese brand "invention"... well it is Chinese actually but I didn't know it was Huawei...

    Good Android phone with 6" screen for DJI GO 4 (Mavic 2)

    All my other mobile devices run on Android, I don't like iOS for few reasons, one of them is impossibility to send or receive anything via Bluetooth to/from a device that is not an Apple device, so I wouldn't be able to transfer files like that to my phone. So, I've just picked up this Huawei...

    Good Android phone with 6" screen for DJI GO 4 (Mavic 2)

    Hi, I'm looking for a phone with approx. 6" screen, that will be my designated flying device. Budget up to £150 (UK, second hand accepted). Currently I'm using Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact (Andoid 8) and it works fine with the app. But as much as I love small phones, I'd like bigger screen for...

    Review of Mavic 2 Pro for Landscape Photography

    xjjon - great shots, especially 0549 and 0136-Edit :) As for aperture - you might want to use f/2.8 - f/4 for best sharpness, check more here: At What Aperture is the Mavic 2 Pro Sharpest? Btw. What software are you using to process RAWs?

    Emergency motor shutdown by accident?

    I use my Mavic 2 Pro mainly as a flying photo camera, and when I'm framing the picture quite often I fly backwards with added roll at the same time. And that's where my concern is coming from, cuz on top of that I can be changing altitude, going up or down. And if I add a yaw there... Obviously...

    Emergency motor shutdown by accident?

    There's one thing that scares me when I'm flying my Mavic 2 Pro... What if I move both sticks to the position that lauches the mid-flight motor shutdown, by accident, doing normal flying manoeuvres? Does the controller give any warning before that happens? How long do you need to hold the...
