    Mavic 4 Spinning am I missing something?

    I get the feeling that this is a variation of the trick first programmed into the Inspire 2: where the camera pan would get to a pre-defined point and the whole aircraft would spin on its axis to accommodate the continued pan. Impressive to watch, but nothing new.

    DJI vs American drones.

    I'm a photographer first & foremost and there is no way I'd even claim to be a baseline competent videographer (because I most definitely am not), so a camera drone for me is like a really tall tripod... or a tilt/shift lens coupled with a really tall tripod. I'm in awe of anyone skilled enough...

    DJI vs American drones.

    When I was scouting out a drone 6 years ago, it was DJI that had the most mature tech... and from a technical perspective... they were also leaps & bounds ahead of most rivals, being the real innovators. In the end it was a three horse race between DJI: SKYDIO and YUNEEC which DJI won by a long...

    DJI FLIP GIMBAL ISSUE

    The only time you might encounter the same fault with a like-for-like replacement is if the replacement came from the same manufacturing batch (not impossible as retailers buy in bulk)

    Single straight white line is very annoying.

    Faulty sensor. The only way to fix it is by replacing the whole thing. Send it back under warranty.

    3 Mavic 3 Pro all 3 cameras used

    Have to agree with the other comments, excellent.

    color shift while rotating gimbal up

    I wouldn't presume to lecture. I'm sure the O/P is savvy enough to work out a compromise once what's causing the problem is pointed out. If Jojonono wants my thoughts on a workaround for a common problem - I'm sure it will be asked for.

    color shift while rotating gimbal up

    There are a couple of things at work here: Firstly, with the camera in nadir position (pointing straight down) the only light source is behind the camera (the sky) so you'll get a perfect exposure. Pan the camera up: and the auto exposure alters the E.V. if it's a bright day: the image will...

    Air 2S lens profile for Adobe Lightroom/Camera Raw ?

    If you're interested, have a look at PHOTONINJA, not freeware, but worth every penny and the only piece of RAW editing software I've happily paid for. Been using it for the last 5 years. It features a non-AI 'learning' distortion correction module based on the HUGIN lens correction GUI that does...

    Another drone shot down

    Luckily, we only see that kind of behaviour in the UK when the Hooray Henry's and sundry other members of the Green Welly Brigade gather together to snort and whinny at each other while they're blasting the crap out of domestically reared pheasants and grouse with 12 bores. Hail the hunter eh?

    Just exactly how good is the obstacle avoidance ?

    O/A is a lot better than it was three years ago, but still nowhere near as good as the advertising videos claim it is. There is only one way you'll find out, but the weight of available evidence and experience leans heavily towards you ending up playing hunt-the-drone in the shrubbery.

    Mavic 2 Pro weak transmission signal

    This is definitely a problem triggered by a firmware update. It is too widely reported to be anything else and all the report details are the same. The only practical workaround that will make sure you can still carry on using your Mav.2 is for you to manually select the 5.8gHz transmission...

    On its very last leg?

    Did you try what I suggested about connecting a 10,000mAh power bank to the RC1A shoulder connector whilst using the bottom USB-A for the video out feed to the flight screen device? That way you've got the working equivalent to a 13,950mAh controller battery. Tried... Tested... Trusted. It...

    Android version 15

    If you mean launching the app for it to momentarily pop up a white box before it crashes out? Then yes. This has happened to me twice now and both times directly after an android/security update. I have DJI GO4 and DJI FLY installed on the same android tablet and after the updates: both were...

    First member of public to have a go.

    I'm used to people quoting The Law, I'm part of a steering committee for the development of a County-wide 'drone policy'... representing the interests of drone users to make sure the County Council doesn't end up pursuing a policy of open discrimination against a minority group... Us. It's a...
