    Course Lock

    I haven't found a speed lock yet. I'd love it if there was one. I am usually flying offline and often have to do course/plan calculations manually on the site - depending on what we find when we get there. Flying manually trying to maintain a specific speed is nearly impossible from my...

    Please stop harassing wildlife!! This is also the kind of behaviour that gets drones a bad name. Lets use these things responsibly.

    Full image is blurry and no camera control - PLEASE HELP

    Same issue here...sudden problem...everything works but the camera controls, and focus is fuzzy - entire image. Tried different ipad/phone etc. Tried diff cables. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling app. Tried gimbal calibration etc. All to no avail. Why haven't we heard from DJI on this?

    Numerous Mavic Pro Issues After One Month - **UPDATE**

    Same issue with unresponsive camera. The camera actually displays but out of focus, and has a choppy delay. DJI Go 4 or controller has no effect on camera - though it is willing to fly. Only the camera is unresponsive. Not yet resolved. Other issues mentioned have come and gone and come again...

    Putting Wings or Winglets on a Mavic?

    I'm no engineer. I get the comparison, but when the machine is hovering, it is pulling the air downwards rather than having to fight air "falling" on it. Is there no difference between these two situations? Thanks FM

    Putting Wings or Winglets on a Mavic?

    Perhaps it would be better - though more complicated design-wise I guess - to pivot the motors instead of lift the back/raise the front. On that note, I also wonder if to achieve forward flight the back comes up or the front goes down..? Any of you engineers know that? Would it be marginally...

    DJI ND Filters

    Hi Folks Lot of posts on this so am choosing this one mostly at random...hope that is OK. I am wanting to buy some filters (mostly need polarization for looking 'through' water glare). I see some concerns raised about filter balance upsetting the gimbal. Is this really an issue? There are...

    New Government rules ????

    OK, so I thought this was an international forum. It would be very helpful if a country was indicated in relevance to any particular regulation discussed. Thanks

    Camera Field of View

    Thank you so much for that. Knowing that I recalculated and discovered that the recorded image height is out by about 5 metres. I took the photo at 40 m (according to the realtime flight indicator) but the metadata file says it was at 34.9 m. ....but 30 m gives the right FOV number, but why...

    Camera Field of View

    Not to worry...you won't stop me. I like to get down and dirty....it helps me learn more rather than just be the computer the drone is. Not that I won't use the apps...but I like to know how/why things work regardless. Interestingly, so far no-one else seems to know the answer to my question...

    Camera Field of View

    Hmm...not sure what you mean here. I tried it using the 78.8 degrees I found in the specs, then tried it at several altitudes in the field using a 13 metres line of sticks marked at 1M intervals. As noted above, I got very different results. Not sure how to interpret that now. I thought the...
