    Hand catching w/new firmware

    It really helps to turn OFF the sensors before you hand catch it.

    New Mavic 3 camera? never mind answered in another thread

    Has anyone actually confirmed that the new lens shape on a Mavic 3 is oval and what the difference is in quality and why they would change it to an oval lens? An oval lens on a camera is very unusual. All I have seen are grainy photos of the lens and bad bogus photo comparisons between the old...

    Stick control issue Mavic 3

    Taking off in BYPASS mode my Mavic 3 really does TOP GUN SCHOOL MANUVERS but with no pilot in the cockpit. That was a brilliant way to describe what happens. Mine will shoot up 30-40 feet instantly sometimes and fly totally wonky until it gets to a higher altitude. The sticks are totally useless...

    Mavic 3 on latest software still taking 10 mins to get sat lock

    If you get it in the air 10-20 feet that seems to help speed things up.

    M3 with a few issues

    It seems like Amazon would order in mass quantities from DJI directly from the same warehouse or whatever that an single consumer would? Or does Amazon get DJI drones from another vendor and open every box to add additional quality control? I am just trying to get a difinitive answer to the...

    M3 with a few issues

    I was wondering the same thing, if there was any differences with the product (Mavic 3) between ordering from Amazon of DJI directly? Is that just your opinion that the quality control is much better with Best Buy or Amazon? I do know for a fact that the returns are much easier through Amazon.

    How many "not" having issues with the M3?

    I just returned my Mavic 3 for all the same reasons. I had the same SD card to RC issues with the picture and all controls locking up. Also the record button would lock up. This happened even when I Formatted the SD card which was the newest generation. RTH would work luckily. Also on take off I...

    Apocalypse in the Pacific Northwest - Flying Drone through Wildfire Smoke

    Great video! Does anyone know if flying in that much smoke could damage your drone? I have not been flying my MP 2 in Colorado because of all the smoke. We have days like that one where you can not go outside.

    Active Track Danger

    That was me using ACTIVE TRACK while running. Getting the information out there about Active Track is important but much of the onus must be placed on the operator including myself. It seems like it would be common sense not to fly your drone close to anyone. They are unpredictable to a certain...

    Drone following tornado

    I wonder what kind of drone was used and why it did not get blown away? Amazing!

    Challenger Point in Colorado

    Great photos and videos of the 14er's. Especially considering the temps and wind in the winter. Do you worry about copyright problems with your music. It is so much better than the usual canned drone video music. I worry I am going to get a notice that I owe some artist a royalty check.

    Hyperlapse video frame

    I was looking for an answer to this same question. Does anyone toggle this setting on?

    Davinci Resolve Studio is worth it (to me)!

    Thanks much! I will try that. Power Director does support H. 265. That was why I bought it. If this does not work I am back to using Davinci Resolve.

    Davinci Resolve Studio is worth it (to me)!

    I am having the same problem with Power Director 17 and a very choppy processed video. The original MP 2 Pro video in 4 K, 25 fps, D-Log H265 is silky smooth. Power Director does render H. 265 video but it takes forever. I have new Dell laptop and desktop and computers with upgraded graphics...
