InvisibleName's comment was about the TITLE of this thread, and he was being overly mild when he pointed out it was "a bit" misleading. The title was outright ( Mod Removed ), given that it's grammar implies a collision occurred.

Good grief - stitching 2x2 or 2x3 photos in Photoshop (or ICE freeware) is hardly “tedious”. It’s half a dozen mouse clicks.

This is an old thread, but as I was actually in this situation today (launching in a steep canyon with no satellite reception) I wanted to report back. So .... in a canyon (or cave), if VPS sensors are active then the Mavic will launch in OPTI mode and won’t allow more than 16 feet elevation...

Changing the physical lens won’t help with that - is related to the low bitrate used for 1080P compression.

In what possible way are Harley Davidsons “another topic”? It’s exactly the same topic, and ridiculous to be singling out drones when discussing it.

I hope you are also pushing to remove all vehicles with internal combustion engines from in, and anywhere near, these parks? The chemical pollution from vehicles, and the road-building that supports them, VASTLY exceeds that from “many” lost drones. As do the hundreds of tons of trash left by...

You can work with proxies in CS6. Here’s one approach: - create a folder for your proxies next to the folder containing original footages and name it e.g. AVCHD.Proxies; - transcode your MTS files into MPEG2 ones with the same file names and MTS file extention (or run Batch Rename in Bridge...

Drone Harmony, since it will let you include the gimbal angle in your recorded waypoint. Then use the 'align' controls in Photoshop when you come to edit.

Good advice here, but be aware that the max shutter for an Air may be only 2 sec, versus 8 sec for the Pro. (I stand to be corrected - that just from my reading of DJIs spec sheet)

An alternative method (free) is to open the file with Virtualdub, with the ffmpeg input plugin installed. There is then a “save frame to clipboard” option in the Vdub menu, and paste into photoshop. This will give high quality, frame-accurate stills.

Since when did GO waypoints set camera (I.e. gimbal) angle - are you sure about that?

Google “microSD audio recorder” - there are many options. The cheaper ones likely have poor sound.

Good to know - was planning to get familiar with Litchi, so this is a further reason to do so!

Thanks for the confirmation!

I’ve been reading threads for guidance on flying the MavicPro through rock arches, under bridges, etc. My understanding is that loss of GPS will trigger ATTI or OPTI (depending on sensor settings and altitude), whereas it is loss of connection with the remote control that will trigger RTH (with...
