    Mavic Pro AEB Issues

    I'm running ancient firmware on the drone itself, and a roughly year old app. I just started shooting AEB3 and ran into this issue. Came here hoping it was fixed in some update I've ignored, but looks like that's a no. Even with the first 2 of the 3 the same, Lr makes better HDRs than shooting...

    props

    Would you happen to have an amazon link to the MPP props? For some reason I can't seem to find them. Thanks!

    props

    Which props are the quietest? My main complaint about the stock props is how loud they are. I like to do a lot of photography when I'm out biking, and I don't want to annoy others trying to enjoy nature.

    Mavic Pro Excessive Image Noise

    Thanks, I've been using GIMP because free, but I'll see if I can play around with lightroom, I've heard good things about it.

    Mavic Pro Excessive Image Noise

    Sorry for the multi-month bump - for some reason I never got any notifications of replies and didn't find the thread again until now. I will give all of the advice a try. For the saturation, is that a setting on the drone itself? I don't think I did any processing on the images above, so it...

    Golden FW version?

    I'm curious how far back the app can go on Android. You used to be able to turn geofencing on or off, and that got taken away at some point. Wasn't a big issue for me until I tried to fly near an airport (where I had ATC approval) and couldn't get it to unlock. A list of gains and losses in...

    Golden FW version?

    My firmware is way out of date because back when I got the Mavic about a year ago, the version I had on there (01.03.0400) was recognized as the "best" in terms of performance and stability, and I have never bothered to update it since. There have been a lot of changes since then, and I'm...

    How to avoid noise and grain in videos

    My amateur understanding of ND filters is exactly what the poster above me said - Their main (only?) purpose is to achieve proper exposure when using a lower shutter speed than lighting conditions would normally allow. I will also occasionally fly with my ND4 on as a cheap lens protector since...

    What is going on with DJI GO

    I went to 4.2.12 around a month ago, but am going to bump it back up to 4.2.16 as I had no idea at the time which updater had borked things (I was far behind) and jumped back a ways. Not sure if it is related, but ever since then my photos only sporadically sync to my phone, and I usually have...

    What is going on with DJI GO

    Do you need to have the latest version of Go installed in order for geo-fence unlocks to work? I tried to fly near an airport today (after getting ATC approval), and all my Go App said was "Can Not Fly". This was a yellow restricted zone according to their map, but I couldn't self authorize or...

    What is going on with DJI GO

    The one issue I do have now after going back to 4.2.12 is that photos no longer automatically sync to my phone (yes the settings is on). I have to manually go into the gallery, select them all, and tell them to transfer.

    Mavic Pro firmware 01.04.0400 (Jul. 4, 2018)

    Curious if this is something intended for the next gen Mavics, which some folks have speculated (from a photo) might have a removable gimbal/camera.

    What is going on with DJI GO

    I updated to the latest app after installing the Oreo update on my S7, and it made the Mavic unusable. Garbage video that was pixelated and artifact filled at best and completely dropped out with the drone less than 10ft away at worst. I rolled all the way back to 4.2.12 (without trying any...

    Mavic Pro Excessive Image Noise

    I've never been much for the technical aspect of photography, but the Mavic has given me a reason to want to learn more. I've noticed that my photos this week seem...off. I'm not sure if this is a recent thing (need to check my archives once I get home), or just something I'm noticing now...

    Latest Firmware 1.04.0200

    I'm still on .400, but check in occasionally to see what's new. Any reason to upgrade yet?
