    Mavic 4 pro creators transfer rates to PC?

    There's no standardised colours for USB-C although some companies do have colours for USB-A. Thunderbolt cables and ports are usually marked with a lightning icon which you can see on this cable's ends: https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Thunderbolt-Cable-USB-C-Meters/dp/B0725DW6D3?th=1

    Any grey market resellers of Mavic pro 4’s?

    If the drone was bought officially in the US and DJI sold a care package for it, that's DJI's problem to sort but I can't see how it would be a problem anyway. DJI care on previous drones sold in the US has been handled in Canada and since the drone is for sale there, they should be able to...

    Mavic 4 pro creators transfer rates to PC?

    There is no misrepresentation on symmetrical data/power delivery, it isn't physically possible for USB-C to USB-C cables to be directional, they have no hardware to identify their orientation. I've used a lot of different USB-C cables (we use them for computer docks) and I've never seen a...

    Mav4 Ordered

    AI is often problematic with information that is changing quickly since it has no idea what information is correct at the time, it can only go by training data. Right now the US import rate from China is 30%: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czx0ry7kdk5o The 90 day pause didn't include...

    Mavic 4 pro creators transfer rates to PC?

    I'm talking specifically about USB-C to USB-C cables which have no way to tell which way they are connected hence they cannot have different capabilities depending on which way round they are connected. I notice that most of the cables in your second picture are USB-C extension cables which are...

    Mavic 4 pro creators transfer rates to PC?

    I'm not sure what you're meaning here but it's part of the USB-C spec that the USB-C to USB-C cables are bidirectional so it doesn't matter which way round the cable is plugged, it behaves the same. A USB-C cable is simply a port with a number pins connected by wires within the cable (there are...

    DJI All-I video question.

    You don't have to use the codec, it supports more standard codecs as well - the All-I codec is only available on the creator combo as a substitute for ProRes. Changing the filetype or extension is not going to make any difference if the playback device or editor doesn't have suitable codec support.

    DJI All-I video question.

    There's some discussion on this in the M4 section: https://mavicpilots.com/threads/editing-and-previewing-all-intra-all-i-footage.151786/#post-1703967 Transcoding seems one option, people are suggesting a Resolve option as well.

    First Drone Purchase: Current Tariffs Turmoil what would you do?

    It's such a difficult situation to offer advice on because it's all so unpredictable and it can change so quickly, it may be the situation improves and the costs come back down to what they were and DJI sell the drones as normal...or the 145% tariff could return and DJI choose not to sell...

    Believe it or not? DJI rep says they pay all tariffs.

    Leica have also announced new pricing for the US after raising prices for the tariffs between 75% and 90%, the new reduced values are around 20% higher than the original selling price...

    DaVinci Resolve - am I doing this totally wrong?

    I think that was a limit in the past but not any more, the free version is limited to 4K60. In terms of what resolution to use, I use a 1440p monitor but I export at either 4K or 1080p because they're more standard video resolutions and widely supported across most devices whereas 1440p and...

    100MP and 25MP DNG please

    You must be one of the first people on the forum with the drone, would be good to hear your thoughts on a first impressions thread or similar.

    100MP and 25MP DNG please

    Sounds like it's clearcut this isn't the drone for you then.

    100MP and 25MP DNG please

    With the 1in, APS-C and FF sensors all using a 3:2 aspect ratio it's what I'm used to for photography for a while now.

    100MP and 25MP DNG please

    It was quite a surprise to me when I saw an article on here mentioning the sensor was 3:2 and I wondered if it was an error since the other larger sensors are all 3:2 but the sensor clearly is 3:2
