    Would you buy a bigger Mavic?

    If scaled a little bit bigger to encompass a slightly bigger/better camera, sensors for the sides and back, and a battery that will last a solid 35 minutes. Oh, and add a useable clear camera cover with less light flare for photography (and light crashes/weather). Sent from my iPhone using...

    help on DNG files: it's me or the mavic?

    You can also click on the icon to correct chromatic aberration, I think it looks like a lens with elements. With my Canon camera it already has a profile for each lens, but you will probably have to do this manually to take out any purples or greens with the sliders. From there I would go to the...

    help on DNG files: it's me or the mavic?

    I agree. But, although I have light room and Photoshop amazingly I may just zoom in, Shoot the picture, download it to my phone from the DJI app and go from there. I think the technical term is called laziness… LOL Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    Your program may be showing the image as a low res preview. Also remember that it is a raw image so you may have to add sharpness to the mix before you burn it as a JPEG. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    Most Logged Flight Time/Distance/flights so far?

    Tin foil hat thinking - but is the FAA going to tap these records and hand out $10,000 fines for every time someone may have fractured a law flying thousands of feet out of LOS, altitude, airspace or over buildings and crowds? I felt funny the last time I uploaded my data to the cloud in DJI...

    What kind of case are you getting for your Mavic?

    Looks good! Do you put your Mavic in the cage when it has been bad? LOL Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    What order are you turning everything on?

    Controller - App - Mavic. That way you are in control of your bird. Not that it would probably ever happen but, to turn on your Mavic first; you have no control of it if if wanted to fly away without you.

    Raw files give you everything captured on the sensor so you can modify and "burn" your own jpegs later. When in JPEG mode on your camera/Mavic pro, the program is set to burn in your predetermined settings (contrast, saturation, etc.) AND your predetermined aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9, etc.) that's...

    Yes, you'll have to post process. I use Lightroom for the conversion to jpeg. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    help on DNG files: it's me or the mavic?

    Raw captures everything and makes it easier to recover and expand the dynamic range in post where as jpeg has less room to save, especially highlights. I'll play with mine and see. I'm an avid photographer and usually shoot my SLR's in RAW. For now my short answer would be to purposely under...

    It's the Mavic not you. I've read elsewhere about RAW photos being over exposed vs. jpeg. Hopefully a program glitch corrected in a future update. Also, jpegs on this have sharpness applied. The camera is small and optical quality is less (cheaper glass with less elements) and will give you...

    Stuttering video playback

    I'm running an iPhone 7 plus. Other than a faster SD card than what came with it I'll check the program playing it back even though it stutters in the same spots. That's what made me think bit rate problems at recording from sd card or heaven forbid from the drone. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Batteries in stock?

    I live in Orlando. I don't suppose you have a store I could pick some batteries up? Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots
