    Video Editing Software

    A decent solution both on Mac or PC is Wondershare Filmora. It has a straight forward interface and is easy to use. It's loaded with effects and filters. It won't brake the bank. On the contrary a real professional type of program is Davinci Resolve. 95% of all it does is in a free version you...

    PAL Settings...

    If you fly under artificial lighting conditions (lamps, spots, tubes) etc... you will need to set the exact Hz on which powerline net you are since the images will start rolling and flickering when not set to the proper setting. For Europe it is 50 Hz, an I think for the USA it is 60 Hz. Since...

    Refurbished mavics

    I had the bad image issue from day one and sent it back after two weeks of testing. I got mine back after a five week period and it had the same serial number. Gimbal + camera was replaced under warranty. I could see it because of the small sticker with lid on the back of the camera. I knew it...

    How to aim for the ideal shutterspeed (ND filters)

    Hi. I'm using a set of Polar Pro ND filters for my Mavic. I have the 4-8-16 filters. On a bright and sunny day it seems I will need the ND32 or my shutterspeed is to fast according to the cinematic 1/60 when filming at 30fr/sec. Since the Mavic has a fixed lens opening or F/stop, one can not...

    Hi everyone.. im thinking about upgrading! what u think? :)

    I both own the P4Pro and the Mavic Pro. The Mavic had the blur image problems and is still at the DJI factory, some weeks now. Love the portability but when I take out the P4P it over classes the Mavic what image quality is concerned. For me the Mavic is ideal to take with me when I travel on my...

    How to Exceed Max Altitude for Mountain Flying?

    This what I wrote as a comment on his video : This is as fake as it gets... if you watch the counter on the right in the screen the publisher wants us to believe his Mavic ascents at 100 meter per 2 or 3 seconds. The Max Ascent Speed is 16.4 ft/s (5 m/s) in Sport mode... what a hoax... Just my...

    The Canal

    Finally I got my MP to shoot some decent 4K footage flying over the canal near my town. I filmed in DCineLike color profile using custom -1 -1 -1 settings and did a bit of contrast and color correction in Davinci Resolve 12.5. So far no more washed out parts from the lens or sensor. I'll keep...

    Mavic Photo Quality is AWFUL... Please help!

    That's odd. But nevertheless okay if you are happy with the jpeg outcome. I don't now what color settings you are using. I'm using RAW for stills and have CineLike for color setting. It gives me enough room to not blow the highlights and I can lighten up the darkest shadows without introducing...

    Mavic Photo Quality is AWFUL... Please help!

    These are RAW previews. It's embedded so you can see thumbnails on a computer with OS that supports these previews. If for example you load the image into Photoshop, Camera RAW will launch and you have full resolution and a ton of settings to adjust your photos. Next you either save the edited...

    DJI GO 4 says "firmware update required", but I don't want to risk it

    If you want to downgrade the app version you can uninstall the DJI GO 4 app and look at DJI GO 4 APKs - APKMirror for earlier .apk versions. Just download them and manually install the app on your phone or tablet. (Android).

    NVIDIA K1 TABLET

    I'm using the K1 tablet running the latest android 7.0 and the DJI GO 4 app. It works fine. Only on one occasion a few days ago the app crashed and needed to restart. Mavic hovered and I still could fly with the RC. When app came back online link was reconnected.

    Help with soft image corner, DJI says it is a firmware issue??

    I suffered from the same issue since day one. I have a label waiting to return my Mavic. I did a camera reset and after that I had some sharp corner to corner footage. But after that I went bad again. Since the latest 0.400 firmware I have done a few flights in different conditions and so far...

    Sunrise in the village

    Today I took the Mavic out when it still was dark. Take off when first sunlight hit the horizon and made a few passes over the village watching the sun rise this morning. It was also the first full flight after the latest firmware update and all went well.
