    Internal photo options in 10 second increments

    It's set to shoot raw + jpeg. Is that the issue? I remember shooting in point of interest mode before and I had the option to shoot an image every second. Currently, I'm only able to shoot 10, 20, or 30 second intervals.

    Internal photo options in 10 second increments

    Hello all, Today I attempted my first timelapse project. The Tuts on YouTube said to use 1-2 seconds intervals for photos. I know I've seen this option in my menu before, but today there were only the options to take photos in 10 second intervals. Does anyone have input why this is occurring...

    No more updates for Mavic Pro?

    I understand what you're saying about multiple adjustments when editing. After all, we're not making Hollywood Blockbusters. Have you tried the manual gimbal adjustment I read about later in your thread? I haven't tried it yet, but that sounds like the solution.

    Battery query: How big or small a bulge before we stop using an MP battery?

    Sorry about your trouble. You've been given allot of support. One more thing to keep in mind is that the battery can swell more under load and then shrink again at rest. It's a bit like a car tire. When they are rolling, they heat up and expand, increasing pressure. When these batteries are...

    No more updates for Mavic Pro?

    That video seems to be the solution. I'm going to check it out as well. When the narrator says, 'clicking sticks' to make adjustments, do you happen to know exactly what he is referring to? Thank you

    No more updates for Mavic Pro?

    I've been flying mavic Pro for a little over a year. The horizon tilt was introduced after the first couple of updates. It's almost definitely the app. Isn't the cant something that can be corrected in editing?

    Really discouraged right now...

    If they are swollen, I wouldn't take a chance flying with them. Mine swelled in flight and began pushing the battery away from being seated in the drone. I lost connectivity. The only way I could land was through manual navigation. Worst case scenario the drone looses power and falls out of the...

    The manual says not to leave batteries in your drone when not flying. Better safe than sorry. If for some reason your battery catches fire, there goes your drone. I keep my batteries stored in fire proof bags. You can buy them on eBay specifically for individual drones.

    Best battery discharge method?

    From varied input I've concluded that we should not discharge our batteries to the point of shutting down. My drone didn't overheat, but now I plan not to let the batteries drop below 20%. That standard eliminates having to run the drone on the ground apart from takeoff and landing. Thanks

    Thank you for taking the time to thoughtfully reply. From what I've researched and consensus from other replies, your answer send to be the most succinct. Everything I did was instructed per the mavic manual. For my situation, I think the this I did that had the most detriment was letting them...

    I do exactly what you suggest. Number the batteries and keep a diary of their life.

    The information related to discharging every ten cycles was in a DJI manual. Others have posted that has since been changed. Based upon what you suggested relating to not using below 40% send to contradict the manual suggesting to set RTH warning at 30%.i might be wrong here. I just know that...

    DJI Go aircraft disconnected

    I use the charger that came with the 'fly more' package. It was pointed out by another member that the charger can't be a factor because the batteries are made with smart technology included which should prevent them from overcharging. Makes sense to me. After everyone sharing their input, I'm...

    We ruled out that the charger may have overcharged the batteries because of their smart function. It could be logical that the drone had an issue which would effect all four batteries about the same time. I'm going to figure out how to post the flight info so that possibly someone might find a...
