    Flying the Mini 4 Pro Indoors - ATTI Mode or Other Tips?

    It will be interesting get confirmation of whether the handheld shows different coordinates as you move around. I can't see how it could and believe that the repeater could only relay the coordinates of its outdoor location, which makes me wonder what the purpose of such a device would be.

    CPL question

    Polarising filters are more trouble than they are worth for use with drones. Most folks that use them are unaware of how to use them properly.

    Mavic 3 Blurry Long exposure shot

    Eight seconds is too long an exposure to expect the drone to be able to manage. Even at two seconds, I would shoot several times to have a better chance of having one good one to use.

    Flying the Mini 4 Pro Indoors - ATTI Mode or Other Tips?

    But what does that mean? When you move the GPS receiver 5 metres, do the coordinates show that? Or do they stay the same because the repeater is just rebroadcasting the coordinates for the location of the static repeater?

    Custom Zebra / Overexposure warning setting

    No .. It's either on or it's off

    Detail of RAW vs Jpeg

    There are differences, but they don't involve the level of detail.

    Compass Calibration

    The guy who trained you didn't understand what compass calibration actually does or when it might be required (almost never). His training was guided by the compass misinformation that DJI used to put in their manuals. Read the first post from the link I posted in post #8 to learn the facts...

    Update on Mav 4 Pro confiscated by Customs

    Ah yes ... your constant harping that whatever you imagine might actually happen one day. Still none of that has come to pass as yet. Or perhaps the year after, or the one after that? Or maybe never. Do you live in North Korea? Sure sounds like it rather than the land of the free.

    Flying the Mini 4 Pro Indoors - ATTI Mode or Other Tips?

    I don't fly indoors but I started flying back when DJI drones had a switch which allowed you to fly in atti mode when you wanted to. I used to do it often but never anywhere near obstacles.

    What part of DJI did not launch in America is so hard to understand? No matter how often you pretend that it didn't, DJI's launch of the Mavic 4 pro went perfectly . Your country just missed the party due to the chaotic and unpredictable business environment there. C'mon ... surely you can do...

    Flying the Mini 4 Pro Indoors - ATTI Mode or Other Tips?

    DJI hasn't made consumer drones with user-selectable Atti Mode for many years. Atti Mode is what you have when your drone doesn't have GPS reception (and is unable to use the downward-facing sensors to maintain horizontal position). Atti Mode = GPS Mode without GPS and without VPS If you have no...

    Compass Calibration

    I explained what you asked for. There was no change in firmware or hardware. I haven't recalibrated any DJI compass in over 10 years. The only time my drones brought up DJI's poorly worded compass warning, that makes users think they had to calibrate the compass, was if I placed the drone close...

    Compass Calibration

    It wasn't firmware or hardware. Read what I posted because I've given you the answer.

    Compass Calibration

    What DJI changed was the misinformation about compass calibration that they spread for years in their manuals. Truth is that you've never needed to recalibrate the compass of your drones. The warnings were that your perfectly functioning compass was telling you that the spot you'd placed the...
