    Broken antenna fix

    I broke one on my Smart Controller antenna (don’t ask me how, I feel stupid). As you can guess, this as greatly reduced my range to about 1 km. I’m planning to send it to DJI for repairs at some point but for now I was wondering if anyone had a quick fix/hack to help me improve my range...

    Does it work with the Mavic 2 Pro ?

    How cold is too cold?

    What about the "MAVIC 2 ENTERPRISE INTELLIGENT FLIGHT BATTERY (SELF-HEATING VERSION)". Do they work with Mavic 2 Pro, and do they make a difference ?

    Litchi v4.18.0: WP mission glitches & how to roll back ?

    I had to upgrade to the new version of Litchi (v4.18.0-a) because of a glitch on my smart controller. I don’t know if it’s related but I’m having problem with a waypoint mission. The heading is now some 30 degree off on a mission that I’ve run dozens of times without problem. Is anyone else...

    Aircraft Encoder Error Warning

    My experience has been pretty much the same as Chuck. I haven't seen any obvious problem so far after flying 8 waypoint missions. But If I'm right, you can't bring it down before you restart the aircraft. While I'm here: the trigger button for record/take picture, do not work anymore. Is it...

    UAV FORECAST alternative ?

    It's free for 48hours of forecast. Anything beyond that and you can't see.

    UAV FORECAST alternative ?

    Does anyone have a cheaper iPhone alternative to UAV FORECAST ? I love that I can have a quick overview of when in the upcoming days I should be able to fly, but I find the price very high (40$/year) for a simple app that uses open source data.

    What Waypoint Mission did I just flew ?!

    I’ve flown a Litchi waypoint mission today several times and I ended up modifying my mission onsite using the Smart Controller, and creating different version of the same mission (Mission-V2, V3, V4, etc.). But, stupid me, I did not take notes of what mission was what flight, and the...

    Speeding up 23.976fps footage (rule of thumb) ?

    Yes so far DaVinci Resolve with Optical Flow seems to deliver the best results. I never really had to stick to even multipliers before... But the frame drops are obvious on one smooth long drone shot.

    Speeding up 23.976fps footage (rule of thumb) ?

    I’m working with a single drone shot of 3 min, shot in 24 fps. The shot is smooth and looks great in real time, but I need to speed up portions of it. I thought this was going to be simple … but it’s not. When I speed up the footage, it doesn’t look good any more. It’s kind of jerky, like if it...
