Hey everyone. I was hoping you guys could review some pictures of mine and let me know if I am doing something wrong. I know the camera on the Mavic Pro isn't the best camera in the world but I've seen pictures posted by many people and they all seem to be much more clear than any images I'm...

What exactly are "long range mods" or "battery mods" and how are people flying these things 50,000 feet away from Home without losing satellite signal? The farthest I've flown my drone from Home was around 1,600 feet away and occasionally it would say something about the signal getting weak or...

Nope, the cover was removed before flight. Not sure if it was the fact I was flying it at around 9,000 feet elevation and the sun was just coming up or if my settings were messed up. As for the movements, yes, I definitely need to smooth those out. Is there any free video/photo editing...

Here is the link. You can see the video is washed out. I know shooting into the sun isn't ideal but if you have to do it and you don't have a filter...what are the best settings to tone down the glare? Also, do you get clearer images by taking screen captures of the video or taking actual photos...

I did a hike up in Mt. Charleston in the Las Vegas area two days ago early in the morning and took the drone up. Time of the flight was about 7:05 AM and the sun was very bright and rising. The drone was more or less looking into the sun, but as you can see from the video even when I turn the...

I just started my drone for the first time in 2 weeks to fly it and my DJI app said there was a firmware update. I updated the firmware and once it got to 100% it just kept saying "updating..." "updating..." and would not advance past that 100% updating. I waited for quite awhile and it still...

How do you save camera and video settings? I've heard that Sharpness should be set to +1...I found how to do it in the DJI app but when I change it, nowhere does it say "SAVE" or anything like that, and as soon as I go back to the home screen the +1 doesn't save.

Okay so then it is completely normal and it happens to everyone? So if I took a 20 minute video and it gets split into two separate videos is there any video editing software I can download so I can splice the two together to make one video again? What does everyone here use to edit their videos?

Hmm, that is very interesting. Now that you mention it, no, I was not on level ground when I turned it on. I had the drone on a rock that was angled upwards. So maybe that is why it wasn't working because it wasn't level? I will have to try that out again.

Also I'm not sure why it is doing this but can someone explain this to me: Today I took the drone for about a 20 minute flight. I hit the record button once to start and hit it again after 20 minutes to stop. When I got back home I put the memory card into my computer and I have two video...

Can you take pictures while in the middle of taking a video? I took the Mavic for a short flight today and was filming and was pressing the camera option on the top of the controller thinking that I was snapping some pictures, I get back home plug my memory card in and realize there are no...

Did all of you guys register your drones with the FAA?

^^ Thanks for the reply. I have no issues flying in a much more open space maybe with less people. But like I said, just got the drone and wanted to test it out. I live in a crowded neighborhood in Las Vegas so there are all sorts of people here. As far as I know, it is not illegal to fly a...

Flying in airplane mode is a good suggestion. My main point of mentioning it was just to see if it's normal and if it happens to everyone who gets a notification during flight. Sounds from your response like it is normal.

I was thinking about messaging the guy that made the post. Not to be an *** or anything, just to explain to him that I certainly wasn't "spying" on anyone and was just taking it for a test flight. What do you guys think?
