Good advice to use the histogram, which is what I use on my Sony all the time. I will do that more.

When capturing a RAW image when flying, the image on the RC2 controller screen looks good, but after uploading into LightRoom the image is 3 to 4 stops darker. I have had the Air2s and RC2 combo since last December of 2022, and just started seeing this issue in the last month. I always upgrade...

Great question! As a fairly new drone pilot (100+ flights and counting), I view drone videos for discovering best practices and creative styles but many I stop watching after I see that the pilot is taking FOREVER to move on to the new scene. Nothing is worse that a video clip that shows...

Very beautiful city and coastline. Nice video too, I especially appreciate your turn around the city. One tendency which I see a lot, is the extremely slow movement that seems to take forever to reveal the next interesting point of view. The best videos, in my opinion, are the ones with clips...

Peek, not “Peak”

It is a good point that rates will vary depending on your locale, so you really need to be researching local photographer’s websites, then making your decision. I have been a Real Estate photographer for 15 years and gone through this same decision process. My decision was to not be the most...

Always sorry to hear of injuries to a fellow pilot. Just curious why you choose to catch from behind where there are sensors, which can cause problems at the wrong moment. Wouldn’t you be better off catching facing the drone from the side where there are not any sensors? It took me awhile to...

That may be true some of the time, but in my experience not always. I regularly connect my RC Controller to the Internet and check for updates and have checked the day/time as well. I’ve posted before about a problem with the created date which is displayed in macOS Finder as the day before...

Same scenario for me, shooting a Real Estate listing, shooting video using active track flying sideways across the front of a home. I stopped just before a tree, paused then pressed the joystick to move away from the tree and instead flew into the tree. 100 flights or more and I still need to...

See my response above. Do you not have more than one battery for the Air 2s? I'm with you on getting nervous but more like @ 20%. Having multiple batteries allows me to not worry so much and enjoy the "longer" flight times.

I fly the Air 2s and have 3 fully charged batteries with me always. If my flight time uses up 1 battery, I land, swap out the batteries and resume my flight. Theoretically, I can safely fly for an hour this way. Do you not have more than one battery?

Yes reminders are never redundant. There have been times I’ve driven 10 miles to a shoot only to realize I didn’t have my tripod with me and had to turn around then been late. 😳

I reported this problem as well, last summer, with my Air 2s and N-1 controller. My computer, ipad and iphone dates were all correct, but the wrong date of the day previous persisted. All that responded as well as old posts on the subject were mostly guessing at the cause and DJI wasn’t any...
