The real problem here, which nobody noted, is DJI's incredibly stupid product naming decision. All this confusion was created by DJI.

Not an aberration or distortion- this is totally normal on RAW files from most cameras. You are seeing the readout from the very edges of the sensor that are usually cropped out when camera creates a JPG. Check your files- the RAW will always be a few pixels larger than the JPG of the same...

Air2s over Little Rock, AR October 14. Best 3 shots from 5 shot AE bracket, Lightroom AI noise reduction.

This is fascinating! My bad clip has a very similar jello effect with a just bit less wobbling. I'll post it this evening. Specular reflections occur everywhere, constantly, anytime the sun is out. Glass, leaves, metal, glossy paint, etc. The big, long reflections like a sunset over water are...

In other parts of the internet, the xReal air 2 Pro and it's companion product, the xReal Beam Pro (pocket sized 3d camera) have taken off like wildfire in the 3D photography community. They're not perfect, but very, very cool and they work.

This is very interesting- I have shot many stationary time-lapse (Air2s) sunsets and never had nearly this problem. In fact I was pleasantly surprised at how well it did. It wanders a bit in high winds, but those are generally small pitch oscillations. Until a few days ago. I shot a short...

That is EXACTLY what DJI did. Their discharge system is slightly better than none at all, but only slightly.

As someone who has been flying electric powered RC models since the late 70's I'll explain- As someone who has been flying electric powered RC aircraft since the late 70's I'll tell you- the DJI battery maintenance system is terrible. It waits much too long to discharge back to storage level...

I was very doubtful of Litchi's claim. Is this firmware change the sort of thing a competent repair center could do? At a reasonable price? We used to hack certain brands of cameras where it was very easy to load custom firmware. I suspect our drones are not like that.

I should have said, "I'm willing to do almost anything short of going to an even tinier sensor."

I've had my Air2S for almost three years now and am astonished to find myself taking more pictures of the sky than of the ground. Turns out the sky is intermittently fascinating here and I love stitching panoramas. Panoramas were the thing that got me started in digital photography way back in...

This an absolutely horrifying plan. You are going to see nothing but the highways of America at very high speed with extremely brief stops at the most crowded spots. I wouldn't worry about where to fly your drone, you won't have time. Cut the total distance in half, cut the stops in half, stay...

If you send this letter as written the result will be that authorities will immediately codify the drone ban and probably extend it and make it more strict. Your letter is extremely hostile and confrontative. Don't you see that?
