    Mini 2 Effective field of view in different modes?

    Nothing to apologise for. I only mentioned the numbers, not the method I used to get them.

    Then we are up the same Gum Tree. That is exactly the method I used for my numbers above.

    Mini 2 Effective field of view in different modes?

    CORRECTION.. I was wrong! The GPS values stored in the EXIF data in the images is precise. I was incorrectly using a tool to read them. I was using the (very capable) 'ExifTool' from Phil Harvey which by default reports GPS locations to 2 decimals of seconds. If I had only read the...

    Mini 2 Effective field of view in different modes?

    Yes. It allows one (to some degree) to map an image (live, photo or video) to the real world, be that for image recognition, tracking, measuring, simulating, etc. -There are a number of discussions in these groups about knowing FOV so simulated flights with google earth/streetview can match...

    Mini 2 Effective field of view in different modes?

    I have only just realised that the GPS values may be correct, but they are not very precise. I was just doing some tests to check the Yaw values by rotating the Mini 2 around me. But I have found I was not moving the drone far enough to change the GPS location values. I have just looking...

    Thank you eaglesurfing. The question may well get heavier.

    Tibzee, Thanks for letting me know about the unreliable information in the EXIF. Do you happen to know if the GPS and yaw values have been accurate in DJI EXIF data you have looked at previously? I have measured the field of view within an image (all be it not very accurately yet) to...

    Mini 2 Effective field of view in different modes?

    Partial answer to my own question. I have been digging through the EXIF data of a few image files (with the use of "exiftool") and have discovered the Field of View is recorded. For the 4000x2250 pictures I am looking at exiftool reports " Field Of View : 73.7 deg" also of...

    Mini 2 Effective field of view in different modes?

    Hello group, first time poster. Does anyone happen to have information on (actually in-image) field of view (FOV) for the video and photo modes of the Mini 2? I know this has been partially answered elsewhere, at least for the Mavic Pro and P2P. What I am really looking for is FOV in the...
