    Air 2 SD slot problem

    Sounds crude but consider Melvoid's fix . Buy a 256 SanDisk card and wedge it in with a piece of paper or toothpick. then take some test shots on the ground, If that works just glue it in with some epoxy and you will have a permanent 256 internal storage. Getting the slot fixed would likely...

    Editing my drone videos

    Filmora has good reviews, and would likely be a good choice. The computer does make a difference but not that much. I upgraded my HP with a NV Me M.2, 500 gb drive which does give faster processing. I shoot my drone video in log (except the MIni 2, )4K-30 or 60, but usually output in 1080 since...

    Editing my drone videos

    I got back into video editing when I started flying in 21 (I use to edit video tape in the last century). I tried many different free software packages as well as a few cheap ones, Shotcut, Videopad, and others. All of them had some basic limitation . I bit the bullet and downloaded DaVinci and...

    Who makes the best battery for Air S2

    The swelling can be an issue, usually caused by storage with too much charge. I learned the hard way, but now store my batteries with two flashing lights. and check regularly. Also only use the recommended DJI Charger. I purchased a couple of reconditioned DJI batteries from a DJI vendor on e...

    How to fix juddering

    I have a few commercial accounts that post the videos on Facebook to show building progress, or real estate. I edit in DaVinci via proxy files. My commercial Drone is an Air 2S. My customers have never complained about the quality. I never noticed Juttering until early this year when I decided...

    Are you a keeper or an upgrader?

    The condition is "Gear Aquisition Syndrome" . Many photographers suffer from this . When digital cameras were introduced, I would upgrade every other model until the technology became fairly stable. My last new camera was in 2017. Nothing produced since will make me a better photographer. I...

    My Drone Journey

    Thanks for the input on the recurrent. I was aware that it was are virtually an open book test (Remember them) I really appreciate all of the greetings and suggestions. I'm not sure how long the drone "Hobby" will be a viable venture for most people. Unfortunately, enough non flyers have a...

    My Drone Journey

    Great to hear from all of you, Flying more and getting better. I hope to post from Iceland, South Africa, France, the UK and Egypt. Been spending time looking at the doo's and don'ts from each country. Most are more liberal than the US especially with sub-250 gram.

    My Drone Journey

    As a member of the Delaware Photography Society, I was introduced to drone photography around 2015 by a member who was an early adopter. But though he piqued my interest it was not enough to make the substantial investment in the new technology. In 2017 while traveling the country, full timing...

    Where to Sell My Mini 2?

    John and I did the deal. Everything was as described, and the drone worked flawlessly. After a few hours on my Air 2 s charger using the USB output, ,all batteries were fully charged. None had more than 6 cycles. I couldn't get them past 75% with the included charger, probably due to lack of use...

    Air 2S seems to have optical problems

    Software I use is : DXO Photolab 6 and Photoshop CS6 (Camera Raw) I have an aversion to subscription software, (but that's just me)

    Air 2S seems to have optical problems

    Late to the conversation, but most of the comments are right on . I do some commercial progress photos and the wide angle effect is obvious . I call it edge droop. My previous Air 2 wasn't as wide but still had the effect to some extent . the key is to crop the extreme edges of your image...
