    This is how it was Shipped back.

    Thank you for your comment but what was it? Please consider the other contributors who may care to read your "comment". No-one wants to sit through a one-sentence, no punctuation stream of random thought bubbles! Finally and with respect, what has "God" got to do with any of this? This as you...

    iPhone 13 Pro Max

    Ok. In the extremely bright sunlight here in Sydney Australia, there is not a hint of screen dimming under any conditions on the iPhone 12/13 or my with 1500 nit Atomos Inferno monitor/recorder. Maybe one day I'll get to experience this. Thank you for the input regardless. I'll keep an eye out.

    iPhone 13 Pro Max

    FYI, here's a happy person who is currently actually using the iPhone 13 ProMax with the controller and has done so for more almost a week. Never saw a screen going dark using my iPhone 12 ProMax and I'm sure not seeing it now on my iPhone 13 ProMax.

    iPhone 13 Pro Max

    I've had a 13 ProMax for around four days and have been using it to fly my Air2s with the DJI Fly app. The app itself is solid on the new model and is without issues. The screen on the 13 ProMax is appreciably brighter, however my 12 ProMax screen is more than fine, so I'll continue to use it...

    So bummed - no drones allowed on Alaska cruise

    On small expedition ships the rules are hard and fast! I've used DJI drones on South Georgia Island and in Antarctica and the hoops that we had to jump through to gain permission were endless. Months of to & fro for the producers in dealing with the Argentinian government, the Port Authority in...

    2 Pro Sunrise at 1,000 Feet!

    Thank you and really special. Just imagine what the colors up there would have been like had you used the manual camera settings. In auto, all that darkness in the lower half of the frame forces the aperture to open up and blows out the rich colors of the sun and the sky. Regardless, it looked...

    Thank you for those encouraging words.

    2 Zoom Vertical ascent to 2243 meters

    I joined this forum thinking that I could learn from the experienced, successful operators. I have, but as demonstrated by this video, the lonely attention-seeker seems to dominate the discussion. Depressing, so I will quietly fold my props and leave the group.

    Try Googling for passenger "plane". That may help to refine your invaluable research

    2 Zoom Vertical ascent to 2243 meters

    Impressive yes, but put it this way, while being a curious experiment, your little venture does *nothing* whatsoever to make life any easier for we (often) despised recreational drone operators around the world. And honestly, was it really worth disregarding the laws only to show us what appears...

    2nd drone falls out of the sky. DJI run around.

    Understandable frustration Trent2020 but Paragraphs! Grammar! Spelling! Nuts! By all means vent but make it a readable vent!

    Fly app position indicator not working with Smart Controller

    Updated everything but what a convoluted compass implementation - that's if you can find it! May get to like it and at least so far, it seems to work accurately with my SC
