    Can you save over-exposed video?

    If the processed image (not RAW) is over-exposed, it is clipped. There is no more data that will come forward if you pull the levels down. Some times careful grading in Resolve can make a blown out house wall look better by isolating whatever contrasty elements there are and tinting the...

    Crashed Mavic pro into a tree now my gimbal is messed up

    *Opens box* *Tosses manual* *Flies for some minutes* *Crashes* *Opens thread on Mavicpilots.com blaming sensors or app* If I had a dollar for every time this timeline happens, I could buy you a new drone.

    Recommendations for Portugal

    I flew around from Faro and a bit up on the west coast for 3 weeks last summer. It hasn't gone on air yet (scheduled to start this Friday) yet so I can't show video, but I've got some stills: Most of these places are around Faro, the red coast with the large desert-ish beach...

    STROBON Cree® LED Strobe Lights

    I've ordered a couple of white ones for night flying (they seem to be out of stock until September 20th). I also bought 2 mounts for front and back leg, but I'm planning to attach one on the back (between DJI logo and the stock LED), and one on the top of the head just in front of the battery. I...

    Bird Strikes Mavic vs Phantom

    They need to air on TV before I can publish anything, but I'll keep it in mind and post here when it has (end of Feb 2018)

    Recording Video Mavic Pro

    That's my point, yes. If you still get disconnected it's at least not the thin cable on the left side. Or are you saying that your phone disconnects while you're in bad cell coverage..? I always turn on Flight mode before take off after loading maps etc, I don't want notifications on my screen...

    Recording Video Mavic Pro

    What phone? Try using another USB cable from the bottom socket on the controller (make sure to UNPLUG the small cable on the left side, leaving this in may cause the other cable not to work properly. ) Close all other apps before connecting.

    A very useful easy 3 step technique to getting your Mavic footage to look polished and filmic

    Nah, I'm pretty familiar with those settings :) I rendered a looot of drone shots this summer day after day on my laptop, so I was quite surpriced to render something on the iMac and just see the thing blast away. I knew there were some very different render times between Final Cut and Premiere...

    Bird Strikes Mavic vs Phantom

    I flew a lot at the coastal line of Portugal this summer, and the birds there are not familiar with drones. My solution was to fly out slowly and just hover in place for some time, letting them fly around and observe it. They tried to scare it away, but as they saw that it didn't behave in an...

    A very useful easy 3 step technique to getting your Mavic footage to look polished and filmic

    Strangely enough I found that my 6 year old iMac renders Neat effects more than three times as fast as my brand new Windows machine (in Premiere). I have no idea why. But I do agree that the Mavic noise profiles for Neat really do make a difference to the footage, especially when you want the...

    First flight - o-S... moment

    I've never had a problem with my S7Edge in the last 100 flights, but my Galaxy tab S fails me over and over. Not in controlled test flights, but everytime I fly for work the app just crashes. I'd prefer the larger AMOLED screen of the tablet, but at least my phone never fails me. Just remember...

    Travel restrictions - do not take your drone to Turkey

    I've flown quite a bit with camera lithium batteries up to 150Wh, and my Mavic, and we always keep them in the cabin according to regulations. There has never been any issue. I cannot imagine they would actually confiscate your drones in Turkey unless you're heading into Syria, and my life...

    Dispelling some myths for clarity

    What you're looking at is marketing strategy. This is how the manufactorers are dividing their products into separate levels, by adding pro features to the high end and narrowing the tube on the other. Remember how OP ordered a Mavic, discovered some limitations, and went on buying a more...
