    48mp is bad

    Here are several HDR stacking traditional software packages: https://expertphotography.com/free-hdr-software/ And for Astro-specific: https://astrobackyard.com/astrophotography-image-stacking-software/ Great example in that second link of a high ISO DSLR single shot vs stacked…

    48mp is bad

    Just be careful of condensation on cold surfaces, especially if flying through salt water fog. The sensor will not stay cold for very long, as it is tiny with lots of air flow. But higher ISO may look a little better. If I wasn’t so lazy, it would be pretty cool to see a comparison of hot vs...

    48mp is bad

    On a Mini 3 Pro, the shots at 48MP on a bright day are more detailed than 12MP shots. One thing to note is that the 48MP sensor has quad or four pixels covered by the same color filter R,G, or Blue for better HDR and binning purposes, so the color in a 48MP shot will contain more “guesses” to...

    Bad news to everyone, RID was already active in 01.00.0800 firmware and the drone appears in OpenDroneID app.

    FYI there is an Android developer option to push the output from a GPS App such as Trimble to all other apps as if the GNSS came from Android. If one were to make or find an Android app that sends simulated GNSS data and flick the eevkooed option check box to use that simulated Sat to all other...

    You are awesome for testing this and thank you! I wonder if RFID engages automatically when you place the long-range battery 250g+) in a Mini-3 Pro and RFID becomes optional with the standard battery at 249 grams?

    What I would like to see from DJI

    Don’t release a drone with the word “Pro” that has limitations or cannot be used for professional work. Explicitly state all limitations in the specification sheets. If a Mini 3 Pro can’t shoot AEB at 48MP, then state that clearly! Don’t say 48MP single mode and HDR supported. Allow full...

    Mini 3 Pro Altitude Restriction

    Sometimes you have to push a little bit harder Contact a few of the DJI flyers in India and ask them where they procured their drone, which country and even a part number, to find out if it’s the US version, Asia, or EU version, etc. Ask DJI support to supply you with a link to the supposed...

    Remote ID update

    This is not for air safety. It’s a tool for law enforcement to find and harass the owner, fine them , or confiscate their equipment for a perceived threat to “fill in the blank”. When FAA hands over enforcement to any law officer, they are doing a disservice to the drone pilots who are law...

    Mini 3 Pro / My intial observations

    You may be better at packing, or something I missed. The internal soft dividers seem all wrong to me. Please feel free to post a photos of your layout with the mini3 with blades safely protected and with all accessories in the bag. I loved the mini-1 semi-hard shell case and the mini3 soft...

    I will NEVER order from DJI again.

    Similar issue here. Pre-ordered the Mini3 with normal controller (non RC version). For two months the more expensive DJI RC version showed as the only mini3 as in-stock and suddenly the DJI site showed the alternate older controller + Mini3 combo as in-stock. Out of curiosity, I started to...

    Golden Ticket [Edited by Admin]

    These are the same shenanigans as the old DJI club or whatever they called it, wherein one paid around $40 or $50 per year for a discount at the store that was like 15% some accessory or phone shield garbage items. If I had saved that money, it could have been spent on something more useful...

    Mini 3 Pro / My intial observations

    The fly more bag sucks compared to past DJI cases and bags. It does not easily fit the controller, mini3, filters, and two batteries and charger without some plastic part touching and puting pressure on the props of the mini3 or crushing the mini3 through the padding, which is a big no-no when...

    Who makes the chips for DJI Drones?

    I miss the old Pixhawk Devlopment team before they went commercial only. It was fairly close to the DJI Naza controller in terms of UAV stabiiity and offered vastly more tweaking in Ardupilot. Proper setup was a pain though and they were just starting to implement auto-tuning when stopped by...

    What’s going on? - Mini3 secretly spied on me

    The was no RTH activated. The Mini3 Pro was controllable for the entire flight. The unauthorized 15-30 second video recording (while the Mini3 was still in photo only mode) at the end of the flight was outside of my control, and a GPS dot was placed on the DJI Fly map with a link to the...

    What’s going on? - Mini3 secretly spied on me

    No, I flew it back to the launch location. Given that 99% of pilots fly from within 10m of where they launch, it will capture you, and anyone nearby in the video frame. The Mini3 was controllable the entire flight.
