    Moving while in Hyperlapse

    Just a follow up, calibrating everything and not launching off my car roof seems to have solved any issues. Not sure if it's related or not but I haven't had the weird leftward motion anymore.

    DJI fly app 1.5.4

    I lost the ability to use spotlight mode when filming in D-LOG, it was always functional before the new app was installed.

    Spotlight Unavailable in D-LOG Mode with latest DJI Fly update.

    I just put on DJI fly 1.5.4 and got the message when I tried using spotlight. It's always worked in D-LOG, that's all I shoot. Wondering why and if they'll fix this.

    Moving while in Hyperlapse

    Yes, the last film taken during the day was perfect. I'm actually wondering if my problems could be related to the Firehouse Arc V strobe I have mounted atop the battery. I'm going to try flying tomorrow during the day with the strobe mounted and turned on to see if it does that leftward...

    Moving while in Hyperlapse

    I thought it may have something related to the compass, I've actually been getting a compass error but that's usually because I launch off the top of my metal car. I will try recalibrating it and also launching off some bare ground. While I'm not happy to see you having this problem also I was...

    Moving while in Hyperlapse

    I'm having a similar problem but only at night it seems. Here's an example, the hyperlapse was set to pan from the left to the right and angle downward but as you can see in the video for the first 1/4 or so it goes the wrong direction and even wobbles around before starting to move correctly...

    Hi everyone, Just got a DJI air 2s. Drone not centered in map view.

    I did contact DJI and the response was to make sure I'm in a clear area for good gps signal. I tried that along with waiting plenty of time to acquire a signal and it didn't improve the behavior. It's not a huge deal but it would be nice if it moved the map along with the drone a little better...

    "outrunning" the map in DJI FLy

    No, it seems to control if the home point or drone is shown in the display. Tapping the smaller map in the middle makes it full screen and then minimizes the camera view.

    "outrunning" the map in DJI FLy

    Here was the official DJI response if anyone is interested... Thank you for contacting DJI Technical support. We appreciate you bringing this up to us. It is recommended to refresh the GPS signal in an open place to have a try. And if the drone flies outside of the map view, you can click on...

    "outrunning" the map in DJI FLy

    Very true. It seems about 15 mph though is where I can still outrun the map update, in the video I made I went faster because I was flying around my home and didn't want to get too far away so at 30 mph is happens faster. I know there's a lag in the video, I've put my drone on the table and...

    "outrunning" the map in DJI FLy

    I put in a request to DJI support, I'll see what they say. What you're saying seems very plausible, I do wonder if it's contingent though on the GPS in the aircraft or perhaps my tablet... I often fly under some shade so I can see the display which potentially blocks some gps signal, maybe I'll...

    Hi everyone, Just got a DJI air 2s. Drone not centered in map view.

    Actually my tablet is not on the list... I don't see really any android tablets officially approved and as you said DJI may be totally unaware so I'll send them a message. It's not a huge problem but even with line of sight it can be extremely useful in populated areas to determine what's...

    Hi everyone, Just got a DJI air 2s. Drone not centered in map view.

    I guess anything is possible but I've installed new versions of fly many times with this same behavior. Otherwise the app runs flawlessly and has never crashed. Perhaps I'll try it with my old Galaxy S7e phone and see if it does the same thing. From the comments it seems this happens to some...

    Map not keeping up in DJI Fly

    Here's a video of what you're experiencing, I get it too with my setup. Air2s, standard controller and a Galaxy Tab S7

    Hi everyone, Just got a DJI air 2s. Drone not centered in map view.

    It does this with my setup too, I'm flying the Air2s with the standard controller and a Samsung Tab S7 which is a higher end tablet. Here's a short video depicting what happens. Someone in another thread suggested putting the "+" on but that did not seem to help.
