    Who's returning their mavic because of the warm spot?

    No, I'm shooting in DNG which is the raw sensor data. Not compressed jpgs. The issue doesn't happen on compressed files because of on board processing. BTW d log and cinelike do not affect a DNG file, only jpg. Sent from my Galaxy S7 Edge using the MavicPilots app

    I have the hot spot of death :-(

    Those probably not the most extreme examples. I took this image off of my computer yesterday. This is a raw photo, as you can see there is a warm spot in the middle of the entire picture when shooting in RAW under some lighting conditions. This happens more often than not and once you see it...

    Who's returning their mavic because of the warm spot?

    Well it's starting to seem that way! When I first saw a thread on it I'm like huh? That guys crazy... Then I started taking more and more pictures in raw, and then browse the forums, then edit pictures and then I'm like holy ****! There it is! Again, some cases will be more extreme with others...

    Who's returning their mavic because of the warm spot?

    Lol read the statement from dji as far as I know everyone has it according to them and it'd a hardware limitation. May be less or worse depending on conditions and lighting Sent from my Galaxy S7 Edge using the MavicPilots app

    Beautiful pano! But do you not see that red streak going across the top layer of snow in the center of the whole image? Snow shouldn't be red at all Sent from my Galaxy S7 Edge using the MavicPilots app

    Shoot some snow in raw, or trees with no leaves. Would love to see the result. Seems to be very apparent in raw not so much in jpg because on board processing corrects it Sent from my Galaxy S7 Edge using the MavicPilots app

    Who's returning their mavic because of the warm spot?

    Well the caveat with that is that people with the issue have sent it to dji for repair only to recieve the unit back the same or even worse. By that time I'd be way out of my RMA period and be stuck with a product unsatisfactory to me. That's the really crappy part. I also have to say that I got...

    Who's returning their mavic because of the warm spot?

    At least someone feels my pain, it looks worse than mine but if it's there it's there. It really is unfortunate. I plan on sacrificing the portability or a rock solid device like the p4p. I know you can't put them in the same category, but I'd rather pay extra and be satisfied in the long time...

    Who's returning their mavic because of the warm spot?

    While I largely in part agree with what everyone is saying in regards to the mavic being awesome and portable I get it. Drones are in their infancy for sure but camera technology is not. Many would argue that the demand is rushing dji to crank these out, others would say the pushed it entirely...

    Who's returning their mavic because of the warm spot?

    First let me start of by saying that everyone's mavic to some degree has this issue. Dji has already released a statement on it in their forum as to why this happens. It also doesn't happen in every picture or under every lighting condition but unfortunately you don't realize it until you pull...

    Who's returning their mavic because of the warm spot?

    Yeah I shoot in raw and do work on videos in post. The videos aren't bad but the stills in raw are real bad. It's just so weird because it's really close to a cell phone camera. The last cell phone camera that had an issue was the Galaxy s5 I believe with the issue like this. It's 2017 and it...

    Should we all request RMA for Repair

    Honestly what we should all be getting a repair for is the red glow people are getting shooting in RAW. Dji even released a statement as to why it happens but doesn't offer a time line or solution. I spent this money for a photography tool and the tool is flawed. Yes it folds and yes it's super...

    Who's returning their mavic because of the warm spot?

    The warm spot, or hot spot that we all get when shooting in RAW is simply unacceptable. I'm hard pressed to get a phantom 4 pro. Over $1k usd to have a device with an issue? Cell phones can shoot now with super small sensors and not have this "abberition" happen. I want to use this for stills...
