I would recommend sticking to the well known brands such as SanDisk. As @mavic3usa mentions there are a lot of fakes around that not only fail to meet the SD Card standards set by the SD Association but also falsely report their speed and capacity. Video needs a sequential write to storage and...

They look stunning Chris on an 85” 4K screen. Hopefully it’ll encourage a few more of our Japanese friends to visit our amazing country. We showed some of our photos to a number of people we met on our recent trip to Tokyo, Kyoto and Hiroshima and they were surprised. They had the impression...

Just to clarify are you specifying Megabits per second (Mbs) or Megabytes per second (MBs)? SD cards are serial devices requiring a serial transfer so one byte of data requires transfer of each bit individually, one-by-one. The figures quoted in adverts are the maximum sequential Write rates...

Well said. And to add a little context from our part of the world. Australia sells beef to the US because they want it. No one is dumping it on America. It sells because there is a demand for it, it is a very lean meat and is added to every McDonalds beef burger - the very burgers that Mr Trump...

You make a good point there. For many years I’ve been buying electronic components and pre-populated microcontrollers boards from a well known New York based business and each time the enclosed itemised product list bears no resemblance to the actual item prices. The full price still remains...

The tariffs will take effect as soon as the shipments arrive onshore and pass through customs from the date the tariffs are put in place. It shouldn’t have any impact on stock that has already passed customs prior to the tariff taking effect. In the past imported products and those where excise...

The Mavic 2 Pro uses DJI Go4 not DJI Fly.

Broken ribbon cable perhaps?

A lot will depend on what hardware acceleration your setup supports. Are you exporting the files as h.264, h.265 or .mov? Some CPU’s (Apple Silicon included) have hardware acceleration for h.265, which allows playback at high frame/high bitrate. I’m not certain of the hardware playback...

What you are seeing in the Timeline Window in PP is not at the full resolution, it’s interpolated to fit the window resolution, which enables it to playback smoothly more easily. Once exported your media player will try and play it at full frame and full resolution, which, it appears, it cannot...

Your highlights are very over-exposed. I don’t know if your original DNG image is over-exposed or if it was while using Lightroom. Try reducing ‘Highlights’ in Lightroom to see if it will reveal any detail in the over-exposed areas.

Check all blades and make sure the propellors rotate freely and there are no cracks in the body and legs. Check all legs are secure with no play. If all is good. Take-off and just hover a metre or two above ground and check it is stable and all controls are operating normally including the...

When you export from Lightroom, such as a PSD (standard Photoshop file) all your edits are applied to the new file. Any adjustments, colour/contrast/sharpening etc. you made in Lightroom from your original RAW file are preserved as your saw them on screen. Open the PSD file in Photoshop and...

Camera RAW is an acquisition format. Whenever you import a RAW image into Lightroom or Adobe Camera RAW you are taking the data from the imaging sensor with little to no processing. In the Lightroom library you will notice as the images are imported there is a noticeable change in the preview...

Before doing an unnecessary calibration, which can lead to more issues: 1. Does this happen on ALL flights? 2. Have you considered wind strength and direction? There is a lot of turbulence in the air in addition to prop wash effects. Posting the flight log for one of the affected flights to...
