    Cheap used batteries

    Resetting the charge cycles is definitely one of the steps when refurbishing batteries (putting in new LiPo cells)... unfortunately I'm not an expert in the procedure, but it can possibly be done with a cp2112 and the DJI battery killer app, all readily available for anyone. It's like resetting...

    Cheap used batteries

    A sophisticated fraudulent seller will have access to the needed equipment to reset the charge cycles... this alone isn't a reliable sign of a good battery I'm afraid. The most reliable before the buy is instead the seller credibility & return policies... after the buy it's performance testing...

    How fast have you gotten your Mavics to include all series?

    In general, DJI photo drones doesn't draw amps to the same degree as FPV Acro quads... but full stick commands will cause voltage drops even on photo drone batteries & it's worse if both the elevator & the throttle is maxed out at the same time. If the battery is healthy & haven't degraded...

    Fly app and terrain following

    If activating "Use online elevations" in the settings & marking the checkbox "Above ground" on each waypoint... the set height for each waypoint will be above ground right below the waypoint & not relative the takeoff point. This works ok, but what happens between the waypoints is up to you, no...

    Payload and hot engines

    The risk for motor overheating aside... you should also worry about burning out the ESC's.

    Smart controller RM 500

    Hi there & welcome to the forum 👋 DJI only have one RC that they call "Smart Controller"... that's the one with RM500 as a model number. And this one is the only "sceened" controller that's compatible with the DJI Mavic Air 2.

    My First 3rd Party Battery - TOO HOT?

    In general... Higher temperatures = higher internal cell resistance = probably more pronounced voltage drops during load = increased risk of quicker electrolyte decomposition with gassing as a consequence = swelling. This points to inferior LiPo cells... that the total pack doesn't show any...

    mavic 1 pro controller at 2.4ghz

    You shouldn't use a Yagi-Uda intended for 5,8GHz when using 2,4GHz... it will just make the transmission range worse than without. Instead manually set the frequency to 5,8GHz in the settings in the GO4 app.

    Video with ND filter, the result was too dark, my fault

    You turn on the histogram here... Then go for instance here & read up about how to use it --> How to Read a Histogram? Understanding Histograms in Photography The second useful setting to consider turning on, is the overexposure warning... it will show you in the live view on the RC where or...

    Video with ND filter, the result was too dark, my fault

    The auto exposure setting will be averaged to neutral grey... so if the motif is mostly consisting of bright white snow, the auto setting will under expose slightly making the snow grey instead of bright white. In these conditions it's usually necessary to over expose up to 1 stop to get the...

    Air 3s Smart RTH precision landing

    This isn't a requirement for precision RTH at all... only ascending vertically at take-off to a minimum height of 7m before flying out horizontally matters though, & not touching anything besides the throttle at landing also matters. Here from the user manual...

    Exposure lock works on photo mode but not video?

    You should be able to... just tap once on any blank space in the frame to bring up the yellow square, then tap it again to lock the exposure.

    Blurry footage when turning.

    If you read the OP's post you see that he did, together with the same 180 degree shutter angle... but the result was unsurprisingly the same. Lower FPS can certainly contribute to problems with judder and/or excessive blur... but it's far from the only factor.

    Photos always out of focus

    Haven't been for several years now... you need to download it directly from the DJI site & sideload it to your mobile device. Here you have it --> DJI Go 4 - Download Center - DJI

    Blurry footage when turning.

    Read up more about panning speeds vs shutter angels & judder/motion blur here --> Panning Speed Best Practices The panning speeds you show in your clip, is when you rotate CW about 7sec for the full image width & about 3sec when you pan CCW... the first rotation is border lining to be too fast...
