    Best way to stitch a panoramic from RAW files.

    I open all the panorama raw files for each image in Adobe Camera Raw. I make adjustments to one image and then right click on that image and choose "select all." I then right click again on the same image (while all are still selected) and choose "sync settings." It applies the settings from the...

    Smart Remote Controller or Basic Controller / Fly More Combo

    I bought the smart controller after buying the MA2 and then later the M2P. I am so sorry that I didn't buy it with one of the packages. I love using it. I have used a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and an Ipad Air 2019 to fly with and prefer the smart controller over both.

    Filters for photos

    I shot this photo with a MA2 using a ND9 filter with a lens opening of f2.8, an ISO of 100 and a shutter speed of 3 seconds. It was shot just as the sun came over the horizon. I use ND filters for these type of shots and when I want to shoot light trails just before dawn and just after dusk.

    Cellular data requirement when using a tablet with the MA2?

    You can also turn your phone into a mobile hot spot so that your tablet automatically connects and you will have maps. I do that with my smart controller and it works great.

    New Mav 2 pro smart controller issue

    Have you tried resetting the controller to factory settings and then updating using the DJI Assistant 2? I upgraded my controller to the DJI Fly App 1.2.0 (I have both the MA2 and the M2P) and ended up with a blank screen. That Fly App version is not compatible with the DC. I tried going...

    USB chargers for Air 2

    You could look into a USB to 12volt adapter and use the car charger.

    Best way to stitch a panoramic from RAW files.

    Here is how I do panoramas. I let the drone shoot the panorama in its built-in mode. I make sure that I am saving the raw files from the panorama. I import the panorama files so each panorama has its own folder. If you import with Adobe Bridge, it will remove the files from the folders and then...

    SD card cannot be read by Windows 10, but it works OK in the drone

    I had this issue and the reason that it happened is that I did not allow the drone to finish processing a long hyperlapse before turning off the drone. I reconnected the drone to the controller and opened up the app, went into the playback area and allowed the file to finish processing and then...

    Definitely in "follow mode."

    Level Horizon Issues

    Does anyone have issues with their MA2 not keeping a level horizon? I often have to manually adjust the gimball while in the air so that my horizon stays level. I have done auto adjustment on a level surface but it doesn't seem to hold for very long. It happens in both video and photo modes.

    Mavic Air 2 Floatation Device.

    I purchased those floats and tried them once. There was a little breeze and the MA2 was all over the place. I never used them again.

    File Numbering

    When I first started flying my MA2, I would leave a file on the card with the last file number on it. It would continue to number the new files based on that file. Then I read that if I deleted all the files and not format the card, it would continue to number upwards from the last file number...
