    First impressions after a few weeks.

    Thanks for the comprehensive review Could anyone comment as to whether the M3 Pro is definitely a better option from purely an IQ pov over it's main <250g competitor, the Autel Evo Nano Plus ?

    SDK & improved imaging

    The beta version of Litchi does offer the choice of the number of exposures in the group and I think you are supposed to be able to vary the difference between them but in my installation it doesn't. To make matters worse I am unable to select DNG just jpegs. I'm using a tablet and a long USB...

    SDK & improved imaging

    My use of the camera is probably a bit unusual in that it is 90% still images and 10% video and I use bracketing almost always. The main reason is that I do a lot of flying over coastal areas where you usually have three distinct elements in the shot each ideally requiring different exposure...

    SDK & improved imaging

    Thanks for the reply slup :) I wasn't expecting that DJI themselves would enhance the camera performance but wondering if the kit enabled third parties to do so. Taking bracketing as an example, the number of individual exposures in the group is presumably set in the software of the app rather...

    SDK & improved imaging

    Does anyone know whether the SDK release will enable improvements in either still or video captures? I am largely ignorant of the technology involved in video but I seem to recall that DJI had it in their power to have the camera take footage that could be processed in post using colour...

    Basic CPL Filter question

    Hello I just can't get my head round cpl filters. I am used to using these filters on my dSLR and I rotate them until the sun in the shot is at 90 degrees to the lens to get the sweet spot and full effect. I am now faced with a dilemma because I want to get one for my Mini 2 as I do a lot of...

    Roll back to previous version?

    You can get a copy of the app off an Android device without having root access. If you search on the playstore for 'apk extractor' and choose one. I cannot recommend any specific app but on a few occasions I've just installed one that looked good and had positive reviews from users who sound...

    How high have you been with your Mini 2?

    I for one am very pleased I found this thread and it has made me change my mind in a way. When I first flew a drone I can hardly remember much debate about the risks from flying high, in fact IIRC most threads either consisted of people discussing their personal altitude records or things like...

    Handle for hand catching off boat

    I wholeheartedly concur with the comments about landing with the Mini2 facing away from you. I learnt that lesson shortly after building a model electric helicopter. This did have a gyro which stopped the tail rotating around the main rotor but that was the only pilot aid. Before you could even...

    If Mini 2 SDK support isn't released soon, it may be too late to matter

    That's good news for a lot of us though. At least we have firm confirmation that it is in the pipeline.

    DJI Mini 2 vs Hubsan Mini Pro

    Apols for keeping this o/t but referring to the Triplek screen which I have been considering - do you have any problems with the weight ? I have been using a 10" tablet with a ball head style tablet mount. It weighs just under half a kilo which is under half the weight of the Triplek but I find...

    Number of AEB exposures

    That is what I understood so I was very surprised when it suddenly delivered four !

    Number of AEB exposures

    I have taken a few AEB exposures and as I fly a lot over sea they have turned out to be invaluable as it is near impossible to get good exposures for land, sea & sky. However up untill a few minutes ago I have always got 3 exposures but messing around on the kitchen table the Mini 2 took 4 ...

    If Mini 2 SDK support isn't released soon, it may be too late to matter

    FWIW, as a new Mini 2 owner I've been trying to climb the learning curve and have watched loads of youtube videos on various aspects from flying techniques to how to get the best out of the camera and out of the hundreds of comments I read I don't think I can remember a single person who was...

    Handle for hand catching off boat

    I've flown my Mini 2 from our boat several dozen times but I only got it the day before we set off on our last two week cruise. I use one of those pop out round helipad things which I have managed to wedge down in the cockpit under the level of the coamings. So far I've managed to land it on...
