    DJI Battery Booster Android app real or scam?

    Maybe the app could change parameters like max voltage of a charge. From say 4.2v per cell to say 4.3v. That would be all it could do. And even though you would get more life out of battery. The risk of sparking and lighting up the battery would be increased dramatically. The longevity would be...

    Grounded! Pixel 6/6 Pro incompatible with Fly app - Black screen

    Yes that didn't work IO did solve it as I edited my post. BTW this phone is fantastic. Being an apple phone user for many years, but having google home devices I had wanted to move to the pixel before but hesitated purely for apps like these. I'm so glad I only got my phone after the black...

    Why would you disable sideways flight?

    As mentioned above it's because of the lack of side sensors mainly. I'd also add and just as important we don't have side cameras either. So you may be hovering happily with no obstacles. And directly besides you could be a tree branch. No Sensors so you won't hear a beep and no video of it as...

    D-cinelike or not ?? H265 4K 50 fps

    If you Color grade I think there Is value. The dynamic range It’s not like log but definitely wider. for those that do not grade don’t bother. I have a standard lut I just apply if I want a quick grade. It’s a great Color lut applying good range and great Color. I can’t remember which one atm...

    Mavic Air 2 automatic settings in video Pro mode

    No aperture adjustment for Ma2 because it’s a fixed aperture camera. Everything else is manually controlled.

    ND Filter meter App?

    Both you guys are right on ISO however. It’s also important to understand that tis is more important in low light. Darker images reveal more noise. ISO is sensor amplification in a simple sense. A great analogy is say a digital audio recording device with a microphone. If the sounds you are...

    ND Filter meter App?

    I basically frame the shot as per what I think I’ll be shooting, For example, if it’s a top down, then I’ll hold the drone and point camera down having mainly the ground in frame. If I’m doing say a half sky half land I will set it up accordingly. You would also consider am i shooting into...

    ND Filter meter App?

    It’s a good idea. For me - I set my exposure on the ground first. Pointing the Drone in the direction of my shot let’s say. That way I can change filters before I launch, Secondly this hard and fast rule of exactly double shutter speed to frame rate is overstated. All we are trying to do with...

    Video question

    I’m guessing here, Most likely have the h.265 encoding enabled on the drone. You can download the hvec (h.265) codec for your computer and install them. Here - Buy HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer - Microsoft Store Now realise that h.265 video files are highly compressed. They...

    Highest you have flown a MA2? What’s the highest altitude you can take off from?

    That’s awesome! Thanks for the link. Having a quick search the Mavic 2 has the same rated Max ceiling. Ok Maybe the Himalayas would be fun. Put it on the bucket list + launch a drone from the top of Everest lol.

    Highest you have flown a MA2? What’s the highest altitude you can take off from?

    Brilliant! Thanks for the Great comments I wondered this question whilst watching a documentary on Sherpa’s on Mt. Everest actually. I wondered about whether you could get Ma2 drone footage up there. Might have to book a ticket to a 5000m mountain range.
