    RC Pro GPS?

    I would love this feature! I do a lot of my flying from boats and have to constantly update my home position. It is a real pain in the you know what. It also gives a very false sense of battery time remaining before needing to return home as every update changes the time. This is be an amazing...

    Fly App 1.7.5 Android out now

    Well....that is not good then because 1.7.4 was useless for a number of people. The app would crash over and over right after take off. It was 100% unusable. This was on the RC Pro remote for myself. Went back to 1.7.0 and it was perfect again. Any updates from others make the jump yet?

    Landing in a boat

    On a lake with low/no wide and no current you can land on the boat. If you have a drift due to wind of if you are on saltwater with a tide/current running you will always want to hand catch the drone, especially on a boat with a small landing zone/area. It also helps to have someone at the helm...

    Fly App V1.7.4

    Would crash over and over on my RC Pro - caused me to miss a great lightning show before I figured out how to get back to 1.7.0. I have never hesitated updating an app but will from now on with DJI.

    Iphone 14 2,000 Nits

    I bought the RC Pro for the dimming issue on my iPhone and it has been a game changer. I have the 14 Pro on order but I fear that 2k brightness will only last a few minutes in the high noon sun on the water. It will be interesting to see, no pun intended!

    Mavic Air 2 finally bit the dust, literally.

    You can repair/replace, however given the 'odd' take off happened twice it is bound to happen again. I think you need to address what is causing the take off to be 'faulty' or you will be back in this same situation again soon.

    Zoom Question

    Ok....so I know I can't zoom in D-Log, only under Normal, and only under 4k or below, etc. So....If I am recording at 4k @ 30FPS and zoom in using the wheel, what does that do to my resolution? Will it still be 4k or will it be reduced. I'm assuming it is just cropping what is on the sensor...

    Air 2S Active Track crash. Can somebody tell me why? Video attached.

    It is an interesting situation. First off I would never use active track anywhere near obstacles, however, it would be nice if you could set the drone to a height and not have it drop. You can clearly see in this situation the drone dropped altitude a fair bit right when it hit the tree. That...

    H.265 vs H.264 playback at 5.4k?

    Yes, I am and have been using the Studio Drivers. With the new 3060 card I can make a lot of adjustments/changes and it plays smooth.

    H.265 vs H.264 playback at 5.4k?

    I'm running the paid (studio) version. I was with the 1060 and now the 3060. Apples to apples as they say.

    H.265 vs H.264 playback at 5.4k?

    My graphics drivers are and always have been up-to-date with the old 1060 and the new 3060. The 1060 just does not have the power to handle 5.4k files, not any enhancements to lower res files. Not surprising at the 1060 was released about 6 years ago.

    H.265 vs H.264 playback at 5.4k?

    So....I went ahead an upgraded my 6GB 1060 to a 12GB 3060 the other day, and wow, what a huge difference! Even using my 'old' MPP 4k files if I tried to play the video with any noise reduction or sharpening it would be un-watchable in Davinci Studio. Not only can the new 3060 handle the above...

    How to find the MAC address of the RC Pro

    Just note that the RC Pro is set to use a 'Random/Private' MAC address when connecting. It will not be the same every time unless you turn this off. I had the RC Pro on prior firmware as was having major connection issues and the MAC issue was part of it. I went back and forth with DJI and the...

    No low battery warning today!

    No, the generic initial low battery alarm. A while after that alarm then it should do what you mentioned above, neither of which happened today. I have never not received these alarms, and given the distance I was, I should have, especially since I have received them a lot closer.

    No low battery warning today!

    I have flown the MPP for years with the phone and now the 2S with the RC Pro for a few months. I have always received the low battery warning....except for today! I did a quick flight around my house to test a couple video settings out and took off with the drone at 70%, which is the first time...
