    Getting a '3/4' tracking shot / horizontal tilting?

    Hello I have just bought a Mavic Air, I have flown it a bit, and see it can tilt up and down, but is it possible to tilt just the camera horizontally, to get a 3/4 shot? At the moment, when I turn it, the whole unit turns, changing the flight path to match the turn, I want the same flight path...

    Gimbal and Camera control lost midflight

    Hi, I have a DJI Mavic Pro. Recently I have started facing an issue with the gimbal and the camera. While flying I am losing the control of the gimbal and camera control. This is an intermittent issue. Using the dial I cannot control the gimbal. Also the details of the camera aperture, shutter...

    Are your Mavic Air Videos Sharp or Blurry?

    I'm a potential Mavic Air owner, very interested for when the P4P is too large to lug around. I've got a problem with my P4Pro Obsidian sharpness settings when recording 1080p video. They're all the same and I'm hoping the Mavic Air doesn't have a similar problem. The jury is out on whether...

    Mavic Air - Lens distortion (creating awareness!)

    Hi all, In another thread, a group of Mavic Air users including me found out that the lens on the Mavic Air has some pretty severe distortion when shooting in JPEG or shooting video's. Some examples: YouTube - You can clearly see the 'waving'/'warping' distortion during panning on the roof...

    What are these lines in my video?

    I think these might be shadows of the propellers on the camera? They went away when I changed direction away from the sun. Do we need some kind of lens hood for the camera? 15 second long 4k video. 56 MB. Prop Shadow.mp4

    Gimbal and Camera Issues

    So I just replaced my vibration plate (broken rubber band) and camera with gimbal (broken camera/strip). After installing both the new parts, I took it out to try it out. Immediately I noticed a few issues: The camera was at about a 35 to 45 degree angle, but after I recalibrated the gimbal it...

    GoPro Hero 6 vs Mavic Pro - Camera compare

    I have a problem with determining the image quality from both cameras. In my opinion, the picture is the same, which results from the size of the sensors and the use of 4K. The problem is that GoPro uses wide-screen mode and Mavic does not. GoPro pushes 4K at 160 degrees or uses digital zoom to...

    Infinity Focus is blur

    Hi all, I was looking around about what manual infinity focus looks like by default on Mavic? In mine it's total blur when on infinity and the horizon get in focus around the middle of the focus slider, is that normal? I've tried to fix that by calibrating camera gimbal and IMU but there's no...

    Huawei P10+ or OnePlus 5T/5

    Hi guys, I´m about to buy a new phone for my Mavic, cause my old Samsung A3 does not work with it. I was thinking about Huawei P10+ or OnePlus 5T or just 5. Each has a good 6GB RAM (or even 8GB with the OnePlus) which I think should be enough..but I´m really scared it won´t work with the drone...

    Camera not working with DroneDeploy.

    Here is a strange problem for anyone who might be able to help. I downloaded the DD app. Started the Mavic, started the DJI app, checked for any issues, after no issues I closed the DJI app. Started the DD app and all went well but the Camera box stayed unchecked. Went back to my DJI app and now...

    Gimbal / Camera Reset Mid Flight (Screen Record)

    I have been flying the Mavic exactly a year now. Never had any major issues until just recently. The gimbal camera reset issue I have noticed a lot of people with the same issue and hope that there is a solution already or one not far away. My DJI Mavic Pro on almost every flight now has a...

    Image wrong focus (?)

    Hello, fellow Mavic pilots! Let me start by saying I have read multiple posts about setting camera focus and experimented with different settings; long back I made the decision not to use manual but instead go with autofocus. Also, I opted out of continuous autofocus and rather focus "once", by...

    Mavic Camera

    Hi, I have a few quick questions. 1.) Is there any way the Mavic's arms will fold back during flight? My arm on the left feels slightly less tight than the right arm and I am worried it may fold back in sport mode or doing sharp turns. 2.) While flying fast and turning, my camera gets pretty...

    Photos taken when SD card removed.

    I took a few photos (nothing important) with the microSD card removed from the Mavic. I expected that since the photos were normally copied to the phone (albeit in lower resolution), that they would be there even when the SD card was not installed. I was fortunate to learn (when the photos were...

    Camera Control Help

    I have a very basic question. I have the Mavic Pro. I’m looking for a video tutorial on how to control the camera with the base unit. I can get it to tilt up and down but can’t get it to pan left and right. This is very basic I know. I’ve found a million videos on the camera control “settings”...
