As you may know I have been beating my drum for months, as have many of us, on the issue of how slow the M3 can fly compared to the M2P, i.e..... not very slow at all! This has been a real issue for pros especially where we need really fine control for all sorts of reasons, often when working close up to objects whatever they might be. For example, today I was shooting a National Geographic channel show about an iconic train that required me to go really slowly around a statue at a rail station, no matter how hard I tried the aircraft would simply stall to a stop before it got slow "enough" for the shot. Another issue is that I was required to get a shot of the train re-fuelling which is difficult as I am not allowed within 30 metres of people on my license. This would have been perfect for the 7 X optical but as it only shoots in 30P and not in the 25P required by the production I couldn't use it at all, but more on that in a minute. Today, this came from DJI Support: "Thanks for your patience Chris, We really appreciate the time and efforts you have invested in providing these suggestions and ideas to us. We have discussed this with our senior engineers and we are glad to tell you that we have planned to add more advanced parameter adjustments(Including the Speed in different modes)on DJI Fly via app updates so as to meet the professional and personalized needs of more users. And it is expected to be realized quite soon if our testing and validation go smoothly." But then hours later more promising news on 7 X @25P (and possibly 50P): "Please do not worry, we have cascaded this issue to our senior-level before and we have now decided to deep-diving into this topic with our concerned team based on the examples that you have given. We will get back to you as soon as possible when we got any updates." If Sundays are for prayers answered, that's what a lot of us have! |
