Night time video filming

[Rabber]

I noticed on my Mavic 2 there are only options for frame rate. No Iso. Is the Mav 2 capable of night cityscape type video's?

Watch out for position holding, if low down it is likely to be not as good as day time flying. That was the start of an expensive crash for me. A knee jerk reaction to drift put it into a tree and a nice drop

The Mavic 2 has a Video ISO range of 100-6400 for the Pro, 100-3200 for the Zoom. See the specifications section of the owners manual under "Camera". If you can't find ISO video settings in DJI Go 4, that just means that it's using the ISO you have set elsewhere (for Photo, or it's a global setting, I forget which and don't have the app near me now).

Yes, when you fly at night, your object avoidance sensors are no longer as reliable and at some point, they will turn off. Unless you somehow turned off the audio of the DJI Go 4 app, you will have had an audible warning when it goes LOW and another warning when it goes OFF. When you fly at night with no object avoidance sensors, you have to be much more careful because a) your line-of-sight vision is impaired and b) so is your FPV (video in the controller app)..

You will also lose the VPS system (ground sensor) in darkness. If you have full GPS lock, you should have position holding. But if you lose GPS lock and drift, you will be flying in ATTI (which the controller will also audibly warn you about), so drift will happen, a dangerous thing at night.

So I don't see any iso settings for the 2 (not pro) Does the 2 not have iso settings?

You're asking this in the Mavic 2 Pro forum area. If you have a Mavic 2, it is either a Pro, Zoom, or Enterprise. They all have ISO settings.

If you have a Mavic Air 2, you are in the wrong forum.
