Sun Glare

[mrndly]

Hi been test flying the Mavic and I noticed videos captured with the sun in them have colored streaks in them. Is this normal? Is there a camera setting I should be using?

Please post a sample video so we can see what you're describing.

Make a lens hood - it makes a huge difference when shooting on sunny days.

Nice, I was going to cut up the stock shield but this may be a better option.

Do you plan on sharing this on Thingiverse?

i am waiting for something like this appears on ebay

i dont want to cut the supplied cover.

Does anyone try to put a black tape at the upper and side the dome cap instead cutting the front dome out? We know dji recomend us to fly with the dome cap on anyway?

I linked to a stl file to 3d print in this thread.

They can also be found on ebay, link to what I found also in the thread.

Hum, no they haven't. If you do, you could overheat - this topic is elsewhere and DJI eventually answered that, no, you should not fly with the cover '..unless drizzling'. Which would be a bit daft anyway.

Hello. I investigated this problem with many Mavic users and is normal in the Mavic

Thanks it's good to know the camera is working as designed. I'll have to look into a sunshade

I found these on eBay:
Mavic Lens Hood Sun Shade Lens Hood Protective Cover for For DJI Mavic pro | eBay

This one will surely cause gimbal issues:

The first one I think we all have been looking or waiting for. Second on, I would have to agree qit5h you.

Does the price on the first one a bit high? Just curious, as I don't have a 3d printer and don't know the cost ofthings.

Yes, the price seems high for as small as it is. Hell, you can get a tablet holder for almost double and there is a lot more substance there.

 

[SkyHigh Pryo]

I agree with you. Maybe wait and see what else turns up. I think I read the Taco-RC and Dynamic 3D Solutions arw going to make them also. The shipping fee on the EBay I really dont have a problem with as it would come out feom Canada.

Thanks again for your response n flt safe.. [emoji113] [emoji106]

Seems high to me as well, but I wanted to try it so I sprang for one. I'll let you know how it performs when it gets here.

How is the ebay lens hood working out for people? Seen mixed reviews on the ebay link.

 

[Mike_in_Letcombe]

I've just received mine, but the darn weather is awful so can't try it out! Will let you know when (if?) the sun ever comes out again...
