    US Army calls for ban on DJI equipment over security concerns

    Why is anyone surprised that the Chinese is harvesting data from all their mole drones operating all over the world? Furthermore, I am appalled that the FAA here in US allows China to monitor, manage, control and obstruct legal drone operation. I do realize that our loss of privacy is...

    Gimbal range and status on DJI Go app

    I am running 3.0 on my iPhone and iPad also, I remember seeing Gimbal status - Normal when I was running 2.9.2. Is anyone else seeing nothing for Gimbal status with 3.0 in iOS or other devices ? Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    Gimbal range and status on DJI Go app

    Thanks rockydog, I did do a gimbal calibration but line still blank. Should I try an IMU calibration then recalibrate the gimbal ? Connected the P4 to a another device ( an iPad ) but gimbal status also shows blank. Checked wires and seems to work and move ok. Sent from my iPad using...

    Gimbal range and status on DJI Go app

    Thanks rockydog. That's what I thought. Was doing some low level flight practice and tried to move camera angle up more and ran into the limiter. The gimbal seems to work fine and ran a calibration, but in the DJI Go app, under aircraft status, the Gimbal line is blank, where I thought before...

    Gimbal range and status on DJI Go app

    When testing out the vertical up range of the gimbal / camera, I noticed that in the app, the dots range scale reading go all way down to straight down view, but stop at about 75-80% on the scale when moving upwards. I realize that the props may be in camera's view if panning up too much, but...

    32 ND filter for Phantom 4?

    G Mack and all, thanks for the great info. I am thinking of ordering the Polar Pro Cinema Shutter series, which are ND16, 32 and 64. Plus if you order from them, and contact their rep here in the forums, he'll add the gimbal guard to the order that fits the camera with filter on. Sent from my...

    Are ND Filters Worthwhile Considering the Limitations ?

    Thanks Richard. I often have to shoot still and motion on same flight, so that kinda eliminates the ND unless wanna do separate flights. From the tests flights I've run, the video quality without the ND adequate for web uses with some further image processing, but still would like to test the...

    Are ND Filters Worthwhile Considering the Limitations ?

    I understand the need to have a better cinematic image quality by going manual exposure and adding a ND filter , but it seems to me that the only adjustable parameters are ISO and shutter speeds. If I want to shoot at 1/60 for 30fps, if I have figured the correct ND filter, then my only...
