I see many people read a bit too much into the setting names and numbers, leading to incorrect assumptions on how the settings affect the image and what the optimal settings are. 1. "Sharpness" on DJI Phantoms and Mavics is actually "Sharpness + Noise reduction". It changes both digital...

I have a fast computer that can edit 4k pretty well. But it's even smoother to work with using proxies. Proxies also makes "4k editing" on pretty much any computer that can handle 720p. While editing you can work and edit with recoded 720p files, and when you're done you only do the final render...

In the thread you are referring to, the first warning was actually "Motor overloaded". Parts might be damaged before the AC even took off, causing voltage fluctuation and failure. We don't know, you just assume everything was perfectly healthy. Of all the many components that can fail inside the...

I'm not saying there is no truth to it, but the danger is exagerated on this forum IMO. Take it with a grain of salt. I fully understand the concept of the % reading being only a guesstimate, but the battery is actively and continuously monitored by its own internal electronics. After many...

Are you testing a new version of beta firmware?

Here's an excellent explanation of the settings. Setting 0.35 allows for much smoother fine movements but you can still fly as fast as usual too.

Yeah if the winds were that strong I wouldn't take off either, but it was simply not that windy when I started 5 minutes earlier. You can even see it in less movement in the trees going up in the clip, it's pretty windy but not that bad, but then things suddenly takes a turn for the worse just...

DJI really should tweak the threshold of High Wind warnings. I'm still on the previous Phantom 4 firmware version and I never get any wind warning. Yesterday I flew in some pretty strong winds (for once) but the AC seemed very stable at low altitude. But at higher altitude I noticed that it...

I don't shoot video in 1080 for the same reason I don't take pictures in 1080. :)

I just ordered the new Gear VR 2017 to test with my Phantom 4 and Litchi. I have not found much info online how well it works with that exact setup but here we go. I'll make a short review next week, unless I forget to.

Yeah I'd also say something like this. Experience from hours alone is a lot about where and how you fly. Let's be honest, cruising around with a Phantom or Mavic 100m up taking a few photos and videos here and there, does not take much skill. After some flights you're good enough and it's...

I'm still waiting for the Anti Horizon Tilt feature :D

Lagkorrigeringen är inte klubbad än men det ser lovande ut. Regeringen gick vidare med förslaget till nästa steg trots att foliehattarna på Datainspektionen var emot det i sitt remissvar. Det har varit en både absurd och ologisk lag. Jag VET att jag inte kränker någon med mitt flygande, men jag...

I used to have a less advanced drone that became very unstable when descending straight down at max speed. My Phantom 4 seems to handle it but I still hate that wooshing sound from all the turbulence, to me it's the sound of a drone falling to the ground like a leaf. :D Feels better to descend...

Well it's certainly something to think about, interesting topic on the matter of practically giving away your photos for free. There are a lot of good and valid points. On the other hand, one could argue that the same thing could be said about the worktime as "customer support" given on this...
