    Any EDIUS 8 users here???

    Hi, interesting to hear you are having similar problems to me. Cant understand why only DJI Phantom 4 Pro files dont play smoothly. Even higher bit rate Panasonic files play without any problems. Did you find a solution to this issue? Grass Valley werent much help.

    Uh Oh........Im getting def. less range than the mavic pro.

    Sometimes it is hard to get close to the scenery you want to video or photograph, the extra range is then useful but you still have limited time because of the battery life. I only fly these distances in remote areas, my max distance at this stage is 3.7km or 12 300 feet. At this distance you...

    I assume you are using a Phantom 4 pro and that you have switched on video captions in the DJIGo app? If you then play the file in VLC the subtitle option is accessible with english.

    Err not quite sure what you mean, occusynch doesnt change the resolution of the recorded video, still 4K.

    Yes you need to go into the VLC menu and enable subtitles.

    4K videos

    I agree about the codec DJI uses, if I play Panasonic 100mbs, 4K video files on my fast windows computer using Edius 8 Pro no problem. Even DJI 4K, 100mbs, 25 fps is ok but the new 4K, 100mbs, 50fps cause slight jerkiness on play back. VLC cant handle it either, funnily the windows 10 media...

    New firmware for Phantom 4 Pro (16/12/09)!

    Fixed the problem. When I installed the Assistant 2 v 1.08 windows defender blocked the installation of one module in this software. I reinstalled Assistant 2 and forced defender to accept installation of the module ( I think it was a usb protocol) after this the update proceeded as normal and I...

    Firmware Update

    Neither of these work for me, with the Assistant it fails at 15% every time with the DJI GO 4 it seems to download the update firmware but nothing then happens when I connect the Phantom 4 Pro. Is there any visual indication on the Phantom or the built in monitor thst it updating? Is there a...

App is version 4, system version 1.1.0.7 model number GL300E. It tells me to got to the DJI GO 4 homepage. The need to update warning seems to...

    An oldie but goodie

    There are lots of new and exciting quadcopters from DJI, I have the Mavic Pro and ordered the Phantom 4 Pro + but the tried and tested Phantom 3 Pro still has a place in the sky.

    DJI file size

    Does anyone know if DJI have fixed their file size problem? The Phantoms produce a series of files after about 9minutes of flight. The other drones also create new files but they do not loose 10-15 frames beteen files. If you try to join files that were shot continuosly with a DJI product, you...

    Mavic Release Discussion

    A couple of issues still to be resolved. Does the Mavic allow video shooting un interrupted, without losing frames after about 9 min in 4K? The GoPro5 on the Karma, although it splits files, does not lose frames between splits. A comparative video on YouTube between Phantom 4 and Mavica shows...

    Visual quality using FPV goggles

    I am keen to use FPV goggles to fly missions requiring more precise control re difficult locations. My Ipad air 2 is good but even with a sun hood lacks enough contrast in certain lighting conditions because of ambient light levels. I have purchased some cheap vr googgles and used a Samsung Note...
