    Can't seem to record at 1080i at 60fps

    It does 1080p at 30fps or 1080i at 60fps. Well it's supposed too. It has the setting in the app, plus it's listed in the camera spec.

    Can't seem to record at 1080i at 60fps

    I took two clips. One I set the camera for 1080i @ 60fps and one for 720p @ 60fps. I put both into Premiere, checked each files properties, the 1080i is still 30fps. The 720p shot is definitely 60fps, you can feel the smoothness. Is there something i'm missing? I'm recording on a SanDisk extreme...

    Can't seem to record at 1080i at 60fps

    Usually I record 1080p at 30fps. Today I wanted to try the 1080i at 60fps. I set the dial to that setting, recorded some footage, but after I pulled the files off the card, it off it shows the video is still at 30fps. 720p at 60fps works fine, shows up as 60. Is this something to do with the "i"...

    Where to find part: DJI-PTM24 (7th Ch. Lever)

    Thanks so much! But yeah, according to Simon N's YT, it's a Dji confirmed "rumor" that they'll be activating the 7th Channel on the 2V+ in the next firmware update. I just want to have one on hand if/when it get's re-activated. And $10 isn't a big deal in case they don't for some reason.

    Women Attacks Quadcopter pilot on Hammonasset Beach.

    It has hit the CT News. The woman says he edited or manipulated the footage to make it seem that He assaulted Her first, which clearly isn't the case. There are no cuts or edits, just subtitles added by a third party news organization. I don't wish her any misfortune but I feel this situation...

    Women Attacks Quadcopter pilot on Hammonasset Beach.

    I would have tried to explain what I was doing to the woman, and try to answer her concerns. I felt this should be put here as I'm sure it'll be making the news soon. As always, if ANYONE has an issue with your flying in a public area, Try to explain and answer their concerns. If they are angry...

    My God. I didn't crash!

    First flight of my P2V+ was a total success! Normally I would post this kind of thing, but with all the negativity lately I thought any new users should see, if your careful, calibrated, and calm...you CAN fly succesfully. Best of luck to any new owners, or any future owners! Get positive...
