    Mini 4 Pro losing video quality when zooming

    When you zoom like that, which is a digital zoom, the video is just being cropped in, so the more you zoom, the less resolution you have. The physical lens on the drone isn’t zooming, it’s just a crop. It is totally normal and not an issue. Here is a quick explanation on YouTube.

    Never bought from B&H Photo... should i?

    B&H Photo Video, similar to Adorama Camera, is a New York City based retailer that started out selling camera gear and over time expanded to other electronics. They both have brick & mortar stores in NYC. They are reputable and have been in business for decades. I have purchased thousands of...

    NEW LAW IN MEXICO AS OF OCTOBER 2023

    Not to say cartels run Mexico, but anyone who thinks the cartels do not have power, authority, and influence in most facets of the Mexican government and that the government isn’t actively cooperating with them in many aspects is plain ignorance. And no, it is not something a typical tourist...

    Get stable long exposures

    Another thing you can try, which is a long-time photography technique called long exposure stacking, is to take multiple shorter exposures and then align and combine them in post to achieve your longer exposure look. It will look and feel very similar to an actual long exposure. The downside to...

    Product family speculation

    They do not post this data for previous drones as far as I have been able to find, but in the Support pages of their latest camera drones, Mavic 3 Pro, the Air 3, and the Mini 4 Pro, in the Others option of the Specs section, DJI states guaranteed software updates for these drones until December...

    2 or 3t for tracking

    And also, it says nothing about after the deer is dead. So in my opinion, this law is meant to prohibit it as a hunting aid and does not apply to situations after the deer has been hunted and killed. Unless “take” also applies to taking possession of the deer after is has been hunted and killed.

    Free grid mission planner

    The YouTube video in the thread you linked goes step by step on how to put the generated KMZ into the different types of controllers. It’s right in the video and it is very detailed and step by step including the location of the specific folder for the waypoints inside the smartphone and the...

    You mean the Air 3 or the Mavic 3 Classic? Try formatting the SD card and check if the internal storage is full.

    2 Pro First try at Light Painting

    That’s super awesome!! About how many waypoints did that take? Did you do the “painting” directly overhead with all waypoints at the same altitude?

    3 Above the clouds

    Awesome footage! It doesn’t look that high. Looks like there was fog / low clouds so he didn’t have to go up thousands of feet to go above the clouds. The Avata 2 can ascend 6m/s in Normal mode and 9m/s in Sport Mode. In terms of regulation in Bulgaria, I can’t help there lol

    Altitude not repeating on saved hyperlapse waypoint mission - Air 3

    I believe he may be referring to the fact that when creating regular waypoints, the pilot has much more control over the planning of the flight path, including setting the height above take-off point globally and via individual waypoints, whereas with the hyperlapse waypoints tool, it is a much...

    RC-N2 vs RC-2 controller for quickly taking photos into iPhone for inspections

    As mentioned above, if your drone has QuickTransfer, you do not need any remote controller to transfer photos and videos from the drone directly to your phone via the DJI Fly app. So the remote does not matter for that use case.

    Heavy Lag

    I haven’t had any issues with my RC2 and Air 3 with the April 11 updates (other than the P designation for normal mode). I’ve also noticed that when I start the motors, it no longer makes me press a button on the screen and then pull in the sticks a second time for the motors to actually start...
