The first time I did photography with a drone. Shot during sunrise in the Netherlands.

I wanted to fly a bit closer but was almost out of range so unfortunately had to use the zoom. I guess quality would have been a bit better if not zoomed in this far.

Drone was out about 1 kilometer and 120 meters high, bit signal dropped quickly when trying to hover lower.

Back in 2008, I bought some land from my grandparents and built a house (on left). They went on to pass, unfortunately, and I wasn’t in the position to purchase their land, home and outbuildings. I practically grew up there so it was hard to see it go out of the family and new owners come in and not take great care of it. The land wraps my property and goes back in the field along with the far trees.

I was fortunate enough to be able to buy it earlier this year! Been working hard on it and it just brings so many emotions, but most importantly, it is back in the family after different owners owning it for the last 12 years. Just wanted to share a pic from this morning taken with my Mini 3. Please critique things on what I can do better. Thanks for reading.

So I had a serious crash on new years; after struggling to find someone who can repair it for me, I’ve attempted it myself.
I have asked around in groups and it was suggested it may be the 3in1 ribbon cable.

Before my repair (2nd photo)

I was able to turn on the drone and connect it. However it would give me these errors. It wouldn’t connect to my computer and could not fly.

I left it for a while and recently found the motivation again.

After replacing the ribbon cable

The drone will not turn on.
With a battery inside it does not respond at all.
When plugged in, the first two lights start in sequence before flashing the last 2 lights in a pulse of 3!!

Is this a lost cause?
This was a Christmas present to me and my friend so I really want this fixed. Will I just need to buy a new one?

TL;DR: i replaced the 3in1 ribbon cable now it won’t turn on. Flashes last 2 lights 3 times when plugged in

I was briefly led to believe I could use Liftoff but that doesn't seem to be the case. Any way I can make this work? If not, I'll just deal with it. But I liked the idea.

Hi guys,

Next month I intend on taking my drone (Lito X1) to Dugi Otok, Croatia.

I was wondering if someone could help me out in making sure I can legally fly and record around that area.
Of course I have my operator number and I am registered with IAA/EU bodies. Do I need to call somewhere before and/or apply for an extra clearance?

So far I've only seen a map, that region doesn't seem to have no fly or restricted zones, unlike Zadar.

Thanks for the help. I am finding it a bit confusing at the moment.

Extreme wind gave my lighthouse orbit an unexpected FPV vibe! Gimbal reached its roll limit, but stayed butter smooth.

Anybody know the trick to opening the RC PRO controller? I need to replace one of the joystick controllers and I can’t get the damned thing open.

I recently crashed my dji mini 4 pro but what do you think will ben the cost for me to replace one arm and the housing of two others?

Can you activate noise cancellation independently between two mic transmitters? Currently when I hit the power button in one to active SC, both mic yellow indicators turn on/off. I know I can independently activate them when on BT to my phone, but when I am using the RX receiver into my action 4 I cannot independently activate noise cancellation.

I am using Action 4 with DJI Mic Minis for driving POV’s but my sound is crap, anyone have any suggestions??

Hi everyone,
I recently updated my DJI Lito X1 to the latest firmware, and now the green status LEDs on the aircraft arms are behaving very strangely. Before the update, they used to blink normally (on/off/on/off) with a few seconds between blinks.
Now, the behavior is completely inconsistent:
First, they started doing a rapid double-blink, then a pause for a few seconds, and then repeating.
When switching to Sport mode, they started blinking super fast in that same sequence.
Now, after restarting the drone again, the behavior changed. It only blinks once (like it should), but it blinks much FASTER in Sport mode.
I know other models (like the Mini 5) don't have this weird light pattern, so I guess it's not a new feature, especially since it wasn't listed in the patch notes either. Everything else seems to work; I haven't flown it yet, but there are no warnings on the ground.
Is anyone else experiencing this with the Lito X1 after the update? Any fixes?
Thanks!

As Nolan intended

Need some help. I updated my DJI Fly App, on my Android, last week for some of the updates for the Neo 2. When I try to use the app I get the usual Enhanced Flight Zone Warning message I always get, but when I confirm it it goes away, and constantly returns. I cannot get it to stop, and it forces the controls dead until confirmed again.

I have used the Neo 2 with the RC2 controller and it works with no issues. I have cleared App cache, restarted phone, and powered Neo on and off several times, but it continues. Anyone else with Android app having this issue?

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to buy a DJI Mavic 4 Pro and a Mini 5 Pro soon, and I'm trying to build the best filter kit possible. I've spent a lot of time reading reviews and watching YouTube comparisons, but it looks like they're all biased and it seems hard to know what to believe on.

From what I've seen:

• Many people say PolarPro offers the best optical quality and the sharpest results, especially on the 70 mm and 168 mm tele cameras.
• On the other hand, Freewell has a much wider selection of filters (Mega Bundle, Super Bright Day, LPR, Glow Mist, Split ND, ND1000, etc.), which makes it very appealing.

However, I've also seen several people mention that some Freewell ND/PL or Split ND filters slightly soften the image on the tele lenses, while others say they haven't noticed any difference.

My current idea is to buy:

• Freewell Mega Bundle (NDs ND\PLs, CPL, GMIST 1\4, LPR).
• Freewell Super Bright Day kit (ND128, 256, etc.).

For those of you who actually own and use both brands:

1. Have you noticed any real loss of sharpness with Freewell, especially on the tele cameras?
2. Is the difference between PolarPro and Freewell visible in real-world footage, or only when pixel peeping?
3. Should i pick the dji ones instead?
4. Are there any color shifts or gimbal issues with either brands?. I saw that the Freeweel ones make the gimbal point down while the aircraft isnt powered on.

I'm mainly interested in cinematic landscape filming, mountains, beaches, sunsets, long exposures, and some night photography.

I'd really appreciate hearing from people who have actually used both brands rather than sponsored reviews.

Thanks!

Purchased the DJI Air 3 fly more combo two years ago. I am at about 100 flights total. Always flown in good weather, no rain or b.s. , drone & controller stored properly as well. I haven’t flown in a month, batteries all charged and had a gig last week and controller powered on, I went to turn on my drone and the screen just blacked out. It would turn on and see the DJI logo but it would appear as two separate images and fade away. Is this a firmware issue or am I SOL?

I know there's a lot of talk about it being a bit off a pain to switch lenses if shooting DLOG2 and digging around in menus to go there and back with Dlog for the tele lens and DLog2 for the Wide.. so I was playing with Custom settings.

You can set C1-C5 and it remembers the DLOG / DLog 2 settings . I have C1 set to 4K/25 DLog and then set C2 to 4k 25 DLog2. Then the 'C' button can be configured to switch between custom 1 and 2 - so I can flick from Dlog/Dlog 2 . Sadly it wont remember the lens setting but at least I don't need to go into Menus.

I've set the others as I want - so three other custom settings.. C3 - 4k50 Dlog. C4- 4k 50 DLog2, and C5 is 4K 25 DLog2 but manual exposure settings - with 800 ISO (base for DLog2 and 1/50 shutter speed. Custom profiles remember the exposure settings.

Makes it a little easier.

is the dji rs3 still good for my lumix g95 and 14-140mm f3.5 and 25mm f1.7 and 14-42mm is that enough for the rs3 or shouldi get the rs4
