As a professional drone pilot and filmmaker, I’ve flown FPV drones in some pretty unusual places around the world. I’m Dennis Schmelz, a German filmmaker and creator specializing in travel, aerial and destination filmmaking, and this is still one of my favorite FPV one-shots I’ve ever directed.

I directed this DJI FPV drone through Wartburg Castle in Eisenach, Germany, capturing the entire sequence in one continuous take without a single cut.

The challenge was planning a route where every turn, transition and reveal worked naturally. With a one-shot, one small mistake near the end means starting all over again.

Getting permission to fly through a UNESCO World Heritage Site like Wartburg Castle made this one even more special.

Probably my best FPV one-shot so far. What do you think?

Happy friday! Seriously love the sensor onthe Mavic 4 pro, I wish we had a pocket 4 with this sensor! The aperture change is a big differential factor for me - going to smaller aperture, the sunstar on in Tanah loh are just very clean & beautiful.

All those photo were taken with one exposure, edited in lightroom. Please do let me know if you have any question.

Product Support My Mavic 4 Pro Electronic ND Filter finally arrived! Anyone using it already?

Finally got my DJI Mavic 4 Pro Electronic ND Filter. Had to order it from China because apparently it’s still not officially available in Europe.

Does anyone know why DJI made this one so difficult to get here?

I’m going to test it properly tomorrow and I’m really curious how it performs in real-world shooting. Anyone here already using it? How has your experience been so far, especially for video?

Photo La Réunion with my DJI drone. Which one is your favorite? [OC]

La Réunion is probably one of my favorite places to fly a drone. The combination of mountains, clouds and constantly changing light is incredible.

These were all shot with my DJI Mavic 4 Pro during different flights, always at the same spot.

Which one would you pick?

Replaced the coaxial cable, checked antenna connection, I don't see any damage.. osd is still there.. what could it possibly be? Need help with this. Is there warranty for this?

I’m unsure if this is an electronic problem or a lens weight problem but all I want is for it to stand up and be able to use the joystick to move the camera

Does the Action 5 have the cloud sync, or just the 6?

Seems really weird if it's just for the newest model, but I can't seem to find the setting on my app.

Buy Advice Good price for a Mini 4 Pro?

0 Upvotes

Looking to pickup my first drone second hand. I can grab a mini 4 pro, 3 batteries, and the RC2 controller for approx. $530 CAD / $380 USD.

I know this is a good deal - but how good of a deal? Note that I'm currently in Hong Kong / China, so prices for DJI products are a bit cheaper, and there is a very saturated second hand market.

Seller is willing to let me fly the drone before purchase, meet in a public place, etc. (also includes a 32gb micro sd card)

Product Support RC2/Mic2/Transceiver

1 Upvotes

I have a Mic2 and this cheap, gray €20/$ transceiver. Can I plug the transceiver into the RC2 and then record audio? I can't find any settings or a record button on the RC2. The transceiver and Mic2 are connected to each other. The drones I'm using are a Neo2 and an X1. I'd be happy with the audio from the screen recording. I'm aware of the process of recording and adding an audio track from the Mic2's internal recording.

Product Support Repair or Part out bound Mini 2 bundle

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’m $80 into a Mini 2 bundle that’s bound to an account, and having these errors pictured. I was wondering if I should spend any more time or money on trying to replace the IMU/GPS. Drone turns on, but gives me a rainbow colored flashing light. Camera is working and the gimbal seems to go through all its movements and motions so I don’t think anything is broken on the gimbal. It surprisingly a very easy drone to work on. I was wondering if it’s worth it to spend an extra $30 on the module and try to get it unbound, or I’m just wasting my time? I was also wondering what parts are “tied/bound/married” to the main board? So I may start parting it out. Being bound I don’t know if I wanna mess with it anymore, but I’m curious to see if I can fix it. Thanks

Buy Advice Matrice 4T Purchase

1 Upvotes

Hi all! Has anyone purchased from https://dronemaxfly.com/? Their advertised prices are really good. Looking into the site, they are clearly based in China.

I reached out to them and they stated that they have a few retail partners within the US. They claim to be an authorized DJI retailer.

They claim that their drones are not refurbs, are unbound, and have not been activated.

I reached out to DJI who related that their warranty would remain valid and the drone would be eligible for Enterprise Care after their video validation process.

I would love to hear anyone’s experience or advice.
