    Recording cinemadng at 1fps

    Does anyone know if it's possible to record to cinema dng at much lower frame rates? i'm talking 1fps. We have a photogrammetry project which would become significantly easier if we could press record and get on with flying for an entire battery duration. Mashing the photo button constantly at...

    To buy or not, input appreciated.

    Unless you are shooting in cinemaDNG and pushing the footage incredibly hard in post, you will not be able to see a difference. I would put money on the table for a bet that you will probably try this once, realise that it takes hours just to process a single shot and that for what you do, you...

    The x7 isnt a world of difference from the x5s with some olympus lenses. if you've never shot in raw before you'll struggle to notice the difference. the increase in quality you might be seeing between the x7 and x5s may also be down to the fact that the kind of people who would spring for an x7...

    Filming at night

    yes but it gets noisy and soft very quickly. you might need to use cinema dng. this is a 100% crop from the tail end of dusk, pretty much properly night with only a little color in the sky. Using optical flow noise reduction leaves it pretty sharp and clean at 1080p. usable at 4k, but notably...

    Issues with the ssd reader?

    For what it's worth - I tried it on a Mac and got proper speeds that feel like it is as fast as can be. Essentially it doesn't work on a windows computer, transfer speeds of dng files crawl painfully slow. Weirdly, taking dng files off the micro SD card is fast - so it's definitely an issue...

    Understanding shutter speeds

    My general rule is not to go below 1/320 - at all. I've seen 1/250 end up slightly blurry before.

    Issues with the ssd reader?

    Thank you for checking! That's with .dng files, or a .mov? I think there may be something wrong with my reader in that case. I'l going to try again with DJI support, they have been ignoring me for the last few days. USB3.0 in theory can handle speeds far, far higher. I have never understood why...

    Issues with the ssd reader?

    What transfer speed do you get with the SSD? I'm in the US, tested it on flat open ground in Miami.

    Patch Antenna: The Emperor's New Clothes?

    So am I supposed to pull the cables out of the bottom of the patch antenna before I do this? The cables are too short to unscrew. The knurled part and the cable coming out cant be moved independently of another.

    Patch Antenna: The Emperor's New Clothes?

    Which way are you supposed to turn them? mine have a little bit of give in both direction then they lock up. Is the outer knurled part supposed to be able to turn independently of the cable? I think whoever attached these in the factory screwed them on a bit too tight...

    Patch Antenna: The Emperor's New Clothes?

    I only got my inspire 2 a week ago, but it came with 2 remotes with the patch antennae attached. Both of them loose signal with the drone completely about 500ft away over open ground. it's kind of outrageous. Does anyone have a guide on how to remove them? or one to attach them I can follow in...

    Issues with the ssd reader?

    I am finding that this - Is not usable. Tried 3 computers, USB ports in the back, USB ports in the front. Transferring from djissd to local drive, local SSD, and an external hard drive also connected via USB 3. No difference in transfer speed between any of the variables. The fastest transfer...
