    New firmwares issued

    Did you use a charging station to previously update your batteries? I did, and the .300 update will not update the batteries. DJI had acknowledged the issue and we have to wait for a battery station update to do the batteries. Looks like the old BS firmware had a higher number than the one...

    New firmwares issued

    According to the DJI Forum, they did not update the firmware of the charging station and who knows what happens with the conflicting battery version numbers. The charging station battery update brings to the 1.0.0.71. I can't see the battery FW version of what the .300 is applied. My guess...

    File sizes of the X7 Apple Pro Res and CinemaDNG recording

    It is much more efficient with ProRes RAW. PPR was able to save around 27 minutes of 6K/24fps/12 bit depth footage in a test. With CDNG it was 17 minutes with similar settings. A real world test earlier this week in the field confirmed similar findings. Downside is you need an Apple product...

    Wonder if they updated the FW for the charging station. Much easier to update batteries with it.

    File sizes of the X7 Apple Pro Res and CinemaDNG recording

    Anyone ever get a good answer on the length of video that can be captured at 6k on the 480gb SSD?

    Aircraft Simulation

    Was thinking along that line. Would be great if you could adjust that with a dial in the cendence. I’ll find a use for a snow blower in Phoenix before that gets rolled out.

    Record switching off by itself.

    Check your flash card and make sure it is fast enough. I recently bought 20 off Amazon, all the same speed, but 4 failed a write test and I returned for working cards.

    Aircraft Simulation

    Have a customer that is looking for several minutes of video shot at 6K. Doesn't really want smooth straight flight but rather something along the lines of an aircraft. Bumpy and banking on turns. Assuming this will not have to be a continuous shoot I can simulate the banks with up to 10 degrees...

    USA Newbie Question - What paperwork do I physically need?

    I was filming a food truck event in Mesa a few weeks ago, and had a person come up and ask, how long it too me to get my authorization to fly so close to Falcon Field. I said about 4 months for 100 feet then another 5 for the whole altitude range of the facility maps. he went on to say he also...

    MORE LAANCs !!!

    So tempting to file for Roswell and put the type in as unidentified.

    CrystalSky - Litchi App now officially supported

    Saw this last night. Didn't mind paying again for the Android App to support their efforts to make the program better. Maybe more vendors will add Amazon App Store as an option to get around the Google Play Services crashing.

    Hawaii - which island to go droning?

    Why is it always, "The drone struck xxx... and never xxx struck a drone?" You never read a story about the ground, tree or mountain striking a plane.

    Hawaii - which island to go droning?

    It doesn't rain all the time. I think out of 10 days, just 1 afternoon we got rain. The south side is dryer. I found plenty to see. Rent a jeep if you go. Navigation of roads and airspace was easy. You will always deal with wind. Just fly smart and safe Some of my videos Ask the property...
