    Which lens?

    Sorry you guys are having trouble but for me this lens is turning out to be my favorite. You can change the zoom in the air which is amazing and it's as sharp as anything I've seen for this format, and the little balance rings on the front of the lens are so easy to put on. I also have the...

    Balancing help: Olympus 14-42

    I just put one on my 5s with the balancing rings from DJI. Works perfectly. It's only back heavy when it's turned off. When on the lens extends and the beauty of this lens is that you can adjust the zoom from the app while it's in the air. Incredibly useful and I found it to be perfectly sharp.

    Best workflow for producing optimum footage, both in the sky and in post?

    There is the possibility of using log, which I'm addicted to on my architecture stuff. It's harder to grade but gives you much more dynamic range. What the DJI log, in fact, is remains a bit of a mystery, as are a lot of their specs. And although I am an outlier here, I am shooting with much...

    lens refocus hunting.

    My understanding is that I2 AF is not continuous AF that you typically find in higher end DSLRs. It feels like to me you are doing focus seeking a lot which is not something I've experienced. Typically what I do is click auto focus using my R2 button and go forward from there in the hopes that...

    Autofocus speed

    My personal experience with focus peaking is that it's not very trustworthy. I'm now experimenting with assigning the C2 button as a autofocus reset button to see if the footage is as jerky as the screen seems to indicate it would be. How else can we go from subjects that are near to full...

    Autofocus speed

    The trouble I have with visually focusing seems to be in the resolution of the screen. There were many times that I felt that either I was focused or wasn't and then found out I was wrong when I got it back in the studio. The focus assist seems promising (where the image is blown up) but that...

    New DJI inspire 2 and Auto Pilot?

    It's a huge deal for me, and one that I feel DJI might be snaking to give their poor copy called Ground Station a leg up. The auto pilot program, for us who are more into the craft of movie making than piloting, is brilliant, though there's a steep learning curve. It lets you completely massage...

    Inspire 2 1080P 120fps

    It's friggin amazing. I was so pissed off that I could only shoot 60p in narrow FOV that I tried the 120fps when I couldn't reframe a shot to accommodate the crop. Silky smooth and lovely for slow pans and it must be awesome for action shots which I don't do. You can only review it in post but...

    Autofocus speed

    This is one of my biggest complaints with the system is that there is no continuous autofocus. So if you are close to an object and go up in the air for a distant focus you have the pumping action of the find focus every time you tap on the screen or hit C2. If you set your lens at a decent f...

    4K60 Narrow FOV??!!!

    So what's the trade off resolution wise? I was excited about the 4K 60 but I'm not sure I like what I'm seeing in the H264 version.

    Firmware Update v1.2.0.17 Available

    Just felt that I had to concur with the positives here. Absolutely flawless first flight after upgrading everything. And the upgrade was flawless as well. I think that often the people with no problems are the less vocal so it seems as though this upgrade is nothing but problems. Two thumbs up...
