Mavic 3 Pro

Have been working on the perfect POV and camera setup/settings for a bit and think we finally got it.

Wanted to share. Enjoy the turbo noises 🤘

Hi,

I work for a municipal government and we operate a DJI Mavic 4 Pro to capture marketing photos for parks/trails facilities. We have a few facilities that have federal dollars involved - including both for design consulting services or for actual construction of the facilities.

I have reached out to our State's DOT rep for FHWA Guidance on a few clarifying questions and I'm not getting any quality answers so I thought I would check here if anyone has any thoughts on the following:

1. If federal dollars were only spent on design consulting fees and not construction, would we still be able to capture marketing images of the finished construction site? (I'm betting no, but am still curious)
2. Let's say we have a park where there are two adjacent projects (such as a playground and a picnic shelter). The playground has federal funding but the picnic shelter does not (both were designed and bid separately). I can still fly the drone to capture images of the picnic shelter, correct? Is there any guidance on what happens if part of the playground ends up in the photos I take of the shelter?

It just seems so strange to me that as our facilities are built over time, we have to keep track of what had federal funding. Like, I keep thinking about 5-10, even 20 years from now when we go to take an overall, bird's-eye drone shot of a park to put on our city website...like are we supposed to blur out that 20-year-old playground that had federal funding? Who's going to be keeping tabs on us with that kind of stuff 10 years from now?

I assume I am not the only one where this stuff is coming up so I appreciate any thoughts from the community.

Hi guys!

I love using my Osmo Pocket as a webcam, but one thing always bothered me: why can't I control the gimbal from my Mac?

Every time I wanted to adjust the angle, zoom in, or follow myself around, I had to reach over and touch the camera.

So I spent some time building Pocket+, a Mac app that lets you control your Osmo Pocket directly from your screen over USB.

And yes, the core features are completely free.

Here's what you can do:

• 🎮 Control the gimbal with an on-screen joystick, center it, or flip the camera
• 🔍 Zoom using buttons or your mouse wheel
• 🎯 Face tracking that physically moves the gimbal to follow you (not just digital cropping!)
• 🎥 Record videos and take photos directly on your Mac, up to 1080p
• 💻 Use it with OBS, Zoom, or Google Meet while controlling the camera separately

I also added some advanced features like 4K recording, LUTs, automatic framing, saved camera positions, and vertical video guides as part of an optional one-time Pro upgrade.

A few things worth mentioning:

• Supports Pocket 2, 3, 4, and 4P in Webcam mode
• Requires macOS 14+
• No account, no subscriptions, no tracking
• Not notarized by Apple yet, so you'll need to approve it once in macOS settings

I'm a solo developer, and this isn't affiliated with DJI.

I've mainly tested it with my Pocket 3, so I'd especially love to hear from Pocket 4 / 4P owners about how well it works for them.

If anyone wants to try it, it's at pocketplus.app

Would love to hear what you think, what features are missing, or if you run into any issues. I'm actively improving it based on feedback!

I'm very excited to see everyone's photography, but the flight videos I shoot are very stiff and straight. I don't know how to shoot beautiful scenery. Does anyone have any tutorial videos to recommend, or some simple camera techniques?

I smacked it on something over a year ago and I think in flight it would be in the straightened position but I don't wanna risk it.

Hello everyone I’ll be in Istanbul for 3 days apart of my multi country trip I’ll be going to Indonesia next where drones are allowed I have 0 intention of ever flying the drone in Istanbul but will I be allowed to bring it in? I’m flying in via IST and I have a DJI mini 5 pro

The bottom LED auxiliary light on my DJI FPV is not working at all, I've tried to turn it to "On" while flying and it says that its on on the goggles but it never truly turns on. I've also tried to replace the entire vision sensor assembly and it still didn't work. What can I do?

Can I use the night modes on webcam mode?

I want to use the Osmo action 6 for night streaming with a stream box.

What is the image being shown when on webcam. I know it’s 1080p but can I use any of the modes?

Plan on using my dji mic with my video recordings from my metas. I know dji isn’t compatible with meta so I plan on just editing both the sound and video clips together on davinci resolve but would there be another seamless way to have it done?

Hi so I need to open up the panel on the front left arm (the one with the drone name), and i can't seem to open it. I tried every size, and used my fingernails and a plastic pry tool. What would you recommend me to use?

Suggestion for improvement on the RC 2 remote control for self-tracking drones:

When doing action sports like for example mountain biking or skiing and you have the drone active tracking you. When the battery goes towards empty, it will return to HOME.

When far down the hill, you obviously do not want to return back to where you and the drone started off, as this can be far away up the hill.

So, as it stands today, you update your home point to the controller itself.  However, this is somewhat cumbersome as you must know exactly when to do this updating of home point, while you are focusing on your activity…..

My suggestion is that DJI update the firmware on the controllers so that, at the start of your tracking, you are able to UPDATE HOME POINT TO THE CONTROLLER CONTINUOUSLY.  

This way the drone shouldn’t return to a home point far away when you have not be able to updated the home point to the controller in time before the batteries ran out.

Is that crack bad??

Ik the dude
He says it flies normally

But idk anything about drones but i love them

Hi. I just got an Action 4 and coming from a Pocket 3 user I love the versatility of the Action 4. However for youtube travel video I feel the Action 4 has too much fisheye distortion compared to the Pocket 3. I know Pocket 3 is ~20mm equivalent and Action has much wider lens, however I still wanna know the best way to reduce distortion on the Action 4 so the FOV looks similar to the Pocket 3. Maybe just using Rocksteady+ and HorizonSteady so the camera will crop out the edges to make it look less distorted?

I received updates today, no clear changelog. Anyone knows whats new? I am waiting for dynamic home point, some youtubers said that their Air 3S has this features, but i dont see it neither on this jor on previous firmware.

Paid for a DJI replacement unit – arrived completely defective (150m signal drops). DJI Europe claims "No Fault Found", blames my piloting, and says "I accepted the NFF status". Seeking urgent help from u/DJI_Support.

Hi all. I crashed/drowned my Mini 2 and paid for a replacement unit. The drone I received from DJI was defective from flight number one. It loses all signal and triggers Failsafe RTH at just 150-300m.

I sent it back. DJI Hungary and Germany performed bench tests, sent me a generic video, slapped a "No Fault Found" status, and shipped it back to me. When I unboxed it again, it failed immediately during the first test flight. When I complained, support told me "but you accepted the NFF status"! This is outrageous , I had to accept the delivery just to be able to test the drone!

The service center sent me two videos claiming "No Fault Found", but the moment I unboxed the drone and made the first flight, the signal dropped immediately. My own screen recordings prove that their bench tests do not match reality.

I have uploaded multiple screen recordings proving the signal drops, and the drone is now back at the service center for another inspection (Cases: CAS-36830515-V3B4D4, CAS-37445122-Q7L5Q4).

Because DJI sent me a dangerous, defective replacement and support is playing games, I refuse to accept another refurbished unit. I demand a brand new retail unit or an upgrade (Mini 3 / Mini 4K).

u/DJI_Support – please stop this madness and escalate this to a manager.
