This is also why you always have to have a backup airframe and imagining system... If all you've got is one UAV, a pro no go.

I would say this; can you go out and get some great shots with the stock lens? Yes; is the Olympus 12mm noticeably better? Absolutely. I also take a very "Casey Neistat" view of things, shoot with what you have. It's not about the camera, lens, etc; skilled craftsmen find a way.

The X4s is the intended camera for the M210. It is somewhat "hardened" to protect from environmental issues and is exactly the same camera innards as the P4P. Putting the X5s on the M210 is a waste of money as the M210 doesn't have the onboard processors like the Inspire 2. The M2xx series...

I hope your IMU/compass has it's polar goodness restored ASAP.

I will openly admit I'm not a camera nerd. I love cameras but, they are just tools to me. That said, I'm amazed every day at the output of these in the DJI line. Sure, you can find flaws but, there isn't anything in the air at even 2-3 times the costs that compares. I'm still blown away by...

I will have to try that out. I'm kind of used to making the horizon check part of my preflight routine. The fact you have to do this every time you fly is a PITA.

And of course, courtesy of DJI, a crooked horizon...

Good luck on your quest.

Sorry! I was just trying to help.

Don't know if you've tried this or not but: dji x7 review - YouTube Just remember, what you see on your computer probably doesn't exactly match up with reality because of resolution limitations of your computer or the website.

Certainly not implying it makes sense from an ethical standpoint but, businesses do this when companies, like DJI and Apple, are so dominant in the field they can afford to (no competition) and it's cheaper to let the customer beta test in real world and collect the data (and they do) and hush...

I agree with you but, this is exactly DJI's normal operating procedure. Push the beta out and let the consumer be the tester. And, while I won't get into the science of it, their approach makes statistical sense. But, it sure screws us whom by choice or necessity are early adopters of their...

Just curious but, how does it do when powered up? Is this keeping it from functioning properly?

I watch the "camera debates" on here with interest. While I would love to have an X7 the truth of the matter is it's horrific overkill for most of us. The reality is that the screen or print size intended for the audience is probably 95% of the equation. So, when I read people asking for...

I don't mind replying publicly. Here are mine: Fix the update process. Fewer and make sure they don't screw us strait out of the download. Make the on screen data scaleable. I'm 60, I can't see a #2 font clearly without reading glasses. Why make me? Got to be simple fix. Don't punish me...
