    Zenmuse X7 Crash... fixed.... FLIES FINALLY!!!

    Just send it to DJI, They are the only ones who can repair it. The repair centers cannot calibrate the camera after parts are replaced. Only DJI can calibrate, Go to DJI website and open a repair ticket. They will give you a shipping label to send it in.

    Continuous AF on X7?

    What are you shooting? Close ups or anything over 15'? I believe the infinity focus is about 15' from the lens. So just set in manual at infinity in most cases.

    Zenmuse X7 Crash... fixed.... FLIES FINALLY!!!

    Crashed awhile back with my X5s. Broke the gimbal in half. Went to local DJI in Denver. They said that they did not have the equipment to calibrate after the repairs. Sent it back to DJI. Whole process took about 3 weeks. $300 Works like new.

    NEED X7 YAW ARM

    I don't think those parts are available separately. Best to contact DJI for a repair ticket and send it in for repair.

    What to do with a damaged X5S?

    Go on the DJI website and open a repair ticket. Mine looked exactly like yours. Send it to DJI. they will respond with a price to fix it. Mine was only $300 to repair. Works like brand new. Heck of a lot cheaper than a new one.

    Magenta Shift DJI Inspire 2 and X5s

    I hope that will help. It's not a perfect fix as I've found in post color correction but it does make a difference. I am using DaVinci Resolve for editing and color work and have no problems correcting the shift. Not sure what you are using for an editor. A lot of people use resolve for color...

    Magenta Shift DJI Inspire 2 and X5s

    I shoot primarily in d-log prores 422 on the ssd and h.264 on the sd card. But this magenta shift affects all the color profiles that I have tried. It took me awhile to find a compromise in the camera settings that would make a difference. Pre-setting the light temperature at 5200-5300k makes a...

    Magenta Shift DJI Inspire 2 and X5s

    It's a known problem with the X5s. Many people have complained to DJI and asked for a menu with custom user color balance settings. Or a way to manually set and lock the white balance with a sheet of white paper. I have experimented and found if you set the custom white balance at 5.2-5.3 k it...

    D-Log or D-cinelike

    Yes, I agree DJI needs to allow the locking of the white balance. I don't understand why they don't. I also have several DSLR's as well as a GH4 that have that function. I even have a Yuneec drone that has that function. Only problem with that drone is the camera is a potato and useless for...

    D-Log or D-cinelike

    Having used Dlog and D-Cinelike on multiple projects and then working with them in post I can say that I prefer D-Cinelike as it is much easier to color grade for me and the files are cleaner without as much noise. Dlog also locks your ISO which I feel contributes as to why artifacts and noise...

    BLOWN out Reds??

    Have you tried the custom color balance setting at 5200K? If you haven't then give it a try. It fools the camera so that it it lowers the magenta.

    BLOWN out Reds??

    Definitely an issue even on the X5s that I use, I was hoping DJI would put a custom RGB color profile in the menu. I have overcome it though by setting a custom light temperature at 5200 k for daylight shooting with Dlog. This really helps reduce the reds. Then I made a lut in Davinci that I...

    Issues with the ssd reader?

    The DJI reader is notoriously slow. Many have had this issue. This is a big complaint especially with copying Cinema DNG files. The fastest transfer rate I can get is 49 mbs a second with usb 3.0 on my desktop editor. Very frustrating.

    set me straight on apple pro res and the cinema dng programs

    That would work, license $500, 240 gb SSD $499, SSD reader $149= $1149 Kinda pricey but if you gotta have it.
