    Flower Lens Hood for X5/X5S Compatible Lenses

    Has anyone made use of flower shaped lens hoods on any of the compatible lenses? I'm specifically chasing one for the stock DJI 15mm lens to combat unwanted lens flare. I've ordered a 46mm thread flower lens off eBay but it will take a while to get here, so I thought I'd see if anyone had...

    h.264 vs h.265 - Realistic differences

    Your first comment provided nothing to the topic of this discussion and was actually dismissive of the whole topic by a statement that was sweeping yet misleading. Your second comment is worth talking about though. Some post production packages do support h.265 and some don't and people...

    h.264 vs h.265 - Realistic differences

    And what has that got to do with those that do support it or the actual topic of this discussion?

    h.264 vs h.265 - Realistic differences

    I suppose that's where the question was born from - Adobe Premier on PC currently does support h.265 and so I have compared them side-by-side in Premier and haven't seen any differences. And the fact that DJI has decided that they are going to use the new codec to record the extra image data...

    h.264 vs h.265 - Realistic differences

    From what I have researched so far, the major improvement between h.264 and h.265 is the greater efficiency by which the same level of detail from a h.264 video is 40-50% smaller in file size when recorded in h.265. Simple enough - file sizes will decrease whilst maintaining image quality or...

    X5S 1080p vs X5 1080p

    Just did my first actual in-flight test of 1080p120 and it's absolutely rubbish. Image quality is pretty dreadfull despite how smooth it is slowed down. What good is 120fps if it looks like crap? I imagine the video posted above is at 1080 30fps (hence the better image quality and stuttered...

    X5S 1080p vs X5 1080p

    Due to a severe lack of I2 batteries (and poor weather) here in Australia I haven't been able to get out and do a heap of testing on the new kit. I'm interested as to whether the X5S is plagued by the truly HORRENDOUS image quality when pulled back to 1080p like the X5 was. I don't know how it...

    X5S Bitrate Variants

    Optimized yes, but you couldn't say using the same hardware to encode 300Mb/s or 500Mb/s onto the SSD's would max out the processors when it's capable of 4.2Gb/s

    X5S Bitrate Variants

    Is there a particular reason why DJI has effectively gone all or nothing with the bitrates? Is there a reason they haven't allowed any intervals in bitrate between fully fledged RAW video and the 100Mbit. It would be handy to take a little more info if you decided you wanted it without having to...

    Shoot 1080p OR 4K & Scale Down in Post?

    Is anyone else still having the exact same issue? Massive differential in image quality between 1080p48 and 2160p25 (4K). I never use 1080 as it was horrible when I first got my X5 18 months ago: tried it again today and it is probably worse than the X3. Mushy, very un-sharp video, loss of...

    Image unfocused when connection is lost

    Had my Inspire set up on a POI flight taking some photos of a tall apartment building. Dialled everything and images were tack sharp, but as the drone whipped around the rear of the building (temporary loss of LOS) it appears as though the camera has unfocused itself. Now I hazard a guess that...
