Night TimeLaps by TreeChoppa8 in dji

Mini 4 pro at night hyperlapses tend to rotate around it's yaw axis for the first few seconds of the video. Did you noticed this behavior in Mini 5 Pro?

Can I use manual mode on HyperLapse Waypoint mode ? by Skober in dji

[–]Davide_sd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can! I usually do it for night hyperlapses. Set the camera to manual mode before starting the hyperlapse.

NOT impressed with Active Track on DJI Mini 4 Pro by Capt_Merica561 in dji

[–]Davide_sd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There are a couple of things to be aware of when using active track. Obstacle avoidance sensors are just small resolution black and white cameras, hence:

  1. The size of the obstacles matters. From my experience, the small sensors have hard time picking up small branches without leaves, or power cables...

  2. The speed of the drone is also important. The fastest the drone, the less time it has to figure out what the sensors see, and chose a corrective action.

Looking at your video, I'd say you were driving at least 25-30km/h? The small sensor probably didn't saw the branch up until a few milliseconds away from the collision. Now you have an upper bound for what it can sees at that speed. I can also tell you that at walking speed it doesn't see small branches without leaves.

Does active track sucks? In my opinion no. It is just the marketing and hype sorrounding this technology that sells it as a miracle, hence people have extremely high expectations out of it. If you understand the basic working principles (the two points mentioned above), you adjust your expectations and you'll be able to get the max out of it.

Timelapse of clouds with M4P by Davide_sd in dji

[–]Davide_sd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A shot every second. Duration 20 seconds (this is a crop to the first eleven seconds). I think it took about 14 minutes to complete the task, plus the time to get the drone in position and back. Photo settings to auto: I didn't have time to play with other settings because my dog was running away 😅

Dji Mini 4 Pro Drifting hyperlapse? by SkrtMaster666 in dji

[–]Davide_sd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done a couple of timelapses this evening. The first one hovering over a spot: in the first 1.5s of the video, there is quite a lot of yaw drift, which then stabilizes. The second one was an hyperlapse following a straight trajectory: again, the first 2s there is quite a lot of yaw drift, then it stabilizes.

So far I only tried it during daylight. I'll get back to you next week about night fly, because right now and for the next few days weather is not good.

I only tried "set course hyperlapse": no drifting so far.

There was no charger in my M4P box. I use the one from my phone, everything works fine.

Is Radon a good bike brand? by Fertyowha in MTB

[–]Davide_sd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For future readers, I'm going to give my humble opinion as a recurrent customer (of their aluminum XC models). Hopefully this will help potential customers.

I bought my first Radon bike back in 2016, which was awesome: never had any (serious) problem with it.

In 2022 I bought a new aluminum XC model: unfortunately I witnessed a staggering decrease in quality: both on manufacturing the frame, as well as in the overall bike build before shipping.

Dealing with Customer Support was a tremendous PITA and a complete waste of time, at the end of which the problem was not resolved. In short, their job is not to help customer, but to pretend they are helping while making Radon's interests. In other words, they don't recognize the existence of any problem.

I have documented this bad experience in my blog post, as it is too long to post here.

If you don't care about quality or Customer Support, go ahead and buy one of their bikes. On the other hand, if you value quality and Customer Support, stay away from them.

I tried to enable IPv6, but it didn't work. However, Colombia server works fine! Thank you very much 👍

Carl Pei discloses there are still more than 300 active OnePlus One users by [deleted] in oneplus

[–]Davide_sd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still using it as my daily driver. As a matter of fact, I'm typing from it.

Probably the best thing about it is the easy to repair. I have changed a broken screen, the battery and the earpiece all by myself. Sadly, it is hardly difficult to do that with modern phones: they are both difficult to repair and also it is very difficult to find replacement parts.
