This problem has been reported in devices running version 1.5.9, so updating to the latest version should fix it. If you still have this problem, a quick fix should be to switch camera modes or completely close and open the app. When trying to alter the camera settings, nothing would happen at times.

phantom 4 is the flight app for the newest consumer drones, and as such requires devices to be running the latest firmware – iOS 11.0 or Android 6.0 or higher. More powerful devices and modern technology will always have their advantages when it comes to streaming high quality video while simultaneously transmitting data to and from your drone. Your drone user manual or packaging should tell you which app is the best for your drone. The big problem with drone footage is the shift in lighting every time your drone’s camera moves due to the automatic exposure the Mavic Mini defaulted to.

What’s more, the Air 2S handled the blustery conditions without an issue. You could see it fighting to correct itself in the wind, but the footage stayed nice and smooth thanks to the 3-axis gimbal. The company also says it uses something called ‘binocular zooming technology’ – which means the drone can pick up obstacles from further away and detect when they’re coming toward it. When you’re flying manually the Air 2S will stop if it senses an oncoming obstacle.
Imagine flying the drone as high as you can and you start moving forward. In your footage, you won’t be able to see the motion at all since your drone is so high up that there is nothing in the frame to signify that the drone is in fact moving. There are tons of flight patterns with varying difficulties and so be sure to experiment with angles, speed, and perspective before you arrive at a location. One of my favorite flight patterns is to fly straight while increasing altitude while the camera smoothly tilts down to focus on the subject as you can see from above. The DJI Mavic Mini uses enhanced WIFI signal to control the drone and unfortunately, it can be easily disrupted by interference. I found that flying in crowded areas like a city or in an area where there are thick trees high above me often led to signal loss which is always nerve-wracking.
