Thanks, turns out it was very simple!

I tried pointing the drone at a very bright light source and yes, it showed up on the feed. It looks like the camera settings changed by itself from auto to manual for some reason. I wanted to play around with the camera settings a bit when we just got the drone but couldn't find the settings in...

Hi Loz, thanks for the reply. It's a Phantom 4 Pro, and I'm using two apps:the DJI Go 4 app and Precision Flight. I'm experiencing the same problem with both apps. I'm using a Samsung S6 smartphone to fly the drone. Yes I can fly to the drone and can also connect to it. I'm just not getting a...

Hi, I am using android.

Hi all, I'm not getting any feed from our drone's camera; the screen is pitch black and any photographs I try to take with it comes out black as well. This has happened a few times before (usually if I have not used the drone for a few weeks) but a firmware update always seemed to resolve the...

Hi doktorinjh, Sorry for taking so long to get back to you; things have been rather busy on my side. Can I still send you the individual pictures from my failed orthomosaic? Regards.

Hi Doktorinjh, I would be happy if you can take a look at it. However, the file is too large to attach here. Can I send it to you in some other way? (Google Drive maybe?)

Thanks Meta4, I will keep that in mind. I am starting to suspect that the low altitude together with a too high flight speed might have been a problem. Unfortunately the app I'm using (PrecisionFlight) does not seem to give me the option of selecting a flight speed. I think I'll try a different...

Hi drvrbobob, I do not think so, I don't see any shadows like that in any of my photographs.

Hi Ataim, thanks for the response. The first practice flight was at 100 meters while I set the altitude for the second (failed) attempt at 45, so it did not behave in an unexpected manner. I flew at a speed of about 6-7 m/s and the camera was pointed directly downwards. I haven't found a...

Hi I was recently given the task to create a orthomosaic using our Phantom 4 Pro of a rock outcrop in South Africa for a geological research project. In preparation for this task I downloaded the Precision Flight app and went for a practice session the weekend before. After the flight I...

Thanks everyone! Glad to be here.

Hello from South Africa! We recently purchased a Phanotm 4 Pro for geological mapping and will be mainly used to make orthomosaics. My first few attempts have been both promising and troubling, and I can definitely use some help! Will post my first attempts soon!
