Wish you said a bit more in your summation at the end...Like would You buy it, who Should buy it, is it louder than a regular 5" quad, did you get a full 22 minutes flight time, how fast is it...that kind of stuff maybe .

    That's right. In 16:9 you can get hdr, and in 4:3 you can get a superview non-linear stretch. There's an open FX plug-in for gyroflow you can use in daVinci resolve free. With studio it's basically plug and play, with free you need to create the gyroflow file in the stand-alone app first and then apply the plug-in in the effects and finally link the gyroflow file in the plugin.

    Seriously considering selling my 5 in freestyle quad and all my cinewhoops and toothpicks for something like this. Seems much more reliable and all in one solution. Running dji vista and elrs on all quads, all 6s. I use most of this stuff for cinematic stuff such as indoor flythroughs, would give me extra piece of mind flying indoors with all those sensors

    It's been an impressive experience so far, but keep in mind that if you have an incident then you will be down a week to 10 days while DJI gets it repaired or replaced. DJI offers a premium service option for faster turnaround. I dropped it from a very high tree and my drone is currently in DJIs repair center (yes, I know that escalated quickly 😅) and I'm not able to make videos for another week more than likely... It almost makes sense to keep 2 drones if you are busy.

    I just wrote my Avata 2 off the same way you crashed first time; I bumped the ground on a split-s, got the error message so went to flip it into normal mode to fly it back and it rolled and tanked into the ground. I thought it was my mistake first for hitting the mode button not emergency stop but after seeing it happen to you and subsequently you flipping it into normal from manual without it crashing now I’m not so sure whether it’s a glitch 🤔 At least yours didn’t break!

At the moment i comeback to my country (Venezuela, Latinamerica) should my dron put in FCC Mode automatically? Or should i do it "manually"?
