I’m having issues when trying to take photos while the drones in the air, mostly noticeable on night shots on long exposures, I line the shot up, focus and take the picture, the screen holds on the image it’s taking and when returning back the image jumps slightly to left or right, this then makes the picture taken blurred.
Now it seems like it’s yawing slightly in the air and you can even see it wondering when hovering with no picture taken.
I’ve redone all the calibrations, inc the stick calibration on the RC.
I went out again this morning to do some testing and when hovering it does eventually stop yawing either way.
I’ve only noticed this since the last update really and wondered if anyone else was having this problem.
See pic below and you can see with the lights dragging slightly and this is on a 2 second shutter speed.
If there’s even the slightest wind, your drone will struggle to take a 2 second exposure without drifting slightly. All I can suggest is taking shorter exposures and editing back at home on your computer.
Thank you for the replies, I took a low level pick yesterday morning below the street cables that I posted in drone pics, there was no noticeable breeze, I could even see the frozen fog falling in the car headlights, it did it then as well, I ended up holding the left stick to the left slightly to counteract it.
I do a lot of night shots and never noticed it before until just over a week ago when the last update was.
Very much doubt that wouldn’t be anything to do with the wind. That will be due to the stitching software.
Taken 360s in very windy conditions without issue.
I guess you refer to the image stitched by the drone? If so - have you tried stitching the images in other software? Following this is a good guide. How to create high resolution 360 Panoramics
MS ICE works well on Windows (it’s no longer supported or downloadable from MS - but installers can be found). Has served me well for 95% of the ones I’ve taken.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the cold temperatures we’ve been experiencing lately are having an effect on the electronics.
Even though the gyros and accelerometers in our drones look like little chips they are mechanical in construction and operation. I don’t know about the M3P but DJI claim my Mini2 has a minimum operating temperature of 0 Celsius, and we’ve had temperature below that recently.
Cheers for the reply @Nidge , I did actually look into this as yesterday’s temp was -7 deg but the DJI manual for the M3P says "The operating temperature of this product is -10° to 40° C”
I’m going to try putting the drone into position for the pic and let it settle down for a while to see if it stops moving, the grid lines on the display is the thing to watch on a set position in the picture.
More testing in the morning…………
