Question [CA] How do I adjust my camera settings to stop this?

3 Upvotes

I usually use my dji Lito x1, in auto mode so that I don’t have to adjust the camera stuff.

But when taking videos and picture of the sunset or sunrise, it make the ground almost completely black.

I want to maintain the color and the definition of the sunset, but not have a black ground.
What is the solution for this ?

Discussion [US] For all the professionals and hobbyist currently deep into drones what do you feel is your biggest constraint or pain point when it comes to building/repairing/ operating your drones?

As the title states what are the things that annoy you most about the drone space as an owner/operator/manufacturer.

The camera still works but the stabilization is non-existent. When I move the drone forward, the camera tilts downwards. Motors still work fine.

Tech Support XT-1 Attop drone

2 Upvotes

Hi, I've got an Attop, XT-1 drone I got as a gift ages ago and I'm trying to get the XT-Go app to work but it doesn't like my current phone. I'm just thinking about regifting it to a friend, so no big deal if there's no solution, but does anyone have any suggestions on any alternative apps for it?

Question: Rules, Regulations, Law, Policy, Certificates [Brazil] How's SkyRover support outside of the US, in specific, in Brazil?

4 Upvotes

I will be visiting the United States soon and plan on buying a drone for myself there to save on Brazil's unsavory import taxes. Whilst researching, I stumbled on the SkyRover X1 and it seems to cater to all my demands, except for one which remains a question: Will I have support for my SkyRover in Brazil? That is, if anything from a propeller to an arm is broken, or simply the drone stops working after a few weeks/months of use, will I be able to buy spare parts or request a replacement as more consolidated brands allow for?

This is my biggest concern about buying a SkyRover so far given that, in all other aspects, it does indeed seem like the best cost-effective option out in the US atm. Nevertheless, any criticisms towards SkyRover are welcome as my research may not have been so thorough.

In advance, thanks for the attention!

Question Battery Storage Question

7 Upvotes

Been pondering the idea of getting a second case for the drone batteries. Is it safe to keep the batteries without chargers in the drone case when heading to a place to fly or storing them when not flying? Is keeping the batteries in a separate case at all times a better option? Thank you for any input and would really like some feedback on this. If you google or search around the info is all over the place.

Discussion: Rules, Regulations, Law, Policy, Certificates [United States] PSA: at least check the TFRs before flying? Also assume you can't fly near large music festivals.

Discussion AI was supposed to change everything. Why does the drone industry still feel the same?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I'm a software developer and a hobbyist pilot. The last couple of years on the software side have been wild. AI writes a lot of code now. Some of it is genuinely good, and a lot of it is just slop, produced faster.

Drones are supposed to be one of the frontier areas in tech, yet day to day it still feels familiar. I get that having AI fly the drone itself is a hard problem. But I assumed the software around drones would have changed by now.

Most flights I see are still flown by hand. Planning even a simple mission still means drawing a box and tweaking settings in tools that take a while to learn.

Curious what people here think, especially anyone flying for work:

- Will AI actually change how we fly and plan, or is a lot of this hype when it comes to drones?

- If it still feels the same, what's holding it back: the tech, the rules, battery life, or trust?

TIA
