I don’t have much footage of the Autumn leaves 🍂 but I do have some unique spots of city traffic.

Disclaimer: All necessary certifications and an approved flight plan were done to produce this video and I’m not in North America or the EU. Also yes we can fly over traffic at less than 5m/sec. Although I’m at .5m/sec. and above the median.

I’m running into a frustrating exposure/brightness flickering issue with my DJI Action camera mounted on a 7-inch quad, and I’m hoping someone who has run into this can point me in the right direction.

The Issue: During flight, the video records with a rapid, continuous exposure/brightness flicker (almost like a fast strobe effect). It looks like auto-exposure constantly hunting between slightly overexposed and underexposed frames.

Key Context & Setup:

• Drone: GEPRC Moz7 V2 (7-inch long-range quad)
• Camera: DJI Action camera mounted in a standard TPU mount on the top deck
• Power: Running on the camera’s internal battery (no external BEC, balance leads, or power cables connected)
• Propellers: Props are not in the field of view

Camera Settings (All Fully Locked Manually):

• Resolution & FPS: 4K @ 60fps (1/1 aspect ratio, Wide FOV)
• Shutter Speed: Locked at 1/200
• ISO: Locked at 100
• Aperture & White Balance: Fixed / Manual
• Color Profile: D-Log M 10-bit (Enhanced Bitrate)
• Stabilization: OFF (RockSteady / HorizonSteady explicitly disabled)

The Catch / Diagnostic Fact:

• The flickering happens only when the drone is flying/vibrating.
• On the exact same drone, during the exact same flight, my DJI O4 Pro Air Unit footage is completely clean (no jello, shift, or exposure flickering at all).

Has anyone resolved this on a 7-inch setup? How did you damp or isolate the mount to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

According to DJI's documentation, DJI Fly v1.16.0 and later requires a connected microphone to start RTMP livestreaming on the RC 2.

But what if I only want to transmit video without audio?

I'm trying to find a reliable workaround without buying or carrying a physical microphone.

Has anyone successfully tested any of these approaches?

1. Using a USB-C audio adapter that registers as a microphone input without an actual microphone attached.
2. Using a smartphone as a virtual USB or Bluetooth microphone.
3. Emulating a USB Audio Class microphone that provides silent audio.
4. Starting an RTMP stream with video only, without DJI Fly enforcing microphone detection.

My goal is simply to send the drone's RTMP video feed to my own receiving application.

I'm particularly interested in solutions that work on a stock DJI RC 2 without rooting or modifying the controller.

Has anyone found a working solution? If so, could you share the hardware, firmware version, and steps?

It would also be great if DJI could make audio optional for RTMP livestreaming.

This is being recorded inside an event local, standing about 2 meters away from the mic.

Woke up early this Friday to capture the sunrise over Greiz in the Vogtland region of Thuringia, Germany.

The sky absolutely exploded with color, but only for a few minutes. Moments like these make every early alarm and every kilometer on the road worth it.

Autumn is currently at its peak here, and I honestly can’t get enough of these colors.

How’s autumn looking where you live?

Captured this beautiful creation on my most recent trip to Iceland this past summer. 🇮🇸

I had a friend record a wedding ceremony yesterday using my phone and some wireless mini mics.
She may not have gotten them synced up correctly, because the video I have on my phone has no sound. Not even from the phones own mic

Can anyone guess what may have gone wrong? Is there a way to access any audio that may have been recorded elsewhere? This is… quite the bummer

Iceland and Alaska

Have this busy intersection close to my home. There’s also a lot of street vendors to get some street meat. 😋

Disclaimer: although the video looks to be over traffic. The street is along a curve and I’m in a vacant lot to the left bottom of the frame which has been cropped out. I’m using a zoom to get the desired effect of being over traffic. The cropped image also is more narrow than the normal portrait image.

Looking for some advice on what may be causing this issue with jittery footage. (Pay attention to the roof line). Someone said to replace the props (which I did) and it’s still the same. Gimbal stabilizers all look fine as well. It’s a Mavic 3 classic. It’s more noticeable when I’m orbiting or flying horizontally.

This is a 60 fps 4K clip. Shutter 120. ISO 100. Variable aperture. Also using ND’s. DLog M.

I’ve been flying for years and I’ve never run into this issue.

I was getting some footage from a soccer field but when I gained some altitude and turned 180 away from my target. I found the entry/exit point of the toll road. Unfortunately it was a bit windy this night and was getting the high wind warning multiple times.

Hi looking for some advice I have a DJI mini 2 and when I first got it it was working really well and I had no problems with it at all then all of a sudden the controller now just looses signal to the dron even when it is right in front of me does anyone know why

Hey im a first year student in Romania Bucharest at university politehnica, i really want to get for myself soon ( im trying for christmas) a avata 2 combo with the G3 goggles. Realistically what wouls be my chanches for dji to offer me a discount if i email them about it?

Is this a good setup? If so, can you tell me what I will need for good engine/ exhaust notes and talking?
