Mavic mini- flight modes, auto/manual exposure

Tavis Hord
Would be nice to be able to switch between the 3 flight modes and toggle between auto and manual camera exposure without the need to switch to DJI fly app because once in DJI fly, Dronelink camera feed locks up.

    Isn't there a hardware switch for the flight mode? Also, it has to be in P for the automation to work.

    On the exposure, you can change this in the MENU.

    The mini does not have a hardware switch for flight modes. You tap the screen. Would be nice to be able to switch to sport mode before or after missions complete. As well as cinematic mode.

    You can’t change the exposure in your app on the mini. It doesn’t work. You must go to DJI fly and change it, force quit DJI fly and go back to dronelink and then you’ll be in the other mode.

    Other things:

    Would be nice if the map on bottom left moved with the drone so you don’t have to hunt down where you are on the map.

    From my tests so far an orbit is pretty jerky on the mini regardless of the speed I set.

    With the above fixes (the jerky motion aside) you could pretty much use dronelink as the go to app and not use DJI fly

    Apologies, but Eric has our test unit right now.

    If the exposure settings don't work that is a DJI UX SDK bug.

    We have follow on the map implemented if you switch to 3D, but it takes even more processing power.

    What mobile device are you using?

    Same issue here with the exposure changes and manual exposure on IOS iPhone 11 Pro Max

    iPhone 11 Pro Max. I will reconnect again and confirm that I cannot toggle between auto and manual exposure once my battery is recharged.

    From what I saw on the last flight was when I tap the exposure lock icon it does highlight during the tap but it does not toggle and the iso slider etc remain disabled and greyed out.

    I then jumped over to DJI fly app and took the drone out of exposure lock and switched back to dronelink and now the exposure lock icon was in the unlocked state and the iso slider etc was now enabled.

    Also, not sure if you know this or not but once I launch the DJI fly app and connect, dronelink loses the camera feed but everything else seems to remain operating as it should.
