    So I got ticketed by Federal Police Officers...(video included)

    Given the apparent anti-drone climate, I think I would look for a different hobby if I was living in North America..

    Sorry guys, ended up selling locally.

    high noise/artifacts in stills raw or jpeg

    Agree with what's been said above -- F11 is going to produce a lot of diffraction softening your image. Ideally, you want to shoot somewhere between F2.8 and F5.6. There's no real reason to have a smaller aperture when shooting stills. Aside from that, the images you've posted don't look...

    high noise/artifacts in stills raw or jpeg

    Is that at 100% magnification, Lee? It looks kinda grainy, but not in a way I would normally associate with digital noise (i.e. there's no random color noise that I can see, it's more.. speckled. Got any other examples? What are your noise reduction sliders set at in Lightroom?

    high noise/artifacts in stills raw or jpeg

    I guess it depends what you're comparing it to, Lee, and what your expectations are. I mean, it's still a 1" sensor. It's going to be considerably noisier than a full frame or medium format camera. Iso 100 on the p4p would be roughly equivalent to ISO 800 on a full frame camera in terms of...

    FS: Phantom 4 - $650 (or $550 w/o battery)

    I am willing to ship worldwide at the buyer's expense. Paypal is also ok if you cover the transfer fee (0.5% for bank balance, 3.9% for credit card). In terms of shipping, it should be roughly $40 to the US or Europe for Air Mail w/ tracking. You can get the exact figure by checking out the...

    After crash, continue flying, or send in for repairs?

    Just to update you all -- I've flown some 50+ flights since the crash with no issues other then some gimble fickleness (but that may have nothing to do with the crash, phantoms are nutorious for not holding a straight horizon..) Anyway, I'll send it in to DJI for a check and possible...

    FS: Phantom 4 - $650 (or $550 w/o battery)

    SOLD A couple of months old, has about 50 flights on it. Comes with all the standard DJI stuff and one battery. Selling after upgrade to Phantom 4 Pro. Can hand-deliver in Shenzhen, or Hong Kong. If you want it elsewhere, I can also ship it for $550 without a battery since lithium batteries...

    After crash, continue flying, or send in for repairs?

    My P4P lost a propeller yesterday and fell from about 40 meters into a tree. Battery was ejected upon landing. On initial examination, damage seems blessedly minor, limited to a chip on one of the landing legs and a very small bulge of the shell along one of the arms. I did a hover test...

    RAW is processed, JPG is not

    Interesting. I've noticed the same with the X5R and Davinci. Have you tried opening the files in ACR to compare? I wonder if perhaps we're not being misled by DJI Go's histogram, which is most likely based on the h264 proxy. Perhaps DJI is deliberatly lifting the shadows for the h246/h265/jpegs.

    P4P, can we squeeze 14 stops of dynamic range from a raw file?

    Yes, I'll try to film some tests along those lines next time I'm out. I suspect dlog may turn out a bit cleaner simply because of the way the DJI's video encoding seems to lead to extreme macro blocking in the shadows below 10 IRE.

    P4P, can we squeeze 14 stops of dynamic range from a raw file?

    I think the other potential issue with dlog is low light scenes -- I've posted about it in another thread, but even at ISO 100, dlog footage has quite noticable shadow in low light (probably because the shadows are being boosted a fair bit).
