    EV says +2.0 and I have ordered ND8 filter

    Even between 6-7pm I have had to use ND16 filter on some days.. Around mid-day ND16 was insufficient based on how much of the sky is in the view..

    Sudden vibration during flight

    I have had similar due to a sudden gust of wind.. Another reason could be props hitting a big bug/insect in flight.. Did you notice any tiny red dots of blood on the props or body?

    P3A settings for best, straight out of the camera, video?

    Color profile "none" with sensitivity set to -2 should give good results out of the camera if no post processing is intended.. I have been shooting with profile "none" and I found the colors from video straight out of camera to be excellent (as seen by the naked eye).. I am using TacoRc ND...

    I need opinions about this product I found on Amazon.com

    this might be a good bet for you.. The padding/protection is pretty good in this.. http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-DSLR-Laptop-Backpack-interior/dp/B00CF5OGP8/ref=sr_1_10?s=amazonbasics&srs=10112675011&ie=UTF8&qid=1462192550&sr=8-10&keywords=backpack
