    What Mirrorless or DSLR Cameras are you using to shoot video (any particular suggestions you might have)?

    While very few match perfectly straight out of camera, almost any of the current hybrid DSLR and mirrorless cameras can be effectively matched in post... Especially, since they will typically have a more capable sensor than that of the P4P. It would probably be best to focus (no pun intended) on...

    Thoughts about using an iPad 4 mini as a screen?

    I had the Plus (built-in display) controller with the 1st version of the P4P. But when I got the P4P V2.0, I went with the standard controller. And I got an iPad Mini 4 (WiFi version) to use with it. So far, I have really enjoyed using the iPad Mini 4. I use the sun shade with it for bright...

    DJI Care Refresh replaced my crashed Phantom 4 Pro V2.0!

    I hope they get yours replaced soon. I don't know if there has been any official announcement by DJI, but the retailers like B&H have them listed as "discontinued". Also, DJI didn't have a unit available for my replacement for a couple weeks. So, I really don't know for sure what they're going...

    DJI Care Refresh replaced my crashed Phantom 4 Pro V2.0!

    DJI replaced my crashed Phantom 4 Pro V2.0! With the recent discontinuation of the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0, I was quite anxious about the prospect of replacement through DJI Care Refresh. It took a few weeks and number of chewed fingernails, but, lo and behold, I finally got it! I wanted to share...

    My crash on the 1st flight of a brand new Phantom 4 Pro V2

    That is so true. Even without using a drone, I’m always wondering what I’ve missed every time I do any kind of photography or video project. Add to that the complications of a “flying camera,” and it really is a lot to juggle.

    My crash on the 1st flight of a brand new Phantom 4 Pro V2

    Wow, that's a very fortunate outcome! It sure is easy to overlook (or "underlook, as it were) even the most obvious dangers when we get focused on the flying/filming/photographing and not so much on the environment. I'm glad to hear you found a work around for the job, even if it was more of a...

    My crash on the 1st flight of a brand new Phantom 4 Pro V2

    Yessir, watching your Inspire 2 crash would be horrifying! The lessons can be expensive when it comes to drone crashes!

    My crash on the 1st flight of a brand new Phantom 4 Pro V2

    Oh, yeah... I saw that one, too. I subscribe to that guy's channel. Cool stuff. I like how he shows the good, the bad and the ugly with his drone missions. I think I found out about him from the Ken Heron channel.

    My crash on the 1st flight of a brand new Phantom 4 Pro V2

    Thank you. Yep, this was all me. I was pretty embarrassed about it, but I thought there would be a lot of people who could relate to it. Had to try to laugh to keep from crying, as they say.
