    New P4P Gimbal Drift? (Video)

    I’ve given up on it ever being fixed for the P4P. I’ve had three of them now, all exhibited essentially the same problem. As others have noted, it’s not always super obvious, I suspect many people simply never notice it and for many types of photo and video it might not ever be an issue. But...

    P4P Pano Mode Review | tl;dr I'm impressed

    So I tried out Photoshop CC 2018 3d pano mode last night. TLDR it was not a success primarily due to unacceptable performance. I’m running it on a high end workstation rig so it shouldn’t be that, tho it was a very large file. With a 1.2gb PSB it took nearly 20 minutes to apply it into a...

    P4P Pano Mode Review | tl;dr I'm impressed

    Thanks for sharing the tip @AndersGB ! I’ll definitely take a look at it. I’ve had some trials and tribulations with getting the top filled nicely without a seam so anything helps. Still have to try out using a filter with photoshop CC 2018 pano mode, too, and see if that works. :) /me adds to...

    P4P Pano Mode Review | tl;dr I'm impressed

    PTGui is complicated. It’s incredibly powerful. But it has a learning curve. And this is coming from someone who is a power user of most software - it took me a while to really get my arms around it. An image being put in the middle means it didn’t match control points. Under advanced mode you...

    P4P Pano Mode Review | tl;dr I'm impressed

    Thanks re work. [emoji5] And re dronepan. I’m in that group but haven’t tried out the app in months. I’ll go check out the latest updates. Does it use the pano API? I have shots hundreds of panos by hand but it’s so much slower - that’s what got me so excited about the api. A 10 fold speed up...

    P4P Pano Mode Review | tl;dr I'm impressed

    PTGui is fantastic normally, but I've had a really hard time w/ the 34 shot pattern. But the problem is really in the fact that the gimbal goes too far up so most of the upward shots end up being completely sky, so there really isn't anything to stitch on. When I shoot super low to the ground it...

    Great pano, feel like I could just walk out into the frame.

    P4P Pano Mode Review | tl;dr I'm impressed

    Awesome!! Great sphere shot. :) I’ll have to give ICE a run with the 34 shot sphere pano. PTGui has had some trouble stitching DJIs 34 shot pattern unfortunately. Otherwise I use PTGui with great success. For hand shot spheres and panos or other auto pano modes Lightroom and PTGui have been...

    P4P Pano Mode Review | tl;dr I'm impressed

    Unfortunately it looks like the pano mode was only added to the Pro not the Pro+. I say that from searching for a few mins, can’t find anywhere that says it was definitely released for the Pro+. They are the same bird (unlike the advance) so in theory I would think it should work if you connects...

    Autopilot flight plans missing

    FWIW Litchi has gotten pretty good with waypoint missions. When I first got them both about a year ago Litchi was okay. AP can still do things you simply can’t do wkth Litchi or any dji sdk app, but for waypoint missions I usually just end up using Litchi bc it’s a lot easier to build them on...

    Autopilot flight plans missing

    Yeah, Hangar bought the AP team last year. It was just a small dev team before. Unfortunately Hangar’s biz model seems targeted more at building a few single use consumer apps like Hangar 360 and then enterprise. I get it - the App Store is a broken economic model and creating quality consumer...

    Autopilot flight plans missing

    I just went to find release notes on a new version and saw this on their faq page Resolved: Autopilot in iOS 11 does not open Flight Plans properly Not sure if still applicable. Unfortunately I’ve lost a lot of hope for Autopilot since ya hat acquired them. Doesn’t seem to be a priority. Which...

    P4P Pano Mode Review | tl;dr I'm impressed

    Oh good idea on a content aware scale for the top of the sky, never thought to try that. I usually just do content aware fill which is “okay” but with lots of clouds it can be a pain. Thanks for the idea! Try a .psb for the PTGui export next time, too. They are a ton faster than a tiff I find...

    P4P Pano Mode Review | tl;dr I'm impressed

    Oh, thanks for confirming that the metadata is missing. I hadn’t checked that yet so good to know for sure. You’re welcome. I think have tested I think every permutation you mentioned and more. Glad my obsessing is useful to others, too. [emoji854] I love PTGui. It’s what I do all of my hdr...

    P4P Pano Mode Review | tl;dr I'm impressed

    I don't know if it will recognize it as a 360 or not if you share directly from the Go app, haven't tried that. There's a snippet of metadata needed in the file (as well as it being a 2:1 aspect ratio) for Facebook to recognize it as a photosphere. Most apps do inject it, though. Here's the...
