    Wanting to do nightlights

    Perhaps that is my issue then as I am generally importing to FCPX and notice considerable playback and quality difference with mov v MP4. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Wanting to do nightlights

    I recommend shooting in mov and cutting phone completely out of equation as well. Mov because it is less compression than MPEG. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Wanting to do nightlights

    The DJI go app is ok for reviewing footage but anything beyond that for processing is not very good if you want even minimal editing/grading/etc. in my opinion. Half the fun is editing the work and post. I am still a novice but enjoy the challenge of post production as equal to the challenge of...

    Wanting to do nightlights

    I would argue that even if the strict definition of hyperlapse is applied it would still qualify. What is a video but a series of images strung together and reviewed at a high rate of speed. The hard part of traditional hyperlapse (i.e. Moving tripod a set difference while maintaining focus on...

    Wanting to do nightlights

    Hyperlapse does a phenomenal job of stabilizing the video. Much better than the native filters in FCPX. Also I did not add any noise filters. I bumped the saturation a bit but that was about the only grading in FCPX ( I shoot in log color and turn saturation down manually on cam settings as I...

    Wanting to do nightlights

    It is 4K video at Iso 800 or 1600 (depending on which shot) with the shutter speed opened pretty far up. Processed in Microsoft hyperlapse and Final Cut Pro x. As far as the flight nothing too special. Just slow movements as I knew I wanted to speed it up. It is amazingly stable considering I...

    Wanting to do nightlights

    Some of my favorite images are from at night but it is definitely nerve racking. Here is a compilation hyperlapse of some of my night flights. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Dji nd filters

    I am using the 6 filter polar pro set and am impressed with their quality. The threads fit nicely and I like that vs using gels, and the glass is of very nice quality. Plus they are very light vs some other options so no counterweight needed on the gimbal. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Who's actually filming and Editing in 4k

    I agree with a lot of the sentiment here and prefer to shoot in 4K. The flexibility it gives for editing is great if I want to crop a video I can do that and still maintain 1080p, effectively giving me zoom capability. If I don't plan to crop I'll publish in native 4K. It looks GREAT on my 5k...

    Dynamic home point in autopilot

    No one else has experience with dynamic home point? I would think it'd be a really common need for anyone wanting to do follow over long distance? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Dynamic home point in autopilot

    Yes. It is an iPad mini 4. It has Gps and barometer. It follows the tablet fine. The home point is just not dynamic. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Dynamic home point in autopilot

    Ok thanks. That should solve the follow problem. But I would like dynamic home to update as I plan to use on a boat and returning to original home point will be bad news. Has anyone got that functionality to work properly? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Dynamic home point in autopilot

    It is supposed to auto update every 1 sec in autopilot. There must be some setting I need to change in DJI go so the aircraft gets the change and it will work in autopilot. I just don't know what it is ! Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Dynamic home point in autopilot

    I recently downloaded autopilot and have been testing it out. Most of it works great though I am still adjusting to the new information display vs DJI Go. One issue I am having: I have dynamic home point enabled in the autopilot app but when I move it does not update the home point. So in...

    Quality ND Filters

    Have read a lot of good things about polarpro's glass. Have a 6 filter kit on the way - hoping it meets expectations. It isn't cheap but I prefer glass to gel and like that they thread on. DJI Phantom 3 Professional Filter 6-Pack Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app
