    Black bars at top and bottom of video

    I'm guessing it's a mixture of aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9, etc) and resolution (720x540, 1920X1080, etc) as these settings affect the screen size and image size. So maybe your footage is shot at different settings and/or your render/upload settings are different in the clips. Or maybe you zoomed...

    Resolution - what am I missing?

    Ahh, got it. I see when I open it in editing software the RAWs are showing as 4k x 3k. Thanks.

    Resolution - what am I missing?

    A JPEG image with my P4 is 4000x3000 and around 5MB. A RAW/DNG image is 960x720 and 23MB. The RAW image captures more information hence the bigger file size but why is it smaller and presumably I'll lose detail if I want to include it in a 4K timeline as a still. Or am I missing something?

    Newcastle, NSW

    Hi there, any tips for flying around Nobby's Beach - when there's no people around. OpenSky suggests it's clear and just out of reach from Williamtown and city helibase. The restricted airspace doesn't seem to cover drone heights. There's a coastal VFR but I have my radio to keep clear of...

    Get telemetry on videos

    My Huawei P10+ has screen recording as a built-in option. If I was using another Android, I'd use the AZ Recorder app.

    Australian drone pilot fined AUD$7750 for flying illegally

    Not to mention the Aussie backpackers in Iran who bypass Go and straight to jail! Very sad but the ultimate reminder that you need to follow the rules.

    Joystick-like controller

    The review didn't rate the controller, if we're talking about the same product. "New" is not relevant to the discussion; it is what it is. Not my opinion and you can judge the review on its merits. Whether you like the product depends on your particular needs. I was merely trying to populate...

    Joystick-like controller

    Not sure if it's the same model but this review seems to suggest it sucks.

    What am I doing wrong with my drone for Shutterstock?

    I know nothing about stock footage but I can see props in the lake footage.

    Old problem for Neewer issue

    The filters come with a flyer from Neewer saying they guarantee customer satisfaction. It's true! They asked for a clip to show the problem and after that they gave me an immediate refund, no fuss. Good for them. Can't say the same about Google and my problems with the Pixel 2XL, but that's...

    Old problem for Neewer issue

    Thanks. I was kinda trying to avoid that because it would suggest recalibrating every time I changed the brand of my filters, which could be after 5 mins if I happened to choose the wrong one or the light changes etc. I think these should work out of the box (as advertised) and not require...

    Old problem for Neewer issue

    This thread touched on the potential heavy problems of the Neewer ND filters. I've just tried them on my P4 and the gimbal is having the jitters. Doesn't happen, needless to say, with my PolarPro ones. Any tips? Thanks

    US regs - people and flight crew

    In Oz, too (Sydney). Whilst we have our particular 30m lateral proximity rule, I would have thought the over fly rule would be universal in any regulated country. Interested in the differential rules in the US and that hobbyists, it appears, have more latititude. In Oz, a hobbyist drone pilot...
