    Dronexpert gimbal for Phantom Vision

    My Dronexpert Gimbal arrived yesterday. Assembling took about 30 minutes. I still have not don't the 7e component of it yet, going to save that for later. Took it out back and flew it around.

    Theoretical Question

    Hello all. So knowing that we can turn the P2V rotors on and off by (left stick [bottom right] & right stick [bottom left]) ... Is it possible to send the P2V up really high like 1000 feet... cut the motor and turn it back on when it drops to 500 feet? Might give a cool camera angle of a free...

    My P2V Video Workflow and Sample Footage

    In my experience, the easiest way to bang 30fps into 24fps is the following... 1. Open Mpeg Streamclip http://www.squared5.com (It's Free) 2. Transcode to ProRes422 or to AVID native codecs / DVCPROHD (for avid) 3. Create a timeline (sequence) that has a frame rate of 24p. Look for 1080p 24p...

    Got a great shot today in Nashville, TN!

    Yes. I'm flying it from the black SUV on the left. And I'm inside the car. Still had full wifi and full transmitter. It was too cold to stand outside! BTW. I did put the lens correction on but I didn't like the way it looked. The edges are too blurry.

    Getting Very Comfortable with RTF (Return to Home)

    I've got about 50 flights with my Phantom Vision now and I've started getting extremely comfortable with RTH. (return to home). For the last 10 or so flights when I'm sick of flying I just shut off the transmitter, put the transmitter down and start packing up. A few minutes later my Phantom has...

    Moody cinematic footage shot with P2V

    Hi. Awesome footage. May I ask a couple questions? 1. What frame rate is this? 24p or 30p? 2. What color correction are you using in post? Are you warming it up? Your video looks sharper than mine with a more cinematic feel. 3. What aspect ration are you shooting at vs cropping. Looks like...
