    Dedicated PolarPro Drone Trekker V2.0 backpack thread.

    Resurrecting an old thread here - can anyone tell me if the P4P polystyrene box that it comes in would fit inside this case? I realise that's overkill for most scenarios, but it could be useful for air travel. That bit of extra protection could be just what's needed if you are even slightly...

    Whats everyone using for H.365 video editing?

    Who are you referring to here? Me? My proxy suggestion is not nonsense. Why do you think that Adobe have just made proxy editing their major update go Premiere in the last 6 months? Proxy editing is just a process of making interim files that you cut with, so that the picture always plays...

    Whats everyone using for H.365 video editing?

    It's one of the video formats that the p4p records in. Better compression and therefore supposedly better picture quality, but very hard to edit natively unless either a very fast computer or using proxies (as above) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Whats everyone using for H.365 video editing?

    I have done native editing on various systems and it can be fine. However as general advice, going with a proxy workflow is better. Mpeg4 (h264/5) is not a format designed for editing - it is designed for linear playback and streaming. Something like prores will not take long to create and will...

    Whats everyone using for H.365 video editing?

    Yes, create prores or dnx proxies, edit with those and then use the source files for the final output. Even if your machine will play h265 natively, it won't cope once you've added any LUTs or FX. Proxy/offline editing is used in every feature film work flow, even when the most powerful...

    Why no folding props on P4P.... or all Phantoms for that matter?

    I too have noticed, from a 'resilience test' video of the Mavic, that the folding props potentially offer more resistance to breakage than normal ones, when hitting an object. It's not about saving the price of a broken prop - it's about the quad being able to rebound off a wall with the props...

    autopilot 'cruise' query/request...

    Hi, not sure if this is the place to ask or not, but i have a P3 so figured I'd start here... I've used the Autopilot app a fair bit, and one thing i'd like it to do is be able to 'take over' flying once I have the quad on the correct course/speed, without it stopping first. My request is not...

    P3 on a plane - in hard case or backpack in cabin?

    ok so a little update... Am now back from Australia, which was amazing. Am SOOO glad I took the Phantom - the places we went to film were absolutely stunning, and I got some incredible footage and photos. I'll put some up here as a sample... Flight was fine. I went for the hard case in the...

    P3 on a plane - in hard case or backpack in cabin?

    Funny the different advice you get in different areas. Advice on the "how to do long haul with young children" websites is to get on last! :confused: Well I'll see how I get on with my landing gear removal and see where I end up. The manfrotto d1 is a pretty sturdy bag - amsure it would offer...

    P3 on a plane - in hard case or backpack in cabin?

    just thought I could possibly detach the landing gear (and gimbal). That would probably mean the bag would be 'squashable' to their measly 20cm depth - it's an option worth looking into I think.

    P3 on a plane - in hard case or backpack in cabin?

    Thanks for all the advice people. As I've already said, I don't think I'll be let on as it is too large. I'm flying Emirates - it's 1 bag, 55x38x20 - so I already KNOW that it's too large. For everyone saying they'd take it in the cabin - would you will do this if you knew it was too large and...
