    Litchi: mission startup prediction ...

    That really depends on how long I take to set up in the Go 4 app. Typically it is very small because I've gotten fast at the initial set up. For me, it's worth the small amount of battery to know how many satellites I have active and all the other camera settings are correct before I start...

    Advice and thoughts on upgrading

    The first question I would ask is how good does the video need to be? Are you shooting projects that need ProRes or Raw or is H.264/H.265 good enough? If you need ProRes or RAW then the Inspire 2 is your solution. If H.264/H.265 is good enough then you can consider the P4P or Mavic 2 Pro, but...

    Litchi: mission startup prediction ...

    I've flown many Litchi missions and my experience is that same as stated above with the drone flying directly to the first waypoint. I did notice that Litchi added the option for turning on obstacle avoidance during flight and while I have it active, I haven't tested it to see how it works in...

    Where does this fit in with drone laws?

    I fly in the US, but apparently, drone laws are being updated in Canada as of June 2019. Here's a link to the overview. Hope this helps you answer your question. https://uavcoach.com/canada-new-drone-laws/

    Filters

    I'll PM you with a link to a video I did on how to determine how many stops of ND you need. It's basic, but it might help get you started with NDs.

    Pictures

    I've PM'd you with a link to an article I wrote about how to get better pictures with aerial photography. It has links to other related articles as well. I hope that it is helpful.

    P4P camera problem

    My experience is when my photographs get grainy is when I've unexposed them and I also find DJI cameras can be a bit noisy as well. Your challenge here is that you have a very bright sky and a dark house. If you expose for the house, the sky will be very bright or even blown out (overexposed)...

    Newby display questions about Phantom 4 pro V2.0

    For me, I like to use the largest screen I can get away with mounting on the remote so I can see more detail and framing better. I use this sunshade and mount for my iPad 9.7 pro and it works really well. Here a link to the website for the P4P drone. For me, it was worth the price to have...

    Still photo bad quality from P4P+ camera

    It would be helpful if you'd upload an example photo so I can see what you are seeing. My screens may look slightly different than yours, but it should be pretty close. Since I'm not sure what your skill level is, I went through all the steps. There are lots of ways to set up to shot photos...

    Is't really this that bad?

    I'm a commercial drone photographer and videographer. Being able to put my camera in the air opened things up in a way I couldn't have imagined. It gave me a whole new perspective with the ability to quickly move to a thousand feet away and hundreds of feet in the air. I can move in 360 degrees...

    Litchi or DJi Go 4

    I would agree with what is being said. Go 4 app is my choice for flying and photography as well. I also use Litchi if I'm wanting to repeat a series of photographs at specific locations for comparison purposes, as a mission. At a later date, I can then go back to that location, load the mission...

    AirMagic Drone Photography App?

    Here's from an earlier post. I've just finished beta testing the latest release of AirMagic and I'm very happy with the results. The AI they are using to enhance the skies, show details and boost colors does a very good job. It is very automated with the ability to apply styles and to adjust how...
