    Lots of haze in videos and photos?

    If you shoot in D-Cine you can then go into a film processor and adjust the Gamma down and slightly increase the color and lighting and that will wipe out the haze in the video I also found shooting in the D-log filter seemed to reduce the haze but I still tweaked the Gamma down. This also works...

    Using Litchi

    Thank you I will check it out! I think Litchi will gradually ascend and descend between waypoints with different elevations as well (some times).

    Using Litchi

    Thanks WTB; Is Auto Pilot an app? Is it easy to use? I have normally just taken photos for my clients and I am now getting into video - I suspect my skills will increase to the point where I will do this with the sticks, but I'm not there yet, but the customer requests are. If auto pilot is an...

    Using Litchi

    Thanks Pharm, I was going to do that. I watched a video where the pilot used the pencil to draw his path and then adjusted the waypoints around the POI and with many many waypoints it was very smooth.Thanks for the Link!

    Using Litchi

    Thanks guys, I'd agree because some times Litchi works and some times it doesn't I've been flying for a while and thought I found a silver bullet:(

    Using Litchi

    Hey Guys I started using Litchi and love it, I usually start my first waypoint at the front door of a home at 9 ft. then waypoint 2 is 20 feet back and rises to about 32 fee to give a nice shot of the home as the drone backs up front the front door to a higher elevation. I want to go to a second...

    Ground Station as a Filming Tool

    I have the same issue I think flying a big square path and simply changing the nose 90 degrees at each corner would work fine if done slowly. And I believe this can be done by pressing the pause button.

    iPad Ground Station nose direction - camera direction

    Great question John I have the same need, to shoot a home and circle it with a 360 with the camera facing the home at all times. I think the best work around is to do 4 fly-byes going sideways to capture the building. I know that using the ground station we can adjust the up and down feature...

    Camera shoots photos upside down

    Hello I purchased a second camera online because I noticed my camera was shooting video right side up but the pics were upside down. Now the new camera I just got in is doing the same thing. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks John

    Sold my Vision + bought FC 40

    If you Google FAA outlaws drones USA Today they have an article but I went to the hobby shop this weekend and he had the rules and told me that any FPV drone is illegal for hobby or commercial use. So we have to fly by sight now BUT there is not controlling authority to enforce this. The police...

    Sold my Vision + bought FC 40

    After the court ruling of no commercial use and no use for anyone using FPV I didn't want to risk $1,400 so I sold it and got a FC 40. I discovered the FC 40 is the same except the props, weight and of course the camera and software. I have been a little irritated by the wind blowing this light...

    New Phantom Vision Plus

    Hello I have been flying blade 180 quads for fun for a couple of years but just bought a Phantom Vision+ for taking aerial videos. I have an android and understand that the android will work with the quad but I would like to know if there is a Way Point program that I can use with the Android...
