Thanks. Gonna work my way through all the possible issues, and if not -- well, time to pack it and ship it.....

Sorry by rotate around I meant tilting it on each side and upside down. I successfully completed the IMU calibration. But after that the gimbal stopped working. Just wondering if anyone has had any issues with the gimbal stop working after an IMU calibration. Thanks.

If you want it to look “cinematic” then 24fps at 1/50 shutter and ND filters to get the aperture into the sweet spot.

So this past weekend I’m going to do some filming and when I started up my P4P it told me I had to do a IMU calibration. So I followed the steps and rotated the drone around as it instructed. And when I was done I got it ready to fly but noticed the camera wasn’t facing straight. When I went...

Thanks. I'll be making a 2k DCP for festivals when the final film is done. And you must be very sensitive to frame stutter. I don't see anything other than the normal 24 fps cinema motion in the footage from either the camera or the drone.

When you have a chance, look at the trailer in the link I posted, I'm curious what you think -- you have way more drone experience than I do...

While I agree that the studios aren't using P4P's, I'm using my P4P intercut with Red Epics and Arri Alexas and it blends pretty seamlessly if you do it right....

Again, I haven't done much experimentation with D-Log vs. Cinelike, etc., but the 24 fps and 1/48 shutter is absolutely necessary for my footage. Which means the ND filter is also absolutely necessary. Again, I'm not filming Drone footage, but scenes for movies. Which has very different...

Yeah, I should have mentioned that my example was strictly for shooting narrative film. That footage looks great, but wouldn't work for my purposes.

I can't speak for D-Log, but if you are shooting a narrative film project, you need to shoot at 23.98 with 1/48 shutter if you want the footage to look like film. If you are shooting a video project that isn't meant to look like film, then yes, you can use whatever shutter rate you want.

I haven't tried cinelike yet. I know several people have had bad experiences with dlog, but I did a quick test with it and it was fine for my needs. The rest of the footage was shot log with an Arri Alexa and I wanted to do everything possible to make the footage match. That said, for all I...

I am no drone or dp expert -- just a filmmaker who is starting to use drone shots in his films -- so I can't tell you if my settings are the best or not, but I'm really happy with what I've been getting and this link will show the trailer for the movie I'm shooting right now, including the drone...

Beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!

Thanks! Now that I've done some filming, I have a lot of ideas for how to improve the drone work and get many more interesting shots when I film the rest of the movie.
