300 Ft above Ashburn VA last fall

well, 0* C = 32*F. If he's at 7*F, he is significantly below that :)

8-10 m is fairly close to what you can expect from rth. I would have claimed more like 5-8m from my exp, but close. Keep that in mind when marking an rth spot. However, I wouldn't actually use the rth feature to land my p3 on its own unless absolutely necessary. Use it to bring you bird back to...

Why would Apple maps be a concern? Autopilot uses its own maps doesn't it?

Welcome to the forum!

The first thing to try is to take it out of auto mode, use manual mode turn on your histogram and dial in an ISO and shutter speed that puts your peaks near the center of the histogram. With that kind of motion, you'll want your shutter speed as close to twice the frame rate as possible. I'd aim...

Neither of those articles are dealing with drones. Will a uv filter help a normal camera on the ground? There you have an argument. But should SOME filter (uv or otherwise) be used to protect a flying camera? Absolutely!! You are missing the point and making the wrong argument. Nobody here is...

It's helpful for photographers moving to video to simply think of fps as just individual photos. The fps can be set for various cinematic purposes to 24/30/60. Let's say we choose 30 fps. That's simply 30 individual photos taken in a single second. Now the ISO and shutter speed get applied to...

A quick reminder about forum etiquette for improved replies. It's always a good idea to mention the actual topic of your question in the subject. Just saying 'quick question' doesn't provide any context to the topic and many forums users who may have had good replies will skip the topic...

You said you used presets, does that mean you used auto? Do you know what settings the camera used (iso, fps, shutter speed)? Did you have histogram turned on and if so, where were the peaks? Can you maybe post a link to the video so we can take a look to help provide some suggestions? It's hard...

You're worried about the minimal amount of degradation a uv filter might produce on a point and shoot sensor? This isn't a full frame Nikon dSLR. Be sensible and put your uv filter back on for the love of God! That Camera is 500 ft in the air fly at 35 mph! It needs protection WAY more than your...

Davinci resolve is to color grading video what Photoshop is to editing photos. Now imagine Nikon bought photoshop and wanted to build their brand so they decided to make it free but didn't change anything. That exactly what happened with davinci resolve when black magic cameras bought them...

That's not how rth works. It's loaded on the bird itself. It can return to home even if you turn off your RC. But the other points are correct- trackers aren't for planned issues. They are insurance for the unplanned ones - fly aways, motor failures, hitting a tree branch or a bird, etc.

I've said this in a handful of threads now, but I'm still surprised by the number of P3 owners who haven't researched at least the very basics of photography. You bought a flying tripod, understanding the fundamental concepts of the exposure triangle will only make using it that much more...

How to pick an ND filter... With your std uv filter, switch to manual camera mode, choose iso100 and set your shutter speed to twice your frame rate (ie 1/60 for 30 fps). Now look at your EV value. The amount you're overexposed will tell you which ND filter to use. If it's EV +1 means use ND2...
