We are always open to specific ideas about how to make Autopilot more approachable and usable, but we are also adamant about providing next-level functionality to professionals that are willing to take the learning curve. Having said that, we disagree with the premise of this thread. Why does it have to be an either/or thing? The reality is all apps have their own strengths and having many tools in your bag is a good thing, especially considering the price relative to the rest of your equipment.
Well - this thread makes sense to me - there is no point me getting to learn Autopilot which is complex only to then have to end up using another app for something else and learning that as well.
I dont have the time to keep nuances of each app in my head.. Im too busy.
I want the best compromise in one app but would then consider something else for something very specific.
Like for example panorama.
I have just tried the Waypoint feature on the beta of the Autopilot - I didnt watch any vids on how to do it. Purposely.
I found just playing around Auto to be very powerful - thinking how id like to customise the waypoints.
It had very useful features to allow you to preview the flight path and watch when the camera would transition focus points.
I added waypoints moved them around - added new focus point apart from the default first one - moved them around - easily deformed and reformed my flight path and some basic mess around with focus strategy.
It all made sense really and with a bit of practice would make 2nd nature sense.
I didnt know that I could actually draw my path to a respect until after I watched '
2nd2non' video
Which then makes the waypoint beta even easier
The complex stuff on top is just to make the video cooler
Im away from the bird for xmas so its good im playing around with it before trying it for real
I have a question about the camera settings - i believe im correct in saying that these are defaulted from the go app - and cant be changed in Autopilot.
I would like to have this feature so they can be changed - as I shoot in M mode always so i like to change things around using the shutter dial on the fly so to speak.
