Hello, everyone. I have a vision for a video and am looking for some suggestions for how to pull it off. The general idea is to climb within a fairly limited space in a eucalyptus stand, hopefully when sidelight is coming through light morning fog.
I'm flying a P4P Plus (the one with the controller with built-in screen). I've got about a 15' radius to work in without contacting any branches. Pretty tight. My plan is to start about 10' off the ground with the camera facing straight forward. I would then ascend slowly while very gradually moving the gimble down and hopefully ending up about 80' directly above my starting point with the gimble having moved so it is facing directly down by the time the shot ends. I may need to yaw some during the process depending upon what it all looks like once I'm up there. I've been practicing away from trees to try to get the knack of ascending with the left joystick while simultaneously using the gimble wheel (also on the left side of the controller) to gradually move the camera down. It's very tough to get a smooth gimble roll with the dial. I was thinking it best to do this in tripod mode so I can take advantage of the side sensors as well as the front and back. Given the tight area, I may need to use the sensor narrowing feature.
Is there a way to automate all of this (including the gimble roll) even though I'm using the Plus controller that doesn't allow you to add apps? Anyone got any other tips for how to bring this vision to reality (e.g., video settings, etc)? Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have!
