Here's my first complete video done entirely with the P4 Pro.
I love this camera!

The farthest I got was where it was just about out of sight ;-)Very nice.....Well Done!
What was the furthest distance you flew away from the controller?

I'm an old SLR, then DSLR guy, but video using this camera is another thing altogether. Maybe my still image roots is why I like the extended scenes so much.Man some of you video guys are amazing! I come from an "old school" SLR background (B&W stills) and having a hard time grasping this video stuff. I have the entire Adobe suite for post processing and a powerful PC to handle it, but my videos just aren't as smooth as most of yours.
Yeah, I love those long scenes - they let the viewer relax and start seeing details that you can't get in today's 5-second takes. Yep This was a treat for an Arizona guy, who works on small rivers. The Hudson was amazing and incredibly photogenic. Here's my latest, using my home town Verde River as the subject:Very nice Doug, I like that you chose a style that others don't with long shots and little movement. The tendency is to use motion the whole time and sometimes stillness speaks louder.
Kind of an unusual location for an Arizona guy isn't it? I grew up an hours drive further north and not far from the river -- the Hudson is one of the great US rivers...

This is mostly the technique you develop to fly smoothly and consistently. I rarely change the speed in post edit, unless it's to do slow motion in an action shot. Flying with OA enabled helps to slow things down and keep the props out of view. The EXPO settings are an essential tool to help smooth things out, as well as the pitch smoothing setting. Developing "smooth moves" is what it's all about for your vids to look professional. I'm still learning tricks for that.Nice footage. Just a quick question, when you record and the drone is moving at various speeds how do you get the video footage to playback at the same speed? Do the editing programme you use sort this out itself or do you have to manually adjust each clip speed? Or maybe you are just very good at keeping consistent speed movements on the p4p ha ha.

Thanks John, I have done some changes to expo from toms tech time. What have you got yours set at? Thanks.
