Actually, John, that’s not true. If you need to film a vehicle from the front, flying the P4P backwards works well at speed. We did this at dawn yesterday.
If you’re using cinematic aspect (black bars), this also allows filming of a vehicle going in excess of 30mph from any angle using the P4P. Again, we’ve recently done this on several occasions.
Yes, there are better drones/cameras available for high-end professional work, but the P4P is nevertheless a worthy tool. And - despite better options being available - it’s a drone used by commercial companies in the UK for TV production. (Again, I know this for a fact. Costs are a compelling factor, even when comparing price difference between a P4P and an Inspire2. One London-based documentary company I know of has crashed three drones to date.)
My 1st Phantom was a P2 with a GoPro. Footage from that was used in reality shows and commercials, same with my P4p. TV budgets are very tight these days no one wants to pay for anything more than they have to.
