Art was the consensus before Cinelike was the consensus until D-Log was fixed ;-) Seriously, experiment with recommendations that make sense then choose what *you* like. If you want to grade the footage then dialing back the brightness and contrast isn't a bad idea. The sharpness setting is...

Yes, I downgraded from .500 to .400 successfully and Autopilot works fine.

@sono40 - screenshot from the iPad then cropped down and added annotations on the PC.

Yep, entertaining and a fantastic video maker/editor. CaseyNeistat

Other than possible GPS interference, you should be able to "war game" the entire maneuver in a less forbidding environment until your comfortable/competent. I spend a fair amount of time in my backyard with all sensors off flying slowly in and around trees, deck posts and rock walls in...

This was an interesting discovery. Same settings chosen in Manual as are reported by the Auto Exposure mode but where Auto shows 0.0 EV, manual (correctly it seems to me as well as the histogram) shows -1.3 EV. Lee

Sorry for the loss! I don't think it's been mentioned that having a good relationship with these 2 tools in the Go app can be helpful in understanding the craft's position and bearing relative to where you're standing.

550 does not resolve the Autopilot issues according to the folks at Hangar.

Here's some footage I shot Friday cycling through a few different Taco-RC MC filters. Filter in use is listed in the video. As I've seen mentioned in other threads - exposure is king. I've noticed that going under is nearly fatal for a shot.

I discovered Neistat as the Mavic was being introduced and was obsessively scouring the inter-webs for information and footage to oogle. I certainly enjoy his approach to "the story" and his editing style makes for enjoyable videos. A little crazy at times, sure. Jacka$$ level? Certainly not ...

Thanks again @Kilrah - workload theory makes sense. I had popped it into Sport and full throttled it to the point where it "misbehaved".

Thanks for the further thoughts tooFLYforayoungGUY and Kilrah. @tooFLYforayoungGUY , this was a critical "I'm landing now" and not RTH. RTH never happened. Craft went from "I'm happy" to "I'm coming down right here, right now". Ambient temp was 40 degrees and batteries had come from a 68 degree...

Kilrah, thanks for that. Yes, understand that voltage is king. At this point I'm working to understand the apparent discrepancy between the estimate still being "in the green" and the critical voltage "I'm landing right now" critical warning. Skyrider, yep, remaining time as reported by the...

Hey Motley, Confirmed the indicator shown on the screen shot is aircraft battery and I'm seeing the same reading on the remote and app display. Yes, you can set both the low battery and critical warning levels. Mine are set at 30% and 10% respectively which I think are the defaults.

Thanks msinger - then there's something else as the battery data at the time of the flight seems to indicate a different situation. I think the screen shot below shows that, at the time of the low power warning, the battery was at 45% and there was quite a bit of time remaining before the...
