Yes, filters for photography with a drone aren't particularly used. However, your best bet would be to use a UV filter for photography. Gives you some protection on the lens and also some say it will give a little more contrast in the photo. Sometimes I will use a very light filter (ND4 or...

Yes, that's better for clarification. I was reading it assuming that he meant if he crashed it in another country they wouldn't honour the Refresh warranty. I still wish I recorded when I crashed it. I was just wasting battery as I had a flight later that day back to Canada. I had turned it...

Not fully true. Just bring it home and send it out from there. I'm from Canada. Crashed my drone while traveling in the UK. Brought it home to Canada, sent it in for Refresh. Got a new one sent within a week or two. Not a single problem.

Just check on the drone laws for Sri Lanka. I believe that you need to apply for a certificate to fly a drone in Sri Lanka. Isn't a simple show up and fly scenario (well....it can if you want to risk it, I guess).

Love it!!!! Thumbswayup

After reading all of the posts, it is a tricky situation. I can feel for Muppet when your "baby" goes down and is a loss. But it's also tough to put all the blame on DJI and mistrusting them when it's a "he said, she said" type of situation. DJI can't go around giving out new drones everytime...

I too have found that both the RAW and JPEG are pretty much the same when you start "pixel peeping" and zoom in. Try checking out this thread: Better stills from the Mavic It takes some time, but it does help improve the image.

If I am not mistaken, Everglades is a national park. Drones are not allowed to take off and land in a national park (I think technically you can do a flyover). So it's actually illegal to start your flight from within a National Park. However, I'm not from the USA, so maybe someone from Florida...

Be careful. You just flew in a place that you aren't supposed too. Then you put up the video with your name and picture in it.

Yes. You are correct. I was reading that off my video settings :confused:

If I'm just shooting stills I will rarely use filters to be honest. There is only a few situations where I would put a filter on, and usually an ND 4 or 8 only. Usually when I know I have parts of the photo that are just going to be too blown out if I try and get other parts of the photo to be...

I had the same type of problem in England. Trying to take some photos of Leeds Castle. I knew that the site itself is a NFZ, so I drove about a mile and half away, found a nice road near a field, and planned to take off go out a few hundred feet over the field and take some images with Leeds...

Since you uploaded from the Ipad, I wondering if you are giving the "straight from camera" image, or if there is any processing? I think you did great. Composition is good. I like the sunset, you managed to really get some good colour on it. Shadows are a bit dark, but that isn't easy to get...

I think that maybe you missed a big point of this. Perhaps just saying it in a different tone would have been better. We are all here trying to learn and share. Putting out the "you're wrong, I'm right" attitude doesn't help. Take a look at the world of photography. Many "rules of...

Beg to differ. There are so many factors involved. Yes, crappy filters with crappy glass will degrade your photos. Good filters on the other hand can improve your photos. I originally started as a photographer, so yes I do understand what an ND, and CPL filter is, it's purpose, and when to...
