    Anyone ever use their ND256 filter?

    It would be cool to see some of your results, if you have any up on youtube or similar. The three times I have been able to try this at sunset for a hyperlapse it has been way too windy! Eventually the weather gods will be nice to me, allowing me to try this out too.

    (Freewell) Anamorphic Test - MA2

    Thanks for the input, @DaveS I really love the reminder to do this my own way, that was something I completely forgot when undertaking these initial tests with this wonderful piece of glass! Thumbswayup Now to find some epic Scottish mountain ranges with loch's close by! ;)

    (Freewell) Anamorphic Test - MA2

    Thanks @bumper for the great input! I was mulling that over about how to effectively convey more detail on these places and your insight was perfectly timed, thanks. Slow top down footage, maybe getting game and flying into the odd place where it's really clear and I can maintain line of sight...

    (Freewell) Anamorphic Test - MA2

    My first MA2 drone video, testing the (new to me) Freewell Anamorphic lens on my little MA2 yesterday, I'd love any constructive critiques or suggestions for improvement as this is all new to me. First, a little context. It was captured in auto-exposure as an ND filter can't be applied, so...

    Anyone ever use their ND256 filter?

    For beaches here in our South Aussie Summertime, the most I have ever needed was an ND 128, so as to achieve a 1/50 shutter for 25fps (180 degree shutter angle) at ISO 100 on the Anafi (French designed drone). That was maintaining a + 1 1/3 EV so it looked right. You could be on to something...

    Anyone ever use their ND256 filter?

    I'm still confused that anyone would apply a heavier ND filter than they need to attain their shutter angle needed for whatever they are capturing so as to achieve clean video! Are you not shooting in manual mode? My ISO stays where I set it, it never changes unless I choose to do that. On my...

    Sidewards facing Hyperlapse possible?

    I think I got my answer, in the Course Lock mode, there is an option to fly without a subject! I'll try that to see and if that doesn't work, I'll try the option of a Waypoint Timelapse with both start and end points facing the same direction.

    Dave is it possible for you to explain this "lower quality video" you mentioned, as I am slightly confused by this statement? There's a good chance I haven't gotten something you mentioned. For my video captures I sometimes need anything up to 8 stops of ND reduction to be applied, so as to...

    Sidewards facing Hyperlapse possible?

    Hey folks, I am wondering if there is a way to achieve a Hyperlapse where the MA2 is facing 90 degrees to the travel direction whilst in a straight line. I do not want the bird to be locked on to a target, I want it to for example face South the whole travel of it moving East to West. Is this...

    Mavic Air 2 controller: incessant beeping

    Take a look at your obstacle warnings, what I discovered caused the beeping for me at takeoff is ME! Yes, I am causing the sensors at the front or rear to go nuts with beeping, until lifted above me, since working this out, there is just the few initial warning beeps as it launches, now. I put...

    I just LOVE dilapidated old buildings!

    Epic editing showcasing these old ruins in a more modern style, without being disrespectful to the places. Great work again, @Eewan !
