In regards to the last post above, I HAVE tried 24fps and missed posting that.
Yes, do update the recommended settings for night to 4K/24 with 1/25 shutter speed! Little more light to work with and looks nicely film-like.
In addition to the many responses you've received, The Antenna Theory Website. All you need to know (or all a PhD already knows *wink wink*). In any case, juuuuuuuust in case you've forgotten your undergrad work this will help you out and should be a breeze for someone on your level to read...
Does anyone know if this data gets recorded in any logs?
It would be fantastic to be able to review this later if you needed to work on your footage exposure, contrast, etc. in another application.
I have the PGY ND32. No color cast issue at all. And I'm super aware of this. If there was one I'd notice it.
I film in dlog -1-3-3 and use the free LUT from Ground Control' website "dlog-1-3-3 to rec709" in Premiere, then usually hit 'Auto' exposure in the Lumetri panel under the basic...
I have flown there. There were at least two other pilots that day and plenty of room to fly.

I just came back from this trip and I'll start a new thread on my experiences, but GPS worked perfectly if you had your 'Calibrate for China' switch turned on in settings.
So everyone has been asking for some night video settings I thought I'd post my approach to help all.
Try these (updated 5/19/2017):
If you're NOT doing your own color grading in Premiere or Final Cut:
4K/24fps
ISO: 800
Shutter: 25
Color: Auto
Color Profile: None
Softness: +1
Contrast: 0...
I'm taking a trip to Beijing to see the Wall and then Harbin for the Ice Festival at night.
Two questions:
1. anyone know what the drone flying rules are in China?
2. flying at an Ice Festival at night might be....COLD....how are the batteries affected as the temp comes down?
thanks if anyone...
fly up to about 40-50ft in AF
aim the camera straight down at some well lit scene
center click to focus
switch to MF and don't change the focus
aim the camera back up and good to go from there
keep the camera on MF and don't change focus for the whole flight. you should have max depth of focus...
