What's a dickfir???

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.

Actually lets change that to +1, -3, -3 if you're shooting dlog, +1, 0, 0 if you're shooting 'none'.

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. No one seemed to give drones much notice, other than smiles, in China anywhere I flew while I was there.

I did not keep an eye on the voltage, but in retrospect that would have been an obvious thing to watch rather than time remaining.

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...

Awesome David, thank you. Did you have any adjustments to make with the batteries in 0 degree weather? Did you film at night in Harbin?

Does anyone know of a mount that will work with the iPad Pro?

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...

And for video?
