    No lateral control in tight spaces

    Putting it in sport mode will disable all obstacle avoidance however that’s not the moment you’re going to want to fly and if you are in tight spaces. You’re going to want to be in tripod mode for that. That said, putting it in sport mode and being very very careful will at least tell you if OA...

    Found some great inexpensive foam for my M2P case

    Aka PE foam. It is used in nearly all custom insert applications. It’s the same stuff that computer equipment gets shipped in. While the 1.7 is durable, the 2.2 lb density is what is used in many professional applications.

    Why cant the Mavic track via GPS instead of optically?

    It would be nice if they came out with a device like the Yuneec Wizard that comes with the Typhoon H. The H has the ability to follow it (via GPS I assume). Before the M2P I purchased an H+ not knowing that they dropped the Wizard feature. In fact, they dropped a number of features that the...

    M2P ND filter Skyreat vs FStop Labs vs Polar Pro

    Thanks! The Skyreat and FStop Labs Come in the identical packaging. See very first photo. It is plenty adequate for non-rugged use. I do not know what type of packaging that the PolarPro come in as I noted in the review, mine are for my P4.

    M2P ND filter Skyreat vs FStop Labs vs Polar Pro

    I’ve been thinking about how to go about doing that with the most concise results. I’m thinking that I can drape a large white sheet off of my deck and then shoot it from the yard. A white sheet should clearly show if there is any color cast or vignetting. Thoughts?

    M2P ND filter Skyreat vs FStop Labs vs Polar Pro

    I did not have any excessive issues with these however this is just a small sample of the larger production scale so I’m sure anything is possible. Two years ago when I purchased my polar pros for my P4, I had to have a couple of them replaced because the threads were too loose and the filters...

    M2P ND filter Skyreat vs FStop Labs vs Polar Pro

    I have a digital we use for mail. I’ll see if I can swing by the shop tomorrow and weigh them. Great idea!

    M2P ND filter Skyreat vs FStop Labs vs Polar Pro

    As with many of us, I recently had the opportunity to get my hands on the @Skyreat and @fstop.labs ND filters for the M2P. I did not have direct access to the @PolarPro filters however having a set of the Cinema Series Vivid filter for my P4, it gave me the opportunity to do a loose comparison...

    *SOLVED* Baffled by ND filter test results

    Problem figured out. Due to lighting conditions I had to run a very high ISO and that appears to be what caused it. This morning I was able to run the tests again at ISO-200 and everything aligned as expected. I'll post my test data and an overview later today. Cheers.

    I will once I get this sorted and post a review.

    *SOLVED* Baffled by ND filter test results

    You are reading my mind . Overcast with a little bit of rain. I bumped up the ISO to compensate. What throws me is that without any filters installed, the base test runs true. So in theory, the amount of direct light shouldn’t matter since it is consistent with the base test. I’m hoping for a...

    *SOLVED* Baffled by ND filter test results

    No. ND8 moves you 3 stops. If you are at f/4 an ND8 would reduce light equivalent to f/11.
