I fly in the mountains often too. Getting about 1460ft (500m) in California. Before anybody freaks out, I’m still only about 50-100 or so above the actual terrain. :)

That’s a terrible attitude and would be unprofessional. No matter how much someone was screwing with you - that amounts to assault, planting evidence and false imprisonments. Not funny even as a joke considering innocent ppl are shot by cops every day and thousands go to jail innocent. I don’t...

Lol. I was trying to be polite but yes! Most incidents I read I’m thinking “you shouldn’t have done that”.

I have had the original mavic pro since the day it released w/ 0 problems. I now have a mavic 2 pro along w/ the OG Mavic Pro and so far everything has been golden there too. Both are great, reliable birds. It’s easy to forget that although you may see 20-30 complaints or problems on a forum or...

As long as its metering correctly where you want it, the ISO shouldn't matter. I think the P4P locks it to gain up the sensor in LOG to assist and compensate but I'm still not entirely sure completely why it does it. I was kind of bummed initially because obviously that introduces more noise...

If shooting LOG properly, the exposure should be +2 EV over to properly expose dark areas with enough range to hit the highs, and thats still within range of the highs not clipping. On my Phantom 4 Pro, it automatically snaps the ISO to 500 when shooting LOG for this very reason. Mavic doesn't...

Neat is great for all of that in my opinion. Using the smooth edge function helps with over sharpened images and also moire patterns that result from patterned things. Its my go to. Another thing you could do but not quite as good is adding .25 px blur in your finishing software of choice...

FWIW DJi introduces auto noise reduction in the camera when your style sharpness is set to 0. The result is that sometimes it over compensates and makes patches of mush in random areas that make it feel blurry. To fix this all you need to do is set the sharpness to +1. This effectively turns...

Heres another one of Playa Vista, also shot on Mavic Pro.

Quick video shot on the Mavic Pro. Gave it a tilt shift look:

Lol ok. Better prepare for the zombie apocalypse too. I'll be over here not worrying about things that don't matter, in a less conspiratorial manner. ;)

I leave one on the aircraft. Put two in the front pocket and one in the side pocket. Here a photo. I lifted the batteries out a bit for easier visibility in the photo. Also. I took the picture next to my Phantom 4 Pro case for size comparison.

It holds altitude in sport mode. You just have to remember that there's a variance of around 3 ft. If you're lower than 3 ft, you're in a margin of error and probably too fast for vps to figure it out.
