In Sedona I fly at Cultural Park and at the end of the trail that runs behind Sugarloaf. It has a nice flat launch area and a wonderful view of Coffee Pot. If you can find the Tea Cup trail you will be in the right area. It's a quiet spot with few hikers. I complete a flight plan online via...

dark gray is fairly easy to see but white, up high .... I'm guessing that might spell trouble if you want to keep the MP in sight.

I got a new mini4 128gb no cellular for around $270. I use my iPhone as a hotspot to download maps. I don't need to change the home point on the fly. I'd rather have a new iPad with lots of space than a used one. I don't think cellular makes much difference

yeah, she probably does want you to fly over her backyard

Phoenix at that time of day IS over exposed. Desert sun is very bright and strong. It may look over exposed but that's exactly the way the scene looked.

seems like there is a 'reset camera settings' button ....

no filter. it was just a morning flight to see if the new FW was working. shot a few random pics.

here's a pic from the park today. not a particularly scenic area but the image quality seems ok

I flew 3 batteries and got some really nice RAW pictures but I was getting nice images before the update. I tried shooting some video 2.7/24 at 50 fps .... very jerky and hardly watchable. I don't know much about shooting video though ... it was full sun and I don't have ND filters so I'm...

I applied .1000 yesterday and flew 2 batteries. Actually didn't notice any difference flying. I'm charging batteries now and will check out the camera soon.

I've been reading all of the posts regarding the new FW and I'm having trouble putting it all together. Sounds like people have trouble with the upgrade process and that there may be new restrictions I'm hoping someone can summarize pros and cons for applying it.

Do the batteries require a firmware update?

I think you are right. the focus seems to get sharper after around 15 seconds on nearly all of the videos I have watched so I'm pretty sure it's a function of streaming.

Mine came in the white 'one box' set .... it did not have the latest firmware.

I do a lot of amateur photography and was blown away by some of the MP stills and videos. I, like you, read this forum and several others and was a little concerned that the quality might not meet my expectations. I jumped in though and have had no problems at all. It's much easier to fly...
