    The sharpest aperture for the Mavic 2 Pro ?

    There is a focus peaking function available on Mavic 2 Pro. Activating that is the best confirmation for good focus. I personally find it a bit distracting to leave it on, so I just check it at beginning of shot and then turn it off

    The sharpest aperture for the Mavic 2 Pro ?

    If you are working with manual focus on your drone the best way to check for focus is definitely NOT to zoom in. Doing that is a good way to ensure your footage is not in focus when you zoom back out. Only very expensive large “parfocal” zooms hold their focus during zooms. A zoom lens on a...

    The sharpest aperture for the Mavic 2 Pro ?

    The f stop range of the lens most likely ranges from f2.8 when it’s fully wide open to something like f16 when it’s closed down as much as possible. The higher the f stop, the greater the depth of field (i.e. the more that is in focus). However the “sweet spot” optically of a lens is in its...

    The sharpest aperture for the Mavic 2 Pro ?

    5.6 is more optimal but you or anyone would be very hard pressed to see a difference

    Size of still photos for real estate Mavik Pro 2

    Hi I’ve been doing real estate photography for a while now. I always send the realtor 2 versions of my photos, one HIRES (300 whatever it is per inch), and LOWRES (70 whatever it is per inch). The HIRES is only for printing, for brochures. If they’re not doing a brochure, they don’t need HIRES...

    A lot of interest for my real estate video so here's another

    It ain't high art, but it's a way to squeeze some income out of our drones.

    Here's one of my paid gigs with my drone

    Sorry, don’t know what 107 is. This kind of video (real estate) is always posted by the realtor with all pertinent info. I like to keep my graphics as simple as possible. The more beautiful the video, the more likely it will help sell the property, and more likely I’ll get a recommendation for...

    Here's one of my paid gigs with my drone

    Ha! Guess what? That shot is reversed. I guess the drone was causing forward turbulence as I was flying forward. So what are you going to do? Throw your hands up. I’m OK with it. The positive of the visual that can be achieved dramatically and uniquely from a drone flying low over objects...

    4K Wake up call

    I work in the video industry as a DP. I shoot exclusively 4K, but for 1 reason only. Gives the producer the option to cut into a close up when I’ve delivered a medium shot, without losing noticeable resolution. There are 4K TV’s coming out, but for now 1080p is the deliverable. I’m not sure of...

    Throwing together a short reel...

    Thanks guys. I'm working on trying to pre-visualize shots and deliver the juice in a relatively short time framework. That's what you can get paid for.
