Actually, Canadadrone got it right. Having the drone shoot a photo Grey card first lit under the same lighting conditions as the drone and then carrying on the mission is the easiest way. Afterwards using a White Balance tool on the card will get you to neutral. One thing to be aware of...

One way would be for you to place the white card close enough to completely fill the camera frame. Got to custom settings and dial in the Kelvin setting that makes the white card look neutral without a color cast. Be sure the card is in the same light as the Mavic Will be. In other words, don't...

Real question is, “Is it cheaper than a Mavic 2 or Inspire”. [emoji409][emoji542] NB

FAA expands LAANC capabilities to 100+ new airports By Kara Murphy https://3.img-dpreview.com/files/p/E~TS590x0~articles/8871804369/Skyvector_LAX.png At the beginning of this month, the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Acting Deputy Administrator, Carl Burleson, announced that Low...

One of the best explanations of the use of shutter speeds/frames per second combos I’ve seen. Well done mate. Perhaps cut down on the coffee a bit before you film? (Grin) NB

Straight from the DJI news feed _______________ An important development happened today for everyone concerned about the safety of drones. Back in December 2018, the pilots of an Aeromexico 737 heard a loud bang while preparing to land in Tijuana, Mexico. The radome at the front of the jet was...

Don’t know why, but this thread reminds me of the sport of falconing. Note the protective glove. NB

Sigh, I might be interested as mine is hung up somewhere in TrumpTarifland. I assume used with some sort of warranty? NB

Lucky dog. Still waiting for mine. NB

ff22 has it right. The bird flies backwards while keeping the subject focused and zooming in to keep it the same size in the frame. The background behind the main subject, however, dramatically increases in size - that’s the Dolly Zoom. Vertigo inducing, I would recommend using it very...

Thanks for the photo. It makes it clear that this triangular protrusion could indeed catch the cable causing problems. Doesn’t appear to be a motion stop tab so should be safe to file down. NB

I've shot mostly raw for years and heard this Mac vs PC argument often. My position is to start with Jpeg and get comfortable with shooting/editing it. Only after that should you consider raw. A lot depends on the Jpeg engine (software) of the camera. My Fuji X100F cam has one of the best tho...

Right on - what Paul said. Very good info. NB "They used to photograph Shirley Temple through gauze. They should photograph me through linoleum." • Tallulah Bankhead

I highly recommend LR Mobile. Been using it on my XR iPhone with an active stylus pen (get one-makes a big difference in precision editing). Only the really important or tricky stuff gets edited on my PC tower. NB

Wait til the neighbors who hate your drone get one of these... https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6535601012114239488 NB
