    3 Just a building

    Just looking at this, I am guessing a high school. Looks like a bus pickup point to the middle left. It is nice though. I am wondering, did you shoot anything that shows the building from a 40-45 degree angle rather than the straight ahead shot? Cordially, Mark

    Syncing audio and video

    Easiest way is to have the drone facing you and fairly close and the sound recording and clap. Then, you simply place the sound where the clap is on the video. We tell our students here to do this regularly. Cordially, Mark Lent

    What Do You Use To Carry Your Gear.....??

    I have a large camera backpack that I carry all my DSLR gear and my Drone equipment. It is actually quite comfortable and I have ridden 50+km on my bike with it on my back and have had no problems. I also have a smaller bag to carry the drone alone as well. Hope this helps. Cordially, Mark

    Custom White Balance?

    Not as accurate as I would like. I have a thing called an "Expodisc" that I like to use. It is 99.97% color accurate for white balances (if you want details, Google "Mark Lent, Expodisc" and see the article that I wrote for Popular Photography & Imaging Magazine.) Old article, but still accurate...

    2 Pro A Droning We Will Go... Went around my home town on my bike, making some Golden and Blue hour images. Hope you enjoy.

    Two reasons for this... MOST of China, about 2/3rds of the country is mountains. There's also a billion people here and land is extremely expensive, so building up makes a lot of sense. A good observation though.

    Custom White Balance?

    I appreciate this, but live in China and generally can not see the videos here. YouTube is blocked.

    Set custom White Balance

    This is an old thread, but I am having questions about how to custom white balance a M2P. I can tell you though that with a gray card, you dun the risk of inaccurate readings because of use. They fade, get dirty and are not as reliable as other ways of doing this. There is a device called an...

    Custom White Balance?

    I asked this in a thread and never received an answer, so I am throwing this out to general discussion in hopes of finding the answer. MODS, if this is an inappropriate place for this, please feel free to move as you see fit. Thank you all and Happy New Year! I have a question here... Does...

    Scratches on Lens

    Because several reasons... Filters often cause image degradation because the overall quality of them is lesser than the glass within your lens, and the more you add, the worse it gets. In my media classes, we have done this regularly with good success. And then there's the "what happens if I...

    Tell me why you might shoot drone video using a slow frame rate?

    I have a question here... Does anyone know if the M2P can have a custom white balance? If so, where is it? I have a device that sets ultra accurate color and if possible, would like to use it. Anyone know? Seems as if it should, but have not ran across it, only to adjust to a specific number of...

    Scratches on Lens

    You could actually use this and animate it as well in After effects.

    Tell me why you might shoot drone video using a slow frame rate?

    Most likely will not see anything above 8K as that is considered the limit for human vision, really no need to go further as it won't be seen unless you are a eagle.

    Scratches on Lens

    There is a software called "Thomas Knoll's Light Factory" that you can produce any kind of lens flair you want. A bit pricy, but when you need it, you need it.
