I only have cached images atm, but I can tell you the telephoto has decent quality. It does have a weird softening effect especially if you are shooting on a sunny day...almost looks like a filter has been applied. However, if you are only using it to create depth of field (video mode), or for...

Yep, I use key framing and cloud tracking on DaVinci Resolve to work with what I can. Unfortunately those conditions were just nuts and being an inexperienced editor it was a little more then I could handle. In retrospect I will try timing my shoots when the lighting is consistent. Thank You...

Thanks for the tip. I was trying to capture in the golden hour but the cliffs themselves are almost a white rock and the rest of the valley was in shadow. Made it very difficult to expose properly. I will keep working on lighting in the future though, thank you for the input!

The reel started at 2:01 (which is where I linked the youtube video to) :). It really is an epic spot and the trek out there is most definitely worth it!

Recently bought the Mavic 3 and it is a huge upgrade from the original Mavic pro in literally every regard. To showcase it's potential I shot a cinematic series at Christie Falls and Big Horn lake (Kelowna BC, Canada). Both spots inspire photographers and videographers to capture the absolute...

I've flown my MP next to a friends M2P that had the low noise props. They definately make a difference, reduce the pitch and make it harder to hear at 120 m while not moving.

Had this happen to me before with my MP. Flew 100 ft, drone disconnected, kept flying away and eventually stopped. Went into RTH and stopped right above me 10 ft in the air. I actually restarted my controller and because the drone was close enough, it reconnected, I gained control and it landed...

You handled that exposure like a champ!

Interesting that you bring this up because the new regs state that you can fly your device at night in a well lighted area with a basic operations uav licence. They dont explicitly mention that your device needs to be modified to be seen up to 3 mi.

My question is why even allow your device to go out of legal vlos (let's say 200m MAX as an average hypothetical statistic for a drone flyer to see their device). Why not just cap it and tell the user to take an exam if they wish to fly further out? Incidentally I had to take a stupid uav...

Very nice! I have plans to take mine mountaineering this summer. Should make some sick shots.

The reason I bring this question up is because I work on a ranch in the middle of nowhere. We monitor cattle activity (births, feeding range, etc) by drone. Because my device is not capable of traveling outside the property boundaries without running out of battery first I would assume I can...

What do you mean by logging flights?

Ok, I'm in Canada. Some crazy absurd laws regarding drones, but I wont rant about that. How do you define visual line of sight? Our regulations used to state that it was the distance in which you could clearly see your vehicle (for some people it was less than 100m, others maybe 400m). In that...

I will also mention some other things I thought of. When I start the machine and press auto focus (hold on the screen to centre the focus) it makes a small sound like it is focusing in with the lens. Then it stops. Indoors the whole scene looks blurry. If I put it on auto focus and adjust the...
