When flying in full sunlight, I record prop reflection/flare when at an acute angle to the sun. Does anyone know how eliminate/minimize this problem?
Thanks!!

Oh and welcome, I’m new too?When flying in full sunlight, I record prop reflection/flare when at an acute angle to the sun. Does anyone know how eliminate/minimize this problem?

Perhaps a third party lens hood?And be sure all lens surfaces are clean.
Lens hood block the sun at appropriate angles to the sun, but they will not prevent the lens from getting dirty.Perhaps a third party lens hood?
Have you set the camera gimbal to allow the incremental 30 degrees upward travel? Wondering if the flare is occurring because of the increased upward angle?Does anybody else face this same prop flare/reflection issue?.......when the camera lens is more or less horizontal, and facing at an angle to the sun. Sunlight reflects off of the props, creating a flashing on the camera.
I've thought about the lens hood, but am wondering if others have noticed the same problem.
BTW, my camera lens is very clean, not contributing to the problem.
Are you using the stock props (i.e. dark color)? My old P2V white props caused prop flare depending on the angle of the camera. Just a thought.The lens is pointed either straight ahead or down at a relatively small angle.......definitely not pointed upward. I agree that pointing the lens downward will minimize or eliminate the prop flare, but I often want the view of the distant horizon.
I'm still waiting to see if others have experienced the same prop effect. So far, no affirmatives.
Thanks.

Prop flare? Reflection?
That's probably not an accurate description.
Are you seeing the props in your line of view or are you seeing the shadow of the props caused by the sun shining through the props onto the lens?

That's not reflection, it's the shadow of the props.Sunlight reflects off of the props, creating a flashing on the camera.
