Props in video

[iKwame]

I'm sure this has been asked a billion times, but is there a way to get rid of those props appearing in the video?

Tilt the camera down a bit.
Don't fly so fast that the drone tilts forward enough for them to show.
Crop the video.

Disable gimbal from tilting up beyond 0 degrees, in gimbal settings.

Good advice. I think I did have it in sports mode and it was windy.

I'll try to crop it in Premiere and see how it looks. Thank you!

If you need to fly fast, another thing you could do is fly backwards.

Hopefully you're flying with your eyes

It's just an option to keep in your arsenal. Sometimes titling the camera down is not an option.

would seen hard to shoot desired video going backwards

 

[msinger]

How so? The camera would still be pointing at the desired target.

A 50/50 horizon split is boring to watch; try the Rule of Thirds, and as a side benefit, there won't be props in the view.

yes but the target would be moving away,which isnt how most would be filming

It might be though depending on the shot. Or you could reverse the footage in post.

Again, it's not for every situation (or for some people ever). If you don't like the idea, then always fly forward

And/or you could just fly slower, keep the angle of attack low, and then, if you need to speed it up, then speed it up in Post.

Sport Mode is definitely why then, that's about the only time I see them in my shots unless there is high wind.

I think so too. Thanks for everyone's input.
