I would encourage the ambitious to take on After Effects after learning Premiere. It's a somewhat daunting interface at first, but plenty of good online tutorials are out there. While Premiere is where you'll be making your cuts and syncing audio, After Effects is where you'll turn for masking...

nice footage. i had to laugh at his pre-flight routine

nope. get a 107, only then you can make money from your footage, according to FAA regulations

it will stay locked to a certain distance from the camera. depth of focus depends on the aperture, sensor size, and length of the lens. focusing to infinity is still possible, as long as you have plenty of light. with the focal length equivalent of 24mm on a 35mm film camera, you will be able...

that is a game changer... how are they handling focus?

very much this... i don't know if ND's will be necessary at all, unless you want to use slow shutter speeds for stills that is. as far as i know, the aperture is still fixed, correct?

nobody is talking about the elephant in the room here? phantoms in walmarts is scary. is the fear justified? maybe not. why are walmart phantoms scary? 1. it's holiday time. many people who know nothing about drones will get a phantom as a gift. having to at least go to best buy was at least...

so many factors involved... to me the main reason for upgrading to a P4P now is if you can benefit from the camera upgrade. for recreational use, well it's your call as a consumer... professionally, the next version will almost always be better than the current one, but can your business...

'vision positioning' is what i meant. i know it has problems when flying over areas that have repeating patterns, such as large paved areas or water.

did you have obstacle avoidance enabled? (or whatever dji call it on the P3's)

don't mean to hijack the thread but this is related: i was planning a 'blue hour' long exposure still shot(s) at a local body of water (1-2 foot waves) i'm looking to get that 'milky' effect on the water with a long exposure setting and an ND filter. has anyone done this? was looking for the...

the automotive industry, however, is not currently just a few bad publicity incidents away from harsh regulations. i get what you're saying... but it's unnecessary to say. those who want to ignore the requirement already do, or will figure it out on their own.

maybe with future dji birds... but the white of the phantom is a huge part of the branding... just like many apple devices upon new release. imo tho, less is more. i haven't seen one custom paint job on a phantom that looked at all appropriate. just me tho.

only for being the quickest to get it in ;)

nice opening shots. after that... the rest of the shots are nice enough, but don't continue, nor logically follow, the 'airy' 'floaty' feeling that worked so well in the open. composition was pleasing, as was the choice of subject and the camera angles you chose to feature them (especially the...
