    Dronexpert gimbal for Phantom Vision

    I would email Dronexpert and double-check that it's a tested and supported config, to be safe. Just my opinion!

    Odd post on a Linked In article about P2V

    Hmm... I think I've heard about this guy before. Oh yeah, I remember: :lol:

    DJI Vision Filter mounting kit - in stock at Heliguy

    No worries and I agree completely! A lot of the coloured/special filters are completely redundant in the digital age because you can do it better with software during post production. Graduated-ND and Circular Polarisers are different because they give you something that you can't get (fully)...

    DJI Vision Filter mounting kit - in stock at Heliguy

    A few filter ideas: A Circular Polariser (or Polarizer ;) ) can be used to 'tune out' reflections from ground/water. It's the same principle as some anglers use to be able to see into the water (rather than just see a reflection of the sky). The filter comes in two sections and you rotate the...

    JPEG Rivals RAW?

    It matters in that it's an interesting development in Jpeg's long history... but for the context of photos taken with the Vision's camera, it doesn't matter, no. Where it will be useful is for interoperability - using these new 'pro jpeg' type files across platforms and technologies. RAW is by...

    Dji Vision App

    The app will almost certainly just query the Android geolocation API and that will abstract all the detail away. The app might request an accuracy level but it will always be a 'best guess' of the user's location based on the situation and hardware/network hints available at the time...

    DNG vs JPEG comparison

    Spot on. To increase contrast, you generally pull the bottom/left of the curve right-wards and the top/right of the curve leftwards, to give a subtle 'S' shape to the line. The more curvy the 'S', the higher the apparent contrast...

    Getting Very Comfortable with RTF (Return to Home)

    I don't understand how this would be useful? Because if you're within range of the wifi/fpv, you get visual confirmation of the return to home anyway. And RTH usually starts if communication is broken with the controller... so the light would only show that communication had been lost and not...

    Any chance you could share one via a URL to a filesharing/cloud storage site? Pretty please? ;)

    New Firmware Released for Phantom Vision

    I believe this is because of the following line in the LCP file: stCamera:CameraRawProfile="False" You could try creating a new copy of the .lcp file with the above line amended to ...="True", and it should then work in ACR, I believe... ;)

    New Firmware Released for Phantom Vision

    Hear hear! :) It's unfortunate that pixel density / sensor size is not used as a differentiator... only 'megapixels'. The output resolution might be a gazillion megapixels, but if it's using a tiny sensor and/or interpolating from a small native pixel size, you're going to get poor images. I...

    Benefits of DNG/RAW for the layman

    If you're just taking snaps for fun and especially if you never bother doing any post/Photoshop work to your pics, then DNG/RAW will not be of any benefit to you. Essentially, it's just the raw data from the camera sensor (hence the name), stored in a file. DNG stands for Digital Negative, and...

    New Firmware Released for Phantom Vision

    Adobe Bridge has a very detailed metadata viewer. If it's present in the file's metadata, that will show you... but you're right - maybe it doesn't include values if you haven't actually got GPS when the image was taken?

    New Firmware Released for Phantom Vision

    Are the new raw pics saved as something.dng? And do you have the latest updates for Adobe Camera Raw installed?
