Since the latest firmware on the P4 pro (jan 4 i updated) my ipad mini 2 is terrible to fly with.
The ipad has been used heaps tor the last year and a half as my display on a Phantom 3 advanced.
lag is about 3 seconds and picture drops out to green and grey pixellated screens on the ipad...
or treat this as a learning experience to understand how to put together a complete production - with a view to charging full price for others down the track when you have your skills dialled. Its a lot more work but a challenge can be good.
Just be wary of operators (usually dodgy event...
Aerials are just part of a story telling tool kit- shoot aerials for half an hour max.
get an intro from an organiser/ spokesperson"welcome to the xxx fun ride here in town x spinsored by x- to raise awareness for x". use a shotgun mic with a windshield, get in close.
get 5 pre and post race...
I was looking at my footage at home on my UHD 4k tv - the 2.7k looks amazing. I think its the sweet spot for Bit rate vs resolution. 4k is nice but a little bit under "bit rated" at 60mbs.
I reckon i will be shooting 2.7k going forwards.
Ok I got a final result
Just as final conclusion and heads up to anyone that has a similar issue
I deep cycled the battery to 5 %, put it in the fridge to cool it down for 5 minutes and then recharged to 100% (actually it only went to 97% - so some understandable wear and tear on the battery...
Batteries are all good at higher charge levels - behaving as expected.
I have regularly flown partially charged batteries as i often have jobs that require multiple location 5 minute shoots - this is the first time I have been caught out.
Thanks for the tip
I am doing that now - will recharge battery and go flying....and see what happens. I nearly got caught out as I took off with 50 % battery expecting to be good for a 5 minute sortie - luckily the P3 wasnt over water or trees when the sudden voltage drop happened.
everything...
Hi Guys,
Has Anyone had any success bringing a battery "back from the dead" ?
I have 2 batteries - each with 41 cycles on them.
Battery #1 just started dropping voltage fast at about 46% capacity. I watch the cells in the go app (battery window open) mid flight and the cells suddenly drop...
For those that don't know... The pro gives you 4K and a faster charger over the advanced.
4 k is super handy for pulling 8 mp still from any frame of video.
It would be super interesting if dji offered a camera upgrade option for p3 advanced owners down the track. Especially if they can...
thanks for your comments and question
i have been shooting 4k on a gh4 for over a year now. (almost on a daily basis)
4k does make for better 1080. but i have found its not dramatically better. only pixel peeper better. the margin gets even smaller once web compression has ocurred.
for me it...
Hi All,
Long time lurker - first time poster.
I have been flying an F450 for a couple of years and recently got a P3 Advanced.
I went to a lot of effort to put together a real world imaging review - after about 5 drafts i finally came up with
something i am half happy with.
Many of you will...
