    Am I wrong to keep holding on to 1.08?

    Tips for taking photos

    Have the sun behind the phantom if possible, unless taking a sunrise/sunset image. Take full advantage of the golden hour. Switch from GPS to Atti just before you take your shot then immediately flip back unless you don't mind it blowing away...
