P3 Stills

Took the P3 to Mexico last weekend to do some photography around the central highlands. Here's my favorite two shots. The first is a shot of an Aztec pyramid, the Tepozteco. The second is a shot of the mountains surrounding the valley. Let me tell you, hiking a kilometer up a mountain with that quad on my back was fun...

In 3 weeks, back to Mexico, this time for beach shots! (both pictures and the tequila kind)

Hold the shutter button inside the DJI PILOT app (and not on the controller). There are options for HDR/Bracketing.

I found the HDR mode produced mixed results whereas the bracketing either 3 shot or 5 produced more reliable results when processed, has anyone found the same?

(cropped from) first proper still while in flight - Raw mode, -0.3ev, auto white balance (seems a bit blue but easily corrected)
In raw the image does look a little soft but responds well to lightroom/photoshop

Pro or Advanced model?
Is this before any post processing, IE, sharpening etc?
Since the Pro and Advanced have the same sensor, do you know if the Pro takes better stills than the Advanced?
 
I would think the stills will be practically the same from either, mine is the Pro and that's from a RAW file given minimal treatment in lightroom.
I pulled the sky highlights down slightly and exported at 1500 pixels with screen standard sharpening applied which is similar to treatment of files from my other regular cameras.

My P3P arrived in Norway yesterday. Here are some still frames from my first flight extracted from the 4K video (3840 x 2160) using VLC.

I've taken 174 shots with my P3P, still trying to figure out the settings.
