Tell me! If I can help!

Tell me! If I can help!

Well I can tell you're experienced in video production and/or post software usage.  I think a lot of the questions I have are just things I need to try out A LOT MORE.  

I haven't messed with ANY of the intelligent flight modes - just Tripod, but that doesn't really count.  And I haven't messed with any of the other framerates, especially 120fps.  I thought that crops in and slows stuff down???  Hmmmm, I need the weather to cooperate!


I also have a few (probably turns into a bunch though, lol) questions about post production, but again, I think I just need to play around with that a lot more, as well.  I'm a still photography type and have no video experience.

I'm not so experienced, I'm learning   One step at time. Intelligent flight modes are very intuitive Yes 120fps slow stuffs down ;)  

'It can't rain all the time' someone says (mmmh ok he's dead by now, but it does't matter )

Thanks, I have been waiting to see some video from the new P4P

If I may. Work on your flying skills first. Practice one thing at a time until you are confident in that particular area. Once you comfortable in your flying skills then work on your Photography. I came from the same background and video was a new experience for me as well. There are a lot of great people here in the forum that are more than willing to help you in each area.

well done!

Question - what is the '80 ?

Tilted horizon made me laugh, I don't think that is a feature or flight mode

You're right: 80s  (I've used the Italian style)
Sorry for my english ('horizont' too, how bad ) I've made this test in about an hour, just to test my Mac and Postprocessing with new PH4Pro videos (truly AMAZING) but I've made so many mistakes

I'm glad you've found it fun!

nice! what is '80?

I didn't notice the spelling, just loved the tilted text on the horizon. Simple things make me laugh

Well you could adjust the gimbal roll to simulate a tilted horizon, but most don't unless they're going for something 'artsy'.

It's a nice video overall, thank you for sharing. It's good to see you're enjoying your Phantom and trying everything out.

Pretty dang creative. Good work

I'll keep it mind if I ever need to film the leaning tower of pisa

Well then it wouldn't be a 'leaning' tower anymore, now would it?

Hi Mauro. Nice 80's video.

I came for the 4K (I have a 4K monitor), but YouTube only plays 1080P.

Did you publish 1080P only?

Have a Mavic on order ( and waiting & waiting).  Now the 4 pro is out.  Love the idea of portability of the Mavic but the 4 Pro looks amazing! Your thoughts?

Jamie, I love tilted horizon. Now.

It's a great aircraft with an outstanding camera. It will be fun for sure!

Thank you, Paniza.
No, that's really weird. I can play it at 4K 60fps right now

I've got both and give away old Phantoms.
I think they are two different kind of aircraft: it's all about your need. Mavic at 4K (1080p non so good ) is great for web sharing but, with a little practice, also for professional shooting. Phantom 4 Pro is more than one step further, but can't fly through the place the Mavic can.
If you are a traveller, Mavic forever

ps. forgive my english, please. I hope you can understand what i mean

I like your video. My P4P+ just arrived and am looking forward to starting the adventure! Iam also new to this as well and come from a tech background but flying a drone is uncharted waters.
Thanks,
Randy

I was having almost the same argue with myself.
Now im owning P4P and loving it since day one.

And to be honest it's not that heavy or hard to transport, and preparing for flight it's just a seconds, even without props.

You can buy a Manfrotto D1 bag, which will makes traveling even more easily.
And in return P4P will give you astonishing image quality, sadly not comparable to Mavic.

Interesting. I still can't.

My PC is pretty pumped up but may be there is a limitation somewhere.

Pro really Rocks ! Imagine PHANTOM 5 How Would it Be

Thanks Randy. One step at time and it'll be a great adventure

Or even Phantom 6! I'm joking yes Pro really rocks and I haven't try the h265 yet

Transfer this to VHS!.

Yes!

Is the '80 just a filter?

No, it' for 80's style I've used italian figure of speech, sorry

Nice!Good Job!
