So POI seems to work pretty well. you fly over the object then move away to the start of your circle & hit go.

beautiful!

Very Nice,
What a fantastic video/picture capturing device. That one segment when the sun came through the window is outstanding.      Good job DJI.

Question,with this setting are you having to control the camera or does it automaticly keep on the target?

Wow.

I can't get used to this new feature.

Looks so smooth.

very nice video, it has calmed me down. thank you

Where's that glass of veno I just had.......beautiful!  Salude!

Lovely video.. The birds would have had my bum clenching though

You can pan left/right whilst it's tracking to frame your shot. Also you can move in/out as well as up/down.
It's a shame you can't speed up/slow down/change direction without using the touch screen though.

Very nice indeed, instead of POI, try using HOME LOCK, set home point in centre of your object, this way there is no fixed speed limit.

Stunning, nice light.

I need to get out and test / learn this stuff... I need more time to play!! :-)  Great video, thanks for sharing.

Really nice.  Love the music.  How did you keep the video quality?  Could you share the basic steps it took to create the vid.  Starting from after extracting the clips in HD from P3 to finished product.  I would be in your debt.

Hi thank you for your kind word! I was worried it's not sharp enough?
For this I shot in log colour mode.Just took the footage into iMovie which downscales it automatically to 1080p (iMovie can't output 4k at the moment) then I tweaked the contrast and highlight sliders around to pull back some detail from the sky, also made the colour balance a tiny bit more yellow. The titles are presets. Music just added a fade out at the end. Then just export to Vimeo from iMovie menu. iMovie makes it all very easy. No idea how/if you can sharpen in iMovie though.

The rest is just shooting at that time of day plus I used a polariser filter which might make the sky better.

really beautiful lighting!  what was your strategy for exposure?  your initial angle was right at the sun but subsequently, it rotates facing away from the sun... did you have to change exposure at all or kept it the same throughout the orbit?

I was trying out my new polar pro nd filters so I think it was either a 16 with polariser or an 8 with polariser it was what ever let me have a 50 shutter & ISO 100. I then just let it roll. Normally I just use auto though and have equally good results but it's definitely much smoother with the shutter on 50 (I read somewhere it's good to have your shutter at double your frame rate. In this case 25fps) I always underexpose a little too using the ev dial maybe -0.3 or -0.5 . I also do this on my normal dslrs cameras as never good to blow the highlights on digital.

Thanks a lot.  Keep up the good work

Impressive!

Damn, that is nice. Perfect altitude as well to get the sun through the openings in the spire.

Like I said to someone else who posted a great video, I love how someone went out and did something great with a new feature instead of whining that waypoints could not be plotted on a map.

The Sun through the window what a great video!

Great job - nice subject and alignment of the sun.

I'm experimenting with ND filters.  What's your thoughts?  You used an ND8 but perhaps an ND4 would have been OK and allowed this to light a little better?  or would the camera have auto adjusted the shutter speed and given the same overall lighting?

just seems too dark to me. ??????
