Hi,
I testet the active track mode and some other intelligent flightmodes of my Mavic 2 pro.
Have you tested it too? What are your experiences with active track in the forrest?

It was the first time I used the polar pro filters on my Mavic 2.
The Polfilter make the water clearly dark. This is really nice!
What can I do to improve the video quality and color with them?

Thanks for the hints
Felix

Here is the Video:

Hello and good day Felix. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video you have created. Great work and thank you for your support.

Great footage

Great footage.

Nice video.
Polarizers have limited practical usability on drones. Mostly because you can't control their effect once you are in the air.
On a ground camera you would first frame your shot, then rotate the filter to get the desired effect.
This is (of course) not possible while you are in the air.
So it is a bit of luck and a lot of flying back and forward if you want to get it right.
I have only used them on a couple of projects, but stopped after some tries.

Thank you!
I rotate the filter on the ground pointing at my smartphone display. So I can see how the reflection looks on the screen. I wonder if the gimbal will take it to me at some point, that I turn the filter with the drone on

I have some really dark filters too. But I use them only with the drone on a tripod
With the filters, I can make long-term exposures on a tripod during the day.

I made some shots in the night too. Maybe I will show them in an other thread.

Thanks also for the other good feedback from you!

You're welcome!
Yes, I know.
I tried it a couple of times.
But I found that when I flew around, moving the gimbal up and down the effect was usually not how I wanted it to be and I had to fly back, rotate the filter and get up in the air.
Not that takes some battery + time and usually I am way to busy flying around to do that.

But when you get it right, the effect is very nice I must say.

That is one of the reasons I like this forum.
learning all the time from each other and get inspired!

The problem with this is that reflection changes based on how you look at the water! Which is why a polarized filter on a camera is nice because it is fixed, but all the different movements around the water changes the reflection and thus how the PLF works.

Nicely done, great video!

Great job, very nice video
