    Video Show & Tell

    Videos of over 60 seconds need to be very interesting or no one will watch to the end. Learn to edit it down to the best footage.

    Course Lock

    Sad that you need to try such a convoluted work around to get a basic pro function on Autel's Pro bird!

    When will EVO Nano and EVO Lite be in the market?

    Long before the software is ready and the bugs are worked out. They still have a work they need to do on the EVO2 and the app.

    Are the smart capture features on the Evo 2 just bad?

    So many like to say how the E2P is so much better than the M2P. If you own both you know that in many ways this is BS. Many features and abilities that are not PRO in the E2P.

    Why I NEVER use ND Filters With Drone Cameras

    Wrong, sometimes motion blur is wanted in timelapses or long exposure shots of moving water. Fastest shutter speed would be obtained by always shooting at F2.8; yet 2.8 is not the sharpest aperture; so again no, don't always want the fastest shutter speed.

    Aperture sweetspot?

    You make some interesting points that apply to your use case but may not be relevant to the original question. Since sharpness doesn't matter to you why reply to this thread? For some it does and they want to know what apertures may be best.

    Aperture sweetspot?

    Why use F11 during the day for video when just about any test method will show seriously degraded sharpness? F2.8 is not ideal for all situations, but it is not the huge tradeoff that F11 is. And why bother having a E2P if you viewing is going to be a cell phone screen. Don't think I have...

    Aperture sweetspot?

    99.9% of the time DOF is not a consideration when using a drone with these types of cameras.

    Aperture sweetspot?

    Please post examples of this test demonstrating how it works for evaluating sharpness or DOF. I can't imagine this method being very useful. I think any decent photographer understands how aperture and DOF work with normal lens. The problem is it is very unlikely that DOF will be a...

    Aperture sweetspot?

    How does shooting a flat wall tell you anything about DOF. And in what situations does the depth of field capabilities of these small cameras make any difference in drone footage? Please show any examples of meaningful DOF difference at typical drone distances between f2.8 and f8.

    Aperture sweetspot?

    Thanks, I did much the same although I went to 300% on 4k monitors when looking for the differences. I did it a number of times on subjects at different distances with the drone sitting still. While the differences were not extreme and may not be even noticeable for casual work, I did find my...

    Evo II supposedly made in the USA, but box says it’s made in China, what gives?

    Be interesting to see if and when they make that claim.
