I took the XSP for a flight a few weeks ago and got these shots.

Those look great. I bought 3 filters for mine, but haven't had time to use any.
You must have edited the pics, huh?, cuz I have to edit mine to look that good.

I didn't do any post-processing, but I had the camera set to "vivid" mode.

Wow! I'll have to experiment with "vivid" mode. Those look great.
Did you also us a filter?

O.K. Thanks for the help. I just got mine and have only flown 6 times, maybe. Only let it go 1500 ft. Question: Do you have the
2.0.8 firmware update installed? Wondering how it is? Thanks

Yes, I installed the 2.0.8 firmware as soon as it came out and it works flawlessly for me. Much better than the original firmware. The aircraft is much less prone to tipping when doing an auto landing because it doesn't hesitate anymore while descending. I think that this has to do with the fact that they actually use the sonar and optical flow sensors while GPS is turned on, this wasn't the case in the old firmware. No problems with range here, I can easily get out past a mile in the city. Overall, the firmware update made my drone much better.
