Just bumped this post as - like the OP - I'd like a bit of advice on settings for video using this camera (in the UK if that makes a difference). Unfortunately if you do a search on this you get scores of hits - many of which have loads of pages - so if anyone could direct me straight to a...

I've just got a DELL Inspiron 15 7000 (a gaming computer) - most of the spec matches your requirements. Photos and video look amazing! Now I've just got to teach myself post-processing and video editing!!

Thank you all for your advice - looks like separate filters is the way to go. Has anyone used the Freewell set; I assume the polariser can be rotated? I've read elsewhere that you should rotate the filter to max polarisation and then back it off a quarter turn - is this just for oblique shots...

Thanks for the post. The images are actually PPed in Pix4D Pro by a colleague so we do have close control that way. With a limited budget I'm torn between getting the two kinds of fiilter in one, or getting fewer single filters for the same money. My major uncertain is whether having the two...

Hi everyone I've been using P4D Capture and GS Pro with my I2-X4s combo for some terrestial mapping and I've had some good results back. I now need to undertake a more difficult task out over Pole Harbour however. We need to survey the eelgrass beds at low tide in order to ascertain their...

I recently tried this mapping program with my I2 - X4S combo for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by how simple and efficient it was - it does what it says on the can! The images have gone off for PP so I'm still waiting to see how it all comes out but I did encounter one glitch...

Hi Videobug I've recently acquired this combo and have always installed it during power off. Haven't had any issues with feed except one a couple of days back when the camera didn't go through it's 'dance' and no camera feed appeared. I turned the aircraft off, then on and that time all was...

Just seen this thread. I posted elsewhere a query on final file size which has been answered (thanks guys!) but in trying to find an answer first I looked through the X4S manual which I downloaded off of the DJI site. In there it states that the X4S will not focus properly at infinity unless...

What an informative article - thanks for sharing it. Bob

Thanks for the answers back; Martin - I haven't done any aerial mapping yet but I am aware that height will factor into it - thank you (no offence taken; I appreciate you taking the time to comment). Michael - The photos were as JPGs so I'm guessing this is my mistake. Am I right in thinking...

Thanks for your reply Michael - very informative. I've only used the camera a couple of times so far (literally got the I2 in the air for the first time last weekend!) and the shots and video on that day looked overexposed (all auto settings) so I'll play around a bit more with those. Most of...

Hi all I apologise for a newbie question but I'm wondering why the digital stills I'm taking are only 7 -8 MP in size (according to the DJI Go app when you look at them in the Gallery) when it is a 20 MP camera taking them! Is there a setting to increase the image MP size? I've looked through...

Just reading the blurb on these filters for the X4S and it mentions that they replace the UV filter included with the camera - how is this done (i.e. any 'dismantling' involved)?! As I'm new to aerial photography are these essential to avoid over-exposed stills and video, or are they only used...

I was interested to read this as I have a related query - I've got my PfCO course in a few weeks time and have recently acquired an I2. Although it is currently grounded until I can sort out the red props problem I hope to get it airborne soon as I'd like to get some practice in for the...

Aha - that will be why then - duh!! Thank you Editor. Bob
