what do they pay... don't order that platinum lambo just yet...
hi Jmc657, no no filters fitted or used.
thanks for the heads up! I have had some ND filters for years but never used them... might be time for some tests...
Give those filters a test and see how it goes Brian. Depending on how sunny it is, you'll want to go with whatever filter will give you a proper exposure on the EV indicator while maintaining a shutter speed that is double the frame rate of your video. As the Spark's frame rate is locked at 30, a 1/60 shutter speed is the goal. With a midday sun, usually a ND16 or higher is required, early evening probably a ND8, etc. Besides the motion blur aspect, many people find a drone video recorded at a high shutter speed to be less pleasing to watch then one shot at a lower shutter speed but of course that can be subjective and can depend on what type of scene is being recorded. For more on the 180° shutter rule see here about how shutter speed affects video.
wow lots to digest... I must have been very lucky to get 'the shot' without any manual settings or filters... Cheers Rotorwash!
As everyone here can attest, the Spark is a great little performer in auto with or without filters. Adhering to the 180° rule can be beneficial but will never beat timing, subject and creativity. Cheers BrianP!
Cheers !
