Some footage I took on Saturday, I messed up the settings though, not 4K, the FPS was incorrect and the white balance all wrong. For some reason it has all defaulted.

Excellent.
I like the WB as it is, although I see what you mean about the FPS as its a little jumpy.
How many batteries did you go through to create that? At a guess I would say 3.

Spot on, I went through three batteries.
Was completely disappointed, it wasn't until the 3rd battery that I realised the WB was on cloudy instead of sunny and the FPS were out. It was also on 1080p and not 4K. I used a ND32 polar filter too. I am not quite confident knowing which ones to use yet.

Not sure which drone you were using to shoot it with but this may help with your ND filter selection (I fly a DJI P3 PRO so not sure if you have the same/similar settings on yours etc.)


Here is my explanation for how to use an ND filter:
1) Take your phantom without a filter and raise it to a moderate height and hover
2) In your app, turn on the MANUAL exposure control buttons from the right hand video/snapshot menu
3) Place your ISO at 100
4) Place your shutter speed at 2x your frame rate 4k @ 30fps = shutter of 60 1080P @ 60fps = shutter of 120
5) Take a look at the EV rating at the bottom in the same window as your ISO and shutter speed settings...this will tell you approx. how many stops you need:
For example = if your EV says +1.7.........you need a 2-stop filter
if your EV says +2.1........ you need a 2-stop filter
if your EV says +3.2......... you need a 3-stop filter
if your EV says +3.9....... you need a 4-stop filter ....etc
Science behind filter number and stops:
The science uses a base of 2 and you multiply the number of stops to get the filter number....i.e.:
ND2 = 1-stop
ND4 = 2-stops [i.e. 2*2 =4]
ND8 = 3-stops [i.e. 2*2*2 = 8)
ND16 = 4 stops [i.e. 2*2*2*2 = 16] ...etc

Hope this helps?

Wow! I knew about some of that. But not all!

Thanks will take a good look later.
