    Beautiful stuff PJ. Between the Mournes and Carlingford Lough you're spoiled for sure!

    Intro from N. Ireland

    Hey PJ (if that's less confusing that 2 Pauls), good to see another local operator, there are a few of us about. I'd look forward to shooting in the Mournes at some point, I drove through past Spelga in the summer but on a mission. It might be fun to make a day trip. I'm in Bangor, much...

    New Drone Magazine- Awesome!

    Ditto Rodger, no question. The whole concept is rediculous. Clearly I need to work on my irony chops :)

    New Drone Magazine- Awesome!

    It's amazing how when you create an off-topic post we all end up back on topic... :) Besides, shooting actual stuff at drones is so 2017, just zap it New rifle shoots drones out of the sky without firing a single bullet No collateral damage or safety issues to human-carrying aircraft there...

    Bigger is Better?

    Yes, exactly Arruntus. My standard format is PAL 16:9 widescreen. I shoot mostly corporate or arts-related media for web publishing. Not enough of it makes it to TV unfortunately but some does occasionally, I am also an approved independent producer for BBC (AP List) although work has been slow...

    Are 107 Holders really Pilots?

    Hi all, listening in from across the pond in N Ireland, I have Ground School and theory test this week. The PfCO here is a theory test like the 107, however it also requires a 30 minute flight assessment that includes site survey/briefings, ATTI flying and simulated emergencies. In addition...

    Bigger is Better?

    UHD and Cinema 4k are both 2160p! lol Yes I shoot UHD rather than true 4k - my main cam (Sony FS5) and B-Cam (A6500) are also UHD I don't have a cinema 4k option. If I'm shooting for something that needs heavy grading I might shoot 1080p - on my ground cams, the FS5's 1080p is 10bit 4:2:2...

    Bigger is Better?

    Hi Greg, all as well as the technical side there's also a logistical one. Plan the shot, have several dry runs without shooting and then execute a couple of passes with the recording switched on. Stop the recording between passes. That way you are capturing the minimum length of time and it...

    Adjustment Layers and Camera Matching

    Ain’t that the truth! I use FCP, same but different. On longer clips (like interviews) I make a compound clip containing the original plus an adjustment layer and then cut that compoundon the timeline. I can go in at any stage and tweak the files within the compound clip and that changes all...

    Intro from N. Ireland

    Hi David, a fellow Norn Iron member here, Bangor based. Like you I have a photographic / video background, I am adding aerial media to compliment ground-based video. I don't have your flying experience though. I have a P4P which has impressive camera stats, I'm looking forward to the better...
