Hi all,

I’m Bill, I got a DJI Mini 4 Pro for Christmas, complete novice at 62. I am in Wiltshire, so lots of Neolthic landscapes to take advantage of. The drone has blown me away, it is so capable and in such a tiny package. It has been fog and low cloud for the last few days, so not good for visuals, but the lack of wind has helped get on top of the controls. Finally took it somewhere away from home . Got some reasonable footage, but colours are a bit flat due to the grey skys.

I often head out that way as it’s quite crap is crap round here, some nice places in & around the Hungerford area too, my brother has just moved out wiltshire way so in the new year I can kinda kill two birds with one stone.

Hi Bill
Welcome to Greyarrows. You got better footage of Silbury than I did, the last time I was there :joy:
Regarding the ‘flat’ looking colours, the drone might be recording video in ‘D-log m’ by default, in which case a little colour grading in your video editor might be worth checking out. D-log m can be turned off in the drone settings.
Hope you have a great time here, I have found everyone most helpful :slightly_smiling_face:
