I always loved how the CP really brings out the colors on the ground.
I agree, but my eyes see the colors as exaggerated. I wish I had a better eye or understanding for what I'm seeing, just takes time and experience to develop.
I did some testing off a tripod using various frame rates, PT Flat/GP-color and EV Comp a week ago. Shooting into the shadows, with the sun at 1PM. Prior to that I did a filter swap with the sun at my back. Without question CP helps in the reflected light, otherwise it's just an odd filter. I have the PP 6-pack, I ran through the selection and other than increasing motion blur, I saw no improvements to image quality that I was expecting. Likely my lack of experience to see any improvements.
I have concluded, the best aerial videos are shot with filtered sun, cloud cover. Rare to see otherwise. Vernon seems to have the knack, but he is the exception with editing skills. I'm glad I don't make a living flying a drone, I'd be on welfare at this point....
Pyrate, I do orient the CP filter on the vertical axis. I have tested on the horizontal, but must have been lack luster as I can't recall the results. I use the CP filter as a tool for ID the vibe thing. When things are working right, the camera actually works fairly well with just a CP.
This particular gimbal seems to have issues, starts pointing slightly right and then will have horizon tilt through the first few minutes. This video was testing how it was performing. It's likely needing a FW updated, as it was new out of the box. Just glad milder weather is back.
