Strengths

  • 155° ultra-wide FOV for immersive motion
  • Ducted propeller guards
  • RockSteady / HorizonSteady electronic stabilization

Limitations to plan around

  • Slowest shutter is 1/50 s: to get cinematic motion blur in daylight you need ND filters.
  • Photos are JPEG only.
  • Gimbal stabilizes tilt only; roll is corrected electronically.
