im thinking 800 might be best to limit noise, you guys have any suggestions?

depends on how much light is available!

Use ISO 100, F4.0 and max 1" shutter speed.
Correct for exposure in post. This has worked very well for me. I use Adobe Lightroom FYI

OP shooting video, not stills, right...?
But are you saying P4P+ is stone-cold still for 1 sec whilst hovering???

PS. newbie to forum, but...
can't see thread title whilst typing post

1600 is still usable to me. Sometimes even 3200, but 6400 was the 3200 on my p4. So no gooood. Too much noise but bright. But useless. 1600 max on my p4p. Im happy

At night with F/2.8 and 1/30 shutter you are going to need 3200 ISO to get decent video.

I go with 400 and any more necessary gains are added in Post.

Can post actually brighten the video?.. without noise?

No.....

You are, in most instance, best advised to increase the ISO. Boosting the shadows in post almost always introduces arttifacts that are more objectionable than the high ISO noise.
