hello there , just went out from bangkok international airport with the mavic , it didn't even interested anyone. walked my way through customs like a charm , cheers

Hey there , Just wondering where did you see the cinelike had a limited dynamic range? from what I saw here and from my personal experience , its dynamic range is pretty decent, and sometimes better than d-log, surprisingly. cheers!

Thanks a lot for your hints and experience , i'm gathering all I can as I'm quite busy and won't have enough time to do all the tests before traveling to Asia. My idea was indeed to shoot in 2.7k to match the gopro footages , but i now have other technical issues with smooth transitions presets...

Hey raybanner , glad to see you on this thread too! I'm concerned about this 2,7k/4k compression topic... looking for which resolution is giving best results when downscaling to 1080p. As I shoot in 2,7k with my Gopro 4 Silver, it would be easier for me to shoot in this same resolution with my...

Hello again, I've done some testing in 2,7k , tried every main color styles and settings and ... unfortunately I didn't noticed any difference with 4k regarding the watercolor problem. On my unit, the muddy image is still there whatever the resolution (didn't tried 1080p though). As I'm moving...

yes ND filters can make a difference , as long as you know to use them. But you can't say a ND16 is a go to filter as it really depends on what lighting conditions you have when shooting. I have ND4,8,16 and 32 Taco RC (which work really well by the way) and the least I can say is that you had...

+1 for me, I prefer Cinelike, like I said previously above. But None can be good for you if you don't want to spend time color grading, again : test your mavic , then you will know what suits you the best. For me there is no perfect setting, you have to find one that you like and that match your...

I agree if you compare to Art, which is quite more difficult to grade . the problem with d-log is that its quality tend to depend on your mavic unit , some have "good" d-log but you can only know it by testing it and comparing to other color style. On my mavic there are no doubt , d-log is...

You're right these shots are amazing to me! it's exactly the look I like , especially in hard lighting conditions such as sunsets with strong contrasts between sky and ground. From the description of the video, this has been shot in 2,7k, but upscaled in 4k with anti aliasing, d-log, 25fps...

Actually editing d-log is not impossible , but it will take a lot more time , as this profile is really flat. And from my opinion, grading to a natural looking is much more difficult if you are not experienced. That's why I advise everyone to give Cinelike a try. Have a look at that video which...

Thank you for your message ! There are many interesting infos in the dedicated watercolor thread, which I used to set up my own tests session, but you're right , they are scattered all over the many pages and it's not easy to sum it up. I just tried to help the mavic community with my own humble...

Thanks for your comment , i've been looking for infos on that watercolor thing all over the place and you're right , opinions are quite different . That's why I decided to test this by myself , and i think everyone should do it, as it doesn't take that much time when you have the good technique...

hello guys , from my experience , shooting d-log is not always the best idea. have you ever heard of the watercolor painting problem? depending on your mavic unit (mine included unfortunately) you may encounter this problem as soon as you use a custom sharpness setting with -1, -2 and of course...

Apparently , no problem for thai airways to put your drone in the cabin baggage, as long the battery is less than 100WH. I found only one airline that doesn't allow it in the cabin and it is emirates, don't know why though. my perspective is that i will remove the propellers , put my mavic...

hand take off and landing is not complicated as long as you take care, take your time and keep security in mind. I m just wondering, when you have no plan area to initiate the bird and do the calibration/home point recording, does anyone had some issues in flight with the gimbal tilt/compass/IMU ?
