The Mavic can achieve high grade and professional cinematic looks that is comparable to the inspire and P4P

Beautiful shots and grade.

I'm assuming the forward sensors were turned off for some of these shots.

Id be very interested in the camera settings.
 
Yeah these are very nice - style settings, exposure strategy for various shots etc would be nice to know.
 
What's going on at 2:07 ish, where there is a flyover of a white boat? Is it just me or is there a lot of stuttering going on?

Great video!

Man......... this is the most beautiful and well done color graded drone footage I've seen so far.
Envy you!
How did you get that sunset at 0:52? The sun was very well delineated.
Thank you @Strafe1 for share the camera settings. But I wonder what ND filters did he used? I've noticed they're not coated (noticed at 2:38).
But, you did let the best for the end, that unbeatable sunset at 3:29. The most beautiful I've ever seen captured by a... Mavic? Are you serious?
There's a thread here titled "What did you guys buy a mavic for?". Well, here is (my) answer.
 
Ultimately I've been shooting at 2.7K 30P, D-Log, +1, -2, -2. But the shutter speed is almost always too high even with a ND filter. Around 1/500, maybe more.
I don't know how to color grade yet, so I use some free LUT.
This is such an "inspiring" footage (so ironic). Living and learning.
