It's one of the great things about the Avata. Turn it on and it starts recording. I think there is an on/off in the menus but I'm not sure. Dunno why they don't offer that as an option on other drones.

I rarely do video orbit shots (meaning spin the camera around 360 degrees?) because going at a nice reasonable panning speed that the viewer would enjoy (defined by me :) ) takes too long to complete the orbit and would be too much for any video I do and honestly I can't recall anyone putting...

I use the tele lenses a lot including those on my Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Pro so using Dlog M makes it very easy to ensure similar color grading but if I was only shooting with my Mav 4 I would probably shoot Dlog if I thought Auto ISO was not appropriate which to me means video with changing...

all I can say is it worked OK with my Studio Max 64. The files are so huge that rendering took a while but scrubbing through non-rendered files was flawless so no rendering needed till export. That's the huge difference between All-I and ProRes which, if I'm correct, needed no rendering. In any...

working on the video but I'm behind with my projects...get sidetracked easily. Played with All-I the other day.

When my Mavic 3 Pro decided to flip over and dive into a river I was very glad I had not sold my older Mavic 3. Now that getting repairs is next to impossible I won't be selling anything - ever - until or if DJI re-enters the market. I am also flying my older drones as much as my newer just to...

I go back to an early Phantom...the original Mavic Pro, the original FPV which is a hoot shooting 60mph across the sky, an Avata and Avata 2, Mini 4 Pro (sadly sold my Mini3 Pro), Mavic 3, Mavic 3 Pro, Mavic 4 Pro, and Neo. Wait! That's 10! Of course I don't use the Phantom but I got it out and...

I just shot 4.5 min of All-i and imported to FCP. It came in with no Audio and I thought "what's with that" and laughed at myself. It took up 25GB :) and rendering took 1.5 min for that short clip. Importing also took about 1.5min but it was over USB-C on my Studio Max. Scrubbing through the...

I read on at least on website that the Mini3/4 batteries would be compatible. That was a shock. Can't confirm. Also can't buy a Mini 5. I have 9 DJI drones and I could get the 5 but it would be a tradeoff. I'd probably lose my wife...tough call...

Agreed. I shoot 5AEB virtually all the time. For whatever reason, LR does not like 3AEB - at least when I am doing HDR Panorama. It requires 5AEB exposures so that's pretty much all I shoot.

Thanks. I've not even bothered to try All-I. I have no need to deal with it but out of curiosity I'll do some recording with it.

yeah...Had I not done that the sky would have been entirely blown out. I didn't put up another thing I did with a panorama. Panos are only shot jpg so the same issue can arise so I will shoot one pano exposed for the ground and a second exposed for the sky. Overlap them in Photoshop...

I don't know how many nits it puts out but it's the brightest screen I've ever used.

Thought you might be interested in this bit of geek. Shooting yesterday over a burn area from one of many fires this summer, the sun was a bit above the horizon and I realized the dynamic range of the shot I wanted was probably more than even a 5 AEB shot would get so I shot a 5 Auto Exposure...

When I was 17 I quit high school and moved to Europe to stay with a friend using money I'd earned when I was 15. I bought a Japanese camera in Germany (cheaper) and began my journey in photography. Upon returning to the U.S. they were going to charge me a customs duty because it had not been...
