    Flying in Canada

    Thanks to Jagerbomb52 for your excellent video regarding doing the test. I plan to use it as my go-to reference when preparing. I do have a specific question, though. Has anybody been able/tried to copy the questions that are presented during the test? Perhaps not easily done, I suppose. I did...

    No d-log on circle or dronie?

    My experience might/might not help, perhaps worth mentioning though. When I choose the settings d-log and H265 on my Mavic 3C, and shoot normal footage (ie not Quick or Master Shots) the files look/work as expected (low saturation and contrast) but when I select a QS mode, the file still looks...

    Need Color Grading Help

    Hi, my two cents worth... Try downloading Resolve. It´s free, and a truly professional program (as far as I can tell. I´m a professional photographer, but new to video). Resolve, and drone settings in general, have required a lot of effort on my part, but I don´t see a way around it. I´ve been...

    Drone insurance required for EU operator registration. Recommendations?

    Hi PHZ! Thanks for your comment about Austria. Yes, it is very pretty here - Salzburg is almost too pretty (in the right weather) to be true! But you captured some of that in your video - congrats. Especially for your stubbornness regarding getting the mandatory permission(s) to fly a drone in...

    Drone insurance required for EU operator registration. Recommendations?

    Hi, I live in Austria, and went to a company here that specializes in aircraft insurance (for paragliding, now Mavic 3 Classic C1 drone). The homepage is in German, perhaps they have an English version. I´m sure if you send an email they are competent enough in English. At least to tell you if...

    Mavic 3 New D-Log M color mode and how to use it in DaVinci Resolve

    How do you notice linearity in an image? I can´t. BTW - anybody have experience relating to my questions? Again - I´m trying to find out if it is true that it is NOT possible to shoot Master Shots, Quick Shots in D-Log? I get clips that obviously are what I shot, as I can watch them in VLC...

    Mavic 3 New D-Log M color mode and how to use it in DaVinci Resolve

    I´m not sure what compromised lighting is, I guess less than ideal. Meaning low? Or high? I see using D-Log as a way of gettng the most out of the sensor ie the max dynamic range, which is usually on sunny days with very bright highlights and deep, dark shadows. A little bit like raw in PS in...

    Mavic 3 New D-Log M color mode and how to use it in DaVinci Resolve

    Thanks! Trying to find out if that is true (need Studio vers.) What about not it not being POSSIBLE ie shooting Master Shots, Quick Shots in D-Log? Again - the problems (in Resolve only, not in VLC) occur when using Master Shots and/or Quick Shots in D-Log. Is it a Resolve problem, or that...

    Mavic 3 New D-Log M color mode and how to use it in DaVinci Resolve

    I´m a newbie here - so I need to ask a dumb question - where do I post a question about D-Log. HERE? The question would be - why CAN I see Mavic 3 Classic Master Shot (yes I know it is said that D-Log is not possible) D-Log clips (H265) in VLC, but in Resolve they aren´t readable? Come up in...

    Greetings from Vienna!

    I´m a still-photographer expanding to include drone videos and pix. I can´t believe that I got by for so long without a drone (Mavic 3 Classic)! I use Resolve D-log. A flat learning curve for me-I find colour grading in Resolve trickier than in Photoshop. Maybe just what I´m used to. I have lots...

    Jumping right in - I´ve read the Mavic 3 can´t write Master/Quick shot files in anything above 4K. True? It seems not so simple-I have both types of files shot at 5.1.&Codec265 that can be read by my Mac, and converted with HandBrake, but "MediaOffline" in Resolve. Ideas? Thanks!
