Yea and I think you have to know that DJI used to have a program called aeroscope which was a remote ID like system that was enabled on all drones and DJI got hammered for privacy concerns and spying which it is still recovering from so it’s easy to see why they would be reluctant to do that...

The answer from the internet seems to be that DJI doesn’t activate remote ID untill after it is required in the country you are in. So if it’s not actually required yet that may be why

Since you aren’t using RTK or ground control points and using a consumer drone which does not have 3rd party app support for mapping missions, I would say your expectations for accuracy are going to have to be measured. If matching the waypoint height to the terrain would increase accuracy...

No problem. Can be easy to miss.

First of all, D Log M shouldn’t be confused with D Log. D Log M is just a flat rec 709 color palette that doesn’t require colorspace transforms. It’s not a true log profile. If you are using a D Log colorspace transform on D Log M footage I bet you are having a heck of a time. Secondly...

There are at least some directional (by design) USB-C cables. They will be marked HOST and DEVICE or similar on the two ends. See photos below. Remember that USB-C is just a physical connector type. Not a specification. Anybody can put whatever they want in there. It’s the Wild West out...

Yea usb-c cables are not all the same. Having the same physical plug for everything is great but a byproduct of that is lots of different cables that look the same are vastly different in their capabilities. Its even hard to find the right thing when you know what you are looking for.

Apple Silicon Macs have dedicated hardware for both ProRes and H.264 and the same will be true of PCs with newer dedicated GPUs. It’s certainly not a “big” difference or even a noticeable difference between the two. The benefit to ProRes is probably more that you don’t risk compatibility...

I think that is probably overstating the importance of ProRes vs ALL-I h.264 a bit. What was “huge” about Mavic 3 Cine from a video editors perspective was that it was the first small consumer grade DJI drone to offer an All-I recording mode, that it came in the form of ProRes was icing on the...

Yep, there you go.

Newer Apple Silicon Macs, particularly the M4 apparently. M1, for whatever reason, doesn’t seem to be as affected. All-i is not a codec. Like I said in my longer explanation above, it’s just a generic term that refers to any codec that encodes every frame of video independently. The DJI all-I...

The issue with DJI’s All-I seems to limited to newer Macs using Apple Silicon chips with hardware decoding enabled. Seems M1 chips aren’t having the same issues, reportedly. Seems like an early launch bug that will get worked out shortly to me but who knows.

This is basically just a matter of marketing, simplicity, and standardization. ProRes is an All-i codec too it’s just Apple’s specific implementation and standardization of it with the main benefit for ProRes being that it’s simple to understand and doesn’t have a lot of options to screw up...

Yep, exactly
