Hi...sadly there's no way of getting fine details with the Mavic (trees/foliage in shadow areas are difficult for any sensor though, like sea/waves and any varied changing image)...both the sensor size and low light entering and the heavily limited bandwidth not fully available at low...

It would not be smooth...a problem that Mavic footage already has on its own! I would decide before you shoot what's going to be the final framerate and stick with the classic/film/smooth relationship between fps and shutter speed to have the best looking and smoother footage. Beside that...

Q1) not that I'm aware...I suppose sadly as usual they're more interested in selling more/new products that make the previous ones at least decent.. Q2) I think that is the best overall for less artifacts Q3) DLOG, no comparison on the quality you can achieve with post processing out of the...

Absolutely, that would be a final test. This period I'm busy in studio with production but if I'll get a chance I will. If you will let us know, curious to see the final result in terms of resolution. To my findings is anyway possible to shoot 4k with -1 sharpness (or -2 for very complicated...

The difference between the two is clear, so surely is a way. But honestly to me the loss in quality is about the same if I was shooting directly with lower sharpness settings/resolution. Maybe depending on shooting one might be be slightly better than the other, but with the advantage of not...

Could you possibly upload somewhere a before/after full-res? Always interested in alternative solutions!

Yes I think that if 4k is your target, then upscaling from 2.7k will produce less 'artifacts' then 4k with any sharpness higher than -1, in particular for the most demanding (details and lots of contrast) scenes. I keep shooting pro footage with the Mavic and using 2.7K NTSC 60hz - 24fps with...

That is absolutely normal behaviour, there are many things here to notice BUT generally speaking (unless a few few exceptions) the bigger the screen, the more you see defects. Is also true on Youtube...try looking at a Mavic footage in the normal small window and it looks ok, then bring it full...

I got a 4K high quality monitor that I use for professional photo and video editing...and yes there the flickering is even worse. BUT I'm not a fan of the 4k sharp look, so even on my 4K monitor I always keep it very neutral and calibrated, and to be honest difference between 4k and 2k of the...

I do agree, I think anything more than 0 in sharpness on Mavic makes images 'look' sharper for a second, but has the same wow factor (and is as fake) as hdr...is not what our eyes see, or how our eyes see, is just an effect, and much overused (and on a machine like Mavic also not well done). I...

Indeed I think it easily covers ANY grading need for Mavic users...I mean if they are willing to spend a few minutes actually learning and experimenting instead of buying or using ridiculous LUTs without even knowing that they do :D

I don't shoot 4k but is all written here and it clearly says 4k :) VideoGrade

I'm (not) surprised by that idiotic reply...we never did it before, we're not doing it now...what (no) explanation is that? :D It just shows the fact they're incapable of modifying stuff (hardware and software) they probably bought from some third party and reuse on all aircrafts. And the...

Yeah that would be great, but I do understand it might be more complicated: for them to implement and for average user to understand instead of being confused (considering the already overwhelming amount of options not well organised imho). I still think a 'High Quality vs File Size' simple...

Nice look on that video, yes whatever it works for you (or whatever you can adapt from all suggestions around) then is good :) Yes definitely when there's small to no movements in a scene (both of the drone and of the objects you're shooting) you can go up to 2k 0 or 4k -1. I still think that...
