Sorry, I did not mean to reply to your post or question your wisdom but rather reply to the OP's original question. I incorrectly used the "Post Reply"

From my experience grading Dlog-M footage does not require LUT. The DJI D-log M to rec709 LUT is way too contrasty IMHO. All the Dlog M footage really needs is to bump contrast and saturation a bit and apply a gentle S curve and tweak WB if your footage color is a bit off. You can adjust...

What format should I set my drone video recording to for best video quality if I want to edit and colograde my footage in DaVinci Resolve on Mac and also PC??

It will be likely on Wed morning here, I guess.

I have not decided yet but I won't be in a hurry if I decide to swap my M3P for M4P. I would have to have a compelling reason. I have very good M3P with nicely centered all 3 lenses Are you??

That is interesting that you prefer the 28mm over 24mm. I am used to shoot most of the exterior architectural shots with 24mm (Canon TS-E 24mm) and I got used to having the same focal length on the drone thus photos from both have the same perspective and blend nicely when I present the final...

That's the spirit!! No hesitation😀😀. I was like that too until I found out about the 28mm lens and the likely QB sensor behind it. Playing with the A3S DNG files I am a bit hesitant, TBH. Do you have M3P at the moment? If you do what is the most compelling reason for you to get M4P?

I've done some stitching creating 180 deg panoramas of city skylines etc but it was never perfect. I needed photoshop the misaligned areas and it was a lot of work. It was the case the closest the building the more stitching errors. As the drone yaws the paralax effect causes the stitching...

I do not think so. For shooting architecture the bigger the sensor the better. That is why many top architectural photographers use MF cameras. M3P having 3 different cameras also offers additional creative options. The QB sensor on A3S is photography unfriendly😀😀. I can't wait to see what the...

How interesting. Our experiences obviously differ😀. May I ask what software did you use for stitching? I agree that blue sky is another contentious issue when stitching. We hopefully agree at least on the fact that by taking one single shot we do not need to deal with issues arrising from...

Light fall off towards edges is the least of my worries. I am talking about moving cars in front of buildings, roof tiles and powerlines from my experience never stitch perfectly and joining them in photoshop is a nightmare. There are many things that can stitch incorrectly when shooting...

Yeah, that might be an option but I am worried that stitching pics taken of objects with sharp edges from close proximity such as houses and buildings in general might cause stitching errors

Have you tried calibrating the controller sticks and wheels?

I do lots of architectural work with M3P and the 28mm lens on M4P is disappointing..It would simply be not wide enough to get the shot done in many scenarios when there is no room to fly the drone far enough. Moreover most of my ground shots are taken with Canon TS-E 24mm and these shots blend...

I do not expect greatness but because it is now 28mm it should have less optical distortion than the 24mm to begin with thus less software correction required. Let's not forget that the corner softness on the previous 24mm lens was to a large degree caused by the software correction (embedded...
