    Order of color correction and LUTs?

    Color grade = color checker? And yeah I've seen lots of different ways on YouTube for white balancing stuff. I'll have to get the hang of some of them after I get better at color grading.

    Order of color correction and LUTs?

    So I've got a Mavic 2 Pro, ND filters from 4 to 64, Datacolor Spydercheckr 24 (hate the 'checkr' spelling), and use Davinci 16. Shooting in Dlog-M, 24 FPS, adjusted to fairly neutral EV depending on direct sun or a brief cloud. I think I'm getting the hang of slower movements and doing more...

    DaVinci Resolve ?

    While crappy, I can only imagine the volume of 'looky-loos' they'd have to field questions from considering how complex the software is, which would lead to people complaining and driving down the reviews/public view. That said, could you put samples of the file(s) on a google drive or dropbox...

    DaVinci Resolve ?

    I'm on a system I built a couple years ago. I7, 1080 card, 16gb ram... Seems I'm having the same issue. I forgot that if hid the preview window and was using the main timeline view for a while now. I did find a post on the blackmagic forum about the problem and a few people were advised to...

    What to use for sound recording?

    Sorry, I should've been more clear when I said 'only briefly'. No plans to put a payload on the drone because of the prop noise as you noted. I'd use my phone for audio but it's already being used for the drone. That leaves audio from a GoPro style action camera or a dedicated audio recorder...

    What to use for sound recording?

    It occurred to me that I don't know what to use for recording sound for things I'm shooting footage of with my drone. This spring I want to get some cinematic style footage of my car and do a little video with friends. Having some audio of various nature sounds to go along with the footage of...

    A year later, who has swapped their M2Z for the M2P and vice versa?

    I've seen many a YouTube video showing that its a simple swap of the camera and drone A recognizes the drone B camera. It makes sense that it would make mass assembly easier for the company to swap the camera and have the drone figure out which one is installed. Not sure if I'd do it out in...

    What’s in your drone bag? - new pilot

    I picked up a Dacckit bag from Amazon, holds 4 batteries, my M2Pro, remote, cables, charger, misc cables, extra propellers, etc. Fits the M2Pro with the props on and a battery to save a little time. So I guess it holds 5 total? I'd call it a 'firm case' as it's soft-ish on the outside but has a...

    Battery Life ?? And charging

    Do you mean charge them too much like leave them on the charger for hours, or too often as in run down to 15% and charge daily? Either way I think they're smart enough to stop charging if you leave them on the charger and using them is what they're for. Only way to cut down on charging them is...

    Hello from SE Michigan

    Hello! I recently picked up an open box Mavic 2 Pro for 100+ off the pre-tarrif price. A bit of an impulse buy but figured I had a couple weeks to return it if I didn't like it. Suffice to say I'm hooked now and have ordered a couple extra batteries, case, phone holder to use with the...
