For years I have held my camera or had it placed on a tripod. Feel I have lost control of the camera holding a joy stick! :-) Flying, capturing and processing all I can to overcome that feeling. More excited about the capabilities the more learn!

Thank you for your kind words! Over the last 10 years I have captured over 1,200 Google Street Views. Camera is always on a tripod for Street View & point of interest photography. At one time it was 80% of my income. Today it is about 50%. Point of interest, portrait, video editing and web...

You Said, "Nothing you have previously learned about photography and video changes just because the camera is now on a flying tripod." I do not shoot on "Auto" with my DSLR. I do shoot on "Auto" with my Drone. Do you know the difference between auto and manual on a DSLR? That has changed. If...

Well said. Experience is what I miss. Capturing an aerial image is not like taking the typical landscape image. Or interior point of interest image. Angle of view, height, time of day... when I take a landscape image I may visit the location several times and at different times. Have not had...

You said "DNG files from the Mavics are the raw files I said "DNG is a lossless format similar to RAW. Sorry for the confusion. Similar for me means something, considering at this point, the DNG format does not have the same flexibility as RAW does for me. Perhaps it's about teaching an old...

My initial thoughts or impressions my be due to little of no control of the camera. I shoot in manual RAW on my DSLR. The images are more to my liking as I begin processing. Shooting with Drone thus far everything is Auto. Appear dull and washed.

You are correct 10mb was typo. My 2 Zoom files are typically 24mb. Typical DSLR is 35mb.

DNG is a lossless format similar to RAW. However, unlike RAW that uses specific formats based on camera types or manufacturers, DNG stores image data in a compatible, generic format. ... In fact, DNG files are 15 to 20 percent smaller in size than RAW files without any loss of quality.

LOL You were wrong in your approach. End of that part of the discussion for me. PERIOD At this stage in my experience with Drone Photography I am not as comfortable with the DNG format as I am with the RAW images taken with my DSLR. A typical RAW image with my DSLR is 35mb. The DNG file is...

You just want give it up. You were wrong in your approach. Period!

GadgetGuy, @Meta4 Initial comments were not encouraging or helpful. What should someone's response to "You are joking, aren’t you”, be? Is that constructive? No, it is shunning. The writer is ATTEMPTING to cast negativity toward someone and elevate their own status of superiority. My purpose...

Meta4, You stated "A tiff file from a 3840×2160 video screen grab is going to be better than a dedicated still shot at 5472 × 3648 and appropriate shutter speed?? Photography at its best? You are joking, aren't you? Should I give up shooting stills? " What were your intentions? Unfortunate for...

No, I had not seen @Meta4’s work. It is outstanding! Clearly his/her goal was to shame or bully my response earlier in the thread. From his/her first comment and subsequent posts thereafter. Most school yard bullies do so to mask their own weakness. Clearly @Meta4’s does not need to mask...

Captured from video taken with Magic 2 Zoom. Open video in Adobe Premiere A tiff file from a 3840×2160 video screen grab is going to be better than a dedicated still shot at 5472 × 3648 and appropriate shutter speed?? Some cases yes! Photography at its best? Some cases Yes! You are joking...
