Yes, my tech got right on this and is in direct communication with the engineers in Australia where the Decimator is manufactured. Thanks for the reply.

I have been using an Inspire 2 for Network broadcasts for years but wish to incorporate my Mavic 3 Cine as well. The mobile trucks want 1080i so I purchased a Decimator from B&H that converts HDMI to 1080i SDI. I received it a few days ago and it doesn't seem to work. It shows no signal into the...

I would renew your refresh, if it was me. I fly professionally and pay a lot of money for insurance, for the drones and for liability. Every year the premiums go up, but I have to have insurance or I can’t work. The refresh fee is less money than what the insurance companies charge for what they...

Finally processed on YouTube. Here’s a link to the YouTube post. I’ll post some night aerial HDR at some point.

Haha, thanks

You're welcome. I posted that video a few minutes ago that was in the screen grabs, if anyone is interested in viewing. This has nothing to do with aerials, but very much to do with HDR. One of my disappointments with shooting and processing Northern lights, was trying to show off the amazing...

It should not matter. D-Cinelike is an excellent starting point. I don’t think Resolve will determine D-Cinelike any different than regular D-log. Again you can check the input color and gamma Resolve has assigned to each clip in the media room. If it misses for some reason, assign the color...

I can help you out. I'm a Dolby certified colorist for television and web. Davinci Resolve is a good choice for your HDR work. I know I addressed this in some posts about a year ago, but here's a quick synopsis. First of all almost all video acquisition can be turned into HDR, but for stunning...

I have the RC Pro on Mavic 3 and had connection problems for a long time. I contacted support and they asked me to try an Android phone. I told them that I only owned an iPhone and people in my office are also on iPhone. A friend suggested I delete all previous connections on the controller and...

I’m pretty sure you need an advanced license if you are making money. Here’s a website that addresses everything to do with flying drones in Canada. The Transport Canada website can be difficult to navigate. There are questions from operators near the end, some specifically asking about selling...

Although you say you fought with DaVinci, what about taking some footage into Resolve just to compare and see if you get the same dark results? By default Resolve will create a Rec 709 project unless you choose to color manage, which I assume you wouldn’t. In the media room apply the Dlog LUT to...

You must be doing something wrong because D-Log is a beautiful thing. Besides flying drones, I am a colorist and have finished 30 feature films in my career so I can clearly say, shoot D-Log and not Rec 709. The color gamut (color world visible to the human eye) an and dynamic range is much...

I operate mostly in Canada and while this ban in the USA shouldn’t affect me, Canada does tend to follow the USA rules of the sky. I have a DJI Inspire 3 in my cart to replace an aging Inspire 2, but this could be a very expensive business mistake should Canada also ban drones from China. Has...

Good idea. I’ll do that.
