    Another poor mavic shoot?

    same story, same boat. Glad to see the platinum doesnt have a camera upgrade - id be pissed. Epic fail on dji's part not doing it tho.. its a flying camera, and they upgrade the props and change the colour? baha

    Another poor mavic shoot?

    what im finding is its hard to gauge the right exposure on the mobile taking into consideration -scene brightness/kelvin -what filters on, -which mode and style and iso seems im getting home and the footage / images are too dark or too light. theres always room to move in post but the better...

    great tip.= Dlog / EV+2 is this only if at iso500 or if 100 as well. I was just looking over yesterdays footage and its a bit dark at ev0 / iso 100 see if i can fix in premiere

    I know lightroom/PS/ post. That's not the issue. It's the camera output Some say the lines are prop flare. Some say jello. Fixes are shot direction and lenses- solved. I get the sensor is small. It just seems there's a large difference between the camera quality from unit to unit. While the...

    The threads evolved into still and vid as the same issues affect both, jello, flare, quality, shutter ( although shutter for different reasons)

    Thanks, Looks like ill be accepting the side blur. My workaround will be to crop out the sides by down scaling in premiere to 1080 as that all i output,..

    Update. I concede the shutter on stills can/needs to be higher. That put away, the last gripe is the blury sides / focus / detail on both stills and vid. I note many have this issue and some return for repair and some accept it as normal. Can you guys look at this to give opinion on weather...

    another thought for the blurry edges... What about shooting in 2.7k and zooming in to cut out the blurry edges? Or will this just move the blur inwards?

    as for the blurry edges, im thinking its just a cheapish camera and to deal with is by cropping or adjusting the focus point as suggested by others...

    Another poor mavic shoot?

    I started by asking why are my images so crap, not so much RAW, more lack or image quality.. it seems most threads merge to video comments as well as they are closely related. so what im getting is slow shutter for vid (2x) fps), use a nd to achieve this on a bright day. - all agreed. where it...

    Thanks for your input. I was running 4K but read the mavic doesn't Handle it so well and 2.7 was better while still being able to crop a bit

    Another poor mavic shoot?

    yea, better right.? i had cine / 2.7k but dont know what the setting was today as the update may have changed it. ill confirm cinelike, drop sharpness, set raw. PP vivid filters are ordered and on the way. not sure on the shutter, i checked the still shutter 1st at 1/1000 with no filter, ran...

    Another poor mavic shoot?

    ok, So i updated, and set out with a ND16 filter - much better results. sharpness is better although not perfect. perhaps im just used to my dslr and asking too much from the little f2.2 sensor? images shutter was way down to 1/100 & 1/150 One big issue still is side focus. im getting blurry...
