    My first work of art - Kefalonia, Greece

    You did a great job. Very nice footage. Overall it looks a bit flat, try to add some more contrast, especially a bit darker blacks.

    Mavic Pro: why DJI doesn't fix this huge flickering/compression problem?

    I did all the tests you are just doing long time ago. The GOP issue was annoying me to a state, where i wanted to stop using the mavic. I tried a lot of settings and settled with 2.7k and +1 on sharpness and working with neat video. I did this small comparison a while ago. No neat video used in...

    Watercolour no more.

    I am shooting 2.7k with 30fps and sharpness on +1 for weeks now. I was telling people the same things over and over again, but its hard when the comments were like -3 to -1 on sharpness first. Does not work for the mavic! 2.7k gives me the best results, especially with sharpness +1. does not...

    How many SD cards for a road trip?

    I am currently travelling Malaysia and after that Indonesia. So far my backup solution works great. I only have 2x 64gb sd cards. I backup my mavic footage and fujicam photos to my toshiba aerocast wifi harddrive. You dont need an interface for the backup. Just plug in the sd card and the drive...

    Podcast - Ask Drone U

    -2 on sharpening, i doubt it. Cant believe that you dont have water color issues with that one! Everything under 0 has the effect of ugly noise reduction. I agree on 2,7k. Gibes best result of bit per pixel for "me"

    Petronas Twin Towers . Kuala Lumpur . Malaysia

    Amazing shots. I just came back from KLCC, went up with my Mavic there and got almost arrested as the security saw the drone. I had to take it down and delete the footage. By the way, how die you fly above 120m because it is limited by the dji software. You took off from a high building, does...

    Mavic Resolution 7 Details comparison 4k vs 2.7k ; JPG vs. DNG

    See this video I made, which shows the compression of the codec the higher you go with the resolution and the more frames you have set. See the description in the video for more info.

    Mavic Resolution 7 Details comparison 4k vs 2.7k ; JPG vs. DNG

    Let me tell you this. I did some tests again, especially at sunset with lower light. I tried different settings. Settings that works best for me are: 2,7k with 30fps, more importantly +1 on sharpness in lower light to maintain the details (yes even on tree branches etc...) The compression is...

    Comparison video of D log and regular mode?

    I'm in the same situation. We will be out on a trip to Malaysia and Indonesia in a week from now. I will record everything in 2,7k 30fps. Thinking of sending in my mavic after the trip.
