Only one person willing to give current advice?

Hi everyone. Believe me I know that there has been thread after thread about camera settings. And I know that determining the 'best' settings means doing some testing and understanding how you plan to use your video work. About 10 days ago I had the pleasure of finally retiring from a 36 year...

Hi everyone. I have been extremely busy in recent months and as such, haven't had time to do anything with my MP. This past week I built a new killer computer. Today I installed DJI Assistant 2. Then I connected my MP controller to it and when the screen populated, there was no firmware listed...

Hi everyone. Let me begin by saying I know there has been a lot of discussion about this over time. However, I am still confused. I don't really think I have a good understanding of the focus process with the mavic. I am confused by: 1. Is there an infinity focus? 2. Do you just set focus once...

I never saw an answer to this question posted. Could someone respond to help me out too? Thanks.

I use a grey card with my camera. I did not know the mavic could do custom WB. I will have to check into that.

Not sure what you mean by Don't touch any other settings. Can you give me a couple of examples of settings I would not want to touch. I am guessing you might be referring to having changed the white balance to Cloudy but what else. I still want to shoot 2K and have the shutter speed twice the...

Hi folks. I have uploaded a short video I took on my Mavic yesterday. I would like help figuring out how to make it better. But first some things to consider: 1. It is shot in DLOG (+1,-1,0 per recommendation for using Icarus LUTs). 2. I believe I had the camera set to 2K, 30 FPS. 3. No post...

Glad someone said that. I was going to say the same thing but I figured someone else would chime in LOL.

Yeah, thanks, I know I have to experiment. It's just I'm not experienced with color correction/grading either so as I start to learn with DaVinci Resolve, I want to make sure I am learning with usable footage and not footage that is a wreck due to lousy settings in the first place. If my source...

Really nice video. You've given me the confidence to try Dlog even though some people say not to use it :-)

Yeah I have been reading about Cinelike being the consensus. How about color grading when using Cinelike. Any suggestions for that? Do you color grade when using Cinelike? If so, what are good LUTs for that style? If I've interpreted what I've read correctly I should be shooting for a frame...

No other suggestions? Come on, help out a new guy :-)
