    Mavic 2 Pro vs Mini 3 Pro

    I sold my M2P with the SC, Litchi & hacks installed and bought the Mini 3 for less. I do not think I will miss Waypoints or Litchi but will enjoy the weight, size (with the corresponding legal advantages) and superior video quality. The only downside is that oversharpening of the mini but I...

    Mini 3 - 10Bit recording

    Ok, seem as if DJI has changed their Business moral for 180°, coming from overstating and under-deliver, to understating and over-deliver 😂

    Mini 3 - 10Bit recording

    I am not alone with this opinion: FW thread in DJI forum ;)

    Mini 3 - 10Bit recording

    Sure, this is what I would expect. BUT looking at the wave form (99% clear blue sky) footage, it tells me something different., Please check the clear sky footage: https//fam-roesch.net/video/Mini3_Sky.zip

    Mini 3 - 10Bit recording

    DJI will never tell us anything. I am just remembering their pixel-binning gate of the Mavic 2 "Hasselblad" 😂 Additionally I cannot find any official DJI specs of the Mini 3 stating the 8-bit. Only the "Pre-Testers" spread it.

    Mini 3 - 10Bit recording

    Well, this could be the case, but WHY should DJI do this? Just to bloat the files with 2 unused bits/pixel? It could have made sense for the "HQ" (whatever they exactly do there) to store the additional information gathered. But It also applies to 60fps non-HQ footage. Additionally, if the IPU...

    Mini 3 - 10Bit recording

    I posted sample footage here: Sample Footage The bitrate of 60 fps files is ~150bps and the 30fps ones around 95bps But the strange thing is the "10bit" footage is also the case with 60fps, where "HQ" cannot be selected. It seems to correlate with the d_cinelike setting.

    Sample Footage

    Here is set of 4 videos a 20sec 30fps normal 30fps d_cine 60fps normal 60fps d_cine including the srt files for details. It is always the same high contrast sundown of today. https://fam-roesch.net/video/Mavic3footage.zip (1,2GB)

    Mini 3 - 10Bit recording

    If you ask me who I trust more... DJI or MediaArea.net...😂 But it could be that the readout is done in 8 bit and then manipulated and saved in the 10bit format. (Btw. Premiere also recognizes it as: Videocodec-Type: MP4/MOV H.264 10 bit 4:2:0 ) But regardless of that, I did some tests and...

    Mini 3 - 10Bit recording

    I just received my Mini 3, updated the firmware and created some sample footage in d_cinelike. Wondering what the "HQ" means in 24, 25 and 30fps I selected it and checked the files with the astonishing result: and

    DNxHD or ProRes for video production

    Well that's exactly what I do when I am traveling. Convert it to dnxhdr so my travel-notebook can handle the data. Storage is quite cheap and it has 2TB M2 drives.
