    Should I buy a M1P/MPP in 2022? Convince me :D

    I'm in Aussieland so the shipping might not be worth it. Thanks though :)

    mate, 100% agree with you on the music, it's really hard to find good music :(

    Should I buy a M1P/MPP in 2022? Convince me :D

    I recently sold my air 2s.... for the second time. Not sure why, my heart wasn't in it. Suddenly I'm interested in getting an old Mavic pro, they are pretty cheap second hand so less fear of losing it and more likely to be used. Also, it's nostalgic for me, I bought the orginal M1P in Shanghai...

    thanks mate much apreciated, was thinking of doing another very similar video but shooting dlog 48fps instead (48-60p crop in the image but still looks crisp).

    thanks, that's good to know. check out my more recent uploads too, I have moved away from shooting in normal colour profile. As discussed with another user on here and thanks to their suggestion, I now know I can get the same amount of cropping shooting 4k48p and still have access to dlog.

    yeh looks good, the osmo isn't too bad. The naration is good too. I often find myself shooting in poor lighting situations, or rapidly changing lighting, such is Tasmania. Ideal would be a drone with adjustable aperture (will wait to see what the air 3 might offer) and handheld camera with...

    yeh just today we went on an amazing walk up to a place called pelverata falls in Tasmania. Whole time I was thinking I need a good handheld camera to mix with drone shots.

    Can we convince DJI to enable d-log + zoom at same time?

    That air 2s video is great, really cool editing and shifting between the music, I like the style. I'll give 5.4k another chance but but definitely 4k48p first. I don't know why I just feel 4k looks better, maybe 5k looks too detailed to me? Can't quite put my finger on it. I used to use 5k all...

    thanks for the chart. you should upload a video of your air 2s footage with topaz, sounds really interesting. yes normal colour profile is quite bad, it's not too bad in well lit situations but it destroys the blacks and makes the image look quite cheap. If you use premiere, add the faded film...

    Thanks yeh I might give 48fps a go, I tried 60fps before and I don't know why but in my eyes the image quality just looks way better at 24fps... perhaps it's just in low light situations.

    thanks yeh I will try make a shot like that a bit longer next time but they're nervous birds and she flew off just after that clip was cut xP yeh a friend of mine who is much more computer savvy than I recommended IPS panel, something like 27" dell which often goes on special here on their...

    Incredible feedback everyone thankyou. Regarding the monitor issue, I think my next purchase for this year is a new monitor, I use quite an old TN panel 1980x1200 thing. Had alot of trouble getting the dark areas to the right level even after calibrating (visually not with a tool), images...

    thanks Rich what excellent feedback. You're 100% right with the story telling bit this is really by far the bit I struggle with most and because of this I was thinking I should start uploading shorter, perhaps even single shot, one movement no edit constant flow style shots of an interesting...

    Shot in normal colour profile and graded. I can take criticism, looking for unfiltered raw feedback on my video so I can improve my shots and editing etc. cheers! :D Zac

    Can we convince DJI to enable d-log + zoom at same time?

    I'm still learning about how this all works but from what I understand, when you shoot 4k the actual size of 4k does not use the whole sensor as 20mp is much bigger than 4k.... DJI has some way to use the extra pixels to "over sample" the image. So when you zoom (in camera), to a point, the...
