  • i noticed first of all the air 3s really sharpens things so i went ahead AFTER the video was shot and reduced sharpening by -2, is it enough ??...
  • i have to admit the WB kicked my ***, at one moment the gimbal tilted down 90 degrees water looked gorgeous and VIVID, the second moment gimbal shifted up at horizon level colors looked washed out (u cant see that in video coz i added sat.) and many say its due to WB, so how to fix that ??... is it a case in all shooting scenarios or only sea and desert ??...
  • from now on i might stick to D-Log, as am not super excited with this first result, is the air 3s particularly picky about colors and WB ?? coz with my previous Air 2s i never had to shoot anything other than Normal mode,


thanks,,,
 
Circle shot was awesome, colors to washed out , white Ballance all over , lock in exposure ,and let auto do the rest.
Cinematic shots were done really well.

One thing to remember is that you dont always have to be in motion you can hover in the path of the boat so your relatively still and move up as the boat comes into you or away from you. this makes for a very dynamic shot and its still safe as your keeping your height adjusted.

Sadly the quality of the video is just not there for me, I watched on the 20 Ft Projector Screen and errors showed up on the quality of the footage.

Super shooting Looked to be a cloudy overcast day that imparted saturation and contrast Overall Sweet love the circling fishing boat/Yacht. Excelente

U r particularly right about that, it was really cloudy that day, so what settings do I need on those days to get a proper image saturation etc...?!...

U r absolutely right i did say it gave me trouble color correcting and am not found myself of the looks really it was too washed out, how is locking the exposure gonna help if any i admit i don't understand this particular concept!!... and what the hell can I do about the WB in such scenarios when it's really cloudy ?!?.....
 
Sorry for the dumb question but am still trying to make sense from the lock exposure thing, so the idea is to basically when flying the drone simply find the best exposure and lock it for the entire flight regardless of the camera Angles of view ?...

Also not sure why the normal mode produced a very washed out look, and how to fix that...
