This year has been a great year for me and my family as we have gotten to travel quite a bit. We went to Argentina, Costa Rica, and South Africa. And my Mavic Pro went with me everywhere. I set it up to shoot at 1080p/24 using Custom Style and D-Log before the first trip. Then I manually set the iso and shutter speed before each flight using a ND filter and the Polar Pro app.
I don't have any experience with D-Log, and I didn't have a computer capable of color correcting it. But I planned on building a new computer to edit and color grade later. Well, now it's later, and my computer is built. Unfortunately, it looks like ALL of my video is 1080p/60 with Vivid color and no D-Log!
First of all, why on earth doesn't the DJI Go4 app retain it's settings!? That doesn't seem too difficult. Shame of me for not checking, but I treated the Mavic Pro like an aerial camera. The settings in my Canon camera stay the same until I change them, even with a battery swap. Secondly, there seems to be no way to tell which of your videos was shot in D-Log or any other color profile because that information is not recorded ANYWHERE. Again, why is this so difficult?
I hope that somebody reading this learns from my mistakes. DJI needs to decide if the Mavic Pro/Platinum/Zoom/2 are just expensive toys or true aerial photographic platforms. Until they upgrade the DJI Go app to have more professional features, my belief is that it is still just a toy.
