I see that it's 10bit, but I'm not seeing anything that says if it's 4:2:2.
Anyone have an update?
 
Remember you're only going to get 10 bit in the 4k-HD video mode not the others so maybe look at the file recorded in that to check?
 
It's 4:2:0. Thank God somebody at DJI was smart enough NOT to overload this H.25 HEVC CODEC with double the chroma resolution (4:2:2) while still leaving it at 100Mbp/s. It's already bad enough that they added 40+ times more color space with 10bit and didn't even add ONE single megabit to cover that overhead. Yes, HEVC is more efficient, but DJI is only using MAIN profile, not HIGH profile. So, DJI's H.265 HEVC is only uses a fraction of the H.265 HEVC tool set. It's a "light" version of H.265 HEVC!

10bit, 4:2:0 at 150mbp/s would have been perfect.

Most cameras that do that operate at 160mbits plus for a reason!
DJI is never great with codecs, look what they did with h264 and compression. They dont like providing bandwidth.

What i can see is a huge number of people complaining they cant playback or easily edit stuff they've shot in HEVC.
