A Mavic 3 will be shooting 10-bit whether it's outputting H265 D-Log or D-Log in ProRes. ProRes just has less compression, so it requires less processing power (and preferred by industry pros for that reason, particularly shops that use Macs), but there's no difference in colors and you'd...

I don't understand the distance videos on YouTube, it's just not an interesting topic to me. Even if BVLOS was allowed and with no limits, my willingness to risk losing my drone will run out waaaay before it starts nearing its maximum range. I don't think the FAA does or should care about...

I've never needed to worry about this level of fine-tuning, but the way I would approach this is to use an ND that is more matched to the 3x lens and keep the ISO as low as possible with that, with maybe a bit of breathing room. Then on the primary lens I'd just use ISO to match the exposure...

You might want to read the rest of my post before wagging your finger at me.

Except that permission is not theirs to grant? I'm not saying one shouldn't ask, or that asking isn't good practice (I wouldn't but that's just me), just that the stadium has no authority to refuse under the circumstances outlined by the OP. Edit: I'll add that I think the OP handled it well by...

This was my thought as well, although I think in reality it would only apply to you selling the images and/or using them commercially and not simply taking them (IME stock footage sites generally let you sell this type of stuff but the end use is limited to things like educational use). But of...

Just don't? Like seriously, that's really all I can say. If you aren't sure how to do it, then you probably shouldn't be doing it in a high-stakes situation like this. There are pilots/companies that specialize in indoor flying and have the insurance and all that to go along with it and it's not...

Well, for public space to work there has to be some priority given to government tasks. A municipality can close a park for maintenance, for example, and we generally agree that that's a necessary prioritization of a government task over the public's right at access that space. But that is less...

You both sound like jerks, so setting tone and attitude aside I'll say that I'm with the other guy in this situation. If a person is there to do a job, seemingly at the request of the local government, I think it's polite to defer to them, especially if you're just out for fun. Again, not...

So the issue with Resolve is the H265 codec and not LOG footage specifically (DJI records LOG footage using the H265 codec). My understanding is you can download the HEVC/H265 codec from the Windows store for $1 and then you can edit your LOG footage (although whether your computer can handle it...

6-8 seconds is a looooong time. Obviously there's no hard-and-fast rule, but I try to keep my long exposures under about 3 seconds. I think with my Air2s I could get sharp 2 second photos fairly consistently, 3 seconds required a few attempts, and any more than that there was a very low chance...

I get what you're saying, but raw video is the equivalent of raw stills and D-Log (or just LOG footage in general) is basically just a flat color profile (and not necessarily 10-bit, although newer DJI cameras pretty much all do LOG as 10-bit only). I don't say this to be pedantic. For video...

Highly doubt an Avata, as Avatas typically aren't used by FPV pros. Probably a small, custom-built cinewhoop? I'm very curious what camera they might have used as the footage looks too clean to be a GoPro or DJI Air Unit in such low light. I guess they could run it through Topaz, but even then...

I suspect Anker didn't understand the question, assuming that the batteries are charged on their own and not through a hub, perhaps? The power bank will work fine.

Because your post implies, through a very narrow use of the term "li-ion" (you say: "all DJI drones use lithium-ion chemistry batteries") that all of DJI's batteries are Li-Ion batteries. But there is a distinct difference between lithium-ion batteries and lithium-polymer batteries (similar...
