Yeah, 24/25 fps with no DPAF with a 1.6 crop factor is not good at all. The only good news that they can now do 4k h264 at 120 Mbits. Hopefully they can improve on the M5 II but I don't have too much hope now.... Currently cannon can read 4k 60fps with low rolling shutter but no oversampling (1dx II) with DPAF (even at 120fps fhd with DPAF). They can do 120 Mbits 4k h264 but have to disable DPAF and max 25fps. Maybe is just thermal issues from the small body but I'm not sure.... Not really good news in the video front

The Mavic Pro has basically only more fly time per battery and better radio signal. The rest the Air is better so I suppose in the next 3-6 months there will be an upgrade to Mavic Pro because there is basically no value on the Pro at the moment.... Ideally would be with a bit of a redesign to be able to host the P4p camera. Other than the crappy WiFi radio the rest I think is a very good drone for hobbits. Personally I don't like the video and photo quality of the Mavic Pro but for hobbits is quite ok. I find the P4p the bare minimum of acceptable quality. Hopefully the next round of upgrade of the Mavic Pro and Phantom series (if not merged) would bring even better video/photo quality.

It can be done with a Drone and is not that difficult but drones are less stable indoors than outdoor due to the lack of GPS signal. I have flown my DJI P4p many time indoors and if the indoor location is well illuminated is quite stable. For indoor the smaller the drone the better it is, because it can be more easily maneuvered, make less noise and the most important part they are less dangerous. A smaller drone like DJI Spark (HD only) with propeller guards is probably the best one for the indoor shoot. DJI Mavic would also work but it would be already quite big to maneuver in such small height advantage is that is 4k but also you can buy a full cage for propellers so no risk to cut the face or finger of the actor. Anyway I would not recommend flying so close over an actor head without a lot of experience. I would not buy a drone just for this shoot even if you need to redo it many times as Grimor said a Crane/JIb is way easier and safer and you can also record audio... drones indoors make tons of noise and some wind. Outdoor any good drone will do the job but pay attention that every country has its own altitude limits. All DJI drones are capped at max 500m altitude from takeoff point, but in many countries the law limit is way below.

I have the tiffen vari nd 82 and as other have mentioned it suffer from the x effect at maximum stop and it does not have hard stops that is a real pain. You simply bump the lens and it rotates so there is no way to fix the ND value. I would buy the Heliopan... buy the largest one that you need and some step down rings... it will not fit inside the hood of the smallest lenses...

Andrew, are you sure that Filmic Pro can turn off both EIS and OIS? this would be cool because OIS doesn't play well with gimbals like the Osmo.... I read that on older iPhones you could not disable the OIS.... Filmic Pro is probably the best app right now but I'm very frustrated with it... the "manual" exposure control are quite bad IMO. First if you set let say 240 fps capture and it allows to go to 1/60... ISO cannot be really set but just biased and it does not really work well, on low light it may max out at 486 ISO but in day light you can go to 900 ISO.... really wired... Would be cool to be able to set shutter angle and let ISO float and use ND to correct if needed but I could not find a way.... You lock the shutter speed at 1/480 and you try to influence the iso with the bias and boom it changes back to 1/60 even if it is locked.... Also at the moment the framerate are all over the place... you set 240 capture and 240 playback I get a file that 200fps.... if I set 240 capture and 25 playback I get a 15 fps file.... Additionally if you save the file from filmic pro to the photo library is converting it from h265 to h264.... why? Would be nice to know what is others experience because at the moment I cannot really trust this app.... So for me I really like the iPhone X and the cameras have potential but the apps are not there IMO, the default one is super limited that is almost embarrassing and Filmic Pro has potential but seems very buggy.

My preferred one is the 24 1.4 with the 1Dx II it makes around 32mm... second best 50 1.2 and sometime I use the 16-35 but I prefer a bit longer and with more shallow dof.... a wide angle all in focus shoot looks too much iPhone/osmo video....

Why you don't do all the editing in Resolve, it got much better over the years.... The studio version with the HW accelerated h264 decoding at least on Windows with Nvidia cards is quite fast so no need to transcode on a good PC, not sure on a Mac....

A good 4 core i7 machine with a good gpu you can edit in realtime 4k 60p MJPEG in Resolve. Jcs stated the same for premiere. In case of Resolve you gain nothing in converting to prores. If you search the forums you can see in which kind of HD it works...

The main goal of the X7 is to be able to put a S35 sensor on a relatively small bird. Up until now for putting a S35 sized camera even a DSLR you needed a much bigger, heavier and dangerous drone. Also having an integrated camera + drone makes controlling both a much much easier task especially over distance... To have such "small" drone lifting a S35+lens the main design goal was to keep it as light weight as possible especially the lenses. Did you see how small are the motors on the gimbal compared to Ronin MX or soo... One thing I'm disappointed is that any frame rate > 30 fps it is using a crop of the sensor "narrow" and also no mention other than the intro video how the AF works, MF apparently can be done with a follow focus wheel attached to the remote or via touch screen slider. I see the compelling idea of an Osmo solution with this camera but I think the main desing goal was really a drone first camera. Osmo would need to be quite big to accommodate the cpu, cinessd, battery....

I think from the size of the gimbal motors and the size of the camera I doubt that it can hold a "heavy" lens in front, this is why they designed it to be as short as possible and lightweight as possible. I highly doubt at this point that you can us many non "native" lens on it.... but let see

No info yet of AF.... 50 2.8 on APS-C you need AF or FF.... I bet it will be quite expensive but is very cool to have an 24 mpx APS-C camera in such a compact form factor and integrated in a still portable drone.... Looking forward to the first tests

AF is a big question mark and I expect the price to be quite high. I doubt that they can fit it on P4 class size although I agree with you it would be super cool. It is very good if they use CFast card but then it makes the inspire processing unit completely redundant... really curious to see what they came up with....

Can an MFT mount accommodate a Super35 (~APS-C) sensor/lens? I don't think is possible without a speed booster but then is not a Super35 sensor. From the leaked (assuming real) spec it is a Super35 mm sensor. Tomorrow we will know

very interesting curious to see what mount and wich lenses would be compatible and how to balance them.

I agree and the potential is huge and I belive most people have not yet realized the impact that will have in a few years.... having a full sphere stabilized where you can later on reframe and do camera movement in post especially as b cam it is huge. Currently the end quality is way too crappy but with 8k a better sensor and lens and it will become super usefull. I'm curious to see the gopro fusion if it is better althroug I'm not expectin miracle at this time.

It has a fixed aperture at F4. You can dream that it goes to F16 but they forgot to write it anywhere because is not that important;-) Action camera are used also in lowlight and combined with the light needed for hfr a 2.8 lens would be quite usefull. I do a lot of low light sports so for me 2.8 would have been better. DJI manages to put a 24mm 2.8-11 lens on a 1' sensor in a tiny package so Sony should have done it too...

It is not written in any specsheet so I doubt becuse everthing else is very detailed

I'm waiting since years that somebody does a better action camera than gopro and the new Sony it is interesting: https://www.sony.com/electronics/RX0-series But I wish they would have done it similar to the DJI Phantom 4 Pro camera that is also a Sony 1 inch sensor but with F2.8 up to F11, 4k 60p (although DJI in reality is 4k at 30p and at 2.7ish at 60p due to line skipping). I would have accepted that the RX0 is full HD only but at least with an aperture control and starting at 2.8. It can do 4k but only external that it defeats a bit the compactness advantage. Most probably a thermal problem that the Drone does not have having a cooling fan and open vents.

split shoots are quite hard with the ewamarine so you need to try and retry... best would be a dome instead of a flat port I think we tried like 20 dives for getting this one:

What kind of underwater shooting are you doing? Snorkeling? Pool? Diving? For diving buy or rent (if you find a place) a real housing with a port, dome etc.. but is really expensive and you need to change it when you change your camera. You need various ports depending on the lenses that you want to use. On the cheap side you can buy the bag has Inazuma suggested but that one is a pita because you always need to press the port to the lens... I had one and it was a real pain. I now use an ewamarine bag with the lens ring and is much better because the lens stays perfectly aligned with the port. It is still a pain to use but IMO way better: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/464106-REG/Ewa_Marine_EM_U_BXP100_U_BXP100_Underwater_Housing.html You need to setup all before because changing setting when inside the bag is a real pain... also you should lock the settings because it is so easy to change things by mistake. I even use my 1Dx in there but there is for sure a risk and you should double check every time that there is no leaking. My camera is insured so I take the risk

I'm very familiar with the DJI offer and not the Yuneec ones so I may be wrong but from the incredible poor website it seems that you need both the frame and the camera if you want the new 1inch camera: http://us.yuneec.com/commercial So for something similar in video spec 1 inch sensor 4k 60p as the P4p you would need 1999 + 1299 not really 300 cheaper or I'm missing something? Maybe you are comparing it to the Inspire 2 (the one that lift the legs) but is really another class of drone (58 mph). You can get the same camera on the 1800 usd P4p+ (controller with integrated display) or you can get the same camera spec on the P4 Advanced for 1200 usd. DJI offers integrated controller on the P4p+ and the new CrystalSky monitor/tablet https://store.dji.com/product/crystalsky?from=menu_products. But a lot of people don't like them because you cannot use 3 party apps like lichi, dronedeploy etc... With the CrystalSky you can always remove it and put a phone/tablet but then why not use phone/tablets. The DJI HW is really great the problem is the software quality. At every FW they improve something and break something else... I really hope Yuneec can become a real competitor forcing DJI to rise the software quality bar (right now they always ship beta quality software..).

1299 usd only the camera without the drone.... P4p seems a much better buy

Hi Oli, I really like your hyperlapses, I'm not a fan of the t/s effect so I would have preferred without it like the others in your channel but it is pure personal preference and it takes nothing away of the great job you did. I also read your article on fstopper and it is great with many insides. I have experimented a bit with my P4p for drone lapse and I'm not yet sure what is the best approach. The p4p can do 1 jpg every 2 seconds so with ND you can have between 1/2 to 1 second exposure and it gives really the sense of speed but is a pita to get a stable footage even after post stabilization and you need to fly super slow so it takes time and multiple takes as you mention in your article. Alternatively you can take a video and speed it up with the advantage that is more stable, you can decide later on the speed and do speed ramping effect and it takes less time. I did play around adding motion blur with Resolve Studio and you get a good effect but clearly not the same as a true hyperlapse. Best would be that the p4p could do a frame every 0.5 second at least in jpg or having vfr from 1 to 24 in video mode. Using litchi for mission planning I'm always scared about the altitude because I live in the mountains and I don't trust too much how you set the altitude. At sea altitude is easier:-) What is you opinion?

Apparntely according to the canon slide in the newsshooter review: http://www.newsshooter.com/2017/08/14/canon-c200-production-camera-review/ MXF intermediate codec will save to CFast only this sounds more 400 Mbits 10 bit than 8bit with less bitrate. But with Canon you never know.

I believe the 13'' MBP is dual core and I'm pretty sure that is not able to handle 4k 60p MJPEG in real-time in Resolve you need a quad core i7 notebook and good GPU... For 4k 60p RAW Light probably you need a 6 core desktop machine... If you use the 1DC with the EOSHD Log you will not see the difference with the 1DX II so you will gain DPAF, 4k 60p, 1080p 120fps, better rolling shutter and lose S35 and unlimited recording. So you know what you will get. For the C200 renting would probably be the best. For the C200B unfortunately you cannot retrofit the viewfinder so if you want to resell it in the future it may be harder to do... Here the C200 on a Ronin M: Hopefully they will sell a longer LCD-Camera cable because like this is not good
