OliKMIA Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hi, Since the drones are becoming trendy I just put a few clips together showing the difference between all the different DJI Mavic "color mode" https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7MbHg2isoWXVlhqVUw1UERHeVU/view?usp=sharing The files are straight from the memory card without any encoding. The Mavic was updated with the latest firmware as of February 14. Each clips is 50 seconds, switching color modes every 10 sec in that order: D-Cinelike D-Log None TrueColor Art >>> Settings: - WB: Sunny - AF: set manually - Style: Standard (+0,+0,+0) - Exposure: Manual Exposure (0 EV) - Resolution and Frame rate: 3840x2160 (UHD) at 29.97fps Feel free to download and try your own grading. Obviously the light (clear bright sunny day) won't fit all scenario but it will give you an idea. Kisaha and sanveer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be too much to ask, to be able to see it on Vimeo, instead of downloading it Nice work, though. PB had done a similar review of the Mavic a little while ago. I am curious to see your version on this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliKMIA Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 @sanveerI can upload it on vimeo but I think the point is to have the original file and try grading it. Looking at compressed video on vimeo won't help much to assess the grading latitude. What do you think ? Kisaha and sanveer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are members from all over the world, including many places wheer 4k 50MB/s downloads won't really be possible. For them Vimeo has lesser resolution options. That's my opinion.

wolf33d Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I have done this test with the new d-log released few days ago compared to other color mode. Color grade is horrible, it is just to see how it holds up see the comment in my YouTube description log is no good for Mavic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 @wolf33d Do you know if that footage was shot with the recently updated Log profile? I just saw this video earlier this week, which supposedly fixed the crappy log of the previous mavic firmware: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf33d Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Which video? The one you posted? I don't know my video above uses the new DLog yes Parker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 The image is very similar to the Phantom 3 I guess, which I detaste anyway. In 2017, where 4K crop cameras can be found with a few hundreds of money, the old action cam size is not enought. That is why I do not own a goPro, or any action cam, as I prefer a cheap 1080p APS-C sensored ultra compact mirrorless, and add a pancake fish eye on it. For a few hundred more euros, I am considering the 4pro. Yes it is bigger, yes it is more expensive, yes the batteries are very expsensive (while the "Mavic Fly more" version has 3 batteries) but that 1" camera is something we were waiting for a long time in consumer, semi-pro territory. Maybe the next Mavic will have the same 1" camera, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon, when the Mavic "just" started to ship and has a huge waiting list at the moment? Of,course you can have it with you at all times, but why to do that on a semi-professional level (it also diminishes its role, as producers will expect to use it all the time and at very low cost anyway), and it misses the importance of doing "drone work", it can become routine, while the size and video files of the 4pro will make it a more serious choice, as DJI planned it to be.

The worst thing actually here is the aliasing and even more sharpening which even pronounces it. Looks terrible, regardless of the color. Even my Samsung Galaxy S7 produces less harsh looking video. Did the Mavic have less sharpening applied with earlier firmwares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No always that much. I did not add any sharpening deezid and hassanltd 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliKMIA Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 Hi guys, someone contacted me, asking if he could use this footage and publish it on youtube. Feel free guys, use it as much as you want and publish it. I don't mind, I just did that for the community. No need to ask permission.
