PannySVHS Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Why do camera producers have a hard time to put the codec options out for convinient and comprehensible reading. DJI and ZCam are nervewrecking when it comes ot codec infos. 10bit, 422, bitrate, framerates, that´s what we want to know about, the top specs and those easily accessible to read, pleaaaaase. Mini 3 Pro is still 8bit and most of the low and mid range Zcams don´t offer Prores. Shouldnt be too hard to make that more transparent. It´s no fun wasting time trying to find the hard facts when they should be headline, even if they suck but then even moreso.

PannySVHS Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Thank you for letting us know. I just read about last years firmware update about Prores. Vendors unfortunately don't always the specs. Just checked a german vendor for the e2 mft and it says h265 in zillion resolution flavors but no mention of prores. Zcam has so many e2 models. I have a hard time to figure out which are which. Is there an E3 or was it an E2 M3 and was it mft or S35?😊 TomTheDP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted May 21, 2022 Author Share Posted May 21, 2022 WTH is going on here along with my fellow members in this forum? This is a hell of a release... Under 250g :- ) <<The recent DJI Mini 3 Pro firmware v01.00.0100 update has quietly added 10-bit color when shooting in the D-Cinelike picture profile. Furthermore, the update adds true vertical shooting, additional framerates and resolutions, and a variety of automatic shooting modes. Here is the full list of new features and improvements from DJI: True Vertical Shooting FocusTrack APAS 4.0 (Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems) Hyperlapse MasterShots QuickShots QuickTransfer Panorama 4K/48fps, 4K/50fps, and 4K/60fps 1080p/120fps to Slow Motion greatly improved image quality optimized flight stability.>> From here. With Philip Bloom's video too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 They are making it pretty hard to do Drones in this country anymore. By the time I learned how to fly one they would probably be outlawed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herein2020 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I quit DJI a few years ago, they make fantastic drones but the horribly invasive geofencing was the last straw for me. The best drone in the world is the one that takes off each and every time you need it to. I now use an Autel EVO II 6K and it fits my needs perfectly. I use the LAANC system here in the USA to get flight auth, I don't need my drone demanding that I get approval from it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Autel offer or I wouldn't have posted here and there but the whole point is what DJI delivers today -- Autel cannot compete: Nor Nano+ against the Mini 3 Pro @ 4K 60p.

My point was that all the paper specs don't mean anything if the drone won't take off every time you need it to. I live in an area surrounded by airports, and I had nothing but problems flying DJI drones due to geofencing. So for me today, the best drone on the market for what I need is the Autel EVO II 6K. Sure on paper the latest DJI drones have better camera specs, but I am shooting commercial drone jobs nearly daily with the EVO II so it is the best drone to me. When it comes to drones and cameras in general, it is the whole ecosystem that makes one platform a better fit for your work flow vs another; paper specs are only a small part of it. Pretty much any modern drone or camera is overkill for most people, its the rest of the story that makes a difference. webrunner5, Emanuel, Kisaha and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 The best bang for the buck to me are one of these birds. : ) From same pilot: Rome on Mavic 3 & Istanbul on Mini 3 Pro. - EAG Juank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
