Ha, like I said John I haven't gotten a chance to grade it yet. I've applied the DJI LUT to it in Resolve as a basic test and haven't spotted any banding yet, though there is a bit of color noise. I'm going to give D-cine a try and see how it goes-- I'm mostly just concerned with retaining the...

That's good to know Tomas, I've seen banding before on 8-bit cameras like the a7S, but thankfully I've been spared it on the Phantom so far. If it starts cropping up, I'll consider switching to D-Cine.

Just curious what you mean by reduced tonality here Tomas? I've been using D-log specifically to retain more dynamic range.

I've only just started shooting the film I bought it for, but so far I'm happy with the results when using D-log color and sharpening down to -3. Here's a test clip (shot at 4K H.265 and converted to ProRes LT) Dropbox - DJI_0015-Apple ProRes 422 LT.mov It's definitely a little soft/compressed...

Thanks guys. I'm thinking I may have to borrow a friend's P4 and test it out for myself before purchasing. Maybe I'll do a comparison of ProRes (from a professional camera) and the Phantom. I'll report back when I can!

I'm looking to purchase a drone, and tying to strike a balance between ease of use and image quality. I've heard a lot about how simple the Phantom is to use (easy flight modes, refined software, collision avoidance...) but I've never been satisfied with the image quality. I assumed this was due...

So you're saying it can carry up to 600 grams outside of it's own body? Or do I have to factor in the body itself? I'll definitely post pics if/when I get it to go!

Thanks everyone for the replies! Jack, are you saying no additional weight at all can be added? I've seen a couple videos where people attach things or have the Phantom lift things... the Phantom sometimes struggles with it, but it still seems to work... Sadly the Inspire is a little out of...

Hello everyone! I'm a low-budget filmmaker. I love the design, ease-of-use, and price of the Phantom (especially now that the P3 can be had for very good deals). Unfortunately the video quality just isn't quite good enough for high-quality film work. Even on the 4K model, the compression and...
