Hi everyone, my first time posting on here. Hoping to both learn a lot from you guys and to contribute meaningfully.
I'm finding that whenever I shoot with my phantom 4, I'm getting grainy low quality footage. I just had my phantom 4 swapped out at BestBuy for a brand new one and I updated it to the newest firmware. My Lexar Micro SD is 1800x and read write test showed 170 mbps, so that can't be the problem. I changed my settings to D-Log, set everything to -3, put on the ND8 filter, and went out to fly. I then transferred the files to my computer and converted them to ProRes 422 HQ.
Attached are two short sample videos in different lighting. Both look blurry to me. The sunset canyon footage has a LUT filter added and the ocean footage is untouched. Videos were uploaded in ProRes 422 HQ.
Does this footage look blurry to you guys and how can I improve the image quality? Thank you in advance!
Edit: added still footage from my backyard for comparison
See attached backyard footage in normal color settings and d-log. The still image looks pretty good to me, but the 4k video still looks a bit worse IMO. What do you think?
Edit: took new footage today with DLOG at 0/-2/-2, DLOG at 0/0/0 and Normal mode. For some reason I think its still not that high of quality. To those of you that film regularly with Phantom 4s, are you getting results better than I have?
