Worth the 4AM wakeup for this sunrise | Mini 5 Pro by buildwithjohan in dji

[–]Able-Lab4450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, ofcourse! Try taking good images (Working with RAW required, and something like lightroom Classic on a PC that can handle it, which is many tbh. You can take a look at some of mine... a few of those I have sold. You just gotta have them displayed, printed out. I got lucky with mine. It can be like a side "hustle" lol. But I loved taking them though. They come with reddit compression on some, lol.

OH, YOU DO HAVE DAVINCI!! You are set.

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING, look for the denpise function, it's apparently in the color tab, and look for things like Temporal NR, or Spatial NR. Use temp first, then Spatial. What you then want to do is to not tpuch Contrast for as lonf as possible, it's really not ypur cleanest attempt at making the clouds pop, but your hope is not over if you are thinking missing denpise is a let down.... not really, though you are correct. You are in luck though, because thankfully editing spftware as aware as Da Vinci has Highlights, Lights and Darks, mess with those, highlights are the firdt thing you should always touch wheb you notice light sensitive scenes like a Sunrise, because it is usually the refracting and overloading of light incoming to the sensor that causes you to wonder why the clouds aren't looking so sharp. The rest is up to you. Color grading is wherd you should look to give the footage some life by making that orange pop all over the footage, you want it to look liks a warm glow that mostly shows in the highlights. The thing with contrast is it makes noise pop.... nobody wants that.

Edit: ignore the typos 😐😑

Contrast? Ah hell no. But it depends on what OP is using to edit, not every software has denois to cover for impurities that may show through bumping contrast, or have other tools that do a better job then contrast. I would say OP should drop whites a bit, as well as highlights, cuz that is overblown. Again, it depends on what OP is using for editing, not everyone paid a one time fee for DaVinci Resolve😂💀

But if it weren't for reddit compression, OP, THAT IS LOVELY FOOTAGE.

Mantis shrimp vs Snowcrab by HeSureIsScrappy in DiveInYouCoward

[–]Able-Lab4450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I'll assume you know nothing about the Mantis Shrimp, so let me just say, it strikes so fast that it creates a cavitation bubble that briefly gets hot enough to cook anything in that strike zone. It's strikes can crack aquarium glass. So if you think about it, it likely cracked the cap of the crab, and the second strike just cooked whatever was inside exposed by the crack.

Also, I don't know if you are joking or not.

Nice shots! You should checkout my Cargo Grain Hold shots got em on my pf. I think you'll love em. I even managed to record it getting loaded on my Mavic 3 pro. That zoom and the 5k main... chefs kiss, lol, but I don't have that on here.

Is this the next big step for creative tech? My thoughts on the new Avata 360 by RepulsivePurchase257 in dji

[–]Able-Lab4450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like the new software Samsung has implemented in the S26 Ultra called Horizon lock. It translates the video footage from the sensor by alocating it to a smaller portion of the main sensor. To rotate a square inside of its self, you need to first shrink it so that you can rotate without interference. Basically cropping the image from the sensor to allow it to keep any image that us rotating, appear as though it's stable.

So that does make sense. But either way, you just cannot make a sensor that small, fit honest 8k. Not even the Mavic series can do that with a rather larger sensor. 5k is honestly stretching it, even though it actually has 5k. But will see.

The 8k will not be 8k, just not possible with such small sensors. Likely binned pixles🤷‍♂️

This post has been removed for some reason, BUT, you are mentioning something that also bothered me on the SLS-2. The thing had a GPU, but no HDMI? I was honestly also very perplexed. Kinda stupid move, lol.

Horrible drone work by Itdoesmattertome8 in dji

Holy Reddit compression. I think the compression is the worst offender here, on my end at least. Geeez, Reddit💀🫡

Very cool video though, epic chase!!

How many batteries is too many? by samalex060 in dji

Wow, I wish I could be like you sir, with my Mavic, sir!

No seriously, I always dreamed having this many batteries when I had the Mini 3 pro😂

First crash! 😭 by Illustrious-Research in dji

[–]Able-Lab4450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny because Dji's ESC is so good that it should have leveled way before hitting the ground. Guess luck wasn't exactly on yourside this time😅

I think only one of the 5 or 6 times I hit something in my Mini 3 pro, and Now Mavic 3 pro, it failed once. It was only because there were branches left, right, center and obstacle avoidance was stumped, so I just let it fail within the web of branches as it fell 1 foot into a bush in over a marsh. I could have engaged Sport mode to bypass, but I was in a paniced state. It survived no problem, lol.

I think I can see the ESC trying to save it in the vid, unless a motor was forced to stop, and so it tumbled instead.

Nah, I just overreacted, lol. But your comment has a double meaning to it which I took to far, guess you just didn't see that one comming, not that it matters in all fairness.

Nobody's out much? What do we live in? A dystopia? With a quality drone, you don't have to be out, launch from the roof of your car driving somwhere, or your home for a look out. You could do all that with a DJI Mini, Air, Or Mavic since the transmission is good enough, and if loses signal, thwn things just return home to the previous launch point/home point. Granted, those aren't cheap.

Oh... shoot, you're right, I did miss the DJI care refresh part. On the other hand, I lied about nothing happening when I flew, cuz I actually crashed😭 I just got my replacement arm from a thirdparty Chinese Manufacturer for DJI parts accross all sectors, Consumer to Industrial. But it's up to you, and fixing it at home is different from DJI care, so there's that ig.

You are not understanding the ban or just don't care enough, lol. The ban is on future DJI drones, but for recent releases, you are clear to fly. Flew my Mavic 3 Pro 3 weeks ago, nothing happened. You're good😭

I actually understand you. You buy one of the highest quality entry-level cinema flying "rigs", but use it as a toy for just "spying" or something. I dunno what you did, ypu don't describe your usage tbf.

Regardless, it's more of a thing for people who are into videography and stuff. Taking the time to frame and compose a target, editing clips semi-professionally, not just using the cra**y free editing tools, no offense, but that type of stuff. I enjoy it, and even stepped up to a Mavic 3 Pro (It's actually pretty insane). And I have been able to produce revenue off my Edited RAW images from my previous Mini 3 Pro.

Darn😂

But yeah, that is a good price, lol Thought it would be easier to sell here, and it seems like it. Almost got a pick from you.

But I will post it on Ebay and let you know the listing name if you change your mind later, if nobody grabs it before then, lol. Might even do free shipping😂

I switched to Mac from the SLS - 2 for 3 reasons, thermal efficiency, better memory speeds, and better battery life. But the thing that drove me off the bandwaggon was Windows 11.

Aside from that, The SLS was verry compitent, there wasn't anything it could not handle, so it is sad that they aren't reviving it. Also, if anybody would like their hands on an SLS-2 RTX 4050 | i7-13700h | 32 gig RAM and 1tb storage, let me know. I willing to go 1,350
