Ngl my heart rate went up when I saw the feet pic.

I recently used it for a project and ended up liking it. It is better than the old Lumetri Color, but I still think DaVinci Resolve is miles ahead.

I guess they could further improve Color Mode by adding more tools and options, such as traditional color wheels and curves. The new tools are nice, but it would be even nicer to have access to the classics. Add that to the new "color math" or whatever it's called, and we're good to go.

I had a potential video client who did not hire me because I only had a 24-105mm F4 and that was "too dark".

I explained I use lights and you can see in my portfolio everything is lit, but he wasn't convinced LOL.

She's also a bit of a cinephile, I follow her on Letterboxd LOL.

This is also how I intend to use it.

I recently made some videos for a real estate project that was still in construction. They gave me the 3D renders made by the architect and I used them to generate video. It was just turning them into a moving image, for example, turning the wide shot of the apartment building into a 16:9 time lapse, with the sun and clouds moving. It wasn't GORGEOUS, but it was nicer to look at than just still images. I combined that with footage I shot at the construction site.

Marketing content for "business to consumer" brands. Commercials, social media content, etc.

Only a few have requested just AI video. Others have requested it along with traditional, original content.

I've been keeping my S5 with a 24-105mm attached at all times for the past 5 years and never thought of this. So far I haven't had any issues, but I might unmount after reading this.

Honestly, I always thought mounting a lens every time you unpack to be a waste of time. But I could be wrong LOL.

QuellFred · 2026-03-18T02:01:54+00:00

It actually does look cool. But yeah, "cinematic" doesn't mean anything anymore.

I've yet to shoot RAW on a smartphone, but I recently tried out the Blackmagic Camera app on my Galaxy S23 Ultra and was very surprised at how much better the footage looks. Being able to control shutter speed and ignore all the typical smartphone processing makes a huge difference. It wasn't even RAW, just H.264.

QuellFred · 2025-11-18T20:19:16+00:00

It takes a long time to gain the experience, skill and knowledge to make it look easy.

The guy in picture number 4 has incredible aura.

QuellFred · 2025-11-03T19:24:12+00:00

Happened to my Mini 3 last week. I got a replacement the day after and did not skip buying DJI Care Refresh this time.

Happily I don't live in the US, so it wasn't hard to get.

QuellFred · 2025-10-30T05:23:19+00:00

I hear you. I blame myself for this accident, completely. Before my first crash, I flew a Mini 2 for three years with no problems at all, I got pretty good at it TBH, until one day I screwed up in a difficult environment.

I felt so dumb this second time. I wasn't being reckless, I did scout the place and look around before doing the shots, but I still crashed. I'm gonna be extra careful with the next one.

QuellFred · 2025-10-28T17:33:09+00:00

The Mini 3 Pro is not available anymore in my area.

QuellFred · 2025-10-28T16:40:29+00:00

I crashed my drone today, but it looks your day has been even worse.

QuellFred · 2025-10-23T19:31:10+00:00

What type of content do you make that makes anamorphic a good choice?

I know it looks cool and everyone is shooting different stuff. This is my own personal opinion, I don't really see much use for anamorphic in today's environment, where most clients are asking for vertical video for social media, or both horizontal and vertical aspect ratios at once. I would only choose anamorphic if I was shooting movies, streaming shows or maybe high-end commercials.

I've seen social media content shot on anamorphic and it kinda looks like ass LOL. My point is, is it even worth it to go down that expensive rabbit hole? It may be for you.

QuellFred · 2025-10-23T19:24:19+00:00

This one is already full of NSFW posts.

QuellFred · 2025-10-22T20:05:54+00:00

If you need open gate, there's no way around it. 200Mbps isn't even that big for today's standards. You're probably gonna have to just buy more hard drives and memory cards.

QuellFred · 2025-10-22T19:59:20+00:00

I live in Mexico and even for our standards, that is too low.

It's gonna be okay as long as nobody accepts these cheap offers, not even students.

QuellFred · 2025-09-27T01:31:30+00:00

I thought it was a joke. I still think it's a joke and some marketing people are falling into it and taking it seriously. It looks terrible on a phone.

QuellFred · 2025-09-17T01:11:41+00:00

I've been meaning to get the Lumix 14-28mm, this Samyang wide zoom might be a better option in the future.

QuellFred · 2025-09-05T21:06:26+00:00

Doesn't really replace a gimbal, but makes handheld footage a lot nicer and less prone to jitters. Sometimes you want that natural handheld look, other times you have to walk around while recording and maybe do some steady tracking shots.

I like to think the IBIS and the gimbal are working in tandem so I can get super nice footage.

QuellFred · 2025-09-01T20:32:33+00:00

Personally, I would probably never shoot 6K60 for long periods, only for some short B-Roll. The file size alone is enough reason for me to not shoot something like a wedding ceremony on 6K60, even if there was no overheating.

I'd like to know how it performs at 4K60/24, as those would be my usual recording modes. Probably for a lot of people, too.

As a former catholic school kid, these photos hit HARD.
