Hi I recently got the mavic pro platinum, upgrading from a P3 standard. The camera on the P3 was great but I am not sure what I am missing on the mavic but it seems to be grainy ( I don't know the correct term to call it)



Here is a clip please tell me how to improve it. (with colour correcting)



Camera settings used:
Normal
Style 0,0,0
Iso 100
2.7k 30fps
120 shutter speed
nd 16 filter

D-Log all the way.  +1,-1,-1 since 2.7k.  If filming at 4k then 0,-1,-1.  What is your White Balance?  You need to manually set it.  I typically keep mine at 6000.  Auto will not look as good.  Also best to try and get shutter speed down to 60 since you are at 30fps.
Best to record in D-Log and post edit it.  You will get the most details and best colors that way.  I have learned this from others here and on youtube.  Another reason best to use D-Log is you can easily apply a LUT and get the colors and detail really looking great.  Typically cannot do that if not using D-Log.

Hi, thanks for the comment I will try +1,-1,-1 and sent WB to 6000 but If i am already using 0,0,0 and it is sharp than why would I go +1. Can you please tell me what softer where I should use of for noise reduction. Thanks.

P.S I am trying to fix the grainy footage more than colour atm

+1 on sharpness significantly reduces the in camera noise reduction giving a much clearer image, especially noticeable with 4K. D-Cinelike will give you a nice picture that doesn’t require much/any grading.

I tried that with +1,0,0 and the image was extremely oversharpened, I am not sure what I am doing wrong
