Great help. I have my MP2 Hasseblad on order...where do I find square ND filters that fit, and probably more importantly, since I shoot over water often, where do I find polarizing filters that fit?

You will need to wait a month for Polarizers from PolarPro. The plan to release them by the end of september. The  Original DJI ones semms out of stock

Is this an actual input LUT or a post process preset? Thanks!

It-s a Lut that you import on your editing program. It almost plug and plaz if you shot in DLOG-M and exposed properly-

I've triedit yesterday the contract is very nice but the overall picture is looking a bit dark for me. I assume this lut will work much better if you have a blue sky with crasy sunlight ;)

The LUT will actually work the best in sunset and sunrise..

You are quick, I don't have the Mavic Pro 2 but the Mavic Pro and I use your LUTS a lot in Davinci Resolve and Filmora. They are really good.

Awesome man

Hi Mauro, congrats again for the great info. I have one question for you, there are several rumors that the M2P's image is soft in FoV, have you experienced anything like that?

Check PolarPro for their Polarizer Kits. Also DJI is making a series of filters for the new Mavics.

Great video as always Mauro! The intro was amazing and very professional, your compositions and scene choice were spot on. My Mavic 2 Pro isn't here yet but would be interesting to learn what you've found to be the best export settings for youtube uploads. Thanks, D.
After thought and edit: I guess you could make an export preset for premiere pro and give it away when people sign up for your newsletter.

Mauro, thanks for the LUT!

I haven't had a chance to try it in challenging conditions yet, but I have a couple of questions.  In some of your videos the sky still seems too bright.  With 10 bits in the HQ mode is it possible to be more aggressive and bring the highlights down more?  Also, would it be reasonable to have one LUT, or a family of LUTs for HQ, and a separate family for the FOV mode with just 8 bits?

Hey mate. You are welcome. Developing a couple and separate versions of LUTS deserves a lot more time. On the sky i could have played more but if you ever filmed in sunset conditions..this is pretty much what you get if you want any details in the ground and not on the sky. The line path of the sun is low..making the ground dark. And you have to push up the exposure to conpensate...loosing the sky...

All this is the level, saturation, and contrast correction. I usually do that in postproduction. The problem is that different light conditions and scenery needs different pre setting.
There is no best universal setting for all situations.
But the problem with the videos on the web is in quality downgrading due to compression and the size reduction. The originals looks much better for sure.
For those who have never been engaged in photography before, instructions in this post are very useful for sure and can serves as a starting point of further personal improvements.

Perfect! Thanks!

Although having just moved to Premiere Pro, i was struggling to see why the exported films were so flat. Then  I changed to VLC and the rendering was spot on. I had not realised how dire Quicktime was until yesterday.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the 16-235 or 0-255 range in your player settings.
