See threads below, some of my own and some from other forum members. There has been absolute silence from DJI regarding the cameras H264 compression settings for video. I have now been testing the camera for several months and I have to say It is truly dreadful. From my 10+ years in postproduction, color grading and vfx work I have put lots of effort into working with the footage from the I1, trying to make it look somewhat usable. Its not working, and yes, I am comparing it to its closest competition in quality, the HERO4. I’m not making any comparisons to the BMCC/RED/ALEXA or other “highend” cameras. But for what it is designed for its not working, Im sorry to say.
This will be my last post regarding this.
We all know what needs to be done, the discussions below says it all. This is not a debate about If its a professional product for aerial photography or not, this is about delivering on a promise and making the most of the limits set in the hardware. I can’t help to feel so small against this huge company, called DJI. Just ignoring the fact that they just released a product that cant do what is was supposed to do?
I bought the I1 with the hope that I would be able to film corporate videos and might even stretch into some commercial work. Well, I cant. Right now its just one of my most expensive toys.
I have two questions for DJI
· Have you recognized the compression problems in the video produced by the Inspire1? · If that’s the case, will you fix the H264 video settings in the Inspire1?
The problems are discussed in various places in the threadsbelow. I guess no one at this point have missed this topic.
