This isn’t an editing tutorial, it’s a camera settings tutorial but I wasn’t sure where else to post it.
Drones have small sensors compared to DSLRs. As a result, the light  hitting the sensor is less, and therefore the noise levels and image  quality at base iso isn’t as good as a DSLR. There is however a way to  make sure you are getting the best out of the sensor of whatever drone  you fly. This technique is common in photography circles but I haven’t  seen it discussed much in the drone world so I made this video to  explain why you should always make the most of the sensor’s  capabilities.
If you have any questions or require further clarification, let me know in the comments.
Happy flying and have a good weekend.

Its a technique I use a lot in DSLR photography. When it dawned on me that I should be doing it with my drone video too, I tested it out. It works even better with drones because they have small sensors so getting the most light possible to them is vital.

Thanks,   Sounds like something I should try out.

Seems worth trying. Although you are talking about the drones in this video, I assume that this can be applied to other small-sensor cameras as well, such as the Pocket 2?

Yes, it applies to all cameras, but especially those with small sensors.

Thanks, will try it out when I find an appropriate time to go adventuring with my Pocket 2. :-)
