Hi.....
Bought a Mavic 3 Cine, mostly for the RC Pro.  Now with the DJI RC, which seems almost idential except for screen brightness and a few buttons, I'm trying to decide if a SSD and Prores are really worth an additional $2042 (when you calso consider DJI Care 2 year).

So.....  I cannot find any info on the specs for Mavic 3.   On the h.264 and h.265 (HEVC) recordings.... are they 8 or 10 bit?  Are they 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 ?

I shot a 24fps and a 60fps on each codec.... here's what I got from decoding it (set at constant bit rate)

All the h.264 stuff shows as 8-bit, but I don't get a bit depth shown in HEVC.

So opinions, please....  $2000 is a lot of money for, essentilally the same system minus ProRes, SSD and it looks like 10-Bit vs. 8 Bit and 4:2:0 vs. 4:2:2

The h.264 and h.265 recordings are 8bit unless you are using Dlog or HLG which shift the bit depth to 10 bit.

I believe HLG and D-Log (which are always 10 bit) would require H.265 (HEVC) codec, at least on prior models they did. Imho H.265 (HEVC) is 4:2:0 chroma subsampling , checked using MediaInfo app. H.264 would be 8 bit , "Normal" color profile only (based on prior models).
