The newli gained abilities to record video in 10 bit in the dcinelike profile as well as the ability to turn off the very destructive in camera noise reduction result in us getting amazing improvement in the Avata's image quality. This is quite a extreme example as in this video I'm flying in conditions that normally are unsuitable for small cameras attached to fpv drones. Don't get me wrong. Image out of the camera isn't perfect in low light but the fact we can clean it up in post is a big win.
Filght conducted with motion controller.
Video settings: 30 fps, auto exposure with Max iso set to 6400, sharpness and noise reduction -2, dcinelike. Shot with wide fov and eis disabled. Stabilised in gyroflow.
Most shots set to 130% speed with some added motion blur. Denoised and sharpened in DaVinci Resolve Studio.

Nice flying.  

Nice flight Video production was worth the work involved.

Great job of flying and filming.    10 bit does make a huge difference.  

Very cool video!

Nice flying.

Thanks. I wasn't sure Avata was for me but it's been quite a pleasant experience!

Thanks. I know it may sound like a lot of work was involved but it's more or less just adding a particular effect or a tool. Takes same amount of time to do it as it takes to write what you actually did

I must confess to fancying one,   but I think I'll get a cheap fpv first to see how I get on with it.

Labour-saving devices, I see
OK

10 bit yes. What makes even more difference is disabling the over active noise reduction. It was making the image from avata borderline unable even in low ISO's. Now it's very decent!

So glad it's gotten so much better.

Thing is I have tried fpv before and manual mode was not my friend. At least with avata I can fly like in this video letetwly with zero practice. It's dead easy.

Nice captures and flying.

Nice captures and flying.

Thanks for watching and a nice comment

Nice scenery for flying. Just wow - according to the 10-bit, I'll have to do a comparison for myself next year. I am not sure if I can see the difference, although I know that it is obvious that it MUST be better

The 10bit update is a significant one. It will help with something like banding in the sky and just richer and more flexible colour. What is most significant about this update in terms of video quality is in fact the option to turn off the noise reduction. The difference in detail retention is night and day.

My pleasure, mate!

I haven't got sharpness or noise reduction in my menu has it been removed?
