So running three Osmo Action 4s, and a mavic 3 classic.

I have noticed 4k 60fps the file size for the OA4s is enormous compared to what I would shoot with my drone.

Any reccomendations on which format to use to match them up more please? I have some 4k files from the osmo at 30gb

BTW yes I know dropping to 30 fps etc but I want to shoot 60fps

From what i gather is that due to the better quality (10bit), the max file size has now gone from about 4gb to 16gb. You wont be able to match them.

or just wait for the mavic 4....

That could be a long wait though.  Look how long the wait was between Mavic 2 and Mavic 3.

Hopefully, you are right about sooner than later.

yea fingers crossed

OA4 have also higher bitrate

AR Imagery Posted at 2-19 07:41
yea fingers crossed

Will be interesting what functions and capabilities DJI can come up with for the Mavic 4.  I'm sure their development teams are working hard to come up with innovative ideas.

never thought of that now...

Wow, that is quite the difference.
I wonder if it makes a difference in editing options too.

Nice to have that extra information.

yea tho 10 bit raw is interesting

I bet it will take some time to render.

rendered a 27 min video in 11 mins on me laptop took 3 hours to upload 26gb

Video files are not RAW tho. Its basic h265 4:2:0 if I am not mistaken.

If you mean raw as its not edited, then ok.
But its not a RAW file, RAW means linear sensor data, which this is not. This is data compressed to H265 with Dlogm gama curve, its lossy compresion as you dont have all the sensor data availible in posproduction.

I'm sometimes leaning towards getting an MBP for video and music productions, but they are quite expensive.

So far I don't like it enough to want to live with the extra data.
For Youtube I don't see any bonus for my type of content so I prefer the fast editing in FHD and smaller filesize.
