The learning curve is very steep as far as flying this drone as well as knowing what the best settings are when filming and even more importantly the color grading of Pro Res Raw on the I3.
1. Pro Res 422 is a great option when shooting landscapes and envirnment but it's not good for shooting fast action sports due to the 30 fps limit and horrible rolling shutter

The Rest applies to shooting in Pro Res Raw

2. Never shoot less than the native EI 320 in daylight and if it's kind of dark then keep it at the native EI 1600.  Shooting 100 or 200 EI doesn't give you any advances in sharper image quality like it does on other cameras.
3. If you are shooting on a bright sunny day especially over the ocean, You will need a 5 or 6 stop ND filter or you risk blowing out your footage.  It's amazing Polor Pro only goes up to a 4 stop or 16 ND filter and this is not even enough to keep your pro res raw footage from blowing out your water color
4. If you want the best out of your 8K image, you need to edit in HDR wide cinema gamut as opposed to Rec. 709.  If it's for Instagram, you need to edit in SDR Rec. 709
5. H.264 is the fastest most convienient codec to render your 8k footage with but beware it cannot support support HDR footage.  For this you need a H.265 or Pro Res 422 rendering especially if you want to upload to youtube
6. If you only own two lenses for this drone, it ought to be the 24mm and 50mm, honsetly that's all you'll ever need until they come out with the 75mm
7. If your are filming moving objects or action sports then you will need to shoot in 50 or 60 fps or 120 fps to avoid rolling shutter
8. you should own at least two charging stations and 16 batteries and if you have 2.5 hour shoots then you better have 24 batteries
9. if you are flying up to and object, it's better to set your focus up close before you move in to the target to deal with the lack of continuous autofocus
10.  The inspire 3 is an awesome drone but we do need an upgraded better performing gimbal camera to replace the rushed out x9 camera.  Something that solves the rolling shutter, sensitive to bright light, and lack of continuous autofocus issues.
11. The other thing is there is no support system or active community among I3 owners.  I feel like the engineers have abandoned ship on this product and are busy working on other things.  Not a good feeling when you've spent as much money as a Red V-Raptor X on this drone never to hear anything about it again from DJI or the engineering team

Great to know info.  Thanks for sharing.

2. Why shoot with sensitivity lower than native? You are cutting off your dynamic range. There are exceptions of course, if you want to work out the highlights or shadows better depending on the task. However, most scenes consist of high contrast of shadows and highlights.

6. I use all lenses: 18, 24, 35 and 50. Always needed. Really looking forward to the 75mm.

8. I work 8-9 hours in cinema, advertising and music videos. In cinema and music videos, 3-4 sets of batteries are always enough for me. In advertising it is more difficult, but I have never discharged more than 8 sets.

9. If you are flying close to the subject, it is better to use manual focus with the operator's remote control or use external focus.

10. I'm really looking forward to a camera with a global shutter and the ability to install other lenses. If they release something like this, you can forget about shooting with Red or Alexa forever.

11. Inspire is a fairly niche product. DJI as a company is mostly interested in profit. And most of the profit comes from small, affordable drones. Inspire 3 came out 2 years later than it should have. I don't think we should expect any new solutions for it for another 5 years.

I guess you already understand this but when the mavic 2 pro was out I remember watching YouTube videos where people would encourage you to shoot at 100 or 200 ISO at the widest aperature with an ND filter to get the sharpest image possible.  I made this mistake with the I3 because it's easy to blow out your whites and water colors when you shoot in bright daylight conditions.

As I understand it now, you need a 6 stop ND filter to prevent this from happening but you should still shoot at 320 EI
