Dear DJI people and colegue flyers,
After flying Inspire 1 for almost a year, I preordered Inspire 1 Pro... Inspire 1 was not cheap at first, but delivered, it was and still is one of most efficent semi-pro multicopters, usable for corporate video, tv productions and many other tasks... so I believed in DJI vision and DJI announcements... But after receiving X5 on In1 Pro few months ago, there ware nothing but the major camera problems... Just to name the few:
- stutering gimbal yaw in follow mode
- unreliable and undocumented lens calibration
- custom white balance does not work in any usable way
- D-Log mode was not so good but after firmware upade got extremely mushy. and unusable (I can not find any reliable info why and how sharpening was lowered, or why this profile did not work ar least as former X3 Log profile)
- there is no any documentation on D-Log and D-Cinelike, no any official LUT for major color grading apps
and so on...
At this moment 60 Mbit bitrate is least of my concerns, as X5 simply does not deliver in professional an reliable way what was announced and listed in software... Moreover, there is no reliable and systematic info on currently confirmed bugs and workarounds, so everyone is in constandt dilemma and research... As example: after so many tests of D-Log and its mushines and softness, I just stummbled upon one post in this forum, burried deep in web of uncompetent coments, that DJI confirmed current implementation of D-Log faulty, and that Color style: None produces sharp videos... That was major revelation to me, and solved my dilemma and saved me from further frustration in futile trials and errors to figure out what am I doing wrong - as only wrong was my trying to make obviously impossible...
As someone who bought X5 with idea of upgrading to X5R later on, I realy, realy hope that you will finish what you have started and sort everything out in next few months. May I have your oppinion will X5 get in full working order by release of X5R?
Next to question I have one suggestion:
Please organize list of known bugs as sticky topic in each forum section, with links to appropriate threads if there are workarounds or explanations... When users have clear info and can see that DJI is dedicated, then all of us will support and have patience... Otherwise we could think that we invested in a wrong tools.
PS I have owned plenty of tools in same low-budget-pro market segment such as Panasonic GH4, Sony A7s, DJI Ronin M, DJI Inspire 1as well as some top-pro tools as Sony FS7, Apple Mac Pro etc, and with NONE of them I experienced so many dilemmas and trials and errors as with X5... Please support us in solving dillemmas so we could support you in developing new products...
Best regards and keep the good work...
