Hi.
Unfortunately you can't record ProRes in 50/60P, only 25/30P. I've got no idea why this is the case but it is and I believe it's the same for the X5S/X7.
You can record 50/60P in CDNG and the quality is really good. The file sizes are massive and it takes ages to convert into a usable codec but in my opinion it's worth it. The quality is as good as your going to get for a aerial camera and easily stands up to my Sony FS5 A7S2..
I've actually stopped recording in ProRes because I'm on an old firmware that has the DLOG ISO locked at 500 which I find too noisy, much more so than CDNG which I shoot in standard with no issues apart from rendering. I think the DLOG has been improved with later firmware's but I'm trying to stick with the one I've got.
Maybe someone could give some feedback on how usable DLOG is currently?
One thing to bare in mind is that when shooting 50P the camera crops into the sensor quite a bit. I'm not sure of the exact ratio but it's very close to a double crop so you'll need a super wide lens. There are a couple you can use for the X5S - 8mm/9mm - but your stuck when shooting with the X7 as the widest DJI lens is 16mm.
Cheers,
Rowan
