Hi, I assume it beginng user error but I am having trouble getting good quality video. Specifically I set up the camera as recommende and it seems to very overexposed and I have to overcompensate just to see the screen. I have the Mavic Pro Platinum and use the following settings:
3840X2160 UHD
24 fps
ISO 100-400
WB: Either sunny or cloudy
MOV/NTSC

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Adjust your shutterspeed if necessary, according to the light conditions. That should help with the overexposure. For more light to come in, lower your shutterspeed (brighter), and for less light rise it (darker).

Best of all lucks.

It might help to turn on the Histogram -- you want to try and center the readings for proper exposure.

For best video, shutter speed should be twice the frame rate. In this case, 1/50 second. You will likely need neutral density filters to achieve this, usually in sunlight, a Neutral Density 16 works.

Thanks, I have ND filters and they help but didn't solve the issue.

don't feel bad crowbar, I've been flying for 3 years now and must confess that I am not the best photographer, I still have quite a lot to learn, but the one good advice that I seen so far was to use histogram from ex Machina, you will find a big difference in your videos.
