Your distortion fix only works with Adobe and FCPX, do you know of a way to fix the distortion in Resolve? Thanks again for all you do!

Hey, HLG with SkyGrades Natural LUTs designed for HLG would look identical to the current Dlog-M version of the LUTs used on Dlog-M footage, so there's not a point to doing it. HLG isn't superior to Dlog-M, it's just a different type of recording designed for straight to HDR playback. See Alister Chapman, who knows much more than I do, explain it here : ua-cam.com/video/dvTYhWkBXaU/v-deo.html
1. This tutorial was edited, sound designed, and presented in an extremely top notch way. I’m personally growing tired of Vlog-torials as they really start to become a waste of time for the viewer. 2. I think you’ve really managed to inch out every last bit of usability from this camera. It’s not perfect but its definitely the best portable option for sure. 3 .How does the footage take to adding extra sharpening in post? The footage straight off of the camera is a bit soft for my taste and I was curious if adding any extra post sharpening could bring it back to P4P type level sharpness? Heck, if that’s possible without it falling apart then we could have a definitive winner between the 2 drones footage, and it could be (with added TLC) the M2P
Fly Guy Fly Guy 1. Thanks for noticing. It takes a long tome to make a tutorial this concise, but it respects everyone else’s time. 2. Exactly. The p4pro is better but it’s not an option for a lot of people, including me. The mp2 is the best portable drone right now, even with its downsides. 3.the footage will take to post sharpening pretty well because of the low noise in the sensor. The best sharpening program in the world is Neat Video because you feed it the noise profile, and it won’t sharpen the noise at all. I’ll add a sharpening preset to the noise profile pack. Looks great. Thanks for the comments!
Not only is this so professional but notice how he doesn't say "Like" my video "Subscribe to my channel" That is getting really old from all the other vloggers out there. Enough of it already. I subscribe to Film Poets because of the excellence of this channel, not because I'm told.
I just received my M2P yesterday. I’m on firmware v1.00.00.00 and I’m not seeing the box in the upper right hand corner for adding contrast during filming in DLOG, did they remove that feature?
This has to be one of, if not THE clearest, to the point, no-nonsense videos on how to set up a drone and use it to its max ability, that I've ever seen, and I've been flying drones for years. Ive seen all the vlogs dragged out for ages, failing to get to the point, but this one, coming from someone who is obviously a professional in the filming business and wasting no-ones time at all, thank you. I even bought all of your effects packages because I felt it was worth it. Hopefully I'll be able to maximise the ability of my new mp2 when it arrives this week. (been using all of dii's previous products but I have some plans for pushing my hobby further now.) Ive subscribed and once again, many thanks.
Not sure you realize the quality of what you created here, and the value of the info you present. Short, crisp and clear, no bullshitting, no clikbait, absolutely amazing. I'd let all the commercials run to the end, so you get your money, 'cauze boy....you deserve it! Well done!
You're truly next level when it comes to getting the most out of drone footage and teaching everyone how to do it. So stoked on every video you put out.
Followed your tutorial on the best settings for the Mavic Pro a while back and now that I've finally upgraded I knew exactly where to look for the best settings on the Mavic 2 Pro! I think I speak for the entire community when I say that I genuinely appreciate the amount of time and attention to detail that goes into your videos. I love that you answer questions in a similar fashion to me. I love that you inform us and then encourage us to make our own decisions based on the creative direction that we're wanting to take rather than just saying "Put your settings on this and go shoot." You guys are the best!
I'm (ld) learning disabled ..and yr tone of voice is what really got me to sit still and listen to some hard to understand stuff. Dude your HD, thanks, Andrew
This video just tipped me towards buying the mavic 2 pro, since I know now there is a solution for low sharpness and, more importantly, for the distortion. I will have to buy your LUTs, if only to show my support. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this.
Dude who are you? You are amazing. Soft spoken, great info. I confess I had to watch it several times as you pack so much info into every second. Thanks
I don't own a Mavic Pro 2 yet but I subbed just for when I eventually get one. I am so impressed with the quality and delivery of your videos. No messing around, straight to the point, very useful information, unbiased. Brilliant, thank you!
I know where to get my best settings now when and if I switch up to the Mavic 2 Pro. My old Mavic still does amazing work with your original settings video and LUT! Thanks again!
"It takes a long time to make a tutorial this concise, but it respects everyone else's time." Sometimes I'll be watching a video and am amazed at how off-topic the vlogger becomes. GET TO THE POINT(S) AND BE DONE WITH IT! I appreciate humor and clever dialogue, but some meander as though we've nothing better to do than watch them only. This is my first time viewing a Film Poets video, but not my last. Way to pack lots of vital info into a 7:00 video. I'm subscribed!
ha! To be honest, the videos are short because of my wife Pacey, she has a short attention span and cuts everything that's not essential. I give her the credit. Glad you liked it!
I completely agree with Larry A. Very high quality videos from the Film Poets in every respect! Thank you for all the testing, experimenting and expertise on the subject that you share with us - I highly appreciate it!.
@@thefilmpoets Her instincts are spot on. I love the information I can get from UA-cam videos, but I'm so over this trend of people padding out their videos with non-essential, fluff, or just overly redundant material. This is fantastic.
Keep in mind that people drag out videos to10min+ so they can put in 2+ ads and make more money. Easy to explain. And they are scatter brained and want to churn out content 2x a week, so they lack real information. Matt waits until he has everything he needs and puts out 1 video to rule them all.
I'm considering buying a Mavic 2 Pro and I want to thank you for a direct, helpful and to the point video. Far better than most of the other's I've watched in researching this drone where so many other presenters resort to all sorts of corny gimmicks and poor attempts at comedy. Thanks again.
I have been waiting for this video since my M2P arrived 3 weeks ago. You earned my trust with the Mavic Air settings and profiles. Picking up the new ones as I type this. Much appreciated.
Wow! I bet it's the best video about the best drone settings that I have ever seen. No joke. Subbed. And, I think, it's the second video about "cinematic" settings, where was said nothing about 24 fps. Because "cinematic" for digital media is about high picture and sound quality and not about some sort of cinema equipment standards. Also 24/25 fps are mathematically incompatible with drone footage + UA-cam, but 30 are.
Hey, watched this video to try and figure out the 24 vs 30 thing. Been shooting in 24, but it seems tough to get a good crisp image. I assume you are shooting in 30? Do you think mixing other footage on a 24 fps timeline would make sense with 30fps drone footage? - a little perplexed
just wanted to reitierate what others have said about your videos. top notch stuff, helpful tips, and edited and presented in a way that's both interesting and efficient. thanks!
@@thefilmpoets great! any chance you could share whether you prefer the image? I get MP2 in the mail this week after shooting with a friends zoom this past month, hoping to see a step up but a lot of people on youtube seem to be saying they don't notice much...
I like the way you presented your information, very concise and your tone of voice is perfect. Too many vloggers out there speak so excitedly and full of hype as though they just love to hear their own voice. Kudos!!! Thanks
This is a very helpful video. I don't shoot much video at all, and the Mavic 2 Pro is my first drone. Your settings have allowed me to get the best out of it. Cheers! EDIT: the quality of this tutorial is superb!
What are your thoughts on DJI scamming their customers using false advertising and touting features and sensor sizes that they purposefully gimp? Cliff Totten’s work exposes line skipping, non-utilized image sensor areas and basically half res just upscaled. It’s horrible and DJI needs to address it head on. If the hacking community figures out a way to adjust this and turn back on full resolution it will confirm they gimped it on purpose to artificially differentiate from their phantom line.
Burnouts And Bourbon I’m no stranger to calling out DJI. I did just that with the original Mavic Pro’s heavy in-camera noise reduction. But I don’t think DJI is scamming anyone, there are a few reasons: 1. It’s not lineskipping, but pixel binning. Line skipping would have insane moire and aliasing. The mp2 has very little. I’d prefer a full readout though. 2. DJI likely has separate departments for Mavic and Phantom. Meaning the Mavic guys would want to make the best Mavic possible, they wouldn’t care about the Phantom. And dji wouldn’t either because they are similar prices. It’s more likely that a foldable drone, which was unheard of just a few years ago, overheats with 10bit and full sensor readout. I could be wrong, but that’s more likely than assuming that dji thinks no-one will notice pixel binning. I have to say that I’m ok with the slightly softer image, my main problem with drones has been the oversharpened- digital look and the crazy noise, not detail. The m2p solves those problems while creating a much smaller issue. So yes I would have loved an exact match to the phantom 4, but my clients and weddings aren’t going to notice.
Langston Ball I have no idea, I’ll be happy with it for the next year, but I can understand how you feel. The Mavic Air is quite a nice camera for the price and image.
@@thefilmpoets. Fully agree with your vision. I have been filming the street from my window to find out the sharpest aperture. I realized that in 4k HQ I can read the same car license plates, and I can see the bricks of the buildings at the same distance on the TV screen as in direct vision. The perspective and field of view is not too different neither. In other words, the only way to notice a higher resolution is looking at small portions of the screen. At one meter from the screen I am not able to perceive a higher level of detail. Resolution and sharpness are overrated in my opinion. A clean and natural image is more important in my opinion
I saw the response from dji to cliff and they apparently aren’t pixel binning or line skipping. They do have to make a few sacrifices due to the small size, but what they are doing looks much better than binning and line skipping. Also dronexfactor brought up a good point that the m2 and p4p have different focal lengths and he thinks cliff placed the drones at different lengths from the testing boards to get the same FOV for both drones which wud make the test less accurate. And pixel peeping aside just get the thing up in the air and take some shots and you will see the quality is truly amazing. Don’t get me wrong tho dji needs to be heavily critiqued and called out on any flaw because any company that owns the market is a scary thing. What I’m most upset about is how the rear gimbal motors get scratched through normal use due to chafing on the plastic hooks on the gimbal bracket:( not very good quality control and testing standards. Also the barrel distortion should have been addressed for a so called “hasselblad” camera lol.
I've just recently sold my Mavic pro, in order to purchase a Mavic 2 pro.I've been watching other tutorials online but nothing comes close to what you have created. IT was succinct and highly detailed. You've earned another subscriber! Keep posting great content. :)
With the Mavic Pro, and now the Mavic Pro 2 I find your videos the best for explaining and testing how to get the most of your drone. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. Getting the Pro 2 soon and I'll pop by to get a LUT pack. Thanks again. :)
Oh...I am lucky to find your channel, its been hours I sitting and just watching! Thank you a lot for valueble content and also for you color taste. Wish you all the best from Russia!
This is by far the best info out there on M2P image quality and settings. You've done very deep testing on image quality and present it very clear. This will help a lot. Thanks.
Mine arrives on Monday and I will be puttin gin these setting before I leave the ground. Looking forward to applying your LUT as well. Thank you so much for this video. Excellent job.
Man what a video. Its so good...... You really have a very good technical knowledge and a. Lot of experience!!.. . The video is a no nonsense video like other people who makes vlog style that wastes a lot of time.. the editing of the review is so dammmn good. The animation sound desing!! Everything is so good! I became a fan of your videos!!! UA-cam needs to push your content more than other useless creators!!!
Been waiting for this video! Ever since you figured out the noise reduction vs. sharpness issue in the original mavic pro, I have more faith in your setting recommendations than most
On the Mavic Pro I rather went for 0 sharpening because of the codec literally freaking out when even more oversharpening (which sharpened noise as well) was added. On the P4P I set sharpening to -2 which gave me a visually almost perfect picture with low sharpening artifacts using the H264 codec. The H265 codec blurred low contrast texture (same issue on the new Fuji X-T3)...
Love your work. It's been almost two years and I was curious if you've learned more about the Mavic 2 Pro and the best settings control wise. I know you can go into advance controller options and adjust the sensitivity of certain controls and curious if you ever dove into that deep of control. Thanks again for the work you do!
I am a complete novice, when it comes to aerial photography/cinematography. But, somehow, over the years, I've managed to come to own a P3P, P4P+ and now a M2P. I've shot some footage, with the first two, and not really paid too much attention to any of the camera settings, other than exposure of course. Now, with this drone, I'm attempting to learn a little about the craft before I ever send the quad up for it's maiden flight. This video is extremely helpful to me, giving me a baseline to work with. Thanks!
Matt has the greatest service I have ever dealt with. I had some issues because of my lack of knowledge, and he walked me through everything. I recommend his products and services. Thank you Matt for all your help!
Beautiful presentation! I like the way how professionally you do it unlike some of the cheapskates that are out there presenting. I am new to digital video but I will learn to edit and use your recommendations. Thank you for your time and effort.
Great video - you really do put out the best content and love how straight to the point you are, as well as how well produced the vidoes are. Thank you!
Been waiting for this vlog, I trusted your judgement on the original Mavic and purchased your LUTs & De-noise then, and now I'm doing the same again! Good Work Man :)
Wow dude. Really really outstanding information from all the other Mavic 2 content out there. Really appreciate all the settings, and gotta get them luts!
I’ve just started with drones and know nothing about cameras. I’m looking for a very beginners guide to drone photography as I didn’t understand much of what was said. I’m still going to use your suggested settings as a start though. Many thanks

And pixel peeping aside just get the thing up in the air and take some shots and you will see the quality is truly amazing. Don’t get me wrong tho dji needs to be heavily critiqued and called out on any flaw because any company that owns the market is a scary thing. What I’m most upset about is how the rear gimbal motors get scratched through normal use due to chafing on the plastic hooks on the gimbal bracket:( not very good quality control and testing standards. Also the barrel distortion should have been addressed for a so called “hasselblad” camera lol.
I've just recently sold my Mavic pro, in order to purchase a Mavic 2 pro.I've been watching other tutorials online but nothing comes close to what you have created. IT was succinct and highly detailed. You've earned another subscriber! Keep posting great content. :)
With the Mavic Pro, and now the Mavic Pro 2 I find your videos the best for explaining and testing how to get the most of your drone. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. Getting the Pro 2 soon and I'll pop by to get a LUT pack. Thanks again. :)
Undoubtedly the best Mavic 2 Pro video out there. Top-notch production quality and super valuable information. Perfectly done-thanks a ton!
Wow, that first shot was really spectacular, especially with the subtle zoom as the birds appear.
Oh...I am lucky to find your channel, its been hours I sitting and just watching! Thank you a lot for valueble content and also for you color taste. Wish you all the best from Russia!
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!!!
And so fun to watch! Great work Film Poets!
One of the best tutorials on UA-cam. Straight to the point with some great info. This is awesome... And your drone footage is awesome too!
This is by far the best info out there on M2P image quality and settings. You've done very deep testing on image quality and present it very clear. This will help a lot.
Thanks.
Mine arrives on Monday and I will be puttin gin these setting before I leave the ground. Looking forward to applying your LUT as well. Thank you so much for this video. Excellent job.
Again, best Mavic 2 Pro video around. Kudos.
Actually just got mine in the mail today. The timing of this video couldn't be any better. Thanks!
Lvl9chao have fun with it!
This is one the best tutorials I’ve ever seen. You got a new subscriber. Keep up the good work!
excellent video. plugging these into my drone now. thank you for your professional and informative work!
All the info one needs in 7 minutes of top notch video. Thank you @TheFilmPoets
Man what a video. Its so good...... You really have a very good technical knowledge and a. Lot of experience!!..
. The video is a no nonsense video like other people who makes vlog style that wastes a lot of time.. the editing of the review is so dammmn good. The animation sound desing!! Everything is so good! I became a fan of your videos!!! UA-cam needs to push your content more than other useless creators!!!
Been waiting for this video! Ever since you figured out the noise reduction vs. sharpness issue in the original mavic pro, I have more faith in your setting recommendations than most
On the Mavic Pro I rather went for 0 sharpening because of the codec literally freaking out when even more oversharpening (which sharpened noise as well) was added.
On the P4P I set sharpening to -2 which gave me a visually almost perfect picture with low sharpening artifacts using the H264 codec. The H265 codec blurred low contrast texture (same issue on the new Fuji X-T3)...
Just got the Mavic 2 pro and your SkyGrades Collection , stoked to get some awesome footage . cheers!
that's a pretty dreamy shot of the tent at night! I bought your luts for d-log and they are best by far I've used, thanks
Love your work. It's been almost two years and I was curious if you've learned more about the Mavic 2 Pro and the best settings control wise. I know you can go into advance controller options and adjust the sensitivity of certain controls and curious if you ever dove into that deep of control. Thanks again for the work you do!
Excellent presentation; methodical, very detailed explanation and description of each item and well done video. Thanks so much.
You are a very talented artist and your videos are brilliant. I want to thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
As others have said, an excellent tutorial that tells me just what I want to know. Thank you.
Absolutely love your video, LUTs, analysis, everything. Thank you for all.
That was an awesome tutorial. Sat with my Mavic and went through. Loved it. Cannot wait to try out now.
Great to hear. Have fun with that M2p!
this is a hell of a good tutorial to get the best picture of your DJI Mavic 2 pro ! what a great work! totally pro stuff.
I am a complete novice, when it comes to aerial photography/cinematography. But, somehow, over the years, I've managed to come to own a P3P, P4P+ and now a M2P. I've shot some footage, with the first two, and not really paid too much attention to any of the camera settings, other than exposure of course. Now, with this drone, I'm attempting to learn a little about the craft before I ever send the quad up for it's maiden flight. This video is extremely helpful to me, giving me a baseline to work with. Thanks!
most professional tut iv seen, thought this was dji company
Thanks Matt! I just got my M2P and this was super helpful.
Matt has the greatest service I have ever dealt with. I had some issues because of my lack of knowledge, and he walked me through everything. I recommend his products and services. Thank you Matt for all your help!
2020 and I´m here, man, this tutorial is a piece of art, thank u a lot, very very good job from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
Beautiful presentation! I like the way how professionally you do it unlike some of the cheapskates that are out there presenting. I am new to digital video but I will learn to edit and use your recommendations.
Thank you for your time and effort.
You just got a new subscriber!
Awesome quality and great advice.
Professional, researched, informative, attention to detail! As always. Massive respect! Thanks
So Helpful again. From my experience of Mavic 1, I've been waiting your tutorial and LUTs. I've just downloaded all your LUTs. Many thanks
Pretty scenery with mountains and good introduction
Great video - you really do put out the best content and love how straight to the point you are, as well as how well produced the vidoes are. Thank you!

Been waiting for this vlog, I trusted your judgement on the original Mavic and purchased your LUTs & De-noise then, and now I'm doing the same again! Good Work Man :)

Wow dude. Really really outstanding information from all the other Mavic 2 content out there. Really appreciate all the settings, and gotta get them luts!
best video of the mavic 2 across all youtube
A quarter million views says it all. Great stuff.
I’ve just started with drones and know nothing about cameras. I’m looking for a very beginners guide to drone photography as I didn’t understand much of what was said. I’m still going to use your suggested settings as a start though. Many thanks
Good footage, well edited, to the point. I don't have a mavic 2 but I enjoyed this review a lot
Mate such a good video, very nice settings! Definitely gonna try them tomorrow on My Mavic 2 Pro. Cheers from Italy!
Awesome tutorial Matt! I have my heart set on this drone so ty for all the fantastic research. Keep 'em comin!
Thank you for your effort, this really helped us a lot with the Mavic 2 Pro!
Your the GOAT! Such a professional and nice guy
