Thank you! Good video. Couple of notes: “joints with teeth” is called a rosette. Also depending on the shot, if part of the vehicle is in the shot you’ll find it may be better to just hard mount the camera to the vehicle without stabilization so the vehicle and the camera move in tandem as opposed to the vehicle looking like it vibrates. For shots of another vehicle, or just the road though this setup is nice. I wish it was two 1/4 20screws holding the camera though.
Thanks for the notes. I do things quite a bit differently now - this was about 4 years ago. I've got a Komodo on a Ronin S2 on a Tilta Car mount now. I should probably do a video on that, lol.
Using the Mac program from DJI you can select footage, try LUTs, and export flavours of ProRes, and also a special DNG format for Premier... DNG is not a playback/edit format.
Nice review, I use Davinci Resolve to color correct the RAW footage from the DJI SSD. It plays back in real-time, and obviously great features for color grading and masking. In Resolve, I'll find the clip ins-and-outs I want, do basic color correction, export to individual DNxHR 10bit clips, then trash the RAW files. I'll do the editing and final color grading in Premiere for a smooth experience. Learning just the basics in Resolve has been a huge help and the free versions have all the features you need. Exporting to the intermediate 10bit DNx files after color correction keeps the necessary color info for a clean final grade in Premiere and saves the trouble of Adobe clunky RAW workflow. My 2cents
Excellent review I planing buy a X5R, I have a osmo X3 and it's really great but I need something more pro, and I want to compare with GH4 and a Black Magic Pocket. I learn too much about image quality, but it's important something to say that you mention, it's important or give a plus the fact of you have a great quality with a smooth stabilization image. For other cameras I need a 3 axel gimbal or handheld stabilization cost extra money, with no full control in a phone, tablet or Crystal monitor. Great job!!!! Thanks!
The footage in this video looks choppy as well. The comparison shot between the SD Baked footage and the ungraded footage shows the ungraded footage as choppy, yet the SD stuff looks smooth.
Thanks for the great video. At 18:57, what is the difference between Baking and Grading. I understand that one video is from SD card low quality and one is RAW. But is baking different process than grading? Or non-raw footage grading is called baking?

could you also tell how it hold up in 2024. compared to komodo, or fx3 or even x7 or x5s
@@shorn77777 Haven’t used one of these in 7 years. Komodo will be better. Have done some vehicle stuff with a Komodo on RS3 which looks awesome.
Yes red will always,

When bringing it in from the card, are you still needing to use DJI's software to convert or with Resolve are you able to skip that step?

Osmo Action. See some of my most recent driving videos.
Which camera did you use to film yourself. Looks nice
Would have been a red. Trying to remember back that far. Either 6K dragon or 8k helium
@@Moviesauce good stuff

Non-raw in camera is a "color baked" format. Meaning you're stuck with that base look. Can only add color on top of it.
Thank you for educating me. Thank you! Great video. You're among very few subscriptions I have :)
Is there a workflow where you can use the footage from the sd card as a proxy and then relink the raw files once all the editing and grading is done
So the X5 adapter works for the X5R too?
I was jumping through the video so I might have missed this but do you just use a standard LUT to color grade? Footage looks great.
+Sammy Kumar Thanks! I don't usually use LUTs, just color from scratch within Adobe Premiere.
Thanks for the useful info! What lens were you using for the car mount stuff?
It's all just the stock 15mm DJI lens that comes with the X5
Sweet! Thanks for getting back to me.
=Same experience with the stuttering CinemaDNG RAW files...
