I haven't been around lately and I was wondering if we ever reached a conclusion on the best video settings for the X5? A quick search didn't provide much of a consensus. Anyone know what are the best practices are now? Is D-log still crap? Thanks for your help!

Thinking of getting certified and would love to know what prep courses you guys recommend. Thanks!

Wondering how many of you actually shoot in D-Log. I find it unusable do to artifacts. Anyone else having this issue? If you don't shoot in D-Log then what settings do you use? Thanks,

Having the same issue. I'm glad DJI acknowledges it. Would like an update asap though.

Where has it been "well documented"? I haven't read of people having issues? Is there another forum where more people share info?

So I've noticed an issue with D-LOG footage since the last update. I tried to do a scientific test as possible testing D-LOG, CINELIKE, and NONE. Using the same settings across the board I noticed what looks like compression problems with D-LOG. All the other modes seem fine. When shooting in...

That might be what I'm experiencing because this some of these shots look like garbage and I can't figure out why. I ran some test this afternoon and it looks like frame rate and frame size don't play that large a role. Some of the shots I got would look good and others would look horrible...

D-LOG for both and they were exposed properly. I'm gonna shoot another test today at 24fps and 30fps and see if there's a difference. I'll report back.

I ask because I filmed a scene yesterday at 4k 30fps and the trees look horrible. Complete fuzzy messes. It looks super low bitrate. Focus has been calibrated. Everything is in order. But it still looks like garbage. I checked a similar shot I filmed when I first got the Inspire Pro. It's...

When shooting with the X5, does the bitrate change with the frame rate? If it stays constant wouldn't it be wiser to shoot in 24p rather than 30p? More data per frame right?

I have to agree. I've been pretty underwhelmed by the X5 camera. Way soft in my opinion and still flickers in low light(sunset). The newest firmware seems to still have bad flicker issues.
