Does anyone know if the focal lengths are for s35 or for full frame? I think most super 35 sensors have like a 1.3 multiplier...but just want to make sure

Yes. I do see props in the frame especially if I increase speed rapidly causing the inspire 2 to tilt more. Usually if the gimbal is set to 0 or less and not pointing upwards the props are out of frame

another sample but this time i just decided to record in proRes 4444XQ since i didnt have the other lens to swap out to "enable" RAW :)

I preordered directly from laowa website. No lens correction whatsoever. Just color graded. I think the lens works great if you don't mind the hassle of swapping lenses out to "enable" raw video recording or just shoot in prores.

So I tried the "work around" and was able to record in raw with the 7.5. Stunning lens optically. Here is another sample but this time recorded in raw. Should check it out in 5k!

I literally preordered on the day it was announced

my quick impression

so i just heard back from Laowa--- They have a work around....not ideal but it works. You first start up the drone with the DJI 15mm AF lens (or likely any lens with electrical contacts) Then once a stable video feed is established, you switch lenses with the Laowa while the gimbal is still...

so i just picked up the Laowa 7.5 lightweight version. i did a quick flight and noticed that when i record raw, it creates a folder, but no images are recorded. It records fine to the microSD. Plus, when i attach the lens to the gimbal, i get an error message saying "no lens is connected" likely...

I would use the noise reduction in the last step. It is such a processor intensive step that it bogs down the playback to edit imho.

Thanks. I was worried about that as well hence my early flight

I use resolve for the mac (was only $500) via the App Store. The free one is just as good except you can't export 5.2k only uhd as stated previously and lose some ofx filters and the noise reduction. It's not a huge loss. Here is a sample I uploaded today. Shot in raw but edited for uhd...

i realize that it is always best to get it right before post processing, but so far i have been really impressed with the latitude you get with the raw files that i really haven't found the need quite yet to attach filters yet. see quick link

Why not just get a graduated no filter from polar pro? When shooting in raw you almost don't need one of these filters because you can pull a lot of detail out of the shadows.
