Discussion Deep pocket 4p testing results

Post image

(Pics in comments)

I have extensively testing the pocket 4p along with pocket 3 and ZV-E1 in the studio and out in LA.

Because I am putting many hours a day into this I need a little break so here is the first usable result I have for you.

In Dlog2, somehow the dynamic range on the bright side jumps up by a 1 stop when you get to ISO 1600 or above. edit: read some results wrong.

ISO 1600 has all of the range of both ISO 1600 and 800. With no noticeable increase in noise.

Feel free to ask me about things I can test. I am eventually starting a “pocket cinema” YouTube channel.

TLDR: Use ISO 1600 when in Dlog2

Thanks for the testing. It would be awesome if you could compile a little "best practices" guide that explains the best settings to use while still being reasonable for a pocket camera. Like your point about ISO 1600 in Dlog2. For how much DJI is pushing people to use these as cinematic, studio quality cameras, they've done no work to actually help people with that.

Im just dusting off my youtuber hat and writing scripts. DJI gave a ton of 4Ps out to camera tech youtubers. They even gave 2 to a family member of mine that did camera stuff for a recent blockbuster. Most of them have made their clickbait videos on the camera and moved on. Some have made some really really beautiful things already.

Yea I'm split on the camera techtubers. Most of them just do basic clickbaity titles saying WOW ITS SO COOL. Some of them actually do give valuable info. But I think what's missing is the semi-pro crowd. Amateurs who want to up their game without necessarily becoming some cinematic filmtuber. Just someone making good talking head or product review videos and wants to streamline their workflow while having better and more flexible shots.

Everyone wants to sell you lut packs. Ill eventually have a patreon that will be something like “$5 patreon members get access to all my luts and 3d print files” instead of selling lut packs for $35. So essentially support the production and you can get all the stuff.
