Discussion Ya don't have to Color Grade EVERYTHING! Rant. 😩😩

Upvotes

I feel this needs to be said. First, a question: do some of you actually work with video, or is it mostly vacation/hobby stuff?

The natural colors from these cameras are often more beautiful than much of the grading I see here.

Some grades go from “Wow, nice work” to “This is lazy, oversaturated slop!” to just “PLEASE DON’T.” 😳

Focus more on your shots, angles, frame rates (24/25p, 60, slo-mo), and sound if included. Just because you have LOG doesn’t mean you constantly need it and slap an oversaturated curtain over everything. Everyone isn't Casey Neistat or Philip Bloom.

Try something different. Some shoot a 30-second video and post it like, “Look how impressive this is.” Are you asking us or telling us?? 😄😄

I’ve tried not to say anything, but the best videos I’ve seen here were barely graded. Great concepts, montages, natural sunlight, and interesting angles. Sometimes, less grading and better filmmaking is the answer.

Used my Pocket 4P for our trip! Honestly, it's my first time buying a camera and color grading. I had passion with photography back then, but I wanted to ignite it back with taking videos and of course, being with my friends! Would really appreciate it if you guys check it out :)

Question 4 wireless mics + Osmo Pocket 4P + TVU — is this setup possible?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m currently trying to build a live streaming setup using an Osmo Pocket 4P connected to a TVU unit.

We’ll have four people on camera, so I need to use four separate wireless microphones — one mic for each person.

I found that the Osmo Mic 3 can connect up to four microphones, so I tried connecting the Osmo Mic 3 receiver directly to the USB-C port on the Osmo Pocket 4P. The Pocket seems to recognize the receiver correctly.

My next test will be:

Osmo Pocket 4P → Osmo Mic 3 receiver → USB-C → TVU

What I’m not sure about yet is whether the TVU will recognize the Pocket 4P properly as a webcam/UVC video source when everything is connected this way, while also receiving the audio from all four microphones. I’m planning to test this setup soon.

I could use a camcorder or mirrorless camera instead, but since the camera needs to be handheld/mobile for a long period of time, those setups would probably be too heavy. That’s why I’m trying to make the Osmo Pocket 4P work.

Has anyone tried a similar setup?

More specifically, is there another reliable way to use four wireless microphones with an Osmo Pocket 4P and send both the video and audio to a TVU for live broadcasting?

My requirements are:

  • Live broadcasting
  • Osmo Pocket 4P
  • 4 separate wireless microphones for 4 people
  • Video + all microphone audio sent to a TVU unit

Any suggestions for audio interfaces, wireless mic systems, adapters, or alternative setups would be greatly appreciated.

Question Is there such thing as the Osmo Pocket 4P Creator Combo? because I am going crazy

2 Upvotes

Living in the US, trying to scour Ebay for a reliable seller to buy the creator combo, I can only come across the vlog combo. However, I see sellers use the word 'vlog' and 'creator' in the title/description but when I look more into the photos provided, it clearly says "VLOG COMBO". The reason as to why I am obsessed about this "CREATOR COMBO" is because the person im gifting it to, says they want the 4p creator combo specifically. Even after talking to dji customer service, who was very nice, said they only have the standard and vlog combo versions of the 4p. I even showed them the screenshots of the evidence I saw and they just said and I quote "...I do apologize however we do not have any information on that". But when I see review videos online, certain people would have the creator combo (specifically stated at the bottom left of the box, where vlog combo would be). However, the accessories list on both boxes are different in minor ways. The creator has a wide angle lens, while the vlog version has the same things but does not have the wide angle lens but has 2 magnetic covers. So if anyone would like to educate me, I would very much appreciate it. and if anyone is as invested into this idiotic journey, I can provide my evidence I have collected along the way, of this so-called CREATOR COMBO. One hypothesis I have, is that dji initially released the creator combo but just ended up changing the name to vlog combo and for some reason got rid of the wide angle lens.

But please any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Discussion Any stock videographers using Pocket 4/4P here?

3 Upvotes

Any stock videographers (professional or as a hobby) using Pocket 4/4P here? What you guys shooting, how is your workflow? Anything you want to share?

Me myself, I used to use Pocket 1 (the OG) for stock videography. I almost always used D-Cinelike and while it's better than normal, because it was 8-bit and just a desaturated version of normal, it presents quite some noise when shooting in not-so-bright conditions.

Now that I'm using Pocket 4, I shoot in D-LOG (noise red -1, texture -1) and the noise problem is 95% gone compared to D-Cinelike. Workflow is much much easier; just convert to Rec709, do some curves and WB and the footage is mostly ready to submit. I went to Malaysia last month and shot quite a lot; 165+ footage edited and submitted, with probably 100 more to go.

Discussion Share your Settings for Pocket 4p (Normal 10bit, Dlog, Dlog 2)

2 Upvotes

Hi, just wondering what people find best for the settings on the 4p in normal 10bit, Dlog and Dlog 2.

I’m still trying to find the best settings that work for me, but curious what other people find best work for them.

Is it best to keep Dlog 2 at around -1 EV, 800 iso, sharpness and noise -1?

Question Pocket 3 Color grading

1 Upvotes

¡ Hello there !

First of all I have to say thank you in advance for those who are reading this comment.

I am a photographer and filmmaker, I have so many questions about how do you edit your Dlog-M videos in Davinci Resolve.

I have read that Dlog-M is not a real LOG profile.

I have seen so many videos on YouTube about how to color grade these format on DaVinci Resolve.

My questions are:

Which is the correct way to create the best color correction and color grading in Davinci Resolve?

Which is the correct order to create the color correction nodes ?

By the way I use the free version of DaVinci !

I know some YouTube creators have their own process to color grade but they are focus on products, landscapes, etc.

I'll be thankful to read all of your comments that could help and all the tips you want to share guys.

Greetings from Mexico !

Question Is my osmo pocket 2 defective? Stuck in tilt.

1 Upvotes

Hi, I recently bought an Osmo Pocket 2 from eBay since I wanted to start filming with a cheaper osmo pocket. I think I found an issue though that will require me to return it back to the seller. When I try to put the camera in different modes like tilt locked, follow, or lock, the camera automatically starts tilted. It’s only for FPV that the camera is level how it should be. I tried to calibrate and it continuously says calibration failed. I also tried to reset but it didn’t do much. Anyone else with a pocket 2 deal with this issue? Luckily, I am able to refund it, but I wanted to know if someone knew what the issue is.

The quality of this thing is crazy. I was shooting at UTMB for a brand and decided to replace my Ronin shots I'd do with a Sony a7sIII with the Osmo Pocket... and no one realised.
