Great video sir!! And I have been binge watching your videos on the OA4. It would be great if you did a video on lighting conditions and settings tips for being in the forest, especially for us mountain bikers.

I believe this is one of the first videos you should have started with after reviewing the DJI Osmo Action 4

Great vid, Just to clarify !
You can't use 10bit images on DaVinci's free version
Which means that you have to get the studio version to use the D-Log M profile of the osmo

Thanks for the tutorial, I just subscribed!

Awesome video! I am also using the DJI action 4 but honestly i havent seen much difference when color grading videos shot at normal mode or d-log. I feel I can achieve the same result with both modes. After various tests I did i have the feeling that with d-log maybe you only get +0.5 stops in dynamic range but not much more. It is certainly nowhere close to the difference you get using the log profile of an aps-c or full frame camera 😢

Amazing video! Nicely explained, just keep going! 👍🏻

1.) Is it a compulsion to add LUT while editing ? Can i edit without LUT?
2.) im using ipad pro for editing please let me know colour science, timeline colour space, output colour space settings for ipad pro.

Good video. I am still thinking about the new Osmo 5. Is it better than GoPro 13 ? BTW, what monitor do you use for video editing and colour grading ?

[Bamaoutdoors]

Thanks for the info! I think I'll just stay in normal mode lol

[Bamaoutdoors]

Any videos on the mic settings? Mine seems to sound deferent and not as good as yours!

Hi and thanks for info. I still don't get the reason for log in small sensors, but ok. Have you used log M in low light? Is it better than normal mode? Any thoughts? Action 5 still has 1/13 so I'll wat for 6. Keep up the good work.👍

Do you know where the action 5 pro lut conversion is ?

[thanos-]

very nice video!can you saw as the same clips with normal colour and d-log that have convert(with posto-production and colour grading)?i know that you have saw us one clip at 1:25...🙂but i want to see more..thanks

such a great video. thank you so much, i just got my DJI action 5 and i needed a video as simple as this. they are pretty similar, and the effort needed to get the dlog m to look better than standard is not worth it for my youtube videos, but that davinci looks really cool to play around with to get myself to that level, thanks for sharing it

Hi Miro.
Is the LUT already available to Davinci Resolve or de we need to download it somewhere? Great comparison video seems the D-LogM profile looks more easy to grade.
