Yes, the raw file is only like 1010101010101001010111001 etc., the camera manufacturer can determine quite a bit about how software renders the final image. Cropping and interpolation seems to be relatively easy for manufacturers to apply. In fact, I think even standard raw files are subject to...

DJI Phantom 4 Pro uses the same kind of digital manipulation in their DNG files but have been much more devious in how it's done. The DNG files when opened in Lightroom look great and are reported as 20MP, however if you open the DNG in RAWTherapee, which does not read the embedded profile, you...

Did the original Typhoon 4K ever get a camera upgrade? Wouldn't hold out much hope for anything in the next year or two by which time the H and the P4 will almost be antiques!

Yep, someone up there is listening!

You're right, what we really need is a forum that wants the emperor to be wearing clothes and to discuss how fine those clothes are. Beware anyone who tells you he's naked, they're a traitor, or a simpleton with good eyesight.

Both the Phantom 4 and the Typhoon H use variable bit rates. The P4 limits the data output to 60Mb/s in all modes, meaning that it will capture as much detail as possible before hitting this ceiling in all picture modes, including DLog. On the other hand, the H will only reach the 50Mb/s data...

It will need the power of a GPU for what it seems to be doing, looks something like photogrammetry on the fly using infrared spectrum, that needs serious horsepower.

I read that the brain power of the RealSense module is provided by an Intel Atom processor which sits in this rear module, so this would need active cooling.

New backpack looks quite neat and less conspicuous. Can you tell us if the ST16 has a slot for a 3G/4G SIM card please?

Blender is one of the hardest programs I've ever had to try and figure out. Never really considered it for video editing, for animation and creating 3D objects it is great if you can get your head around the 5 billion keyboard shortcuts! Have a look at Magix Movie Edit Pro, I've recommended it...

The thing about that is the monitor will be equally bad no matter what the source footage, so even with an average monitor you will be able to see a difference between good and bad cameras. If you have a well known brand phone or tablet from the last 2-3 years you will actually have a very good...

This isn't better than the H though, the 1080 60p video looked about as good as the webcam on my laptop, all mushy and not very sharp. Almost looked like computer game graphics when it was in motion. Not very impressive. (I watched the one with Mozart's Eine Kliene Nachtmusik soundtrack)

You think the Typhoon H 2 will be better if people just ignore the issues instead of making a bit of noise about it? The H camera doesn't seem to be an improvement over the Q500 4K camera and in a lot of cases seems to be worse, if they listen to these complaints and release a superior camera...

Is the soft backpack just an empty zipper bag that you squeeze the foam insert from the box into?

They don't give a continuous video feed from the H camera to see how the actual footage looks. It's removed in lots of places. It looks like the H makes very sudden, jerky changes to the flight and comes to a halt very often, rather than the smooth, intelligent flight path in the official...
