    Cendence Controller Signal Distance / Issues

    That’s very interesting actually and something I hadn’t honestly considered. The only logical thing in my mind was that the new controller was the issue, because the monitor was, well, just a monitor, right? I’ll have to fire it back up soon with the iPad again, when surely enough, I was able to...

    Cendence Controller Signal Distance / Issues

    Unfortunately, I couldn't find this controller anywhere online, and had to buy it "brand new, never used" from someone on Ebay for a little over $1K. The patch antenna came included and was already installed, which I understood was supposed to imrpove transmission rather than make things worse...

    Cendence Controller Signal Distance / Issues

    So, nobody has any experience with these issues? Maybe I’ve got a defective unit…

    Cendence Controller Signal Distance / Issues

    This model was definitely Cendence 1 for the Inspire or Matrice. I believe the renewed Cendence is for the Matrice only.

    Cendence Controller Signal Distance / Issues

    Hey All, Writing today with my latest I2 issues - this time it’s about the Cendence Controller. I’ve been rocking the standard controller up until now, and decided to upgrade to the Cendence for an upcoming job that required client monitoring. I thought the SDI was a great feature, and read...

    Color Grading Inspire 2 X5S ProRes footage

    I appreciate the detailed feedback- thanks. I personally find the ungraded ProRes version to be overly soft (almost looks out of focus in motion, although I know it isn’t), and looks like it was made slightly opaque or has a gray filter over it at 30%. I like slightly muted blacks and a bit...

    Color Grading Inspire 2 X5S ProRes footage

    Thanks for chiming in. It does appear to be on some sort of (overly) vivid setting. I wouldn’t have selected that if I saw the option, though, so I wonder if that option is even there? I will say the trees were incredibly vivid in real life during this time- it was peak leaf-changing aspen...

    Color Grading Inspire 2 X5S ProRes footage

    Thanks for the reply. I do usually shoot in D-Cinelike when I’m shooting ProRes, because I’m coming from years of filming with a pretty dialed in Phantom 4 Pro, which, whenever I shot d-log with it, I had horrible results bringing it back to life. D-cinelike, I found, gave me the truest...

    Is the new Laowa 10mm f/2 compatible with X5S?

    I have not been able to control aperture via the App, and I believe it is up to date. Can you verify which version of the app you’re using, and whether or not you’ve been able to adjust the aperture and have it stick? As soon as I select aperture, it slides automatically back to f/2 (in full...

    Color Grading Inspire 2 X5S ProRes footage

    Hey All, I'm writing because I'm a bit frustrated with the coloring process and lack of information out there on grading footage from DJI and I could use some help... The footage I filmed and I'm working with was shot with my Inspire 2, X5S sensor, DJI 15mm f/1.7 in ProRes 422 HQ. Both the...
