Transcripts
this is how the new DJI pocket 3
performs in a studio environment using
two compact lights and a microphone
connected directly to the camera just
for comparison here is how the Sony zv1
with the Sony 20 mm
f1.8 performs next to it this camera and
lens costs $3,000 compared to $520 and I
think this cameras look relatively
similar especially in terms of colors
but of course the dep of field is
different but if I really want I can add
fake blurry background to the pocket Tre
which will make this camera's look even
more similar also here is how the pocket
3 looks straight out of the camera
without any color grading and now with
color grading anyhow let me share with
you the camera settings gear and color
grading process method I use to achieve
this look with a pocket tree starting
with the gear the first item is the Boya
by K4 USBC microphone adapter which
allows me to connect my dat vmic D4
shotgun microphone to the pocket 3 I've
positioned the vmac D4 slightly out of
frame so it won't be visible in the shot
and as closest possible to me to get the
absolute best sound quality in terms of
lighting I'm using only two lights in
this shot the first one is my kyite the
Colo CL 60m with a 60x 90 CM soft box
I've positioned it at about 30° from the
camera slightly above me pointing
downwards and I have set its brightness
to about 50% to reduce the ISO on the
pocket tree to 100 to get the least
amount of noise in the shot as for the
second light I'm using the ulanzi 40 wat
light which is mounted on my C and rail
it's set to 100% brightness and it's
pointing at the ceiling to increase the
overall exposure in the room and make
the background a bit brighter just for
comparison here is how it looks without
the background light and now with the
background light I think it makes a
massive difference moving on to the
camera settings I set the resolution and
frame rate to 4K 25p to get the highest
image quality next I set the white
balance to 5500 Kelvin to match the
color temperature of my key light then
in the image adjustment menu I choose
costume and set the sharpness to minus
two and noise reduction to minus one I
prefer to add sharpness during post-
production and I think minus one noise
reduction is The Sweet Spot on the
action 4 and also on the pocket tree
then I set the focus mode to continuous
because I am moving in the frame the
glamour effect to off because I don't
want any weird overlay effects the color
to dlog M to get the widest dynamic
range and the most flexibility in post
production when color grading and the
microphone gain to minus5 because it's
very close to me in terms of exposure I
set it to manual with a shutter speed of
1 over 50 to get the most exposure
without affecting motion blow in the
image and I set the iso to 100 to get a
reasonable amount of exposure without
negatively impacting noise performance
if you have very powerful lighting you
can lower the iso to 50 to get even
better noise performance but
unfortunately my lights are not that
powerful and finally for the gimbal
settings I've set the rotational speed
to default and gimbal mode to follow now
let's do a quick image quality
comparison with this token head angle
between this camera the pocket 3 the zv1
with a 20 mm
f1.8 GoPro 12 and action 4 so first of
all let's start with the DJI action 4
I'm going to put the settings that I use
for this camera somewhere on the screen
and I think this camera also performs
really well in a studio environment if
you have decent amount of lighting and
now I have switched to the GoPro Hero 12
I'm also going to put the settings for
this camera somewhere on the screen and
I think this camera doesn't look as good
in this kind of environment as the
pocket Tre or the action 4 because GoPro
cameras really struggle in low light
conditions and finally this is how the
Sony zv1 with the 20 mm f1.8 looks like
in comparison to the DJI action 4 poke 3
and the GoPro Hero 12 I think this
camera obviously is going to look the
best but it's also the most expensive at
$3,000 including the lens and now again
here is how the pocket R looks like in
comparison to all these cameras
obviously I think the zv1 wins in terms
of image quality second place I think is
the pocket R it's very close and it's
very impressive actually how good the
image quality is on the pocket 3 then
the third place I think is the action
for and the last and the fourth one is
the GoPro Hero 12 let me know down below
which one you think is the best and why
and now let's move on to color grading I
want to show you how I color graded this
shot with the pocket 3 so I'm now inside
fat prom and I have here this clip on
the timeline from the pocket Tre let me
show exactly what I did in terms of
color grading to make this clip look the
way you see it right now so first of all
I have used the color finale Pro plugin
to color grade all of the footage in
this video and I'm not sponsored by them
or anything like that I actually bought
the plugin myself last week they had
like a sale and I decided to buy it
because I felt like I reached the limit
with the built-in tools inside fut Pro
for color grading I think this tool has
a bit more advanced features and it's a
bit more simple to use for advanced
color grading so let's start first of
all I added 15% of sharpness because I
reduced the sharpness in camera now let
me disable everything here and I'm going
to start from the beginning so first of
all I have adjusted the exposure and
added some contrast with curves and I
use the Luma plus RGB mode because I
only wanted to affect the exposure the
luminance and not the saturation I
prefer to control the saturation in a
separate node or layer then I increased
the saturation with color wheels I just
added 1.42 Global saturation and that's
it and fortunately I didn't have to
adjust the white balance because the
colors from the pocket tree are so super
accurate then I slightly adjusted the
skin tones by increasing the saturation
in the skin tone colors and also
slightly adjusting the Hue of the skin
tones next thing I did is I added a mask
an ellipse mask on me in the middle here
and then I added curves for the outer
part of the mask and reduced the
exposure to make the background a bit
darker and then in the inner part of the
Mask I increased the exposure just
slightly to make myself a bit more
separated from the back ground next
thing I did is I added a teal and orange
color grade by isolating my skin tones
here is the before here is the after so
I added an hsl mask here let me show you
exactly how it looks like let me remove
this blur here so basically I isolated
my skin tones as much as possible maybe
I'm going to adjust a bit more now
actually let me see if I can make it
look a bit better and I also added about
5 6% of blur to make the transition
between the color grade and my skin
tones a bit smoother that's one reason I
bought this plugin because if you use
the built-in tools inside focut Pro and
you want to make an hsl mask and you're
really pushing the colors sometimes you
can get artifacts but here you have this
blur effect to make a nice transition
between the color grade and the hsl mask
and also I reduced the overall intensity
of the till and orange grade to 85% from
100 then I Used Log Wheels to clean up
the Shadows a little B bit because I
felt like I had too much teal in the
shadows let me zoom in to about 200% so
you can clearly see the difference so
look at the door here this is before and
after let me go to another part of the
shot look here before a bit teal in here
and now it looks a bit more neutral a
very minor adjustment but it goes a long
way when you add all of these
adjustments in a color GD and basically
how I cleaned up the Shadows is by
pushing the shadow slider wheel here to
towards the opposite color of teal which
is basically red and magenta then I
added this uh six vectors tool which is
basically like hsl tool but a bit easier
to use and I adjusted the color of my
t-shirt here as you can see and also my
skin and a bit of the background I
played around also with the greens here
with the plant in the background but
it's a very minor adjustment nothing
really crazy here and here I desaturated
the Shadows even more with saturation
versus luminance by selecting the shadow
area and pushing it down and
finally I added this fake Boke effect
which actually looks pretty cool this is
with the effect without the effect with
the effect without the effect a pretty
significant difference and to not affect
myself I added a mask an ellipse mask
just so it only will affect the
background basically so this is again
the before look at the plant here the
door and the computer and after it's
very minor adjustment but it definitely
adds to the overall quality of the
[Music]
three anyhow I hope you enjoyed this
video and found it informative if you
have any questions or comments let me
know down below I'm going to make a lot
more content with this fantastic camera
and I guess I'll see you in the next
video thank you for watching thank you
