so ive been flying my mini 3 for like 4 months now and yesterday was honestly the first time i felt like the footage actually looked good without me having to do a ton of editing. caught this sunset over the reservoir near my house, did a slow reverse pull back while tilting the gimbal up and it just worked, you know? the colors were insane, little bit of haze which actually helped diffuse everything.

dunno where to post the actual clip tho, is there a way to attach video here or do people just drop youtube links? also curious if anyone has tips on d-log vs normal for sunset stuff, i was shooting normal and wondering if i left quality on the table

yeah just drop a youtube or vimeo link, most people do that. would actually like to see it. sunsets over water are hard to mess up with the mini 3 honestly the sensor handles warm tones pretty well. and to answer your question ? shoot d-log if you can, even just for the highlights. sunsets will clip so fast in normal mode and youll lose all that detail in the bright parts of the sky. takes a bit more work in post but worth it

post the link!! i started doing the same thing a few weeks ago, reverse pullbacks at golden hour are kind of my thing now lol. also dont stress too much about d-log yet if youre still getting used to everything, normal mode footage can still look great
