Important Notes:

  • Codecs Matter: 10-bit can be recorded in more efficient codecs like h.265/h.264 or in massive, high-quality professional codecs like Apple ProRes or ProRes RAW. The latter requires fast, expensive media (SSDs) and powerful computers for editing.

  • Color Profiles: Most of these products record 10-bit in a flat color profile like D-Log or D-Log M, which is necessary to maximize the dynamic range benefits. They may also support HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) for HDR video.

  • Older Models: Drones like the Air 2S and Mavic Air 2 are limited to 10-bit color only in a special HDR mode (HLG) and do not support 10-bit in a standard color profile or Log, so they are not included in the main list. The Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 recorded 10-bit in h.265, but it is a discontinued model.
