I wan't there for the actual test but I heard they didn't even get off the ground. I was talking to them the night before about dynamic home point but I don't think they got a chance to test it.

I was shooting stills on the back of a tv commercial a couple of weeks ago and the 1st AD brought along a mavic in the hope of getting some aerial shots of the ship at sea. I was interested to see if it would work. Speculating that once it took off and hovered, with no control inputs it would...

I have a set of Taco filters and they seem very good. No image degradation or colour shift. I usually use the +16 or +32 to get my shutter speed down to 1/50 on a bright day. However I was flying today and noticed for the first time a reflection on the image. Admittedly this was an unusual...

Didn't mean to sound condescending. To me the look of his film seems classically negative sharpness. I think +1 is something we may have to live with due to the Mavic's tiny sensor but time will tell I suppose.

There a thread on here about this. I think it's up to page million by now. Bottom line: don't set your sharpness to a negative number despite what all the youtube "gurus" say. It will destroy detail. Sharpness +1 normally or maybe 0 on a very bright day or if your subject doesn't have much...

They look fine to me. No focus falloff at the edges like some are reporting. At least not that I can see a web resolution.

Yes, the reason for that is that they were saved as level 12 jpegs. I haven't compared full frame sizes but these were all captured from 100% displays. The more detail that is in a picture the bigger the jpeg size need to be to record that detail. An extreme example might be a blank grey jpeg...

Here are some example crops. -3 looks mushy and stayed like that until it got to zero. -3, -2 and -1 were pretty much crap. Zero was ok but +1 looked better. From +1 to +3 it looked pretty much the same as far as I could tell.

Glad I could help. I did some final testing this morning before sunup. I'm sold on the idea of + sharpening. I locked the mavic on a scene and did run-ups from -3 to +3. Mush at -3 stays mush until you get to 0 or +1. Then it's fine with virtually no watercolour. One it hits +1 I can't see any...

I agree. And even if you go too far with the sharpening you can always pull it back with Neatvideo or similar. Better to do that than get an irretrievable mess by going negative sharpening on the Mavic.

Still more testing to get this watercolour thing pinned down. Here's my latest that I'm pretty happy with. Note that this is for my Mavic. Your mileage may vary but I thought I'd put it out there for people who are still having issues. Settings for good results are as follows: Ignore any advice...

I have no idea of what the compass calibration does in the background or what effect is has on the internal settings or causes for glitches in the aircraft. All I know is that I have seen it recommended to be used when there's potential for trouble.

Hi all, Has anyone come across this situation: I was flying (around 10 minutes into the flight). There was a strong wind warning but the Mavic was in stable flight. I was flying forward (Im guessing around 10kph) when there seemed to be a glitch. The image on the feed jumped a bit and then it...

No change as far as I can tell. My research leads me to believe that the Mavic is just compromised in regard to image quality- but that's the tradeoff for portability and convenience. The tiny chip simply can't keep up. So keep it at none, 0,0,0 D-cinelike or similar, expose as far to the right...

Thanks for that. It seems to fit the pattern I'm seeing. I'm hoping to build up a profile of the best settings to use under different situations.
