    Does Mavic Shoot Video or Watercolor Paintings? Don’t settle. Get Involved!

    Went out today for a test flight, i restarted the camera by switching NTSC/PAL like some people mentioned here. First one is a screencapture from a video with "None"and the standard settings: Second one with D-Cinelike and sharpness to -1: I should probably tried the D-Cinelike without...

    Does Mavic Shoot Video or Watercolor Paintings? Don’t settle. Get Involved!

    Well, that might be it. After all the reviews I've seen, i expected something similar. But still not happy how it is either 0 noise reduction or too much noise reduction. So you are saying that every Mavic, with the wrong settings, will have this muddy images, right? I will take it out this...

    As I understand from the posts in this thread its the noise reduction that kicks in terribly. With the D-LOG or other "flat" profiles you have naturally more noise and even if you shoot with "none 0,0,0" you have noise in your image with the Mavic. You are correct, when you say you should...

    Hey AyeYo, you might be right with the "too much expectations" with this small sensor, but even if I shoot in D-LOG and set the sharpness to -1, its not complaining about the lack of sharpness, it looks like Photoshop with some cheap watercolor filter. I work daily with hundreds of images and...

    Got it up in the air and had everything on standard. Was using the auto focus on the white building back/center. It looks better than this morning, but still seems like its not focusing correctly? As the front parts seem to be rather in focus. Or am I expecting too much from the small sensor?

    I had the same issue: This is a 100% crop. It doesnt look out of focus, it looks like a cheap Photoshop filter. So I just calibrated/reset everything and had a test shot in my garden (not flying) and it looks much sharper (but the object is also very close to the object). Not sure if I can...

    Portable HDD/Adapter to dump SD to?

    I second the WD Wireless. Have the 2GB one and great when travelling.

    There is possibly a legal trademark issue with "Mavic"

    I don't think thats really an issue. I think DJI is aware of that and PHANTOM as well as INSPIRE are also brand names in some countries.

    What viewing device will you be using?

    You can still downgrade your S7 to the July firmware. That schould work, confirmed by a couple of people.

    What SD card will you be using with the Mavic?

    I will use the SanDisk Extreme 64GB, this worked fine for the 4k Video with the Phantom. I will also carry a WD Wireless 2TB Harddisk, which has a SD Card reader. So I can easily transfer the files from the SD card on the go, without carrying a Laptop.

    Hi....from Malaysia

    Hey Deric, I heard the regulations in Malaysia are quite strict. Is that true?

    What viewing device will you be using?

    I still have my Shield and hope I can use it easily. Will try the 3d Print-out with a holder. As a phone I still have my Honor 6, which I want to replace with the Mi Note 2, when it comes out (hopefully next month).

    Tipping Point... What was yours

    I had my P3 4k, which has no Lightbridge. Seeing a friend flying with the P4 showed me how much I wanted/needed the Lightbridge. But I am also travelling to other countries a lot. And there the Phantom was always a bit of a decision. Will I take it or not? I brought my drone with me to...
