    Video flickering

    I normally try to get bellow 1/100 in daylight at 24/25fps. That is still high since 1/50 at 25fps will give the best picture IMO. You will still see flicker in most 4k shots, but it will be less noticeable. It’s a hardware/software weakness on the mavic pro and its quite visible in the original...

    New Mavic II Specs Revealed....

    Hmm interesting. Agree with others. If its bigger… ugh. Low light seem to be improved though.

    Video flickering

    That is not entirely true. It’s mainly because of the GOP compression, where you have one single uncompressed image than a series of compressed images in a sequence. This cause a “flicker” effect. Also in the original files. The visible effect can be removed almost completely in post with proper...

    Mavic Air or wait for Mavic Pro 2....

    I can definitely see usage of a back sensor. That’s not my point though. If you look at the DJI business model, there always some trade of on every product. From rumours there seem to be no back sensor on the upcoming MP2. I believe many professionals prefer portability and top notch IQ rather...

    Snow shots

    Whooo… that fallen brother shot is truly great. Nice catch!

    Mavic Air or wait for Mavic Pro 2....

    Yes. A simple combination of all the existing common drones will be a no go for many MP owners. However, I believe they will sell loads of MP2 if they continue to make it truly portable (Like MP) and focus 100% on image quality instead of gimmick features. A small drone capable to deliver...

    Mavic Air or wait for Mavic Pro 2....

    Yes, that was my initial thought as well when I first bought the MP. But after a year at this forum I see many that are more into the flying part than actually capturing images. I have a couple of racing drones and believe, as you, that they give more action than the MP. However, flying a racing...

    Mavic Air or wait for Mavic Pro 2....

    There seem to be, fundamental, two groups flying Mavic Pro (MP). Those who fly for sport/recreation/fun and those who primary use it as a tool for capturing images. The last group have always been a bit disappointed with the MP image quality. I for one is in that last group. IMO (based on the...

    Mavic Pro features vs. Mavic Air?

    The mavic Pro is very quiet comparing to the big boys. Meaning inspire +. Ones the mavic pro is about 50-100 meters up in the air, people hardly notice it. And most people can’t even locate it by sight even though they can hear a small whistle. It’s like the ultimate stealth drone. A lot of my...

    Mavic Pro features vs. Mavic Air?

    Your first point is what trigger me as well. It’s a huge upgrade that will increase image quality from “that’s nice!” to “Was that shot with a Zenmuse camera(Inspire)?”. This mean we can truly get professional look from a PORTABLE drone. Yes there is no RAW, no HDR 10bit+ possibility etc. (maybe...

    Mavic Pro features vs. Mavic Air?

    Yup. You are right. I also got confirmed that they use a Ambarella A9-A1-RH chip. Which makes it kind of.. not working. I was hoping for something else. But I guess they went with the hardware they started with back in the production line. Cant blame them on that though. Guess we have to wait...

    I'm Pissed off, but do I have a right to be?

    Good and valid information. Love it when the community contribute like this! Digging deeper, I also just got confirmed that they use a Ambarella A9-A1-RH chip. It’s a small update from the A9-A0, but I doubt it can manage 100mbits. The chip originates from 2013/14 and is pretty much maxed out as...

    I'm Pissed off, but do I have a right to be?

    Ugh..If this is true… then it’s too bad. I was hoping for something else. Lets cross fingers for an early mavic pro 2 update before we spend 1k on a lesser drone :)

    Mavic Pro features vs. Mavic Air?

    Maybe I sounded naive. Of course there is a lot more to it than just a camera. It’s also possible that it can’t be done for some reason. But let me clarify that I do have experience changing codec algorithms and bitrate with other systems/cameras, and in most cases you can stretch it pretty...

    I'm Pissed off, but do I have a right to be?

    The almost 70% increase in bitrate pisses me off. They both use the same camera but the Air will give a much better footage. The OP is 100% correct that they are moving towards the mavic pro owners by doing so. It would make so much more sense to stay at 60mbps 4k for the Mavic Air. Even that...
