    Videos are soft focus and highlights are blown out

    You may have gotten a camera with a defective lens. Plenty of those floating around. My first two M2P had poor focus and uneven sharpness, the third M2P was ok.

    Poll - what resolution to your upload to YouTube as ?

    If the bitrate on Youtube was the same regardless of resolution, yes I would agree. But it's not. :) You increase the bitrate indirectly by uploading videos at a higher resolution. 720p is streamed from Youtube at 6,5 Mbps 1080p - 10 Mbps 2,7K - 20 Mbps 4K - 45-56 Mbps So 4K has almost 10...

    The sharpest aperture for the Mavic 2 Pro ?

    Both Polarpro Filters and Quadcopter Guide says f/4 is the sharpest, but the differences are not that big f/2.8 - f/5.6. You should stay away from f/8 - f/11 though. https://www.polarprofilters.com/blogs/polarpro/at-what-aperture-is-the-mavic-2-pro-sharpest

    Poll - what resolution to your upload to YouTube as ?

    IMO the low bitrates is perhaps a bigger problem than resolution alone. 720p on Youtube is just 6,5 Mbps bitrate and can't handle too much movements at once. Slow moving scenes might look ok, and also the typical TV shows with talking people in front of a static background. Those things are easy...

    Mavic 2 Pro Variable ND - Too Good To Be True?

    From what I've heard, variable NDs in general degrades image quality somewhat compared to standard NDs, and that you should only use them if the benefit of quick adjustments outweighs this. I don't know how much of a problem it is though. Would like to see some more examples. :)

    Poll - what resolution to your upload to YouTube as ?

    You should know that Youtube doesn't show the actual video file you uploaded. Uploaded videos are always re-encoded to Youtube's own formats and different resolutions. So if you upload a standard 1080p video file already "internet optimized" in fairly low bitrate with some compression...

    Looking to buy a Mavic 2 soon

    My first M2P had a defective lens with large fuzzy areas and it was impossible to get good focus across the whole frame. About 30-40% of the image was slightly out of focus. The second unit had the exact same focus problems! Just in different areas of the frame. The third unit was finally much...

    NULL photo mode - Watch out for this lest you lose your shots

    Do you possibly know what you did to trigger the bug? (perhaps after a firmware upgrade, or a fresh install of DJI GO and first time use on the mobile device, etc) Can you reproduce the bug and set the camera to this NULL photo mode again? I have a feeling I've lost some photos myself this way...

    Photo quality Mavic 2 Zoom & FCC/CE

    Doh. :P Phantom 4 Pro and Mavic 2 Pro cameras, my fingers obviously thought a Phantom 2 Pro would sum them up nicely.

    Photo quality Mavic 2 Zoom & FCC/CE

    The feature produces a photo at 24 mm FOV with an actual higher resolution detail compared to a single photo at 24 mm FOV. From the same camera, obviously. That's it. I don't see anyone claiming anything else. :) Super Resolution is a variant of an automated panorama, it's even located under...

    Photo quality Mavic 2 Zoom & FCC/CE

    In Super resolution the camera optically zooms in and take several photos to create a "zoomed out" final image. The feature has it's limitations when stuff is moving etc but you do get an actual noticable increase in resolution and details on objects compared to a normal photo of the same view...

    Is there a way to adjust EV spacing in bracketing mode?

    I think the photos in 5 AEB have the same 0.7 spacing between them so you gain some additional dynamic range compared to 3 photo AEB.

    ND Filters: Polarized vs. Non-Polarized for easiest/best video quality?

    I would not recommend PL filters unless you do very specific planned shots and adjust the filter accordingly before takeoff. If you do the casual "fly around in an area and take some photos and video" use normal ND filters or you will get color shifts etc depending on the camera orientation that...

    How to set the video to HQ in Mavic Pro 2?

    Well there is not really such a thing as a "PAL system TV" anymore, at least not if you mean a "50 Hz only TV". All PAL TVs since 20 years or so can display both 50 Hz and 60 Hz equally good, they switch refresh rate depending on the input signal. 25 fps content play fine on phones and tablets...

    How to set the video to HQ in Mavic Pro 2?

    I might add, 50 Hz / 25 fps in PAL regions ONLY applies to TV broadcasts. Everything else people typically use to watch internet content on, PCs, mobile phones and tablets, media players etc defaults to 60 Hz. For example, if you plug in a Chromecast in a european TV it will default to 60 Hz...
