    Sorry to say this but I see it on your video. 2.05mins in, look at the buildings. My eyes are so used to spotting it now but someone else might not be able to spot it at first. I might not the best person to comment as I sell my stuff and need the best of the best, so bear that in mind.

    I'm seeing the same watercolour effect in your clip the trees in the bottom of the picture don't look right to me.

    I've got a full set of polar pro ND filters up for grabs if your interested - the really good ones that don't fowl the gimbal start-up dance. Plus a car charger - I'm in Canada but can ship anywhere.

    I prefer to sharpen in post, a flat unsharpened profile is always best colour grading.

    I hear ya but I need pro quality as i do get paid, the quality isn't good enough for me from what I've seen. Believe me it was a disappointing decision to have to come to, this was meant to be THE drone.

    This was one of my issues and I think in your case but I could be wrong, is that you are trying to get more out of the Mavic than is in there. The problem is the amount of information the Mavic is trying to record at 60 Mbps. This is especially noticeable when you have fine branches and leaves...

    I tried all sorts of different setting and got the same result, for me I think it was a case bad luck (dud drone). If all Mavic's had the same image quality as mine then I think people would be returning their drones on mass. The picture quality was pretty good in perfect light but still had...

    Already thrown the baby out and got the P4 Pro. I'd use the term "Pro quality" loosely as the sensor is about the size of an iPhone camera and personally I thought the image quality from the P3 was better. Sad to loose the portability though.

    Went to Multirotorheli in Calgary to return the Mavic. The owner a really nice guy took a look at the footage on my computer and agreed there was a problem. He said that he had sold 80 units and had 1 returned due to the same issue. He was happy to return it on my behalf but said usually the...

    This is a screen grab of a 4k recording - sorry for the low res shot but trust me it's in focus in the middle. Look at the trucks on the ice in the next shot, it looks like a water colour image. The trees are as in focus as it will get, then look at the image below that - the rightside on the...

    I'm not talking about taking stills which i take in RAW, I'm referring to video. The stills are also like a water colour painting no real detail.
