First impressions .. On my Mavic Pro. A different sound. Maybe a little quieter but certainly less abrasive. However there is definitely an issue with prop reflections on the footage. Quite a strong sun. Flying into the sun at approx 300ft. Bottom left hand corner of the footage there's a...

The best info I've got is rightclicking the movie file in Windows and looking at the properties tab. Doesn't give too much info but knowing what colour setting was used is useful.

It's really interesting that DJI are replacing Mavics so often. It's almost a product recall on request.

Thanks for posting .. that's good stuff. I agree with the higher shutter speed. I'm not into motion blur as I'm surveying buildings so let mine rise up to 1k. I don't have any issues with sharpness at -1 close up but that's possibly as I'm shooting man made structures rather than foliage. I'll...

Looks good. What were your settings?

I agree completely. I made the mistake initially of trying to hit 1/60th with 30fps because that was really pushed hard by the early reviewers. Things got a lot better when I gave that up. Now my standard setup is a UV filter just to protect the lens & never go higher than ND4. Also agree with...

That's great .. thanks "None ... 0,0,0" & that'll fix the watercolour issue for everyone. Who'd have thought there was such a simple fix. Wish I'd known that a few weeks ago. And all those guys who sent their Mavic's back after being told to by DJI! All they had to do was dial in "None ...

That's really useful information .. Thanks for posting. So with all this expertise you obviously have, what settings would you suggest us that guys who have no idea what we're doing use? If you're so convinced that, as you stated, every single example on this thread is the product of either our...

That looks a bit more than just the difference between DLog and Art. However my advice would be try Art -1,-1,0. D-log, even in it's latest form always looks just to muddy to me. Just too flat to get the image up in post. Personally unless you've never had one good image, I'd avoid sending the...

With focus, the last few flights I've adopted what others here have suggested. It's a bit of hassle but when you get used to it it gets easier to remember. Start in auto focus. First thing after take off, get up to 40ft. Flick the camera straight down. Touch to focus, then toggle to manual focus...

Can't agree with you I'm afraid. I didn't accept any risk when I bought the Mavic. There was no small print that I'm aware of that stated I would be accepting any risk when I paid out for the thing. Plus I also didn't have any performance expectations other than those that the Mavic was...

I agree with you that it's an amazing piece of technology but not that we should accept it's flaws because we're early adopters. If they'd given me the thing to test for them that would be fine but I paid a shedload of cash for it & I would expect it to be tested & fit for purpose. I certainly...

I read somewhere that the IMU reset routine resets the thing. The entire reset is ... Reset IMU. Recalibrate Gimbal. Reset Camera. I agree with what you expect from a camera that's advertised as 4k. If you do get to speak to DJI, I think I speak for everyone who's posted here in an attempt to...

Quite right. I find it hard to agree with comments referring to how this thing is so cheap & what D'you expect for the money Etc. It's not cheap. It's an expensive piece of kit but they've obviously skimped on the software development. Just hope that, as some posts suggest, DJI are working on a fix
