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

    Shot some footage today and learned a few things. Mainly that the filter I used (Polar Pro Cinama Series Vivid ND4PL) helped with apparent noise in the grass but did not eliminate it entirely. Also that using auto exposure and locking EV will cause some potentially unwanted results in your...

    Afaik this switches it to photo mode and off video. At least it has done so in my experience. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    State Farm said no!

    I live about 15 miles from Chicago and was able to get my drone insured.

    I do have them but it has been too dull outside to use them recently, so none of my footage is with the filters so far.

    If I up the bitrate when I export the video in post will this help to correct the issue? Or is 2.7k really ideal since it uses 45mbps?

    After watching this video I am further convinced my Mavic has an issue. I see no shimmering in his clips at 4k@30, he mentions aliasing and moire being noticeable at framerates above 30 and demonstrates that quite well, I seem to start seeing that issue at 30fps when shooting in 4k though...

    Mind posting some of your edited work? I also think you may have me confused with someone else on this thread, I am purely an enthusiast and do not get paid for anything. I do some editing myself but my skills are lacking as I'm still very new to editing in general. I never tried upscaling to...

    Your footage looks very similar to mine from what I can tell. Are you considering this flawed or good footage in your opinion?

    Mind sharing some footage with us? And I believe most of us, at least me are recording in either 2.7k or 4k @30.

    I'd agree with you judging by a lot of the footage I have so far, there are a lot of leafless trees and other details for the Mavic to record, however, the few videos I posted closer to the ground seem like they would be easier on the drone and I am still noticing issues. For now I don't have...

    Smudgy video isn't my issue. Yes at -2 sharpening I can notice it getting blurry but the higher the sharpening the more of that "shimmer" effect I get and that is the problem I've been dealing with since day 1. I am really looking forward to seeing your videos and doing some comparisons when...

    I just took some footage about an hour ago and decided to attempt to showcase my issue here. Something I am noticing is that with the sharpness set at -1 many things (especially foliage) seem to shimmer and this was my initial cause for concern with my camera along with some noticeable moire in...

    I think the point of this thread, at least from my perspective is trying to compare the image quality I or someone else is getting, to others to see if there IS a problem with the camera, or if this is just the quality the mavic is capable of producing. The issues aren't huge for many and I get...
