    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    Yes, Although by your very own assertion it is certainly very underwhelming, that a much more expensive (50% price increase) and newer drone, with a much better sensor, cannot resolve more detail that the older precedessor. And yes, the 10 bit color is nicer, but that's only a part of the...

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    The 4K FOV video is not horrible but: 1. It uses an inferior downsampling algorithm (subsampling) as opposed to that (supersampling) used in the other DJI 1" sensor consumer drones (P4P/P4A). Therefore there is less detail that in the aforementioned drones using similar HW. 2. As a result of...

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    I agree with you on that, they have been unrealiable in the past (e.g. claiming P3P initially couldn't do 2.7K because a "HW limitation" using the same SOC than other cameras that did it. It was later added). However considering DJI introduced P4P V2.0 in May 2018 it makes sense to keep it...

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    The DJI reps in RC Groups crearly stated EOL affected the P4P but not the P4P V2.0. P4P V2.0 stays. RC Groups - View Single Post - Official DJI Mavic 2 ***Owner Thread***

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    So the original Mavic Pro started shipping on October 15th 2016. It received four FW upgrades within the first 9 weeks of existance. Date : 2016.10.21 Firmware : v01.02.0800 Date : 2016.11.09 Firmware : v01.02.0900 Date : 2016.12.06 Firmware : v01.03.0000 Date : 2016.12.26 Firmware ...

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    Categorically no. I posted in RCGroups my first negative impressions on 4K FOV on September 2nd see the link below: Official DJI Mavic 2 ***Owner Thread*** - Page 90 - RC Groups Cliff posted his video on September 14th. My Palantir didn't anticipate this, otherwise I would have also mentioned...

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    Well considering 2.7K is roughly 4MP and 4K is 8MP. Having double the information should provide more than a very slight detail increase over 2.7K. I took a picture of my M2P and supersampled to 4K (cropping to 16:9) and also supersampled to 2.7K. Both bicubic. Then I increased the zoom of 2.7K...

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    Thanks for the effort of putting this together. As expected in 4K FOV is terribe in terms of resolved detail. Worse than M1P or a GoPro Hero 5... So those of us who feel cheated in the video department with the M2P have all the right to feel this way. And DJI says it is only noticiable in...

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    Whatever SOC they used I'd be very surprised if it really couldn't match the CPU power required to supersample 4K like in the P4P. The P4P uses the older Amba H1, even the $300 Yi 4K+ action cam uses the H2 far superior to the former. Same for GoPro and their own GP1 in the H6B/H7B. GP1 and H2...

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    The mechanical shutter is only used for stills, it plays no role in videos. Good mechanical shutters are typically rated for 150K actuations, at 30fps you'd burn it in 5000 secs = 1h 23min of continuos video.

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    MA had better IQ than M1P and it was a segment below. M1P had similar IQ than P4, see below: DJI Mavic Pro VS Phantom 4 video quality Comparison 4K - Helipal com I'd settle for -at least- similar IQ between M2P and P4P. And of course if a future P5 surpasses M2P/P4P then no reason to complain...

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    And for those who say DJI never said "the M2P would be a foldable P4P", just remember the Mavic Air case. The Mavic Air had a superior IQ to the original Mavic Pro, despite being a cheaper drone, and for everybody this was fine and natural evolution as it was a much newer drone. So we were...

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    I'd say even if the P4P wouldn't exist we would still highlight the issues of M2P in 4K FOV as it would be compared against M2Z, Parrot Anafi, Autel EVO, etc. and would lose against them all in terms of 4K FOV clarity. It is simply 4K FOV is not good enough and there are legit issues with it...

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    I've noticed he had been lately crusading for DJI across critic YouTube videos, in the comments section, so he has been absent for a couple of days. I see the peace is now over. There are noticiable IQ issues in 4K FOV like the weird artifacting shown in message #553 Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P...

    Stability of the M2P

    Yep also your video is flying at low altitude with close subjects that makes the whole process harder. In the video I posted previously objects are at 500m+ so image shifting is way smaller.
