I am wondering why nobody is complaining about the inferior picture quality in 1080p in comparison to the Phantom 4.
The reason is because the Mavic uses the "pixel binning" method instead of the "super sampling" method of the Phantom 4.
For those who don´t know the advantages and disadvantages:
Pixel binning: chooses in downscaling a random pixel color of the surrounding four pixels but is much faster in sense of compute speed and reflects in a much better latency.
Super sampling: regards the surrounding pixels and chooses the best pixels to meet the best possible quality which needs more compute power but results in a higher latency.
Probably the reason could be because DJI will be publishing the goggle´s and would need a low latency video picture, which is fine to do so, but,
I would really wish that DJI would update their FW to use the super sampling method when flying without goggles to get the best possible video image on SD-card and pixel binning when low latency is required for goggles.
Usually I film in 4k and downsample on my own with final cut i.e.. But sometimes I really want high frame video (more than 25/30 pictures per second) to get a smoother video or to do slo-mo on post processing.
What do you think?
