In comparison to the Mavic Air 2:
It's heavier.
It's noisier, not so much in hover but noticeably so when flying. Any flaring is deafening compared to the Air 2.
One the positive side, It's immediately familiar to any Air 2 pilot, which is good. Walk right in, fly right out. No problem.
No ability to shoot only RAW. What? Why? The jpg's are utterly useless but they are written onto the card whether you want them or not.
The video image quality is far better, Im doing some RAW stills tests now, but it looks promising as I found the stills from the Mavic Air 2 to be completely unusable.
Some oddities:
When shooting in interval mode the drone locks up after 20 or so shots. That is, it is still spinning the timer, but you lose the picture and the screen goes blank. A bit disconcerting at first, but immediately rectified by GTH function. Could be my card, but I doubt it.
Secondly, where the $#^@ is hyper lapse?
Thirdly, perhaps someone can explain to me why, when shooting 4K @60fps the footage properties show up as variable frame rates somewhere between 50fps and 58fps. What is that all about?
