This clip makes me nuts. I'm impressed with the high wind capability of the MA and love the color quality. I'm also realizing that if I follow the rules about not flying over people not directly involved, keeping LOS at all times, and avoiding any "peeping Tom" mentality of onlookers I'll never have this kind of a video presentation.
It's beautiful and I respect the talent involved, but for me it's a fantasy that won't ever happen.

Grain of salt again. Probably provided drone to review by DJI, since he’s had it a while. End of story. Says he has no range issues but doesn’t tell you how far he flew it etc.

Just wait for the impending flood of actual user reviews here. One already has already stated that he has had video drops and signal drops and range hasn’t looked impressive at all.

Does the video look good? Sure. But it looks the same as the Mavic Pro video. These video samples are pretty pointless!

Never heard of Drone Nerds? They are one of the largest DJI dealers in the world.

I’m still new to the drone world. Didn’t want to make assumptions.

First impressions from that video seems that the Air does a better job of showing detail in foliage like trees and grass.

That's my biggest gripe with the pro and it's 60mb encoder.

60Mbit is more than enough. Really should be HEVC h.265 on the Air. Wouldn’t need 100Mbit then either.

Yeah so far that’s where the biggest difference has looked to me is in foliage. I expect that’s where most of the 100mbps encoding will benefit: saturated groupings will show slightly more detail.

Not bad so far, but honestly it doesn’t look much different from Mavic Pro.

Thanks for sharing the footage. Looks great. I'm one of those debating on getting the Mavic Pro or the Mavic Air and real world footage like this really helps. Thanks for taking the time to share it.
