Hey all. Jeff here. I recently sold my Phantom 4 pro in anticipation of the new Mavic 2. I am primarily a landscape photographer with my D850 Nikon, but I love the drone option as well.
HOWEVER, I found myself not wanting to take my drone out due to the fact that it was a pain in the butt to carry around my regular backpack as well as a full Phantom 4 pro case. It was the reason why I sold it primarily. My friend has a Mavic and he just tosses his in his camera case and always has that easily accessible option.
So I sold my drone, and waited for the Mavic 2 pro. I put in my order today when they opened up. Im not worried about the video stuff, I only shoot stills for now, so 4k 60fps is not a worry, however I am curious to know peoples thoughts about the 28mm focal length.
I like taking photos of landscapes and such, and I enjoy the sense of size from a high up drone with a large field of view. 28mm is still wide, but not super wide. The 24mm on the P4Pro was idea, and I would love 20mm!
Anyhow, curious to know if it is a deal breaker for some. I still ordered and will put it through it's paces but no doubt I was a little disheartened when I saw that focal length and not the 24 I was expecting.
However, there is a chance it could offer benefits, Im just not sure how much. what are your thoughts?!
