I'm still using my original drone, a Mavic Air 2. The video quality actually mixes well with footage shot with pro cameras and 4K originals make a great 1080 HD encode (nobody except editors want 4K yet).
As my flying skills have improved over the past 50 hours or so, I'm noticing that even with all the settings dialed in for videography as well as they can be (and I've spent a huge amount of time researching and tweaking them), I still can't avoid the occasional minor bobbles during a complex move that I would never get working with a tripod, dolly, or jib. This has been even more frustrating in my last couple of shoots which were indoors in a large auto shop and I had to use prop guards. (Yes, jellying.) But I still experience it outdoors, especially if there's a bit of wind or I'm trying to pull off a complex 3-axis move.
For those of you who have invested more and gone with a Mavic Pro or Phantom, do you see that providing generally smoother shots that with a smaller drone? Is it like a camera where the inertia of weight works in one's favor.
Thanks,
Ric
