Interesting information.

My bad, I thought they would be able to record video on SD cards at least (SSD on board on Inspire 2). Therefore, they could be a curious GH5 competitor with 4/3" format, 4K/60p, still a chance for V90 SDXC route (= 720Mbps; ProRes begins at 500Mbps, without mention V60 cards for ProRes LT or 1080HQ at 220Mbps).

Pity, that said, they're losing a fine chance to be a competitive camera company.

Too bad mavic does not have phantom video now. 4K 100mbps h265 with one inch sensor would have cut it for me. 

 

Funny to say once we're unable to yet order the version 1 now but actually, Mavic Pro 2 will :-)

Phantom 4 Pro is a bomb :-)

Impressive stuff. DJI is earning a special and unique place in the industry. Very disruptive products. Reminds me RED* but at DSLR prices. I am sold.

 

* without mention, there's no RED drone or RED Osmo...

Correct me if Im wrong, but that still needs a recorder unit, no?

 

Indeed. Well, it seems 1600 will compete with the GH5...

another low light sample, but response of same kind... crushed blacks, oh yeah, but virtually noiseless and detail where there's light to expose:

Not available embedded but it is worthy to watch it on vimeo... take a look:

Yeah sure it could be called cinematic. But then make all units blur the edges. Or make them all sharp. Or allow me to control this "feature". Right now it's too accidental.

Well, unless we can call accidental to the tap to focus feature...

This feature is unique, not present in any one of the Mavic competitors. Without mention a lens aperture almost one stop faster comparing with the previous offer : )

As written earlier, so far, the jury is still out if it is a QC issue, a design flaw or a feature from its tap to focus design.

I'd even dare to bet beyond (and a way more) than faulty units...

The tap to focus design + a shitty codec for half-focused areas when the settings on sharpness are dialed down.

Yeah, but what you like is not a feature but some kind of lens flaw in a few devices. Image you get your copy and it is sharp edge to edge. The horror! :D

Really? I wouldn't be so sure of that... : P

Even though the QC explanation route or because there's also a chance for a lens design flaw as much as reported with the Lumia 1020 model; as already written earlier in a previous post of mine along this thread BTW : ) I bet it's much related to the focus system present on Mavic;

it's all about tap to focus design, I believe.

Remember it's the first time you have it present alongside a drone.

I believe that's why you're able to get it 'sharp edge to edge' throughout some other footage samples, as well. 

But, as you wish, that said, I don't see a single reason why people are used to praise any-lovely-distortion when we simply mention the magic words 'anamorphic glass', despite to easily irritate themselves when a similar feature pops up in a Chinese piece of nouvelle technology designed and made somewhere in the other side of Pacific ; ) Shouldn't it be called cinematic in the same way? ;-)

Link fixed now:

 

Another one:

 

Indeed. And this is one of the reasons why I like this device. No oversharpened edges. Makes it much more cinematic to my eyes, than the usual stuff I've usually seen from the other toys. As matter of fact, this is the first bird of this category to catch my attention.

@Emanuel do you have a video out?

PM sent :-)

There is good and bad footage stuff as happens with all capture devices... :-)

Couple videos up with the Mavic falling out of the sky too now.

The point is no matter how worthy Sanders' proposals are, no one can build up a whole wall / world against Trump's voters. People tend to forget it. World can't be saved. Neither the people.

Only a bit less worse than it really and actually is. And always will :-(

The last video is very soft around the edges, there's a thread about this here: http://mavicpilots.com/threads/have-anyone-else-experienced-uneven-focus.717/

Makes me want to wait it out...

Indeed. It is not the first time this has been noticed.

Because of manual focus? Lens design flaw/issue (remember that's not rare or it is even common to occur with anamorphic lenses, mostly affordable ones) or QC case to comprehend only a part of the production as same as seems to have occurred with Nokia Lumix 1020?

"Looked good until I pulled it up on the big screen, it seems like you might have a lens issue, the right side is in focus and the left side is very soft. People have been having this issue, I would look into it". ~ Chad Martin

"setup the c1 or c2 to center focus is the best way to get really sharp videos, you going to be use to this for sure, set this dials to center focus" ~ Francisco Silva

 

Indeed. Sad to see. The price to pay when they just release some irrelevant refresh to their previous line.

 

On DJI side, seems only a limited quantity of Mavic units have been delivered to the first pre-orders placed, so far.

There are millions behind the sales air race, that's the reason why. Pity that both sides don't choose to release a better and higher bitrate codec...
