      Ha ha! I got the drone last Friday but it rained quite a bit recently. I finished the video late Tuesday. It was hard not to join in when all of the other channels were talking about the rumors and leaks.

    I really appreciate the honest review. I think most people hold back when they are among the few that get advance devices for review. I like that you not only showed off the new features but also included the commentary at the end about some of the shortcomings. It was a very helpful video that inspired me to upgrade to this latest release from DJI.

  • @endeavortrikes
    @endeavortrikes 5 років тому +5

    I was on the fence regarding the pro and zoom but ended up with the zoom and so glad I did. I really like the zoom feature and do HD so I can take full advantage of 4X. Great review as always and very nice video.

    @RonaldBrown59 6 років тому +1

    Great review Ed, you really covered a lot of important points. About your issue with sport mode button on the controller getting switch on by accident, it happens to me often on the Mavic Pro 1 also. And I'm not quite sure where your going with the 60fps comment. This frame rate is intended for a slow motion effect, almost movies are filmed at 24fps, and almost all TV shows are filmed at 30fps. So people are accustomed to these rates, so when they see 60fps it looks odd to them. Unless your trying to achieve a slow motion type special effect, there is no reason for the typical drone pilot to use this frame rate. As a example i often use a higher frame, up to 120fps to capture snow fall, the snowfakes seem bigger and they float in the air longer. Enjoy the new Mavic Zoom, that is going to be a great drone. Very well produced video.

If that camera gets hit even a little thst drone is done and of course dji is gonma give youtube.com a drone before anyone else so they can promote there product. And yes they got commsions feom dji and if they say they dont llol not true but i still gottta have this drone lol lol lol

  • @123thedman1
    @123thedman1 6 років тому

    Great to see somebody show one of the most important upgrades to the mavic pro . Best video by far when it comes to the actual zoom itself. It's amazing how many videos on youtube that did not give any real attention to the zoom and how it works in real time. It's called the mavic 2 "zoom" for god's sake for a reason. People reviewing it as if it just happen to be part of the name. You could do a whole video on the zoom, i don't think people quite get how amazing a 4 zoom is on a drone for this price. Especially when you wear dji goggles , imagine a tv right in front of you as your screen for flying and then multiply the size by 8. This is huge for DJI goggles users. Dji Goggle are like the playstation VR, not doing nearly as well as they should be, why. Because the only way to really experience them is to use them, any flight where you can not see your drone they are definitely a must. I could say a lot more but i will leave it there or i will never finish . Rant over 😉

  • @gpierre90
    @gpierre90 5 років тому +1

    Video quality wise may not be as perfect as the phantom 4 pro or the afore mentioned mavic 2 pro but I think its a very good drone. The video quality looks good enough in my opinion and you have the 4x lossless zoom, how great is that and couple that with the occusync 2.0, great battery flight times and not to forget the sensors. I think you can get some stunning work with this. Im even thinking of buying one.

  • @joolwing
    @joolwing 6 років тому +1

    The most important thing I’ve learned in my experience is not to ignore the battery warning when it gets low. I did just that this spring and it wound up going into return to home while the drone was under a large tree. Flew straight up into the branches. I’ve learned my lesson and also learned how to replace the camera gimble wire harness.

    Ed...good review...appreciate/respect your opinions...I was vacillating between the Zoom & Pro versions, but finally settled on the Pro just for the reasons you stated...video quality. Since I'm currently photographing with a P4P, I couldn't see taking a step backwards. Someday we'll see a DJI drone with both a 1" sensor & zoom, but for now, it's the M2P. Should arrive in a couple days...

  • @digiteye
    @digiteye 6 років тому

    Thanks, very useful. I still have not decided on which one to buy but now I'm getting to understand a little more about what the zoom effects could do which I think not much. I also have a gut feeling that dji wants to push the zoom version as the 1" sensor is something that most customers were looking for, quality with portability. The reviews that came out first all somehow biased in favor of the "creativity" the zoom offers, one top youtuber went as far as saying that zoom will be his regular drone to take with on trips... Waiting for your review on the pro version.

  • @777-Phil

  • @IdeologieUK
    @IdeologieUK 6 років тому

    I think DJI have done well, though I'm not sure which one to get. I'm keen on the Hitchcock effect but something's telling me a Hasselblad 1" will be a lot better. In terms of Zoom I generally fly close in and not interested in wildlife so I reckon at 4K you've got a lot of scope to zoom in and maintain quality, so for me I reckon as much as it would be nice to get both, I'll probably go with the Hasselblad version. Thanks Ed, awesome review!

    @BMacksAerialVisuals 6 років тому

    Ed, 6 months ago you helped sell me on DJI Spark. Been incredibly happy with it ever since. Although I have been watching Mavic videos and can really see the difference in the gymbals between the two, I've held off buying the Mavic knowing that the "new and improved" was on the way. Pretty sure you did it again. I'm gonna wait another 2-4 weeks to see if any issues arise, but I can't wait to get this! Loved the pros and cons you presented, also.
    I am also a model railroader (HO scale) so the rail yard scenes I really got a kick out of. Great work!
    BTW. how is it the 1080p you put up still looks really good on UA-cam? I've posted some stuff which I'm happy with, but your video footage of downtown and the freeway traffic really stood out great.

    The Zoom feature is awesome. It's one of the reasons I love my iPhone 8+. I could see this feature being REALLY useful filming an outdoor wedding. The farther away the better so you don't get a ton of footage with people staring up at the drone. I successfully stopped my son's pre-k soccer game when one kid spotted my drone and started yelling at all the other kids about it. Luckily, the guy running the games had asked me to, AND I waited until the last 3 minutes of the game to fly. Anyway... the DOLLY zoom in your video looks really out of focus on you in every example. Can you confirm you are seeing that issue too? Nice review, I've watched a few. I do feel they will make the cameras interchangeable which would be awesome if the price is reasonable. I'm not quite sold on upgrading from the Mavic Air just yet.

    Nice to see a hands on review with an honest input. Question, how does the gimbal handle compared to the original MP? The original was quite flimsy and exposed. Even though this one is just as much exposed, is it now more solid? Also has the gimbal clamp been improved as well? It would be cool if the Mavic 2 had the same kind of clamp that the Mavic Air uses.
