Hello everyone! This video took me around 2 weeks to finish, hope it was worth it and you'll learn something! I actually started gathering test shots as soon as the Mavic 2 Pro came out, but I never got around finishing the video. Hope you enjoy! :)
Thank you for explanation and examples to back it up. I'm amateur and just fly my drone casually but learning bit by bit on how to make better videos is fun.
@@filipradulovic337 All the same bro! :D Nice, it'll be completely worth it, smash sub for other beginnedr to advanced Mavic 2 Pro tutorials! Protip: don't use smart tracking features at night, sensors are off and you'll crash into a tree, take it from my experience :D
Where did you get the numbers for the sensor? I couldn't find any source for the true maximum resolution the sensor could provide, only for the maximum the Mavic 2 Pro will shoot photos in (5472x3648). By the way, the 1" diagonal line is just wrong. 1" is a reference to old tube cameras, where a 1" tube would yield a similar amount of light input. This 1" sensor measures 8.8x13.2 mm, which means the diagonal is almost a centimeter short of one inch.
Excellent explanation, brings the matter straight to the point. I wonder why so few other reviewers noticed how blurry the Mavic 2 Pro videos at wide angle (full FOV) mode are. Some reviewers compared footage from Mavic 2 Pro with footage from Phantom 4 Pro and just ignored how much less detail there is. Even the Mavic 2 Zoom seems to be considerably sharper. So at the end of the day, the Mavic 2 Pro makes only sense for photography, for videography its better to take the Mavic 2 Zoom.
Haven’t tested the Zoom so I can’t say for sure, but I like the look of HQ and I always shoot HQ. And the Pro also has 10-bit footage, so I wouldn’t say it’s useless for videography. It’s just that they probably wanted to make the sensor as big as possible so they had to compensate here and there. Thanks for watching! :D
hi. is there a chance on m2p to programme some knob on the controller to have like kind of zoom which clicks between fov and crop mode, while recording, without any interruptions, changing video profiles etc? have to dive deeper into this once, but didn't do it so far.. and other question: how do you cope with focusing in video on m2p? i found this part little bit tricky, especially with open apertures. do you use some pre-set focus and leave it there?
Hi! There’s no feature for zooming unfortunately. The way I focus is, I always use the autofocus to roughly focus on where I’m filming, and then switch to manual focus. I almost never use Continuous focus. You can also turn on Focus Peaking in the settings! :)
Ciao! I don’t understand Italian that much, but I understand you’re thanking me for the information in the video! So what I can say is: Prego amico! :D
It doesn’t matter which f/stop and focusing technique I’ve used if I’ve used the same settings and techniques for both HQ and Full FOV shots. What matters are the differences in the picture quality, all the examples were shot at a constant f/stop and with AF focused at that is digitally zoomed in! :)
@@Karlo_m There is no gaurantee AF has hit perfect focus. Only way to create a fair test is too keep everything constant via manual settings. F-stop should have been stated for proof of this.
I’ve used AF on the beginning of each shot in one mode, then turned to MF and recorded the shot in the first mode, then switched to the other mode without touching the focus and recorded a clip in the other mode. Nevertheless I provided a lot of examples and even if the focus isn’t spot on in some of the shots, the difference between shots is very visible! :)
You can contact DJI support and send them your flight log, they should send you a new one! You can also try posting on the DJI forum. Best of luck man, I hope you get your drone back!
Yes, that’s true but I mainly wanted to focus on the sensor aspect of things. I have a video on how to properly undistort the image in Premiere and Resolve! :)
I’m sorry if it bothers you that much. I don’t upload in UHD, but I’m working daily with 4K media. If my points are irrelevant simply because the video isn’t UHD, I guess you should look elsewhere :)

I appreciate it!
You're welcome! :)
Great video. Thank you!
Extremely helpful video! I've been looking around for someone to do this comparison. I just got my Mavic 2 Pro, excited to shoot in HQ!
Great explaining video. What is that beat/instrumental on here?I heard it before
Thank you! The song is from musicbed.com, all the music from my videos is licensed through that website. I don’t remember the exact song, sorry!
Thank you for explanation and examples to back it up.

You’re welcome! Make sure to check out my Mavic 2 tutorial playlist on my channel for various other videos!
Great video! Very to the point, I appreciated that very much, and your samples were very clear. Thank you!
Thanks for your comment! Glad you’ve enjoyed! :)
Holy crap dude. Great video|
Thank you!
Thanks for the video bro!
Everything we need to know.
Fellow Croat I see? :D Glad you like it!
@@Karlo_m Montenegrin, not Croat :D
Yeah, exactly what I needed, since I'm waiting for my drone to arrive in package any day soon! (Mavic 2 Pro)

@@Karlo_m Great! Thank you for advice :D
Subbed!
Well done! thank you for your valuable explanation!
You’re very welcome!
great explanation! but when you shoot in lowlight you'll benefit from full fov since the sensor noise gets less due to the downsampling.
That’s true!
Thanks!

Hi! Great vid! What about fov's comparing 4k to fhd?
Excellent explanation - thx!
Thank you! :)
now I understand why the HQ got more noise than FOV, thanks mate!
No problem! But I’d take noise over unsharp image any day! :D

You failed to state what f-stop and focusing technique you used for the test. Both of which obviously play a key role in perceptible sharpness also!
It doesn’t matter which f/stop and focusing technique I’ve used if I’ve used the same settings and techniques for both HQ and Full FOV shots. What matters are the differences in the picture quality, all the examples were shot at a constant f/stop and with AF focused at that is digitally zoomed in! :)

Not really 5.5k downsampling. The FOV quality is the same as 2.7k mode.
Just got my mavic pro 2 a few days ago and the drone got lost during flight. Feelsbadman.

You forgot to mention that Full FOV mode has a terrible distortion that looks like GoPro footage. It’s very noticeable when you shoot horizon line
Yes, that’s true but I mainly wanted to focus on the sensor aspect of things. I have a video on how to properly undistort the image in Premiere and Resolve! :)
👍👌
Thanks!
Good test - thanks. IMHO, the HQ mode looks OK, not great, but the FOV looks shit.
I can't see any difference!
Talking about 4k quality in an HD video. What!?
I’m sorry if it bothers you that much. I don’t upload in UHD, but I’m working daily with 4K media. If my points are irrelevant simply because the video isn’t UHD, I guess you should look elsewhere :)
At night, full fov would be better. Less noise
Exactly! :D
