    4:42 I see you are shooting in an f/2.8 aperture, so when you autofocus towards the center the edges tend to be blurred because your aperture is so high. It is normally a good idea to have a higher f stop for landscape such as f/11 or f/8 aperture, you will see that the blurriness will disappear :)

    Great presentation. I've been holding out for a while looking at the various companies making drones for recreational and commercial use. The quality of the "recreational drones" are catching up with the commercial use/Gvnt. ones quite rapidly. 4K HD is great but add thermal NV to it and now you're in a whole other realm.
    I really miss living in Maui, and when I lived up country where you are, I was on five acres with 15 banana palms and five varieties. There were guavas, papayas, mangos and avo's. I was so healthy there. Paradise.

  • @IceboxVideoProductions
    @IceboxVideoProductions 6 років тому +30

    Great informative demo!, The issues you mentioned regarding the picture quality could be down to shooting F2.8 meaning wide open. With any lens you will see softening on the outer edges at this widest Fstop, when there is good light its best to avoid this when you have time try some tests at F4 / F5.6 and the image should be better at this 'sweet spot' and absent from edge blur. Try one at F16 and it will look awful lacking contrast and sharpness making it look like SD!

    • @bassiclogic
      @bassiclogic 6 років тому +4

      Exactly! If He had that aperture set higher to maybe f-8 or f-11 he would have seen a magnificent difference! At that distance f-2.8 is shit! That Hasselblad is one of the best camera manufactures in the world and I doubt that lens has a fault! Besides this review every other review I have seen says this lens is far better than any of the others! My money is on the Mavic 2 Pro and Hasselblad lens! If you don't understand lens and their features of aperture and shutter speed you are lost on any lens!

    • @JohnS916
      @JohnS916 5 років тому +1

      I didn't realize he was shooting at f/2.8, that is an f stop for very low light conditions, not flying into the sun. For example, taking photos of the Milky Way at f/2.8 is appropriate.

    • @nickwilliamson3083
      @nickwilliamson3083 4 роки тому

      That, and it looks like he was shooting in standard h.264. You can’t access the 10-bit color and better compression without shooting in h.265. This also allows you to shoot in the log profile which has much better dynamic range. I think shooting auto-settings on any camera will produce disappointing footage

Another tester (Captain Drone) compared the camera to the Evo -- the evo actually looked more natural in every shot except the ones at sunset.

My mini does that but if your in an area that doesn't have electric lines and such or many obstacles the mini holds the video better and doesn't go off from signal loss. If you loose signal to video just try going up higher or a little lower and video will come back. On a hill with no obstacles and power lines around you your drone will do better. Cloudy or overcast days will make it loose signal too.

Cause the pro 2 has better video cause of the 1" screen. The pro zoom has to zoom in to see as well as the pro 2 I just get a little closer with the pro 2 to great video. I think the zoom working will shorten your battery life faster also. Just my thought about it but investigate videos on both and you'll know yourself.

    I would say you are close to optimal positioned for a range test. Definitely very good.
    I got an Mavic air last year, and I am definitely satisfied with the 4k footage. But it's suseptable to radio interference in the wifi band witch makes range very hard to predict depending on city or country flight. But RTH always works excellent so you get signal back in seconds. When the weather is better here I might buy a Mavic pro2. Thanx for the review.
    From what I can see the video colors lacks a bit of saturation and crispness.

The M2P camera settings must be set in Manuel to get the awesome clips others are getting on UA-cam. You will see a huge difference setting it up correct in Manuel.

They will see where it will end up and they will pick it up. Then I will go meet them. I hope I can convince these two old gals to do it. They aren't into drones and stuff. Then I will buy a good one like yours. Thank you for the nice video!

I mean you place the drone with a friend a mile away from where you are standing. the drone is at a lunch location, and you try and launch it from far away fresh battery 1st start and fly it back to you? Can that be done ??? And why not?

    I have been comparing with autel evo range test, and the FHD fpv that ocusync provides is way better. Not so easy to appreciate it in the smartphone, but in the TV the difference is evident. The 4k video looks gorgeous to my eyes. It has less digital sharpening by default compared to many other drones, but it still looks great. However to extract the best from this camera dlog color profile is probably the best option.

    @clifftotten7609 6 років тому +1

    You nailed it on the resolution. Unfortunately, it does HEAVY line skip on the FOV readout. It does NOT do what the Phantome 4 Pro does, which is full pixel readout and 5k to 4k downscaling. So, it's NOT reading the entire sensor in 16x9. Just as bad, again,...it doe NOT read the entire sensor in HQ either which is just a portion of the sensor, a center crop. In both modes, DJI is not giving us the "true" 1inch-type sensor surface area. (only in photos) I have tested this with resolution charts.

  • @BrandonCHull

    Amazing video and narration, thank you! It is great to see the more strenuous testing of the mavic 2 pro. I am new to all things drone, only been at it for maybe 3 weeks and DJI spark is my current trainingwheels but once I’m comfortable enough want to get a top of the line drone.
    Kind of a silly musing but I’m super curious how far it could do if battery life were not a concern. Not sure if anyone has yet but it would be pretty cool to see it’s absolute maximum flight distance before experiencing screen glitching. Need to set up a battery relay lol Just have someone waiting 2 miles out or so with a fresh battery. Land at them, pop in new battery, and keep going.
    No real reason or motive, just my curiosity :p

      It will go past 4 miles and keep signal good in areas that don't have powerlines and factorys and electric lines or towns. Out of town on a hill or high place without obstructions in an open area will give the best signal strength. I live in town so I can't fly far without losing signal to video but the drone doesn't loose signal just the camera does.

  • @wreckinball11

    I know you review lots of RC's from land, sea, and air, but a lot of the issues you have can be fixed by reading the manual. The LED lights have 3 settings, off-on-auto, with onscreen notifications. Of course as I did initially you were looking up and could not see the OSD. The fast RTH landing was probably because when you turned off OA the landing protection was also off. Also when you raised the shutter speed you neglected to try to reduce the aperture size which is probably one of the best selling points for the Pro over zoom. I love your videos and have watched most of them without even the desire to purchase the reviewed tech. Keep up the good work.

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  6 років тому

      Yes, there are so many new and changing functions on these I do miss some on occasion. This cam in auto is not amazing and I hope it can be updated to be.

    Taking into account the Evo does work with Android, the ability to fly anywhere because their is no NFZ, a flight screen on the controller, 60FPS, $450 less and you don't have to deal with DJIs notorious poor customer service, I think I'm sold on the Evo. I wish Autel would put out their 1" sensor so we could compare apples to apples. As always fantastic range test review. No one does a better job than you Dustin.

      The zoom version has only the zoom feature to show, in everything else regarding the camera is inferior to the EVO as it cannot do 4K@60fps. We are living in 2018, 4K@60fps is ESSENTIAL in video production (4K monitors and displays are everywhere and are pretty cheap).

      @@muzikmon2267 What's really confusing is the Evo tends to show props on the top left and rarely on the top right. Logic says that the position of the Evo camera must not be dead centered under the body. Whether it was a patent issue or not, there is no reason to have any props in the shot. It's 2018. Seems that the Autel was rushed to market. I might pick one up but only after they fix their horizon tilt and the jerky video when using Orbit mode. It's all about money isn't it.

    Okay! I have a really newbie/stupid question!
    I am what we call an interstate (you call it Over The Road) truck driver in Outback Australia! I see just such spectacular (and what to others is rarely seen) scenery each and every day, so I am thinking of getting something like a Mavic Pro thingamagig......... BUT ...... I am time poor and not altogether interested and spending a lot of time becoming some top gun drone pilot, nor some cinematographic guru ..... I just wanna take happy snaps and short video clips to share the beauty I am presented each and every day - when time permits! :)
    Here's the dumb question. I'm bloody hopeless at video games and all that crap. I just wanna get something that will (mostly) take off and land (mostly) by itself, do a few orbits, or just elevate to capture something that I see, or that my mind's eye knows will be there at elevation, and that's NOT gonna take me a helluver long time to build up basic proficiency in order to just that!
    The cost isn't such a concern as the TIME cost....... so ...... is a drongo like me gonna be able to do what I wanna ..... on balance of probability?

      Mavic 2 Pro will great for land scaping viewing and it will not let you down like some of the knock off drones there tryn to sell. I think Mavic air 2 is a knock off they're tryn to get rid. Pro 2 is your best bet friend but review videos on these drones like I did before you decide. I lost many drones and was disappointed about drones not doing what they said they do. I studied a lot about them and its true that you get what you pay for and Mavic air 2 for 800 dollars and Mavic 2 pro 1500 dollars and I'm very sure the air 2 will not do what the pro 2 will do. Air 2 doesn't have obstacle avoidance on return to home that's not good. Pro 2 has obstacle avoidance all around top and bottom. Air 2 only has downward sensers no side senders. The pro 2 has avoidance on RTH both doesn't have avoidance if your in sport mode. A friend lost his drone cause on return to home he was in sport mode and lost his drone and he didn't understand why so I told him he should have read his guide and he would have known to take his drone out of sport mode on return to home. It will avoid all obstacles on RTH if not in sport mode so remember this tip and front loose your drone friend. Helpful tips from a guy that learned the hard way and lost a lot of drones. Reading the guide is very smart and you'll keep your drone and have more fun.
