*I just spoke with DJI and they ensured that the camera records at 10 bit even in full FOV mode. It sounds like others who commented about their video stats also confirmed this. So glad to hear because that would have been a huge let down having to record at 55 degree FOV all the time.*

Well that’s really good news but what is the HQ part that requires the crop then? I think the next logical step is to find out what’s actually happening in HQ mode then? I mean, it’s not cropping in for zero reason so I think a lot of us who are on the fence would love to know the actual reason. If it’s just some sort of added processing to make the 10 bit even better then great. But whatever that added processing is we would like to know from a logistical standpoint because that would be even more awesome, right?

Fly Guy If I understand correctly Full FOV scales the video down to 4k from 5k which doesn't give as sharp of an image when compared to the HQ mode which just crops a native 4k portion from the M2P oversize sensor.

Such a relief, thanks Justin! I think they used “HQ” to clarify that it is not an upscaled image, but real 4K crop of the sensor. Also don’t quite get how full FOV could be less sharp - oversampling makes image sharper usually. May be shots were a bit out of focus, have to test that out next week when my M2P arrives!

Justin Cuellar As per DJI manual page 38. HQ mode is croped which is 55° and records video in better quality(thus they name it HQ) then full FOV 75°. FOV is downsample from 5.5K to 4K. but its lame bcs in HQ sensor is 1.6X cropped and is just a little big than M2Z sensor. people are buying M2P for 1" sensor but if they want better quality in 4K then thy have to use 1.6X cropped sensor and use HQ mode...really? also they could have easily implemented smooth digital zoom like M2Z in spite of these all these modes.

Great explanation of the 2 different options. Once again Billy, thanks for your tutorials. They’re always a big help.

Fantastic footage & explanation Billy, both pro images are stunning to be honest.. look forward to more vlogs on getting the most out of these amazing drones 🤞

Thanks for this Billy. I was wondering this today on my first flight!

Hey Billy, Nice find and thanks for digging into the manual for all the Mavic 2 Pro owners. That's very interesting comparing the two Mavic's images together, thanks!

Great description, really clear. Thanks Billy!

Amazing image quality from both the zoom and the pro versions. Thank you Billy. :-)

Nice explanation! My first drone is arriving today so I can finally have drone footage in the daily vlogs!

Your cinematography and editing is getting better aswell.

Thank you for uploading the files! I really appreciate that!

Just found your site - you do great work man! Peace from the UK!

Nice video, Billy. And thanks too for the link to the manual. I'll have a week to read it now before my M2P arrives.

Amazing Video quality thanks Billy for the download it help a lot

That's excellent. I'm going to download. Great idea. Just got my pro 2 and I'm figuring it all out. I'll try both views a lot over the next few days.

Great comparison, was stoked to see that zoom footage. i am impressed. it looked better to me in this comparison then the pro. we gotta get these out with us this winter and do some snow videos when we meet up!

Thanks Billy! This really helps me out!

Very good video. Thanks mate

Duce, I meant to comment this on the other video, those train shots are epic, the way you follow and ,matched the speed, outa control!!, no actually, total control :D

Love the train shot. Very nicely done

nice i just bought mine mp2 comes tomorrow,,,, cant wait nice video bro

Let me tell you, that shot of the train with the Mavic 2 Zoom its' awsome. Thanks!

4K HQ mode looked sharper! Thanks for the comparison.

Thank you very much for sample footage !))

thanks billy =) u rock !!

Nice shots of the Ben Franklin. You must live somewhere near me. I fly over that way also. Good video!!!

Sup Billy! I'm curious even though the Pro model doesn't have optical zoom does it have the digital zoom like the original Mavic had by using the D-pad button? Thanks Bro!

I suspect you should be comparing the quality at the edges of the image. The HQ mode probably crops away optical aberrations that appear in the corners of the full view.

Hi Billy !!! what camera settings do you prefer ? sharp - con -Sat .you add any sharpness in Post Process ? Best Regards

Great video man. Where did you purchase yours? And were you using any ND filters?

Billy, Can you do a walk through with the best settings for the Mavic 2 pro? Thanks

Can you compare how big the file size is shooting at full res on the mavic 2 compared to the original mavic pro.

Good job! :)

Full FOV 4K mode for giant and wide landscapes .. and 4K HQ for everything else .. meets my needs

I bought Mavic 2 pro and I am reading the Manual just for you~

Did you buy both versions of the new Mavic 2? Do you plan to keep both?

can you change the FOV in jpeg photo mode also? thanks for your answer in advance.

Great explanation of the difference of the two. So what's you favorit drone, the inspire of the new mavic series

Billy, hi, I'm a subscriber, just got a MP2 and want to ask if you or anyone who owns a MP2 can relate to this "Issue"... When folding the back wings, do the tips (where you attach the propellors) rub/scrape slightly against the body of the drone? Mine does and I'm worried this isn't normal.

Thanks for the video ! I was wondering a long time between the pro or the zoon and I'm gonna with the zoom since it's so much more versatile

Billy i also have both but I'm experiencing some issues with the cache files to my phone. It's breaking them up into a bunch of videos and also there are some missing on the phone only! (There all there on the sd card) I realize you edit and probably don't care about this but can you tell me if your videos are being cached as one file to your phone. I'm using Android note 8. It's also doing it on the iPad mini 4 so it may just be a bug. A bug that kills my channel though. At least with these 2 drones. Lol. All my other drones are caching one big file to my phone. ie: a 20 min video in one file with audio that i can then upload to KZread. (Works on the p4p, Mavic pro, mavic air just fine so it's not my phone) thx for any help. Dji does sell the fact that you can now upload 1080 video to social media so??? I'll take 780p in one file at this point. Ugh. Please check it on yours. Just sit it on the counter and hit record. Wait 15 to 20 min and see what you get cached to your device. I would really really appreciate it! May also make a good video or a heads up to people! A lot of hobbies like myself don't do the whole edit thing and love this feature. Straight to social media that is. Thx for any help. If you need my email address to discuss please let me know. Thx

HI...Billy..but tell me honestly..is it worth it to replace phantom 4 pro?is the camera better then phantom???please let me know soon...thx.Chris

Thanks for the amazing review *Billy* and sharing the footage. I just realised that H265 footage won't open on my 2014 MacBookPro, Resolve 15 Free version. i've just learned that you need the licenced version to use this codec on Resolve 15(please correct me if im wrong). I'm just a hobbyist and make videos for my Instagram channel using free copy of Resolve. Currently, I have Spark and will be upgrading to Zoom (and not PRO) purely for the practical reason. Although i love the Pro camera. Thank You once again. Liked & Subscribed.

HI, a question about MV2Pro and 10bit DLOG-M color profile ...is this profile only avalaible in 4K mode or is it also avalaible in FullHD mode ? In post using Premiere PRO CC how is it usable for color grading ? Thanks for explanations :)

What's the field of view in degrees of the 1080p mode as a comparison?

It would be nice if you do the same experiment at night. So we can tell if there is any difference with the lowlight performance.

Do you edit in final cut? If so, how do you manage the H265 files from the mavic 2 pro in final cut? I’m having trouble with final cut not recognizing anything shot in h265, it only finds the h264 files. This is a problem because I can’t seem to find and log color profiles when I select h264 on the Mavic 2 pro. Thanks for your tips, cool vids.

I downloaded the files and cropped the HQ video to about 115% and you get equal parallax effect to that of the Mavic 2 Zoom. Quality is also indistinguishable from what I can see.

When you switch to HQ mode it actually turn into a 40mm lens or is it just the crop factor? I mean.. does it actually compress the backgroud as if it was a 40mm lens compared to a 24mm lens?

Wondering if all this time later you still feel HQ gives a better image quality?

Do you think it is pixel binning? DO u think u see Aliasing?

Billy will you be testing ND filters in a future video?

top video!

thank you so much for this! I have been reviewing Mavic 2 Pro raw footage from others and it always seemed surprisingly soft. Now, im addicted to Image quality and love to colograde some shots for hours, so i guess im not the average joe. But i was so happy to immidiately be able (even after yt-compression!) to spot the sharpnes desired of that good camera when you showed hq mode. Im quite sure all my downloaded samples are in wide. Not to mention the little bit more cinematic style it posesses.... now im excitet for this one! I Guess it skips/bins quite a few of those 5.5k Pixels in Order to save battery or bec. of CPU power...

@arpitjain4025

6 жыл бұрын

S.H. they skip pixels bcs to shoot 4K we req only 8MP and it is having 20MP. processor is not able to process all those 20MP and make 5.5K video and downgrade to 4K(which is best option) so either it has to bin the pixels or crop the sensor.

interesting what are the ff focal length equivalents on those two modes, HQ vs FOV, if anyone knows.

How many degrees of view does each Drone have . The Zoom vrs the M2Pro.

Are both modes capable of 10 bit ?

Hi Billy, it would be nice if you could do a PICTURE quality comparison of the Phantom 4 pro vs Mavic 2 pro. Since I'm a phantom 4 pro fan, but can't make up my mind on which to order... The mavic 2 pro, or mavic zoom. Many thanks, keep up the good work.

What f-stop were you shooting at? Did you use ND filters?

Got it... thanks for the quick and easy explanation. Also at 3:10 ... literally holding ~$3k of Mavics 😱

Just analyzed some of the footage on your Google Drive. Seems like you recorded the D-Log footage with a sharpening setting of -3. The Phantom 4 Pro applied blur using this setting. A workaround was to set it to -2 which still applied sharpening but at least no blur. Apart from that footage looks great and way better than anything I've seen from the Phantom 4 Pro.

Great video, thanks a lot for posting. A minor correction though: around 3:55 you imply that no other drone can achieve the parallax effect like the Mavic 2 Zoom when zoomed in all the way, but you can do exactly that with the Inspire 2 and the 50mm lens for example (and resulting footage being considerably better quality-wise). Yes it's a much more expensive drone than the Mavic 2 Zoom, but just saying.

The 2x zoom is optical right?

The latest update on the Mavic 2 pro gives a little zoom bar on screen from macro shots to infinity. It's just a tiny zoom but ok.

I like the wider FOV so much I would be willing to sacrifice image quality. Of course I could always fly the the drone further away if I was in HQ to achieve a wider FOV. And you mentioned compression, and made a good point, people sharing their video's on KZread, Vimeo, Facebook and other social media platforms will most likely never see the difference in quality between these shooting formats. Most of the advanced photo quality features of this new camera can really only be seen by the creator at home watching it on his 27inch 4k monitor. Or unless you load the video on a SSD drive and give it to someone who also has a 4k monitor, and even than there will some compression.

So if full sensor is 5.5K 20MP then in HQ mode sensor size is 4K = 12MP?

I actually love the HQ Mode it looks a lot sharper to me and makes the image look a lot better in my opinion, makes you not compromise on image quality and you basically have a zoom lens too I prefer the pro over the zoom

Thank you

Thanks billy would love to see the top speed for waypoints! 😬

Hey billy just want to say a big thanks for your tutorials they are helping me out heaps,i have only just bought my mavic 2 pro but i am more of a photographer than videographer,this video editing thing is so damn confusing and even my pc wont load the dlog video file as it doesnt have the codec or something,anyway my question to you is if you could explain in a vlog how to basic edit or even show what editing programme is suitable for the mavic 2 series as this is out of my league and i am pulling my hair out lol editing photos is easy but doing video editing is a hole new thing to me.hope you can help me out with this cause i would like to try and do a video,just dont know how and what software is conpatible with this drone.Thanks in advance hope to hear from ya soon.

Hey, Wow, r u from Philly or NJ.

From my experience the FOV 4K looks better than HQ 4K! HQ just looks to zoomed in a slight blurred

Can you do a presentation and demonstration of the NEW WayPoint w/POI Intelligent Flight Mode? It seems to have 2 nice features. (1) You can fly or use a map prior to flight to set the waypoints. (2) You can select a POI for each waypoint. This is like having the camera aim at a selected POI for any shape you develop with the waypoint pattern you design. WOW ... much more than the "circular only" POI of the past. This subtle difference seems to have been overlooked. If this is really how the NEW WayPoint Intelligent Flight mode works, it would really set the new drone apart. Then the questions is if this mode will be updated for DJI G0 4 for all drones.

Awsome, finally someone who acually got this correct :) but what if u shoot full fov and crop it in post? Is there any difference in quality then?

Yes. You will lose pixels.

HQ would be sharper on the edge of the frame since you’re cropping in the sensor and only using the center portion of the lens. IQ on all lenses fall off on towards the edge.
