![]() ![]() Quickshot is a set of self-piloted flying modes focused on capturing selfie type photos and videos with style. We’ll better show off the actual camera capabilities when we get there, but for now, watch how shaky the non-stabilized footage can be.Īlso of note, the DJI Mavic Pro is equipped with DJI Quickshot. How well does the gimbal work on the DJI Mavic Pro? Here is a sneak peak at our upcoming Mavic Pro vs GoPro Hero5 camera comparison. Check out the Goggles at the links below: These VR goggles are proving a powerful flight tool and excellent way to consume your recorded flights. Better than this, however, is the possible Full HD stream and view from the sky using the new DJI Goggles. That’s a 720p stream to your connected mobile device to see what your drone sees. One of the key uses of the camera on the DJI Mavic Pro is as an FPV camera for your sortie. Out of your control is a slight yaw, again managed by the drone itself to keep the camera pointed ‘straight’ and used to ease video movement when the drone turns.įinally, instead of using software to rotate your capture between landscape and portrait, the camera actually spins itself a full 90 degrees, ensuring the best use of the sensor. ![]() You have control of this pitch, to a certain extent, use the left wheel on the controller to tilt all the way down, but only up to level, the remaining 30 degrees are reserved to maintain forward facing video capture when the drone is tilted in flight. The gimbal articulates a full -90 degrees down, to shoot straight at the ground, and 30 degrees up. The whole assembly suspends with shock absorption for ultra smooth video in flight. Let’s lay it all out for you.įHD - 24/25/30/48/50/60/96fps (1920x1080)Ĭlass 10 and/or UHS-1 minimum, UHS-3 recommended for 4K videoįPV video streaming 720p by default, 1080p optionalĬamera sensor capabilities aside, the camera itself is a little metal cylinder attached to a highly capable 3-axis motorized gimbal. Truth is, the camera spec sheet is almost as long as a full sized camera. The lens is a 28 mm focal length with 78.8 degree field of view at f/2.2. The camera itself is a 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor with a total pixel count of 12.71 M, capturing photos at 4000 x 3000 pixels. ![]() If slow motion video is your desire, you can capture, as I say, up to 120 fps at 720p and up to 96 fps at full HD, 1920 x 1080. The camera in question this time out is a 12MP shooter that captures 4K video.ĭiving deep, the camera on the Mavic Pro handles a handful of shooting resolutions, and speeds, with video capture up to C4K (4096 x 2160) at 24 fps (frames per second,) down to 720p capture, but that 1280 x 720 resolution starts at 24 fps and can boost up to 120 fps. With a starting price of about $1000, the DJI Mavic Pro is not exactly a toy, rather, it is a serious flying package for consumer level fliers that want to put a camera in the sky. The Mavic Pro Platinum is a pretty exciting new drone, but it’s the same camera as the original Mavic Pro, so this camera review is still valid. The new flight controllers, with the new propellers, make for more efficient flight, which makes for more stable image capture and improved battery life to capture more footage. It’s not a big thing as far as the camera goes specifically, but the newly announced DJI Mavic Pro Platinum makes some improvements to one of our favorite folding drones. Update: DJI Mavic Pro Platinum now available Stay tuned for plenty more coverage of the new DJI Mavic Air. They serve different needs, but there is enough overlap in their capabilities you should consider carefully before buying one or the other. The DJI Mavic Air is also a little less expensive than the Mavic Pro. We’re still working on our full comparison of these two drones, but I can give you a quick Mavic Air camera sample here, to get you started. The new drone uses the same size of camera sensor, but increases the bitrate from 60Mbps on the Mavic Pro to 100Mbps on the Mavic Air. The newly announced DJI Mavic Air combines the best that the DJI Spark and this DJI Mavic Pro have to offer. Stay tuned for more coverage of the new DJI Mavic 2 Zoom and DJI Mavic 2 Pro! Here is one unedited shot (but compressed to 1080p) from the DJI Mavic 2 Pro from the launch event in New York, enjoy: It’s still a great drone, tons of fun to fly, but as far as the camera goes, the Mavic 2 Zoom and definitely the Mavic 2 Pro are far superior. Now that we have the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom in hand, and the DJI Mavic 2 Pro arriving soon, it’s time to start retiring the original Mavic Pro. Final update: This will be the last time we bring forward this review.
