Being the proud owner of a mavic 2 pro,i read a lot about it on youtube and other places.Seems there are some people who are saying the drone is not much better then the the mavic 1 From my experience,i have found this drone to be a very worthy successor to the mp 1.what do you guys think ?:neutral_face:

Some say its Hasselblad only by name. They only designed the colour profile.

That aside, I think itā€™s a great upgrade. Take away the Hasselblad name and you still have the same 1" sensor in Sony rx100.

Filming trees and foliage I donā€™t get mush or watercolour like I did on MP (Not that it was bad).
Dynamic range is way way better than MP.
H.265 really is a better codec although Iā€™m still trying to work out how to process it.

Itā€™s better in lower light which is ideal up here.

Hyperlapse mode is Awesome!

Itā€™s rock solid in wind. Much faster in RTH with OA on.

Legs and gimbal feel more sturdy.

I really like it.

MP is still a very capable drone but M2P is better in most ways.

Have to agree,i can now say i definitely donā€™t regret my purchase!Was not sure,but having flown my bird for a while really getting confident and learning to trust her,lost signal the the other day,had the dreaded ā€œAircraft disconnectedā€ message on dji go,did panic,but sure enough,she came right back to me!:open_mouth::+1:

I meant more on dull cloudy days where I would normally get a lot of artefacts and noise in shadows.

But some night shots are definately due! :wink:

Iā€™ve only had a quick up and down at night to test out the landing light.

Flew the MP at night quite a lot and was perfectly fine. Only thing Iā€™d say is make sure you know the area you are flying in and give yourself more space than usual.

I never owned the MP but Iā€™m sure that some reviews people make are biased by either not owning a Mavic or expectations set to high, Iā€™ve only managed to take some basic shots and the pictures look great in quality. And all the photos, and footage Iā€™ve seen online looks great.

As far as I know for PfCO holders you need a special permission to fly commercially at night.

For the hobbyist I donā€™t think there is any restrictions.

Hopefully someone else can confirm this.
