I finally unboxed and updated my mavic 2 pro just now Andy lol.. i have been lazy! Thanks for the insights.
Best genuine review I've found, from a real photographer, unlike the many young guys setting up "master classes" claiming to be pro's. They fill their videos with few facts and much nonsense, Andy has done a spectacular job with his opinions and experience which surpasses many wanna be presenters. Well done and thank you. Subscribed!
Thanks so much for watching, really glad you enjoyed the video
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us. Love your channel, keep up the great work.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate the comment
This is the best breakdown of the drone i've found on here. well done!
Thanks so much, glad you found it useful
just bought mavic2 pro last month n looking your video helps big time.......thank u mate.
Thanks for taking the time to post the video top quality content as always👍
Thanks, glad you liked it.
The absolute best review & helpful setting info. Thanks.
Thanks so much
Thank you thank you thank you I love your tutorial! Very helpful. After hearing you I will go ahead and order the Mavic two. I’ve been tentative to upgrade since the negative comments about the sensor. But you make perfect sense. Thanks again
Thanks for the comment John, I'm glad you found the video useful. I find negative comments about the Mavic 2 sensor a little surprising to be honest. I think sometimes people seem to expect every product to be amazing at everything for everyone, and see any element that doesn't compare favourably with another product as a failing. For me the reality is that everything is a compromise in some way. A drone like the Inspire or Matrix will give you better image quality but the compromise is in how portable it is. At the other end you've got a tiny drone like the Spark or the Air which are incredibly portable but you compromise on image quality, so the question you need to ask yourself is what areas you're willing to compromise in and how much. The Mavic 2 Pro isn't supposed to replace the P4P, it's supposed to replace the previous Mavic Pro, and in that respect it's a huge improvement.
The sensor is excellent. Shooting in D-LogM I've been amazed at the detail, dynamic range, and lack of noise in the image. The P4P might be slightly better, but would be less useful for me as I'd usually leave it at home due to it's size and how problematic it would be to carry it along with my camera gear, so in that respect the better image quality is irrelevant...what's the point in having something with better image quality if you don't carry it with you?
So have fun with the Mavic 2, I highly doubt you'll be disappointed with it.
Hands down best video you can find that gives you a very comprehensive understanding of the settings yet very easy to understand. Thank you Andy
Thankyou, glad you found it useful
Great job presenting this information, straightforward, nononsense. Really enjoyed it!
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked the video
Absolutely amazing info. Thanks.

Thank you for that excellent video Andy
Thanks so much
This is a fantastic review! Thank you sir
Thanks for watching
thanks for the helpful video
WOW, thank you for your very useful insight. Practical no nonsense advice.
Thanks for watching :-)
Andy, amazingly good video. Being able to get such quality content on a topic that I am interested in, for free, is just amazing. Thank you for your work!!!
Thanks for the comment Ola, really glad you liked the video
Really awesome footage mate! Happy to see someone finally mentioning the original Mavic's over-sharpening and moiré issues. That was the main reason I went for the Air - waiting for my XT-3 now!
Thanks for the comment Titouan, glad you liked the footage. I've had the X-T3 for a few weeks now and it's really good.
Wonderful!!!. Nice and clear, fantastic photos and videos.
Thanks so much for the comment, glad you found it useful
Thanks, Andy. An interesting and informative video with some impressive footage.
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked the video.
Thanks Andy for your useful review :)
Thankyou
Thanks for this amazing video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much Luis, glad you enjoyed the video
Great Video Andy- thanks for the great tips and advice on the photography side of the drone. So often its easy to just focus on the MP2 as a video based device. Sending some sub love from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
Another very useful video Andy. Thank you. I’ve just got the same drone so any more tips and tricks you discover would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Lyndon, glad you liked it
Thanks for this Andy, just got mine today so looking forward to giving it a try, your video was very helpful especially a few of the settings.
Thanks for the comment Steve, enjoy the Magic...it's an amazing thing.
Andy Mumford Great video Andy! I was wondering if you used a corrective lut to correct your dlog m footage? If so which one? Also I can’t find the Panorama photo option in my DJI Go app anymore. What happened where is it?
Thank you for the great info.
Thanks, glad you liked the video
Great work and video! But my eyes bled when I saw the drone and controller in the sand. Thanks for the tips.
Mine too, eyebrows reached for my hairline
Really Helpful Andy - I am a pro landscape photographer but new to the drone (Mavic 2 Pro ) world so really appreciate your input
Thanks for the comment Steve, glad you found the video useful
I just bought this drone...very cool to see the various features used.
Yup, it's a great drone
Perfect! Thank you!
Thanks so much
That's quite a gift you have ! It's nice to have someone who can deliver useful content while sitting still and not liking the sound of their own voice, thank you! subscribed and I will be back!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video
Great video for someone who is debating pressing the buy now button for a pro 2
Great video.
Thanks so much for the comment
Thank you very much sir, very good tutorial
Thanks for the comment, glad you found it useful
Thank you, Andy, for such clear and precise instructions on the settings for best video footage with this drone! Some guys recommend Setting the custom style at: +1/-2/-2. But i am going to try your settings. Thanks again!
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked the video
man... I love the very beginning!
Thanks
Hey Andy, thanks for a great vid.
Getting into the why not just the how. I've been a camera nut for decades, but the two things about my new found love of drones (owned a M2P for three weeks now) are the vantage point advantage, and I've discovered video vs just stills. My Nikon gear feels lonely. Still the drone can't compete with my 80-400 or 8-18.
I couldn't find the link to the guy you mentioned who talks to the barrel distortion...
Thanks again for the fantastic work.
Doug
Wow. You are an amazing filmmaker and photographer. I love your color grading skills and drone pilot skills and all of your camera talents. Just found your channel. Very well done video. I subscribed, hope to see more great videos like this coming!
Thanks so much for the sub Hank, glad you enjoyed the video
Incredible piece of technology
It certainly is
Great advice. Still relevant even today. Still a great UAV.
Indeed, there's not much about the M2P which doesn't stand up today
amazing to see Guincho/Sintra/Portugal on your footage!!
Haha, thanks. I live in Lisbon, so I shoot here a lot
Top flight stuff here Andy! I'm only a serious armature, not a pro, but this sure looks good to me. Very valuable info, as well as enjoyable to watch. I love your videos, and your photography is knocked out, really striking. Marc T.
Thanks so much Marc, glad you enjoyed it
Bellissimo video 🔝
Grazie
Brilliant video, Andy! A great prospective to analyze this absolutely stunning drone. Too much people don't understand that the perfection doesn't exist. What means "the perfect drone"? It makes more sense to think about the most appropriate tool for the purpose. My Gosh, humans! Oh, I almost forgot, I just got the Mavic 2 Pro :) Have a nice one mate!
Thanks man, glad you liked it. And glad you've got your Mavic 2 Pro. I was using it again the other night to shoot some clips for this video and I'm still blown away by how good the image quality is...it's really really nice, you're going to love it :-)
Awesome review. Thank you.
As an fyi if your'e shooting in RAW it doesn't matter what white balance you choose.
Thanks, glad you liked it. When I said to sett white balance manually I was referring to video settings because if you leave it on Auto it can change during the clip. For example if the sun passes behind a cloud Auto white balance will try to compensate you can end up with colour shifts in the same clip that are hard to change when editing the video.
Once again a great review. Now waiting for your review/opinion on T3, with some great footage. :-)
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked the video. I should have the X-T3 review out sometime next month.
Hi Andy, thanks for the womderful videos. I recently bought a Mavic 2 Pro and I'm finding that the colours in my still images are a bit off! The greens and yellows look a bit on the neon side. What settings do you use for still images? Any tips? Was thinking I could maybe create a colour profile for the camera using a Colour Checker Passport? Cheers Keith
Wonderful video, VERY helpful with the camera settings, especially for those of us just getting our feet wet with this new piece of equipment.
But I have to say, the sand going into the camera bag will be keeping me up at night. :D
Thanks so much, really glad you found it useful. As for the sand in the bag, I made this video more than 2 years ago and since then the drone (and bag) have been abused plenty with snow, ice, volcanic dust...and more sand...and the drone is still working just fine
@@AndyMumford Glad to hear it! Yeah, I do believe they're making gear with much better tolerance to debris these days because they know how it will be used. I guess the sand phobia has stuck with me. I grew up doing wildlife, landscapes, and some fashion photography with SLRs that could be just devastated by a few grains of sand. Bear attack - no problem. But a little sand... yikes!
Excellent Review, I own the Phantom 4 Pro and mostly use it for stills, but size is a problem. I m interested in this drone. Thanks for sharing your point of view.
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it.
portability is key
A really helpful and well presented video Andy. Full of important settings to get things looking good from the start. Thank you for posting. Have you done a colour grading video at all? I use FCPX, or maybe you could recommend someone perhaps? Looking forward to more Mavic 2 pro vids from you.....
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked the video. I haven't actually done a video on colour grading - I still think of myself as learning with video. I use Premiere and basically just grade the footage till I get it how I like it using the whites/blacks/shadows/highlights, saturation and colour temp/tint. I rarely touch any of the other colour controls.
Hi Andy
Really enjoyed watching this video. I was particularly impressed with the carry back bag you used to carry everything including you camera equipment.
I would really appreciate knowing where you got that from. Thanks Chris
It's a Deuter Freerider Pro 30. I talk about it in my video on gear here th-cam.com/video/LtQdBsVw8pU/w-d-xo.html
Very helpful, I winced a little at 16:43 thinking of sand in the rear motors!
Thanks, glad it was helpful. As for the sand...I tend to be shooting a lot in quite harsh conditions and my stuff gets battered. This video is almost two years old now, and since then the drones been landed on more sandy beaches, dusty volcanic deserts, snow and mud, and it's still going strong. It's a tougher drone than you think
@@AndyMumford That's very good to know thanks.
Great info. Thanks! One thing kind of surprised me was seeing your Mavic2 in the sand. Won't ever see me doing that.
Hi Michael, thanks for the comment and glad you liked the video. With the drone in the sand, it was something I did just for the video because I had to use my hands to operate the camera. Rest assured thought it was only there for a couple of seconds and all the sand was blown off when I got home. I've been out shooting this coast for over 15 years so I'm used to dealing with sand on gear.
To be honest though I used the first Mavic in some pretty extreme situations - dusty windy places in Iceland, snow in Norway, and often it's difficult to give gear the proper "love" so it has to be able to deal with a bit of dirt and sand. Most stuff actually can quite well, as long as you don't overdo it and make sure to clean it properly with a blower brush later on.
A fantastic video - congratulations.
Can you tell us which backpack you are using for all your photo gear?
It appears to be a Deuter, but which model?
Many thanks.
It's a Deuter Freerider Pro 30, with an F Stop Small Pro ICU as the insert. I'll have a video on it in a couple of weeks
Andy - Wonderful, I will keep an eye out for your video on this subject. Keep them coming!
Very awesome sir,
Does the cruise control feature already exist in the DJI Mavic 2 PRO?
thx
Glad you enjoyed the review and found it useful I can't answer your questions I sold my Mavic 2 Pro over a year ago when I moved to the Air 2S
Andy, great video and really useful settings information. I'm curious how you perform focus on the Mavic 2, both for video and for stills. Would you care to share?
It’s generally touch to focus, As its shooting so wide and with a drone its rare that anything is close to the lens, touch focus will give you front to back sharpness
Awesome Review! Thanks a lot! Do you use ND Filters or ND-Polarizer Filters?
I did on my old Mavic, but I haven't got around to getting any for the Mavic 2. I should get some actually
Many thanks for your superb video and settings Andy. As a fellow photog, I valued your suggestions and settings.
I've had my Mavic Pro 2 for just over a year, and one of the things that drove me crazy, was the gimbal tilts rough movement. Tried your settings (15:25 in) and found they are purrrfect! Haven't tried the Colour setting you suggest yet - have to learn how to use Final Cut Pro to get the most of this setting.
One small suggestion for future vids - try slowing down a touch - found you talked quite fast at the beginning, but at the end you had slowed down to a better pace.
Cheers from Montréal.
Thanks for watching Frederic, glad you found it useful
Andy, love your videos and photography. You had mentioned links for free post production luts for horizon correction. Would like those very much.
Hi Weaver, thanks for the comment, glad you like the videos. Did I mention links for free PP LUTS? I don't actually know how to make LUTS and my grading is very basic (increasing contrast with whites, blacks, shadows and highlights, then a little saturation).
Andy,thanks for the reply. Actually, just looking for correction of the wide angle lens distortion of the horizon on the Mavic Pro 2.
Hi, theres no link in the description for the distortion correction?
Hi, I took my g9 with me last year when climbing via ferratas in the Dolomites. Got some great shots. We’re going back this year hoping to do some hut to hut journeys. Thankyou for putting your vid up. You’ve captured some really impressive views with the pro 2. Any advice for a complete novice taking a drone into the Dolomites with em?
Thanks for the comment Simon, I'd love to have a go at the via ferratas, they must be amazing. There's no specific info about using a drone in the Dolomites, just to be aware of how much the wind changes around the peaks and just small changes of altitude can bring the drone into wind conditions that are very different. Having said that, the Mavic deals with wind really well.
skip to 11:15 for settings
Thanks but most of us are also interested in the review.
@@bobcloughjr maybe, but a lot of us have seen plenty of reviews.
Thanks so much.
Hallo,thanks for your video..haw you use the focus on mavic 2 pro ..tx
I usually just tip on infinity or a very distant point in the image.
Top drawer video Andy.
You also have an enviable lack of need to draw breath while talking!
Excellent video mate thank you. However, I almost spat my tea out when I saw your drone go from a sandy beach into your camera bag! 😨
Yeah, a couple of people have mentioned that, but in my experience most stuff is built to survive a bit of dry sand. I’ve been photographing on the coast for almost 15 years and using drones for about 3 and never had sand cause a problem. This video was made a year ago and the drone is still functioning like new....this morning I launched it from wet grass in the Dolomites. I don’t baby stuff and I’ve never had a single equipment failure so it’s really no big deal. Glad you liked the video, and thanks for the comment. All the best
Great video Andy. Side note, curious to what bag you’re using at the end of the video? It looks like a Deuter with a rear entry panel....
Hi, glad you liked the video. The bag is a Deuter...it's a Freerider Pro 30 with an F-stop Small Pro ICU inside. There are links to them both in the description. Bags designed for skiing and snowboarding etc often seem to have rear access so you can drop them in the snow. The Osprey Kamber is the same. I have quite a long body and most camera bags I've found aren't all that comfortable...they seem to be designed for people with shorter bodies.
Hello! How big memiry can I use in this DJI Mavic 2Pro
Enjoyed that Andy thanks. In your excellent packing for a trip video you recommend a Deuter ACT Trail 24 backpack. But here you recommend the Deuter Freerider Pro 30. Any reason for the change to the larger bag? I've very similar gear - Mavic 2 Pro plus Fuji X-T3 and lenses. I've already made mistakes ordering wrong bags and hoping not to make another one. Thanks.
Hi, glad you enjoyed the video. I switched bags because the Mavic 2 Pro with spare batteries is bigger and takes more space and I need space also for a spare jacket and gloves etc. Also, I prefer the back opening on the Freerider as it stops the back of the bag from getting dirty.
Good insight. Like you I had the AIR, I still have it for certain uses being os compact, but the Pro2 I have just moved onto - yes 2 years behind everyone else!You mentioned in the video something you had found for taking out the horizon curvature caused by barrel distortion from the lens. I haven't been able to find what you mentioned. Could you iterate it please? Or even put a link here in the comments? Many thanks.
Thanks, it's actually so long since I made this video I honestly can't remember now. Distortion can be removed in Premiere Pro quite easily. You just go to Effects > Distortion and there are various presets, or you can adjust it yourself manually.
I've actually recently switched to the Air 2S which does a much better job with distortion in camera
Fantastic video! Thanks for putting in all the legwork to make it easier for beginners like me to get started correctly! Just one thing. Isn't that sand that hitchhiked into your bag about the worst thing imaginable for your camera gear? And on that, what is the best way to clean the lens of both the camera and sensors? Thanks again!!
Hi Michael, thanks for the comment, glad you liked the video. As for the sand...I know, I know...It was something I did just for the video because I had to use my hands to operate the camera. Rest assured thought it was only there for a couple of seconds and all the sand was blown off when I got home. I've been out shooting this coast for over 15 years so I'm used to dealing with sand on gear.
So, to answer your question, for cleaning the camera and lens body I use a blower brush and a microfibre cloth. For the glass in the lens, I've found these Zeiss wipes to be absolutely brilliant www.amazon.com/Zeiss-Pre-Moistened-Lens-Cleaning-Wipes/dp/B00GL64QG6/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1543148556&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=zeiss+lens+cleaning+wipes&psc=1 Cleaning the sensor is a tricky one, and it's something I've toyed with making a video about, but it's one of those things that people get very upset about if they see someone doing it differently than them, and I don't want to recommend something and then someone have an accident. There are a number of good solutions, but for all of them you have to be careful and do it in a well lit and dust free (or as dust free as possible) environment. Of all the things I've used, I find the Eyelead gel stick www.amazon.com/Zeiss-Pre-Moistened-Lens-Cleaning-Wipes/dp/B00GL64QG6/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1543148556&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=zeiss+lens+cleaning+wipes&psc=1 Again, you have to use it really lightly and apply very little pressure.
Andy Mumford Thanks for the reply and excellent info! Subscribed!
Great video and info :) btw did I see some slightly out of focus clips? Did you use XT2 in Continuous because I have been having similar issues.
Not sure. I’m away at the moment and it’s hard to review the video, but I generally shoot the videos at home with the focus in manual.
I had no idea about the dlog preview button! Thank you so much! Great tips!
Hi Andy thanks for this well done video ! One question, my OS 10.12 computer doesn't recognize H.265 videos sadly, what you recommend ?
Hmmm, I don't know really...I guess in that case you have to go with H.264
Andy Mumford thanks ! Yeap I ll wait a bit and get a new computer soon !
thanks! amazing review and suggested settings. will keep those in mind. I just have one particular comment and take it from a Toastmaster. I would suggest you practice putting some pauses in between the points you want to deliver. ;) cheers!
Great review as you noticed a lot of similar things I’ve noticed.
I just recently sold my original Mavic Pro. Hasn’t flown it since flying the new MP2 for a few months and then when I test flew it for the buyer I was amazed at home much smoother it flew compared to the MP2. It was less jerky in regular mode and seemed to fly better in my opinion because of that. I was looking to see if there are settings to get similar results out of the MP2 without having to use tripod mode?
I'm not sure, you could try adjusting the flight control settings to dampen them down a little
Thank you Andy, at last I've found a real-world look at the 2 Pro from a proper photographer - very very useful. I'm wondering if you have time to add anything new now you have had another 6 or 7 months using it?
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the video. Honestly, no, I don't have anything to add other than that I'm still as impressed with it now as I was back then. The image quality is fantastic for such a small drone
New sub. The first TH-camr that understands what hyperlapse is really supposed to be. ("there were no clouds") So far I'm tired of those videos with cars and people with sped up motion. In my opinion it only should be shown when one wants to demonstrate the process of building something to display the progress.
Thanks for the comment. Yeah, it was for this reason that I didn't actually put any hyper lapse footage in the video...I don't really have any that can do it justice. I'll be in the mountains in January though, staying in a hut up amongst the peaks and I've got some ideas for hyperlaspes at sunrise as the light first illuminates the tops of the mountains. Thanks for the sub.
Thanks Andy, very informative and calmly explained. If your travels ever get you near our neck of the woods (North Borneo) and you need a free fixer, let me know. We have some stunning photography opportunities here - tropical islands, jungles, mountains, culture, rivers, wildlife - you name it - thanks again
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the video. Borneo has been on my list for a while, I was in Indonesia a few years ago and would love to go back. For sure if I ever get out there I'll get in touch
Quick question...do you think that the HQ mode has more or less noise than the wider
FOV mode? Thanks!
It's not something I've noticed and from what I understand about how the sensor works the noise levels should be the same in both modes
Andy Mumford Thanks for you thoughts!
Hi Andy, what a great review. I don't see the link for the barrel distortion fix from Matt? Thanks
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked the video. Here's the link for the barrel distortion fix thefilmpoets.kartra.com/page/wEn20
@@AndyMumford Thank you, that is great.
Most excellent, thanks for sharing your experiences!
Thanks for watching Mark, glad you found it useful
Love your deuter backpack. What model is it?
It's the Freerider Pro 30
Thanks for a great video Andy! From what I have researched after recently buying the M2Pro, you advice is spot on. Love the clips you presented as well. The one question I have is how do you get the exposure so good? Are you just using the histogram, or do you check the EV read-out as well, and keep that within certain tolerances? Please let me know. Bye from Canada!
Hi Paul, thanks for the comment, glad you liked the video. I always use the histogram for exposure.
@@AndyMumford with you being a photographer, that makes sense. I use it all the time for photography as well, but was curious as I hear differing opinions. Take care Andy, and thanks for the reply.
Thank you. What backpack are you using to carry it? Nice! Cheers from Canada!
In this video it's a Deuter Freerider 30l backpack with an F Stop Small Pro ICU for the camera gear
@@AndyMumford . Thanks, thats been my challenge. Finding a backpack for dirtbiking that can carry my drone and crystal sky monitor. Cheers I'll see if I can find it on their website.
Great video as always Andy. You recommend shooting in D-Log. Do you overexpose your footage when shooting in D-Log to avoid noise in the shadows? This is common when shooting in Log but I've heard mixed reports about results from D-Log. Thanks!
Hi Tom, thanks for the comment. So far I've not found a need to increase exposure when shooting in D-Log and I've not noticed any particular noise in the shadows...but I've not extensively tested whether getting more light in improves the images or not, so I can't really say
Thank you. Do you know where I can get the possibility to fix the Barrel Distotion on the Mavic pro
You can do it manually, but there's also a quick fix made by the Film Poets thefilmpoets.kartra.com/page/wEn20
Great content, thank you for it. I just have a quick question related to the microsd card you are using. I know that for images some cards are just good, but I saw that you did some movies too. Can you tell us each memory card you use and what is your video configuration? Thank you one more time.
Hi Lucio. My Micro SD cards are all Sandisc Ultra (100mb/s). The video configuration I explained in the video. 4K FullFOV, H.265, DLog M and all exposure settings at manual.
@@AndyMumford Thank you one more time. Now I have a good reason to check my drone. I have a M2P and I use a MicroSD Extreme 128Gb (100mb/s) too. On this confirmation I'm experiencing a 5 to 9 seconds of lagging on video transmission flying less than 100 meters away. This just end if I lower the configuration from 4k to 1080p 30fps or less. I just tested 3 microsd cards and the result is the same, unfortunately. Any suggestion that can help me?
Thanks very much for this video. I like not only your photographs but also your style in making tutorials. One question, since you have used the Mavic Air: I am using the Mavic Air for both still photography and videography because I am a cycling photographer. The Mavic Air and i's controller fit in my jersey pockets. You talk about noise in videos. I have been having quite a bit of noise with the Mavic Air in low lighting conditions, some of which remains even after applying Neat Video in post. Do you also recommend +1 sharpening for the Mavic Air in order to reduce noise? (I am currently shooting as flat as I can except for -1 contrast and -1 sharpening on the assumption that I have more information in both highs and lows. I have been adjusting contrast and sharpening in post. Thanks very much for a response.
Hi, thanks for the comment. The Mavic 2 Pro has a larger sensor and noise is much less of a problem, whereas the in camera noise reduction you get at 0 sharpening and below is more of a problem as it softens the image. A smaller sensor size like the Mavic Air is always going to be more sensitive to noise, but I felt the Mavic Air dealt with it relatively well. I honestly don't know about settings for it...I had it for such a short time that I never really worked out how to get the best out of it. It sounds like what you're doing makes sense though.
@@AndyMumford Thanks for your reply. What you say makes sense, too. I will experiment again with +1 sharpness and see what happens. By the way, I sure will not fly the Mavic Air more than 200 metres away from me. As you say, the signal just isn't good for much more. (MUCH better than the Spark, though). I know someone who is flying the Mavic 2 Pro up to 5 kilometres away and 500 metres in the air (very illegal anywhere in Europe, as far as I know).
@@AndyMumford I raised the sharpness to +1 on the Mavic Air, and it improved the noise reduction considerably. Your video moved me to buy the Mavic 2 Pro, even if it is too heavy and bulky for long cycling tours. I have been using the Mavic 2 Pro for several weeks now on snowshoe tours and winter hikes here in Switzerland, and am totally blown away by the difference to the Mavic Air. I haven't needed to use Neat Video since I bought it, love the range and the stability and also the ability to shoot into the sun at F11 (F16-22 would be even greater) and get a decent star burst. Wow!
I upgraded late from my Mavic Pro, so I'm late to the party for this video, but great stuff Andy and thank you for the recommendations on settings. Good grief you talk fast ;-) I can't tell that you ever took a breath :) ... Also I use squarespace and have for years. Can you tell me what your base template is? I really like yours.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. The Squarespace template is Foster, although I've made quite a few changed to the fonts and stuff. Also, instead of using regular pages I used Indexes a lot as it allows you to have a banner that spreads all across the page, and then I stack the banners.
Thanks Andy, great video! Quick question. Are you using any particular presets or LUTS for your grading?
Thanks so much. I don't use presets of LUTS for the grading
@@AndyMumford Thanks Andy, where did you learn your grading?
Clear concise and not fru fru just how I like it
Thanks
