  1. Don't know much of drones and theis specks, but many times you see a video, it is crispy sharp, when drone is static, but then as is moves, all goes blurry. So, is it the fp:s, or is it the data/s which is the one on this? There is no use for 6K etc if video is blurry. Still, I'm more on photos so the cheap drone with good stills is for me…now I have one with awful on both.

  2. Nice comparison Neil. Just bought my first drone MA2, very impressed. I have tried the 48mp but prefer the other modes and process the raw. Video is excellent for such a small package. I shoot a lot of photography coming from a 4/3rd Olympus to a Nikon FF sensor made a big difference so yes sensor size matters it seems. I do wonder how the Hasleblad camera compares to the MA2 but there will be another upgrade very soon I'm sure so will wait and see what the future holds. For now I'm a happy snapper 🙂

  3. Great comparison! I use the Mavic Mini and the Mavic Air 2. I don't have a lot of experience with drones, but from my experience so far the MA2 produces great video quality if you use it correctly.

  4. Many thanks Neil, new to the drone world and I have bought the Mavic Air 2 just need to get some experience flying it before getting creative.
    When you're planning your shots do you create a quick story-board? Would be nice to see the planning of a shoot from location permissions to apps used like weather, NATS and apps you like to use before taking off.
