Just flew the Mavic.

Holy. Cow.
Did you get any footage?

How does the flying ability compare to your Orange drone? IQ?
(I forgot the name...)

Didn't get any footage.

My drone hasn't arrived yet, but indications are that the Autel will fly better outdoors while the Mavic wins indoors.

Where would you use it indoor?

Any updates on MP focus issue? Is DJI reworking the focus issue?

Am I the only one who would be scared to fly a drone over an area I wouldn't be able to recover it from? EG over the water at the Kalalau Trail

No official word from DJI yet.

I feel that either you have confidence in your aircraft or you don't. Flying over land has its own dangers, possibly worse ones than crashing into water. At least in water the only loss is the craft.

Well Casey lost his new mavic on the water already...

What a moron. The guy breaks just about anything he owns.

I can't fathom why he has such a tremendous following.

Having now watched a few of his videos, I must say I disagree. I do find him engaging.

I discovered him through his snowboarding video which was entertaining, yet I can't get through any of his other videos. There's something annoying about him.

He puts out so much content, the vast majority of which is nonsense. But he's definitely very talented, and can produce some great footage when he's actually trying to.

Also, check out nerdwriter on Casey (and just about everything else - nerdwriter is freaking amazing):

Mavic is not the same quality but i agree on the convenience is key and 28% More flight time*
Back on topic...

It's actually really close once you add the post sharpening that the mavic doesn't do by default:

600% crop of of 4k from the 3, with all 3 positioned so that the FOV is the same.

Everyone who wants good footage :-X

That being said, DJI has stated (in response to the above test) that the sharpness will be an adjustable setting in the app.
