[@MaximusAbrams]

it is a really nice change from the yelling-shouting trend on youtube

[@dr.aviator]

Bro! I was thinking the very same thing!!!!!

[@adamthorpe1]

Thee perfect video. Why? It’s short, it’s to the point, it’s massively visual and uses appropriate footage for what is being explained. There is no waffle, none of that app recording and it comes from a reliable source. This single video alone including its tips, tricks and suggestions has confirmed the Mavic 2 Zoom is the correct one for me...finally! It answered all my questions in a short space of time. Thank you...and great job!

Such a great video and very clearly explained … so nice to watch a video where the person isn’t shouting. No constant ‘awesome and cools ‘ and your so calm and easy to listen to brilliant Great work thanks

Hi. Your video is THE GOLD STANDARD. I am a sales engineer and as such, one must be a technical samurai, and more importantly, have the ability to move into ones personal zone with ease and trust. YOU'VE GOT ALL OF THAT. This is not something one can easily train to attain. You either have both, or you don't. I really appreciated your straight forward informative video. Presentation and information was stellar, and believe me when I say - you've got what it takes.

[@thefilmpoets]

OBE thanks for the encouragement. Have fun flying!

[@ExpeditionTech]

The compression of the zoom is what finally won me over to the zoom. Great synopsis.

[@marcokrempel]

I will always prefer an optical zoom over any digital image. Organic looking natural movements. I think it has character! Great video!

[@UrdazFilms]

Folowed advice,and today I tried everything he said on this video minus the nd filter and my footage when from normal to simply perfectly amazing! Used the skygrades cinema pop, with 0,-3,0 and Its just so easy!!!! Blown away thank you so much keep them coming, more videos!!!

[@thefilmpoets]

I love hearing that. So glad you're happy. Have fun! -Matt

I’ve just stumbled across your channel whilst searching for reviews of the Ronin S and have to say the production quality and pacing of your studio videos (all I’ve watched so far) are incredible - keep smashing it

[@NasserAlazzawiTV]

Absolutely love this video. I’m thinking of getting the zoom so landed here.

[@rvrmarco]

When I had to choose between Zoom and Pro I had no doubts. The Zoom is much more versatile and you are sacrificing a very little increase in quality

[@tonyribeiro2519]

Finally a decent and comprehensive tutorial about the magic II zoom!!! Thanks!

[@marctrainor5595]

Wow, what a professionally done video! I know that's obvious, but I felt I just had to say it. Darn, am I anguishing over which of these 2 bombshell drones to get when I can afford it. I'm certainly leaning on the zoom, for most of the reasons you talked about. I don't know what it is, but somehow, I still feel like the Pro 2 looks a little soft on the video. I know most people would say it's cinematic, and that's probably true, but I still seem to prefer the sharpness of the zoom and certainly the flexibility the zoom allows you to shoot. I know there's people in both camps on this, but that's how I see it. Thanks for a great presentation. Marc T.

[@tylertalksagain]

Hey thanks! This was very type of video I was looking for. The picture you get with zoom is amazing!

[@VICVideopIC]

Fantastic video. I am very happy with my Mavic 2 zoom: much better quality than I was expecting (I also own a Phantom 4 Pro). And the zoom is fantastic!

[@jpmorales2131]

how does the quality compare 4 pro and zoom?

Great video, super useful information delivered in a down to earth manner. Love it.

[@bradballew3037]

Great video! I was baffled that the Zoom was overlooked by so many people. I don't think the pro's image quality is that much better TBH. I think footage from the zoom can look just as good in the right hands. For me, having more composition options was far more interesting. I would rather have a DSLR with a wide focal range than a RAW Cinema camera that can only shoot wide. I think composition options benefits creative storytelling more than image quality. But that's just my opinion. ;-)

[@schlenbea]

Wow! Very well stated sir. I think you just helped clear any doubt on which I will get. Thanks!

[@Sky1]

24 - 48 mm? Oh please

[@bradballew3037]

@@Sky1 oh please what? That's a great range for aerial and there is a very distinct difference in look and feel at each end of that range. When it comes to aerial, I don't think you'd want to go much wider or longer for a good cinematic image. Everyone has their personal taste and that's ok. I find the focal range of the zoom to be very beneficial.

[@gm6112]

[@darrenlee6462]

Great vid... loads of content put over perfectly. I agree... loads more fun to be had with it with the zoom. Always go to post with all vids and had to crop shots of my girls. As well as fantastic videos, feels so much quicker and more convenient to zoom than to move up close for stills. More likely to better frame those great one off moments on days out.

[@Jigsaw_knows]

[@toddguse]

Lots of great info. Thanks for putting this up.

[@EtheriumSky]

Damn, just when i pretty much decided on the pro, i watch this and again dont know anymore ugghhh...! How would you compare the Pro's HQ mode (shoots at 1.4 crop equalling 40mm essentially, then you can digitally zoom 4k to essentially 80mm) vs the zoom's optical zoom? I know obviously optical zoom is way better than digital crop but i ask myself if in this situation it would make a huge difference? Its only 24 to 48 after all, still not a tele lens... And the 10bit DLog of the pro would just offer much more for color grading... Any thoughts?

[@ΓιώργοςΚαλλίγερος-ι5ω]

I am planning to buy the zoom these days. I own a P4P now but I need the 48 mm zoom. Did you buy the Pro?

[@lonceysgardening3933]

im new to droning (well, with the intent to get actual cool footage and maybe try editing and using filters and stuff) and your videos are sweet. you are chillllllllllllllin out!

[@joelstolarski2244]

It has some strange artifacts, compared to the Mavic 2 pro. There's a glistening effect on the palm leaves and then on an above footage of rocks and beach. Might be due to KZbin compression. Otherwise very pleasing composition and footage. Thanks for posting the videos. Nice work !

awsome video mate! very helpful, keep it up and thanks agains

[@M_E_T_R_O__9]

Learned a lot in this one thanks - Still a little unsure whether to go for the zoom but have to admit i prefer the lens after seeing your graded videos.

[@thefilmpoets]

It's a nice drone, but don't forget about the HQ crop mode in the Mavic 2 Pro, which can get you a bit more reach out fo the lens.

[@Folamoyela]

really informative, thank you for this

[@g.v.sakhilendra6704]

Awesome video bro 🔥🔥

[@DavidHLee]

the zoom's image can definitely be comparable to the Pro if you take the time to grade it in post. i love how you brought out the composition benefits of the Zoom. only a few reviews even bring that up and most only relay how the only benefit of the zoom lens the dolly effect. i think the Pro's quality is great but Zoom seems more practical to use in overall story telling as a filmmaker.

[@graemeleonard8467]

Great Video, would love to learn more

[@JoshMiles]

Great stuff... those parallax shots really do sell it. I'm loving my Mavic 2 Pro, but wishing I had a zoom now as well!

Hi: Thanks for your greats tutorials. I’m a biginner. For the moment, I only can buy 1 nd filter for my Mavic 2 Pro. Do you suggest to buy the ND8 filter for the Mavic 2 Pro like with Mavic 2 zoom?

[@Teamvggaminghighlights]

great info for m2zoom users

[@VistarCreative]

Great and very informative video. Thank you!

[@JonathanNinnin]

Great video, although I've found that playing with the HQ mode and Full FOV on the mavic 2 pro are also kind of give this flexibility of having 2 different composition options while having the Mavic 2 pro advantages. What are your thoughts on this ?

[@tomibeg]

That's true. If you don't need to zoom while filming (i.e. for already annoying dolly-zoom), M2Pro can give you almost the same cinematic look which marketed as "exclusive feature" of M2Zoom

[@thefilmpoets]

Good Day that’s sort of true, I like cropping with hq, but it’s more like 38mm. So 48mm is about 25% more reach. But what’s most useful isn’t zooming mid shot, but zooming mid-composition. I shot a lot in between 24 and 48mm, like 35mm. With the zoom you can find the sweet spot. But yes I still prefer the Mavic 2 Pros sweet image.

[@Bill14886]

I need to purchase my 1st editing software, I have never used anything before so I need something simple but worth while . Any recommendations.

[@epvideos6476]

thank you so much for this! Ive been waiting for support with the mavic zoom! I just purchased the Luts today and I already love them, thank you! Im looking to buy the DJI Osmo pocket, I would love to see a video for this camera. I would assume your Luts should pair nicely since the Mavic Zoom and Pocket have the same cameras (Or thats at least what DJI tells me) Let me know!! Thanks for all that you guys do, I love your channel!

[@thefilmpoets]

I'm not sure about the Osmo Pocket, but I'll bet its a pretty similar image. Do a few tests and let me know what you think. -Matt

[@connormillermedia]

any idea how to fix blurry footage on Mavic 2 zoom? I'm playing the footage in final cut and its super blurry until i pause the footage and then the picture is focused. I have tried using your mavic pro distortion tool, but no luck. my youtube channel is called Highfield Ave and i can send you some footage examples if you need them. it would be greatly appreciated if you could help me out on this, i would be sure to make a video about it on youtube to promote your channel and services.

Great video and tips! If you had to pick between Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom, cost not being a factor, which one would you choose and why? Thanks!

[@thefilmpoets]

Mavic 2 Pro for sure. Bigger sensor = cleaner image. HQ mode on m2p helps if you want a longer focal length.

[@thefilmpoets]

Hey Melvin, SIERRA LUT will work well with any camera as longs as it's using a slightly flat profile. LOG footage needs to be corrected first. It's a useful color grade that I've used for several films. Of course, the camera's own color science is going to show through, but it will look nice on properly shot and white balanced footage. Thanks! -Matt
