DJI Mavic Air 2: 8K HyperLapse Explained and Tested

[@LemarYares1013]

DJI should include 4k option on hyperlapse on the air 2 firmware update. It will make the processing much easier to handle and maybe, can produce better quality thank 8k

[@Dcrainmaker]

Yup, I agree! ☝️

[@adronersworld3577]

100% agree!

[@luukkenselaar4202]

I think it's just a marketing thing to say it makes 8k hyperlapses, while the most people don't want that.

[@RedpillPortugal]

@Richard Mercer probably(most definitely) because dji wanted to brag about 8k... but it kinda sucks

[@froznfire9531]

@@RedpillPortugal yeah but even then, they couldve just given a 1080p and 4k mode and still leave the 8k mode... it does not make sense in any way

[@cedharb1899]

I think it's jumpy because of the interval and because it's flying (kinda) close to the trees / ground, so the jumping can be easily noticed. I think the 8k was made to take hyperlapses where the subject is maybe more distant, like a mountain or something, so the jumping wouldn't be so noticeable...

[@Dcrainmaker]

Indeed, flying lower can make Hyperlapses tricky - but as noted (and shown), the 1080p ones at the exact same height weren't an issue. It's *all* about the 6-second recording rate.

[@duckgoesmooo]

@@Dcrainmaker Well no shit sherlock. This is why in video fps is king. 6s per frame is 10 fpm, whereas 2s per frame is 30 fpm.. its a neat feature, but id just record at 60 fps @ 4k and fucking forget about it.

[@muxpux]

At 8k you should have enough room to zoom in, align each frame in post to make it smooth as butter.

[@meathunderify]

You've been killin' it in these videos man.. keep up the great work!!

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks, appreciate it!!!

[@Ben_Howard]

To get more battery - I start with my last waypoint and work backwards to my first waypoint. Then I use a reverse sequence, So it will start from where I finish setting up my waypoints without having to go backwards. Also note the firmware allows a 4K option which is more practical.

[@Dcrainmaker]

Yeah, the 4K option wasn't there at launch, but came mid last year.

[@ermin3963]

Great! I am so glad you are not only reviewing smart fitness gadgets but also drones. I love both. I used to have Garmin Fenix 5X Plus and I switched to Polar Vantage V Titan after watching your video review. Now, I am considering getting Mavic Air 2. Your videos are awesome! Keep up the great work!

[@toejullar]

DJI should really update the software and force 8K to a raw image sequence, that way you get the good quality plus raw edits. That little drone is trying to do just too much when processing everything on-board.

[@ZedZee]

That jumping is really off putting. Great video. Considering selling my Mavic Pro for one but also put off by having no CE marking yet and no air sense in Europe.

[@Dcrainmaker]

Yeah, the lack of Air Sense is a bummer in Europe. :( The Mavic Air 2 is still an incredible drone, just not this one feature.

[@Oligilo-co3pm]

wait for the mavic 3 and then decide

[@indorock]

Personally I'd specifically avoid the AirSense for flying in Germany since it puts a hard cap at altitude when flying in Berlin at 100m and other really crazy limits.

[@mrchainanimal3637]

Good video, as usual. I like the fact, that although this is of course a DJI sponsored vid (normal people don't have the Mavic Air 2 yet), you are not afraid to highlight design flaws (like on the follow-mode vid). This channel is one of the rare sources of information to trust before vids of real users, who actually paid for the product, are out.

[@jeffreysuijkerbuijk]

The nice Dutch scenery

[@dariordz688]

One thing I've learned over two years of learning about hyperlapses, is that if it's higher than 4k, you don't reject it, you stabilize it in AE.

[@dariordz688]

I'm not defending DJI over their unpolished hyperlapse option, I'm just saying that 8k is well worth for hyperlapses, and those, even though they should came SOC just fine, are workable lapses!

[@blueharley2]

well done presentation! Now I won't be so confused or disappointed when I try the 8k hyperlapse.

[@CineZoneYT]

Use premier pro warp stabilizer or after effects to make your 8k hyper lapse into an epic 4K hyperlapse

[@ArcticExploring]

8K is probably great if you are far up in the sky, 100 meter up in the sky or so. Great video, I still want to buy one.

[@belovedLion80]

You bring up some good points that no one has talked about yet. Digging your videos

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks! I try and dig in a bit deeper to find the nuggets (both good and bad).

[@brandonhuggins6044]

Jumpiness probably due to being too close to subject. Make a large object further away the subject for 8k hyper lapse and the results will probably be a lot better.

[@JCJW101]

MOV is less compressed than MP4 so if you want image quality then that's what you should record in. It would be interesting to see the difference, probably won't be massive but it will eak out everything available give you greater post flexibility.

[@christopherwiley01]

This video definitely helped me out! I'm excited to try this feature out on my Mavic Air 2! Thank you!

[@sparkcone]

Great explanation! I always curious as to what all the fuss is about this hyperlapse hype....Netherlands is so beautiful...

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks!

[@AudioVisualHQ]

Great Video! I dont have an Air 2 (yet) but regarding the differences in exposures between the 4K video and 8K Hyperlapse....maybe the HDR option is not available when in 8K Hyperlapse mode?

[@mlegrand]

Weather is looking good over there Ray! Oh great video as always 👍

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks! Indeed, we've been super lucky on weather the last 2 months. Pretty unreal!

[@mlegrand]

@@Dcrainmaker - I would have been just as happy with 6k hyperlapse that is usable vs 8k unusable. They could probably use that little bit of extra real-estate to stabilize footage. 🙄

[@Dcrainmaker]

@@mlegrand Agree, or heck, even a 4K HyperLapse. I don't understand why they went with 1080p as the only other option. :-/

[@passby8070]

it's recommended that you do those hyperlapse high up and far away from your subjects. some of your footage is way to close, any wind will make your footage unuseable.

[@ChillFlightsForFun]

For all you confused people, this hyperlapse mode is exactly like in the Mavic 2 and just like in the mavic 2 you can just save the RAW images, don't use the unstabilized video generated by the app and edit&stabilize the footage in post - that's how all the pros get smooth hyperlapse footage from a drone.

[@birdymeo]

Chill Flights For Fun do you have confirmation you can save Raws with it? It doesn’t use the same app as the Pro 2. I only shoot raw Hyperlapse with my Pro 2.

[@ChillFlightsForFun]

@@birdymeo yah you can save RAW+JPEG

[@TateNations]

Came in to find out where the option was to change it to 8k and stayed for the whole thing and subscribed.

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks!

[@NaturalAltitudes]

Does the hyperlapse image quality improve if you turn off APAS?

[@cgrossmeier]

The jumpy video has more to do with wind direction in relation to flight path. Flight into the wind, less jumpy... Flights across the wind had a lot jump for me.

[@Dcrainmaker]

I did one of the two 1080p videos in exactly the same direction. It’s simply because there are more frames in 1080p that it’s smoother.

[@jasonjahnkeinla]

Great job. I really think you got it figured out. So question. If we turn off all sensors can we make video and pictures better!!??

[@Dcrainmaker]

Haha...I wish! Unfortunately I don’t think they’re giving us that flexibility to control the imaging pipeline! I wish there was some middle ground though, like a 4K option.

[@NaturalAltitudes]

@@Dcrainmaker you should be able to turn off front/back and side collision avoidance in the general settings, and see if maybe that makes a difference in the image quality. Definitely worth a try if so much of the image processing pipeline is taken by APAS...

[@matthewmatzner4930]

Great video all around, but a huge part you missed in the analysis is the fact you were analyzing these next to each other unedited. The entire point of more pixels is more information and thus when you go to edit images or video you can expose more of the detail such as the flowers in the one video or the detail in the trees, etc. You were simply just analyzing unedited frames versus one another. There’s some other good videos on KZbin showing how regular HD images and video can look somewhat better at times compared to 2-6x the pixels before editing in lightroom or darkroom but when you go to edit the higher resolution images you can bring out way more detail and not wash the image out compared to the refusal 1080p images, etc. So in that regard you missed that part of the analysis of this comparison between the types of hyper lapses, though you did nail how much the sensor plays a role. Thankfully we now have the sweet spot for this drones sensor with the new update that brought us the 4K hyperlapse. Though with that the same phenomenon exists when comparing 1080 to 4K as you’ll have more data to pull out of the frames when editing it. But this information you shared is probably most useful for those who don’t want to edit anything at all and want the best looking on average, though to those people editing is so easy these days with a tablet and downloading lightroom or darkroom so to those of you who don’t want to bother please give it a go as it’s never been easier for novices! Again, great video you content is definitely helping me gain a better grasp of things!

[@Graemehatz]

Honestly the most informative, useful and groundbreaking MA2 video to date. Thanks for exposing the flaw in the 8k hyper lapsing. This certainly wasn't on the highlight. reel for DJI. It sounds like they might be able to fix it with a software update. As you said. Go pro and other companies can do it

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks, appreciate it!

[@bluetree327]

Please do skydio 2 wind test. You said on the previous video that you did wind test for all the drones then where is the video for skydio 2 wind test?

[@Dcrainmaker]

I shot lots of footage in high winds for my original Skydio 2 review, but didn't go out and do a specific test where I stand/talk/etc through it all. But I'm currently slated to record it next Monday. The winds are lookin' even nastier than my Mavic Air 2 video, so it should make it more fun. Of course, weather dependent!

[@seachris]

By chance does the Maverick air 2 pick up sound when recording or are you issuing something separate to Record your voice with?! just because when I start filming my flights what I should use for sound to record my voice with !!

[@wchafe1]

What's making the video so jumpy is that the Mavic is unable to maintain a constant altitude. It's constantly drifting up and down from frame to frame. This causes the perspective of the image to change a lot because you are so close to the ground. There's no way to correct for this in post production. This is made even worse in the 8K mode because there's so much time between frames. Try some hyperlapses with the drone much higher and I think you'll find that it's a lot better.

[@Pergidulu]

Exactly. Also make the drone travel further between shots. That was travelling like 50cm between shots which it probably can't do accurately. Better to really get it high and get it moving a lot between shots to get it smoothed out.

[@ivanekprochazka]

I was about to write the same. It's a very wrong assumption mentioned in the video, that stabilization in post would make it better. There's no way to stabilize if perspective has changed, it's physically and geometrically impossible. The drone would have to maintain the strait line within centimetres threshold. You would do much better with a long pole or a cable way if you wanted jitter-free hyperlapse.

[@mrhyde1381977]

Can't you return it in sport mode to the aproximatly starting point of the hyperlpase before starting the recording to save the slow return time?

[@wykedengelmusic6197]

Showing love to another awesome Thinkpad user!

[@karel12379]

One question though. The hyper lapse used for the promo material with the night scene with the buildings etc, is super smooth. How did they get that right then? And is this only when using the mode of setting up a start point and end point, or is the results the same for the other movement modes? Personally this was one of the features that I would actually want a drone for. And if this is the case, what other drone is better for this? Number two, for someone who is not a professional video editor, I need some kind of a one button press feature to remove the jitter as it is the last thing you want... What software will provide that?

[@Dcrainmaker]

For the promo I’m gonna bet they either shot it with something else, shot it in 1080p and upscale, or stabilized the crap out of it in post. GoPro for examples this past year shot most of their Hero 8 video on Hero 7 gear. Such is marketing. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Kjwb588atgmail]

@@DcrainmakerCan you believe that, lol. And I thought wow... Lol. Sorry, I am quite new at video editing and hyperlapse stuff. As I am actually a photographer and have done timelapses and it is quite an exercise to make sure you get footage without different exposures and flickering. But my question is, can you trick it by doing a video and speed it up to get more or less the same result?

[@ChillFlightsForFun]

Very easy, you have the option to save the raw images and don't use the app-generated hyperlapse. Use the RAW images in post to have full access to editing and stabilisation... Just like with the mavic 2

[@karel12379]

@@ChillFlightsForFun Ah ok, and that is one thing the MA2 can't do... So that is why the Mavic 2 is still better? So to sum it up, for Hyperlapses M2 is better and for photos MA2 is better...

[@Simon-qy7pe]

WARNING TO ANYONE PURCHASING THE MAVIC AIR 2 for APAS 3.0 - Active Track, Focus Track, POINT OF INTEREST FLYING - will only work at frame rates of 30FPS or Lower at any resolution setting. The DJI Fly App will not allow APAS 3.0 - select target until you set your frame rate to 30FPS or lower. It's a real problem considering these automated tracking modes are primarily used by many for tracking moving subjects. DJI need to publish this in their User manuals.

[@checkeredflagfilms]

I agree that subsequent FW will address the crappy 8k HL. My question is...Can you select/change various exposure setting and more importantly...shutter speed??

[@DJIDroneTravel]

I keep watching these reviews because I really like this little drone 😀

[@jacobjimenez3571]

Have you tried reel steady? Is super for those bumpy videos. Cheers!! Pretty good content. Keep going.

[@falconeoneaerialimaging2515]

Could the jumping up and down be due to the fact you were over water? Could the bottom sensor be adjusting up and down due to the motion of the water ?

[@crazierthorn10]

My question is, if DJI sacrificed the main cameras bandwidth 8K so the obstacle avoidance features can work, can you turn them off and gain better performance? I was confused whether that was tried, I know it was addressed.

[@NaturalAltitudes]

I would like to know too

[@jbtech5743]

The problem on 8k is the timeframe between shots, hope 4k option comes with 2-3 seconds as would address the issue whilst keeping quality... my Air 2 turns up tomorrow.... cannot wait to play

[@RobFisherUK]

Can we just save individual photos and stitch them together later using desktop software?

[@tshansen]

First of all... thank you! You make really good and informative videos :-) Most of the things DJI has put into this drone is marketing gimmick. There is 3 things that i value the most in this drone. Size (still smal) way better connection and range, and the 4K 60fps

[@RaduBogdan2k]

Great video, just one question: can you have the drone save all individual images (ideally in RAW) or are you stuck with just getting the final video? Also, is it possible to save your waypoints for reuse? I saw some DJI representant say that it was but I didn't see it in your video.

[@AlSo-Fotografie]

[@glebheinke8402]

Probably the reason it's 8K is so that you could crop in in post and the stabilization will be much better. Would be interesting if you could test that.

[@josefb.7363]

If you look at this shaking, is is extreme at close objects and not visible at the horizon. Transferring this to the camera position I think the MA2 is varying its height from photo to photo. Can you confirm that? In this case a hyperlapse looking at only far objects should look much better.

[@LarryGibson]

Excellent video. Have you done any testing on the new update for hyperlaps where are you can save the raw files. I have been unsuccessful in finding any raw files with the new update.

[@Dcrainmaker]

Not quite yet.

[@sofinasri]

Hi DC Rainmaker, i was wondering, did you use tripod mode when you shoot the hyperlapse.

[@SlipFitGarage]

Do you think the Mavic 2 Pro will ever get 4k 60, or 8K hyperlapse in a future firmware update? Or will they save that for the Mavic 3 Pro?

[@Dcrainmaker]

Sorry, thought you were saying Mavic Air 2 getting 4K. No, I don’t expect any older drones to get anything.

[@Designguidetv]

pretty sure that exposure in 8k can be fixed in a software update, or have them just save the 8k photos as a sequence so you can process it yourself?

[@tedfire]

Ihave to agree with Ceb Carb the framing makes a lot of difference. The jumping is caused by difference in height between frames. 6 seconds is a lot longer to try and maintain the same height. Also there is no way software can smooth out perspective changes which is what you are getting with height changes.

[@NaturalAltitudes]

I agree. It is the perspective changes causing thar bumpiness not the gimbal.

[@wittig7730]

great analysis. Good explanations for your points.

[@xplmr1]

Can't you lock the exposure or go into manual during the HyperLapse? I would think that it would help if you found your subject beforehand and locked it in auto or went to manual and then found a happy medium between the darkest and lightest points in your HyperLapse. Or are those options not available in HyperLapse.

DC Rainmaker DJI recommends the drone height to be over 30m for hyperlapse. You were flying only 15m. Can you try flying higher and take a 8k hyperlapse?

[@Dcrainmaker]

The key thing though is that doesn't matter. The 1080p Hyperlapse was fine. The limiter of every 6-seconds is the broken point.

blee As for me, I just sold my Mavic Mini and ordered the Mavic Air 2. As much as I enjoyed the Mini because of its weight and simplicity, the Air 2 gives me more options and has a better range which was the main reason for me to upgrade. Worrying about flying behind objects because it might loose the signal is a real struggle. It always came back thanks to the return to home function but it pretty much destroyed the experience for me at some points.

[@MaulikBhavsar83]

[@RafalGalinski_drony]

Why did you not lock the exposure and lower the EV down to -0.3 or -0.7? The image seems overexposed...

[@Dcrainmaker]

Half is overexposed, half is underexposed. The normal 48MP photos correctly exposes all parts. This doesn’t.

The jumpiness looks like it's mainly the drone not keeping the height perfectly. You won't be able to fix such a change in perspective in post. Maybe it's better to fly higher with no objects in the foreground to avoid or at least lessen such parallax errors.

[@Dcrainmaker]

Remember, it worked fine at that same height and conditions in 1080p mode...

Thanks for all your hard work and clear explanations! Seems like the 8K needs a lot of work in post launch firmware for it to be a viable option. 4K on the pro 2 gives a much more professional and smooth output. The interval of 6 secs is too high of smooth footage I think. But the processors no my quick enough to analyse and write it to the SD card.
