DJI Mavic Pro VS Phantom 4 video quality Comparison 4K - Helipal com

[@hotchi1566]

3:37, it seems Mavic camera has better dynamic range. Look at the details of the trees.

[@_luca.s]

That's just KZbin compressing the file. The reason it looks different is because the mavic makes different colours more prominent, good for some people but its not the real thing

[@hotchi1566]

I don't think so. Compressing will degrade both instead only Phantom 4. Mavic seems better with more details and dynamic range.

[@_luca.s]

+youyi li the way I say it, both have been compressed but it is less evident on the mavic because of the colours

[@hotchi1566]

Lucas Phantom 4 and Mavic have the same 1/2.3'' sensor, but the Mavic has a litter larger aperture lens, F2.2 vs. F2.8. This lens may lead to more details in dark parts.

[@samphotoyt]

In the turn at the end, the P4 smoothed out the end of the rotation and the mavic seemed very abrupt. Was that a pilot thing or is the P4 smoother in the starts and stops?

[@moonzestate]

That's a good question, I like to know myself :).

[@Texasboi87]

great video im now in the middle of trying to figure which one i want to purchased but need to do a lil more research on them both

[@justinspirational]

is the 'sharpen' settings the same on both teh p4 and mavic? the p4 looks slightly sharper but the mavic looks great too and actually prefer it undersharpened for a more filmic look- too sharp and looks like video as opposed to film.. though the mavic was thought to be softer than the p4 because people weren't properly tapping to focus but assume you did that for this footage with the mavic?

[@HeliPal]

we didn't change the setting of both drone. They are factory default value. And, both focus were tapped.

[@justinspirational]

OK thanks

[@iangillan1296]

so then can i decrease inbuilt sharpen setting to get more natural look? Or it can be done only in video editing app?

[@DrDuu]

Great comparison! I talked with DJI support and they told me that the 4K Bitrate is variable! But they did not tell me under which conditions the software decide to decrease or increase the bit rate. I think this is the problem of the more or less sharpness of Mavic. Cheers DrDuu

[@jasonotelo4932]

mavic pro seems to have more color to it p4 looks a little dull but may have a slight sharper video while zoom in

[@TheTekSone]

why are most of the Mavic Pro shots closer than you took with the Phantom 4? To me it makes it look like the Mavic takes better pictures because the detail is much closer and I can make out the finer details. Would have been better if when you did side/side or top/bottom the cameras were zoomed in equally. Just my opinion.

[@HeliPal]

TheTeksone the lens of phantom is wider

[@nashvillecsx]

Phantom 4 lens is like a 20mm (35mm equivalent) Mavic Pro lens is like a 28mm (35mm equivalent)

[@SinkyYT]

I like the Mavic video better and why is that P4 wandering so much?

[@TheRattleSnake3145]

mavic looks like only has a 2 axis gimbal, that yaw dampening needs to be increased.

[@HeliPal]

Phantom has a wide angle camera but Mavic has a narrow angle camera. I think that's why the video stability of Phantom seems a little better.

[@TheRattleSnake3145]

I wasn't talking about stability, stability if fine. I was talking about how the yaw movement is very abrupt on the mavic's gimbal.

[@hotchi1566]

No. It is the smallest 3 axis gimbal.

[@TheRattleSnake3145]

youyi li what's your point?

[@hotchi1566]

TheRattleSnake3145 It is 3 axis gimbal instead of 2 axis gimbal. The movement of gimbal can be very smooth. There are lots of settings in DJI GO for it. And Mavic has a very useful tripod mode for even more smooth footage.

[@romanzhahov]

Very nice video! Tnx! What about maximum range? Can you make competition?

[@HeliPal]

This is the only Mavic for me at this moment. It is risky to test the maximum range. I have almost lost my Phantom last time I did the range test kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYXVY6mqjKuMg7c However, I found that Mavic fly longer and faster than a Phantom. So, if the maximum range of Phantom is 5 KM, I think Mavic can go even longer.

[@valburger1]

Where did the Mavic go at 3:58?! It looks like it crashed in the grass...:)

[@petervanderham4725]

Still hesitant about the Mavic Pro. Will you do a comparison with the Phantom 4 Pro?

[@d.hansel854]

All they need to do in the next version is have 36X optical Zoom ! And maybe night vision !

[@HeliPal]

I hope so. DJI launches amazing products regularly. I think you will get what you want someday.

[@CHATHK]

wakeup bro

[@YknotLearnall]

D. Hansel - Walkera had it at last year's show.. Definitely would have rivaled DJI upon it's release. I don't know what happened but it hasn't been released at this point yet. Not State side anyway.

[@collision1988]

What time of the day did you film this? Seems kinda dark.

[@haks_123]

the phantom 4 has a wider field of view and a clearer resolution whereas the mavic has a narrower field of view with a little more sharper colors, but personally i think the phantom 4 wins because as the views are 2x zoomed in, the phantom develops a much clearer video than the mavic.

[@YknotLearnall]

excellent comparison vid. thanks for putting it together and sharing. cheers...

[@indysbike3014]

The Phantom 4 looks sharper to me.

[@carpediemnft]

It has digital sharpening you potato... No shit its going to look like that. If you do some post processing to the same extent the mavic will look sharper.

[@SrTonyFPVV]

well done helipal for the comparison. The p4 looks a bit more sharpen but again I really like the mavic because of its form factor. It would fit right into my fpv backpack :-D

[@YOYO-vl6xr]

remember P4 has a cpu on the camera that sharpens and stabilizes the image, so MAVIC wins, as you can do it better on computer after you land....

[@SrTonyFPVV]

YOYO yes true. I think mavic wins with all that features and form factor. A lot better than p4 in my opinion.

[@dkeberhard]

I watched this at 4k setting on a 2K monitor and the Mavic looked a little brighter and with more color. Hard to tell for sure which is better because they only specified "default settings". Anyways, the Mavic video looks pretty darn good.

[@JohnnyStoneTheBoss]

awesome comparison, the mavic looks softer than the phantom 4

[@YOYO-vl6xr]

research a little,,,P4 has image stablization and sharpening onboard...nothing you can't do ( and better) on a PC with the mavic

[@hotchi1566]

It is not softer. If you really want Phantom 4 style. You can change the sharp setting of Mavic or by post processing.

[@blackmennewstyle]

Very impressive little aircraft :) Hope they will do a 4S version in the future because i don't really trust 3S... Image looks better on the P4! Thanks for sharing and happy midweek

[@odinata]

What do you mean you don't trust 3s?

[@_luca.s]

bad battery life, 4s is so much better

[@blackmennewstyle]

odinata Just not enough power for me! I'm afraid in case of high winds that battery will drain itself very quickly even it is a small aircraft!

[@SinkyYT]

Apparently there is a Phantom 4 Pro being revealed on 15th November according to a post in a Mavic group I'm a member of on Facebook. Someone was setting up a new Mavic and the P4 Pro was an option to set up.

[@blackmennewstyle]

Sinky What will be the main features of the P4 because i don't really see what they can improve on the current P4?

[@ScottLaRue]

I thought there was a bug on my monitor in the beginning of the video. I actually was swiping at the monitor, but it was a helicopter in your video. :D

[@LEXPIX]

Excellent comparison.

[@HeliPal]

Thank you

[@Silvertinge291]

personally I think the Mavic camera looks better than P4. Colors on Mavic are better as P4 looks washed out. P4 has a wider lens - big deal.

[@mauroangst]

Razor E sometimes, for colorgrading is much better have washed colors. Its closer to a flat color profile

[@rikimaru749]

Razor E I can understand your point of view people is naturally more attracted by warm color. go pro apple Samsung. they all do that... but is that real ? a good camera is the camera who will record the reality as possible. that allows you more post effects. this is why it's often better to fly and record in D-log. it's will look flat and after you can easily set the ambiant you want. or try to make it look as your own eyes see the scene where you been. 😉

[@Silvertinge291]

I have been reading lately that R log really sucks on the Mavic now. Ppl either use cinelike or art

[@rikimaru749]

Razor E well I did encounter any problem. But I believe some camera update for the mavic could make it a bit better. If you have some example where people talk about it, I would appreciate to read it.

[@Silvertinge291]

Anthony Richard look on Mavic pilots forum

[@ciskje71]

Can you test also 60fps? Thanks

[@slbynum]

Are you guys looking at the same video? Maybe you should look at it on a 40 inch or larger screen instead of a phone. The mavic is shaky on still vids and moving. Did you see the gimbal shaking on the last segment? Phantom 4 is was smoother.Low light while the mavic was grainy, the phantom handles it way better. Lets talk portability for a sec. Yes the mavic is smaller and takes less time to set up but big deal. In most cases im not in house on fire hurry. Despite the size difference, you still have to dedicate one hand to carry either a case or bag for either one. Maybe on a 3 mile hike thru heavy woods or hills that might make a difference but lets get real.. most wont be doing that.

[@zolidavis]

Did you crash the Mavic at the end of the video???

[@HeliPal]

Zoli Davis if I crashed the mavic, my boss has already killed me but I am still alive.

[@ScottLaRue]

To me, the Mavic looks like it has more Dynamic Range than the Phantom.

[@KostasGur]

I think you are right... If you check the far distance trees, especially between 2.35 and 2.45, there are 5 trees that have dark red color (in the second line, behind the green trees) and mavic displays them right but p4 displays only the biggest one with brown red color. Is it because of the different standard settings or just the quality of the camera?

[@Fabian-cy1ed]

Kostas Gur In some videos the Phantom 4 have a better dynamic range than the Mavic (the different aren't big) But a very important advantage have the camera of the Phantom 4... it have a bit rate of 100 mb/s instead of the 60 mb/s from the Mavic. So when you fly fast and turn the camera to the bottom you can see the different web you paused the videos an crop into the images... (Sorry for my bad english ^^)

[@Goblin4461]

I don't know which one to get, I'm probably going to buy the mavic but idk 😭

[@Whatisright]

A drone is on my list of big purchases next year. Personally might go with the Mavic. It just seems like less of a pain in the ass to deal with because of it's portability.

[@UtilityHarvest]

Zach is that from casey neistat ? :P (im talking about the pain in the ass portability)

[@Whatisright]

LukeZgaming I don't watch that guys videos. Just certain things about him. But It would be a pain in the ass. I'd go out to do more than just fly a drone. I just don't want something massive being a hinderance.

[@krissutherland5426]

nice image comparision, First movie with both drone shooting the same images at the same place and same moment. in my opinion the mavic looks better than the p4. The colors are nicer ( warmer) and if you look to the zoom images, you see that the mavic is more stable.Also about the sharpeness, there is hardley a difference. Offcourse when not zooming in you see less movement on the p4 because it has a bigger FOV. I will go for the mavic

[@HeliPal]

Kris Sutherland someone said phantom has better image quality because the sensor is bigger. I think both of them are good enough for most customers. One more thing, the new phantom 4 pro has 1inch sensor, anti-crash radar in all direction and 30mins flight time. It may be another good choice.

[@ifabbott]

The Phantom 4 is impressive. People cannot believe what it can do. This looks like a huge advance, the picture was more still, smaller, more mobile with slightly more battery. Its seems brilliant until, when was the minute so important, you would need a still picture using it and that size matters! I see no need to release it except to upset the launch of the karma.

[@HeliPal]

ifabbott yes, p4 is very good indeed. There is a new p4 pro and it has a 1inch ccd sensor that offer very good video quality. There are anti-crash sensors in 4 direction so that it is the safest drone ever. Forget karma. It is a joke.

[@wakaastudio]

Does anyone knows the name of the song?

[@volerlibre9211]

The phantom is reality the best !

[@WBCStudio.]

Mavic's image is clearer than the phantom's one.

[@ItaloRican7]

I agree 100%

[@lifeasakingstonlaak8843]

Great vid thanks!

[@capudoff6319]

Eu tenho mavic pro ele é muito bom

[@ricardourroz9322]

Good one!

[@josedb]

Looks like mavic camera has better dinamic range

[@warwickyorkesmith3448]

I know everyone's going to say mavics better. But the fact is that is looks artificial and over contrasted in my opinion. Tell me if you believe different.

[@ItaloRican7]

To me the Mavic looks much better in every way.

[@Bobster986]

The Mavic Pro is a very cool aircraft, but the Phantom camera look 10x's better and that is all that matters to me at the end of the day. Sorry DJI.

[@HeliPal]

I think both of them takes very good 4K video footages. There may be difference between them but not that much :)

[@Bobster986]

HeliPal enough to my eyes or any professionals who have used the Phantom.

[@teknofil007]

It looks like Phantom 4 is littel better but only littel. 2 Nice drone fore diffrent use. Mavic is the drone when you are on tour because is so littel and easy to take With you. I fly Phantom 4 and I think Its enough fore me. With that suitecase phantom 4 come With Its also easy to take With me. But so mutch tecnologi in so littel drone like Mavic is awsome! Nothing moore to say.

[@bd928]

teknofil007 English?

[@romanzhahov]

bd928 nope :)

[@snells-window]

There is little difference in reality and the video was shot in pretty poor light

[@Sureshproduction]

Mavic pro is that best drone mere pass bi mavic pro hi hai

[@lyserver1]

mavic worth every penny...can do every job as P4...

[@HeliPal]

It is much smaller than Phantom as well. It is not a easy job to carry a Phantom on my bike. However, I can carry 3 Mavic in my tank bag now

[@condekirk4271]

Half those Mavik shots are out of focus.

[@nunopalha]

Phantom has much better image quality... but ok. I understand there is a hype for Mavic for its portability and features. But phantom camera is better.

[@RapidImages]

I think the Mavic Pro looks sharper. The colors are also more vivid.

[@UtilityHarvest]

OpticalEarth yeah but post editing of colors always looks better. In the end you can't really do that with the mavic's image because its not as basic as the p4's image color. And I also think the p4 looks sharper.

[@khmeradventure393]

Mavic is flat color; Pathon is more colorful & sharper as fly both

[@sebastiannunez8675]

me gusta más el dji phantom 4

[@letotof8145]

Mavic air have a best caméra

[@YOYO-vl6xr]

phantom has a lot of digital sharpening...so mavic wins (10 times more portable, the same autonomy, same sensors, a lot better transmitter, a lot more light, a lot more beautiful, a lot more sturdy constructed......) MAVIC WIN

[@odinata]

YOu are comparing apples to oranges.

[@YOYO-vl6xr]

+odinata why? you are not correct. They are the same, same electronics, small form factor. why you say that? and also they all fly! :) so, I'm not sir, I know what I'm saying, been fying and building drones for the past 5-6 years

[@MikeSarni]

YOYO mavic cam is junk 4k is busted and 1080p at 60fps is flawed have u been on the forums? i have both so i know yes mavic wins in portability bur thats it imo

[@YOYO-vl6xr]

Mike Sarni yes, I'm in RCgroups and facebook posts, also in MavicPilots. Could you post the links of the posts you are talking about?

[@MikeSarni]

YOYO sure !!!😂

[@pixxmedia3698]

Mavic only can 4K with 25 fps, not 30fps

[@HeliPal]

Mavic can supports 4K video at 30fps: www.dji.com/mavic

[@-ja-8138]

This is a serious comparison without a blaaaaa blaaa blaaa (I love my voice....) You can make up your mind, I did mine (Phantom 4) Besides, I have a 50K SUV car, so I can fit my 1K P4 in quite nicely :- )-:)

[@PhannyObsession]

I actually think the Phantom picture is just slightly better

[@eraldodutra7638]

DJI Phantom & GoPro Hero Videos

[@Goblin4461]

Thanks, I think I've made up my mind on which one of theses expensive motherfuckers to get 😂😂

[@HeliPal]

Jack Phillipd both drone are perfect. Don't forget there is a new phantom 4 with large ccd sensor that offers better video quality and more anti-crash radars that make it the safest drone ever

[@Goblin4461]

HeliPal it's such a hard choice, but overall the mavic is cheaper

[@HeliPal]

Jack Phillipd and mavic is much smaller than phantom and make it more portable

[@Goblin4461]

HeliPal But one of the most important things, which one is more durable?

[@HeliPal]

Jack Phillipd mavic has a lot of moving parts. That means it's relatively hard to repair. Phantom is simple and I think that means more durable.

[@jorge_rio]

Mavic faster??? I don't think so.....

[@HeliPal]

J Rio mavic is lighter and it has smaller drag area. I think that It's possible that mavic fly faster than a phantom
