Like his larger brothers, the Mavic offers all the usual video features such as 1080/60p, 4K/30p, customizable picture profiles, and D-LOG.
The only downside is the low 60 Mbps bitrate which offers limiting grading options, especially in 4K. The exposure and white balance must be set with care here. However, keep in mind that the previous high-end Inspire 1 (X3) and Phantom 3 Pro were also capped at 60 Mbps and we lived with it.
The DJI Mavic relies on a small 1/2.3-inch 12-megapixel sensor able to output JPEG and raw DNG pictures.
The camera can rotate 90 degrees, which is very convenient to capture high definition panoramic photography.
this camera is set to a fixed f/2.2 aperture with a 28mm focal (35mm format equivalent). ND filters will be needed in order to reduce the shutter speed in video mode.
The small quadcopter can handle moderate to strong winds fairly well. Switch to sports mode to reach a speed of up to 40 mph (65 kph).
However, the front propellers may enter in the camera field of view at this speed. On average, the 3S lithium battery gives a comfortable 20-24 minutes autonomy.
Additional features: The Mavic is equipped with forward and downward anti-collision sensors. It also supports dual controller
Conclusion: The Mavic represents the perfect compromise between size, price, performance, and image quality. Unlike the DJI Spark, it comes with a 3-axis stabilized camera, 4K video, multi frame rate options, and advanced picture profiles. Compared to the Phantom 4 Pro, the Mavic has a smaller sensor and lower video bitrate (60Mbps) but these disadvantages are compensated by its lighter footprint.
Professionals looking for extreme portability or casual users who want something better than the Spark and smaller than the Phantom can safely opt for the Mavic.
