Photography is my passion and I too brought my Mavic for it's photography capability. Sure there are possibly better options with regards to quality of image, but I love the portability; it doesn't matter how good a camera's performace is, if you haven't got it with you, it's pointless. I can take my Mavic anywhere.
I use Nikon a D7000 and quality prime lenses for my normal photography and I'm a bit of a pixel peeper at times; so like a good quality image. I'm pleased with my Mavic and the quality is fine. The unique angles that I can shoot from outweighs a drop in image quality. I post process in Lightroom, which gives me images that I'm pleased with. I'm getting good detail captured within the RAW files; I sometime postprocess some HDR images in photomatix which works well; tripod mode is so good on the Mavic that I can take mulipple exposures and process a good HDR image through photomatix. RAW images are great for me to work with and I have had no problems; before or after upgrading to FW .1000 (I do have a glitch at the moment preventig me from looking at my Flight Data).
Another thing to consider is that some Mavic pilots are pushing the limits with regards range, speed etc (no critism, the Mavic is there to enjoy and have fun with). However, my flights are generally planned well in advance , considering light conditions, time of day etc. So I have had no issues whatsoever regarding Flight Performance. I generally fly aware from people; mostly becasue they spoil my shots.
As a hobby photographer with a decent level of skill and knowledge; I cannot recommend the Mavic enough; I love it. Get one! |
