Hello guys & gals!
I've owned 2 DJI Phantom 4 Pro over the last 4 years shooting various projects (weddings, small business/church projects, etc...) and have loved the image quality at 4k. I decided to decommission my phantoms and upgrade to something new. Image quality is king and beats out every other feature, balanced with costs of course
Because of that, I decided it would either be the Mavic 2 Pro ro the Air 2S because they seem to have the better cameras, 1" sensors and high Mbps recording abilities, much like the Phantom 4 Pro. Ultimately, I decided on the Air 2S.
To my surprise, I can see the video image quality might be just a a bit less on stationary or slowly moving shots, but very much so on pan shots. The pan shots turn out pretty blurry compared to the Phantom.
I've tried the following (all in bright sunlight):
- Using DLOG vs normal (ensuring most data)
- H.264 vs H.265 (compression algorithms)
- Low vs high vs very high frame rates and shutter speeds to get things as sharp as possible with as little motion blur as possible
- Recording in 1920x1080 vs 4k vs 5.4 k (to record as much detail as possible), 1920x1080 looked really bad even in bright light.
My memory cards are the ones I always use with my phantom (64 GB SanDisk Extreme U3) and have no glitches in the video.
No matter what I do, it's pretty blurry on the pan, even in a slow pan.
Has anyone else gone from the Phantom 4 Pro to the Air 2S and experienced anything different or is this the same for everyone? Perhaps I'm simply missing something or even have a defective new drone?
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chuck
