Apparently not, the update from today does not contain it.

The update even lists that it added Cinematic mode to the Mavic but it's definitely not there.

Can you share a screen shot of it? I don't see it anywhere in mine with the update from this morning.

Just flew.  Cinematic is right next to Tripod Mode on the first page.  Upon activating it, I could not find any options to "tweak" it like the course angular velocity found within the iOS app.  It does function as intended anyway.

4.0.1 also moved around some items in the menus.

Fonts are smaller like "WB" "Shutter" and that makes it quicker/easier to train your eyes right on the numbers underneath those.

If you have AUTO for WB, it now shows the color temp (k) it selects.  

Mine did the continuous AF, but only a couple times in a 10 minute flight.
No compass error or high wind warnings.

Of course ticking the box "Never show this again" never sticks still.  I always have to tap OK after it shows me the explanation of a flight mode I've seen 100 times.

Ahh, that's why I didn't see it, I had thought it was a color mode, didn't realize it was a flight mode.

Hey, no compass switching in full sport mode flying.

Android app is 2 weeks late, but 2 weeks more polished.  No app crashes at all still whatsoever on a rooted Galaxy S5.

Doesn't seem to be eating my battery up when I close out of it now too.

OH, I forgot to add that the update changed the menu under EXP.  Now you can only tweak the mode you're currently in - LAME!!!

So if you tap EXP, you can set NORMAL values.  That's it.  Back out 1 screen; switch into SPORT mode.  Now tap on EXP & you'll only see SPORT values now.  So I'm guessing we have to get into Tripod mode in order to set those values.  How inefficient.  I find it hard to "remember" where to find stuff within these menus.  At least they are working on making it more intuitive.  Not quite there yet...

I haven't been able to find an explanation of what Cinematic mode actually does in terms of what it actually changes. Does anyone know for sure what happens?

I noticed a smother stop but i don't know if is turning smother too. But when starting it says yaw speed will be lower and braking distance longer.

Yes, it stops and moves more smoothly/slowly. That means you can't stop as abruptly which is good from a cinematic perspective but might cause one to hit something if this isn't anticipated so it's good to understand this behavior change.
