Fake.

Sigh. It is a pity that Samsung is out of the game. Almost as much as this usual thread highjacking, whenever a new toy is out there. Let's accept the fact the summer is over in the northern hemisphere. Southern hemisphere follows.

I don't think they fail with such marketing approach and production/sales strategy. In any case, your point, Andrew, is pretty accurate on the way they see you and me.

G7 / G70 (Germany) and the GX85 / GX80 (outside US) / GX7 Mark II (Japan) are the best bang for the buck out there, nowadays and ever, so far... Albert, BTW, left his NX1 for a G7 ;-)

As already said, I don't see it in that way. I've never interested myself for any of these toys based in so small size sensors. Always refused to sign GoPro or Phantom-like signature. Actually, I've always planned to use something from 4/3" format to begin with, when not S35 as much as possible. This is the first cinematic outcome I've seen from such tiny category of drones. Really promising to my eyes. Able to shoot wherever a bigger bird won't fly. Without such ridiculous oversharpened lines to scream the use of cheap gear every time you go with aerial shots in your material.

Again from my native country, where DJI has invited a few reps of the 'Internet press' to the European presentation in the sunny Portuguese soil. Here's another sample of the Mavic Pro look. But, that plastic cover shouldn't be there to cover the camera lens when the bird is flying for sure...

Isn't it electronic shutter anyway?

You're welcome and absolutely right! https://vimeo.com/185182140#comment_14995977

Unnatural edges simply / always frighten me... ; ) Not colorful shapes ;-)

Take a look on this cinematic outcome... To whom comes from film realm, such called 'softness' (when not missing focus) is a bless :-) PS: Thanks for the compliments on 'I Cento Passi' (dal cuore : ) Speaking of missing links... our memory is, though, full of team work worries, past today. Such as two weeks of shooting to be repeated only because of a DAT tape lost and recording sound irremediably missing, respectively; missing parts to still be credited; €300 to remain as credit card limit in the main method of payment for (shooting) expenses such as mere flight tickets (main cast); the female lead character to be completely erased from the script made with so much love fulfilled by many only a few months before in order to cut off the budget and tighten up efforts or there wouldn't be feature film to show up in the end + the whole participation of a co-production team and checks to sign at one time and follow accordingly, go figure... Finally, all this became multiple awarded in Venice since a decade and a half ago, oh well, crazy craft this industry is *Phew*

Mavic e' tutto un altro discorso, secondo me : ) GH4/G7 (GH5 arrivera') anche qui :-)

Un pochino piu' sul serio adesso/a little bit more serious for now ;-) http://www.dday.it/redazione/17162/nuovo-regolamento-droni-cosa-si-puo-fare-e-cosa-invece-e-vietato

Above 2 kilos they demand for pilot license as same as the big ones with people inside... :D Oh yes, I am not seeing the Carabinieri or Polizia Municipale asking the same for it if you're playing with this Mavic, PRO or not. Anyways, this is funny: http://www.quadricottero.com/2016/06/enac-pubblica-i-criteri-di.html "#Enac pubblica i criteri di #inoffensività ma ci lascia perplessi...attualmente nessun modello presente sul mercato rientra tra i parametri, ne sembra fattibile un modello economicamente conveniente che li rispetti." Another joke: "Le parti rotanti ( ovvero le eliche ) devono essere intubate o costituite da materiale morbido"

In Italy? Si, certo : ) But, to whom wants better IQ, why Phantom or Karma...? C'mon :-)

It is legit :-) Here are other links with interesting and useful info on topic: http://www.shainblumphoto.com/2016/09/30/dji-mavic-vs-phantom-4-dng/ http://visual-aerials.com/mavicpro.html

Seems legit:

This time from my native country... BTW, that Roman temple seen on DJI video presentation is also a Portuguese location [ LINK ]

Too soft, here and there. Enough balance in some others. That's the business of the shooter. To balance the elements. Mushy outcome both from low bitrate codec and youtube encoding don't help, not even to evaluate either, the miracles a good colorist can achieve from.

Thanks for your post. Interesting soft 4K, sharp enough for cinematic inserts to be used if justified. I am sure it'll happen to be in the middle of a few professional productions worldwide. My beef with GoPro is also the sharp edges.

Peau supplies the best mod out there as workaround to the native fisheye: https://www.peauproductions.com/collections/peaupro-cameras

No worries, nothing against amateurs. I consider one of them to begin with. Only because I've decided to make this business for a living for more than two decades now, I just don't have videos to show in a personal account online on youtube, vimeo or suchlike. I am used to see my work melt in team work to be screened in Venice, Berlin -- two feature films in the same edition (2014), one of them awarded there made me proud, Sundance (also awarded in the same year edition), Locarno, San Sebastian, San Francisco, Hong Kong or London Film Festivals, among many others worldwide. Follow the IMDb link in my signature, maybe you'll find part of this stuff on youtube like yours. Frankly, no idea. Last time I checked (not fake modesty), I had to ask to put it out of there because was too early to sit in that distribution window; despite the fact we were sharing the same credits alongside a distinguished individual as Spike Lee, producer of the documentary, as well. Certain people are very proud of their work. Some others appreciate to run away from so many worries to occur in a daily basis when they tend to finally be over and you were in the middle of such. I actually am in this industry mostly because of my pleasure to watch a movie, so I try to have fun with the films of others as much as possible. To come here and trade ideas on toys with other amateurs in a deepest geek attitude is something priceless, mark my words. Nice piece of yours on youtube, by the way :-)

You bet! : ) In comparison with the excellence a standard like 35mm format (as well, sensor size related) with all the sorts of low-grade variants from 16mm to video has led the motion picture for more than a century to face our eyes. Take a second read in my stuff earlier along the thread (posts, likes...). They are all the same shit, more or less. As said before, they can be synonymous of fun, personal use, even some inserts (de)pending on certain circumstances and tricks. No more than that. A purchase can't necessarily mean a professional tool, as for instance. As same as a toy can be used in a gig if works. Mission accomplished. What's wrong about it? Just don't expect you'll become a race pilot only because you're able to drive fast in the highway with your brand new car. The F1 from 80s, 90s or whatever year you want will always belong to a different league. No matter what techie pins they will try to sell the fanciest new toy you/we all want to buy and play with. So far, at least :-)
