wolf33d Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Karma is now available. I think I am gonna get one since I have 40% coupon. IQ is incredible message from the video author in the comments: Honestly I almost left the shots untouched. Some I didn't touch at all such as the 2.7 linear shots. No noise reduction, no sharpening, didn't do any external color correction! With a modified 3x zoom lens on a hero 4 on Karma you see how the stabilization is: teddoman and Cinegain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Wake Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 it's a dream! can you post an example of modified 3x zoom lens please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Looks really awesome. If i hadnt such negative experiences with drones (ok given, it was a DIY project 6 years ago) this video would make me buy the Karma. Does anyone know to which FOV this 2.7k linear mode translates to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know to which FOV this 2.7k linear mode translates to? Linear mode on Hero5 is a defished medium FOV, so expect slighty smaller FOV than medium. Maybe close to 30 mm focal length? I am guessing here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Wake Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I wish 28mm on apsc equivalent (about 40mm full frame equivalent). Go pro can deliver something close to 28mm super 35mm? I will probably buy it if it can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliKMIA Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Too bad there is no linear mode in 4K. It's a deal breaker for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viet Bach Bui Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I looked at the video's thumbnail and saw the Karma fully extended sitting next to the Mavic completely folded so I can already guess which one the author is biased towards.

Cinegain Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 True that. Although I've got to admit... it does show that DJI really has some experience with their Phantoms, Inspire, Zenmuse, Ronin & OSMO. GoPro seems a bit more like 'uh, what can we do that makes the Hero5 more interesting to buy?' and in turn putting a system together from scratch to go with that camera. That ends up me kinda liking the Hero5 for what it is... then again, action cams is their field... but liking the Mavic for just about everything else. Maybe one of the companies should buy the other already. For the time I'm still not convinced by any of it, so... I'll just wait 'n see what the future holds. Maybe there's a third party (Yuneec, 3DR or something) that will come out with a smart 'n compact HERO carrying platform. Or maybe Xiaoyi/YI having a go at a m4/3 aerial platform.

Antonis Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Well...it kind of was to be expected that the Karma wouldn't be as stable in the air or have all the flying features DJI has developed over the years. But the point where GoPro totally dropped the ball imo is by not having improved the codec and overall IQ over the 2 year old GoPro 4... That was the one thing they had going for themselves and they chose to leave it completely untouched..shame.

No worries, gopro has another biased review to praise their product now.... ^ They had some other to compare with at least.

Emanuel Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Indeed, curious the fact in the last couple of months, there are more reviews involving GoPro cameras but, I see no review on Mavic Pro: https://www.youtube.com/user/wired/videos In any case, there was one Mavic unit for this Karma review. He seems to have forgotten to review the new DJI bird :-) shooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanuel Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 There are millions behind the sales air race, that's the reason why.
