- PART 2 looking at "tripod mode" is here: • DJI Mavic Pro Review P...
A first flight/ impressions review of the DJI Mavic Pro and how it compares with the Phantom 4. RUclips hasn't done the Mavic any favours here with its compression. I keep getting people tell me it does have ATTI mode, well yes it does but ONLY before it looks onto GPS or indoors. You cannot manually select it. I hope they change that
For more check out my blog post at: philipbloom.net...

I'm surprised at the number of comments related to 360p. You're all acting like this is literally the first video you've ever watched on youtube... ever. You clearly watched the video before youtube had time to process it. Why am I even explaining this?
Right? Blows my mind lol
Black White Guy In America happens every single time I upload a video!
Riot ! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
There is so much i learn from every single bit of information you share in each and every video.
Especially enjoying this on a Friday evening with all my work wrapped for the week.
Every second i listen to you talk, feels justified. Every second feels time well spent.
Thank you so so much for all your valuable time and patience in sharing your experience with us.
Sanket Sonavane thanks. Very much appreciate the comment.
This is the first video I've seen that's shown the active panning up and down of the gimbal and I'm sold.
Your the only one on youtube that talks about the missing atti mode and you are 100% correct sir! The mavic wil go in atti mode when it does not have gps but what happends when the compass goes nuts, the bird will go out of control, this could happen, many cases are reported, with manual atti like, the p4 the pilot could bypass the compass and fly manualy safety is important! I subscribed
robin plas yep. It's a big omission. It is surely easy to add in firmware. I am bugging them about already!!
Could you please tell me one thing, if you connect your phone in the holder on the mavic, does your phone gets charged like it does in the p4?
no it doesnt and your phone gets charged in your P4? Mine doesnt!
Yes, i took a pic for you, hope you see it, did you try a different cable ? drive.google.com/file/d/0B7yFPFwrEVTDZXN4ZGJGN2N6SU0/view?usp=sharing
what phone?
I don't know about the other viewers but I actually like these stripped down reviews better than the more "formal" ones. It's really fun to see you go about the day as well and experience difficulties/good things or gripes with the gear and how you overcame them. Thanks for the video! Very enjoyable and informative (:
As far as VLOGs go...this kills the game. Glad you're back to the review game, Phillip. Your content is fantastic.
Thanks so much for this Phillip - you're the only one talking about the Mavic from a filmmakers perspective, not some overhyped 'tech blogger' who has no idea what they're talking about. The grading alone show's you're a step ahead. Thanks.
Loved the outro. Thanks for the review. I miss your old ones, but I certainly understand the work they took to produce. Wish I lived out your way, would love to lend a hand on these sorts of shoots.
Flying back to reveal stuff is much more interesting...great tip thanks
Finally someone who knows his stuff and doesn't just fly with Mavic randomly around like some vloggers that got it for free too. I love your review and I am looking for upcoming Mavic footage. Subscribed!
Such a chilled out background music. Great choice Philip Bloom!
Great review! I've still never flown a drone myself, always had a pilot >_< The Mavic seams like something I could handle though
plz buy and use
Cine community is so small :) You on Simon's channel and vice versa and now here on my role model's channel :D I also want to get a mavic and start flying. Aerial shots can add so much value to short films if you know what you are doing.
all the lower end dji drones are easy to fly with all their features really. learn on a drone without gps mode to become good!
What camera did you use to shoot your this vlog and what software did you edit with? I love the cinematic look of it.
That thumbnail is my type of aesthetic. That's why I clicked through to this channel. Great channel bro
Atlast, a british reviewer. Thumbs up from the UK 🇬🇧
I spoke to DJI at PPE & they noted that the portrait mode is meant more for shooting stills than video. They said it's ideal for those who want a high resolution panorama, where you take multiple vertical images & stitch in post. They say the drone is capable of staying still enough for panoramic images, which blows my mind. Hope this helps
didnt my annotation come up on screen during that?
Philip Bloom oh, okay. I'm watching on mobile so no annotation popped up for me
Your reviews are top notch. We are very fortunate to be able to hear the thoughts of a genius, as they happen.
I'm really thinking about selling my Phantom 3 and getting my hands on the mavic. The portability is just ... :O Thanks for the review :)
isn't the camera the same? Why wait?
The Mavic has a narrower field of view (28mm eq.) compared to 20mm on the Phantom 3. The codec is the same, so it's very familiar :) watch the review
Phantom 3 pro creates beautiful images ;-) I would upgrade only if I need the small size
I just did that and I have no regrets. Hardly ever used my P3P because it was too big to realistically take anywhere.
Tobi Schnorpfeil Filmmaker You should sell P3P ASAP. Prices dropping like a rock. Sold mine first of October after ordering Mavic.
I think I am your greatest fan in my country, Nepal. I admire your work.
Fantastic video Philip! Every Bloom Vlog gets better!
To be honest I'm not a big fan of drones. People seem to slap in drone shots here and there just because they're drone shots...Mister Bloom on the other hand really knows what he's doing, as always. And the end result is gorgeous, even if it's just a test flight.
Mister Bloom, I salute you for sharing your opinions and knowledge with such beauty and elegance! Always look forward to your postings.
Wow Philip, when you got those drones up far enough away from the details in the shot to have them move slowly enough for the codec to handle, the shots got quite fantastic. Pretty crap when the details are moving too fast in the frame though, wouldn't you agree?
To me it seems like this rough comparison shows the Mavic to be essentially the same image quality as the Phantom 4.
Hammerhaus Kennel v
I think it's the opposite.
When small details are going slow, the codec will struggle to tell the diference between two frames and will apply temporal compression.
But I might be wrong
Nicolas Gaillard Interesting. I'll give that some thought.
Yes, this craft is definitely being added into my drone arsenal. Very happy with the phantom 4. Has opened a whole new world of cinematic storytelling for me. Thank you DJI.
Great to see you walking about! So happy you have/are recovering!
Let me know if you are ever in the Shenandoah valley in Virginia and I will follow you around the whole day filming for you!
So I am assuming your using a lut for this entire video? I am super impressed by your production quality. How are you exporting your final file? MBPS? what video codec do you recommend? really trying to get the best quality out.
Before I finish this video I just want to pause it and say I would have no problem being apart of your blogs and "follow you around" as a dp
Thanks Phil.
I`m deciding between the Karma and Mavic,the Mavic has a lot more tech most of which I don't need. The Karma is a complete package with the removable gimbal setup etc.
I`ll wait and see what comes out in the wash before deciding.
yea definately a difficult choice, if you only have 1000$ i think karma is more value for money, but as far as drones go Mavic is the clear winner.
Phil G I personally would buy the Karma because I hate fisheye
really? i didnt know that. Will take a look.
Great example of what the two drones can do when filming cinematic shots. I wasn't sure which to get but now after watching various videos including this one I'm going to go for the Mavic pro, simply because of its size. I was very impressed with the picture quality and really like the look of tripod mode for shooting some really smooth shots
Do you have free or sell tutorials for color correction/grading ? Thanks / great info and video
ivan riobla
I'm also always trying to find that sweet spot in the DJI camera settings. I have the Mavic Pro on pre order and I'm really looking forward to adding it to my kit. The fact you can carry so much gear now in essentially a carry-on is incredible. Thanks for the review Mr. Bloom!
Best review I've seen so far on the Mavic! Nicely done! I look forward to more as I wait for mine.
Great work as usual. The end with the ticking clock as well as the charging, great!
I feel like I owe you a seminar fee for this vlog. A truly fantastic review and even a cinematography lesson :)
I think one of the biggest advantages of the Mavic compared to the Phantom 4 is that you don't see the rotors in your footage anymore. Sure the reason is the slightly lower FOV, but this doesn't bother me at all. Anyway, thanks for making theese great Videos Mr. Bloom!
The review is just honest. I like it. Been watching a lot of reviews before I buy my first drone. Subscribed!
Far better than Casey Niestats botched review! Thanks Phil
mine was still a bit botched too but I went back and tried again :)
Yeah cant agree more. Bloom isnt a lawbreaker and Neistat seems to want to be the first person ever prosecuted for illegal flying - and the bets are running at a 500,000$fine for him, because hes flying recklessly commercially without his ticket and losing his drones over populated areas. Im interested if ATTI has gone too. Philip im having a raging argument right now on the smoothness of yaws and also gimbal tilts which is critical for cinematic flight. Care to trim your new Mavic up and see if it can YAW smoothly and so silky TILTS. Even on DJI demo footage seem to blunt and SNAPPY with yaw and tilt always starting and ending abruptly... Love to hear what you have to say on this very important feature.
*Buy the DJI Mavic now with an AWESOME deal from the DJI store:* click.dji.com/ACP0mbVBQmxp2FxQnOWu?pm=link&as=0001
Pretty sure that's what "Tripod" mode does (slows down pans and tilts).
nope. that is not what ATTI mode is. ATTI mode is totally manual flying. No GPS. Drifts with wind etc. Much harder to fly. It is not possible to select it here. Tripod mode is different. Check out my new video which will go live soon. It covers. that.
Interesting review as always Philip. The auto-focus is a bit off putting at times, like when you were showing the settings on your phone and the screen was blurring in and out.
Sorry about that but you will have to be a little accommodating here, self shot, cannot see rear screen and my arm was throwing it off. It is what it is. As I say please understand I am not offering perfection here. That is why I call them vlogs as they are scrappier and less polished that my classic reviews which took months.
Yes I understand, I know how difficult & time consuming it is to always manually focus yourself. Just my two cents for just the shot where text was involved. I'm of course always looking forward to your next vlog-review. Cheers.
ok...just explaining that you need to be more forgiving for things which aren't as perfect as i would like them in these
of course
you guys do realize the mavic has manual focus.
love the battery ending part! well done
glad you like that bit! my favourite part!
Hi Philip, I'm a bit ashamed that I didn't discover your RUclips Channel earlier. I admire your work and am fascinated how "normal" you seem, in spite of being so "famous". - If you come to Dresden or Saxony and need an assistant I'd be happy to volunteer. I learned photography with the nature photographer Dietmar Nill, and I think one always learns a lot when working with a pro. Thanks for sharing your experiences and your knowledge on RUclips!
wth? Philip has less than 130k subscribers? He's the best in the industy and should have millions of subs.
i like the colour profiles you use, theres a bit of a matted look you have to your shots. beautiful. in the car talking about batteries is an example.
thank you
By far the best review on RUclips of the Mavic. Really enjoyed it. :THUMBS UP:
You've probably found out it by now, but i would just adress it to be sure that it reaches you.
The Mavic Pro does have ATTI mode, It's just not an user option. If GPS fails or have issues it automatically turns to ATTI mode. (This therefore also works indoors).
Great review, I'll definitely stick around for more. Sorry if I've missed you adressing this, but i wanted to let you know.
Nice video, looking forward to more of your videos. Great cinematography all around .
Imo the footage looks a bit mushy. Good film tho!
Great review Mr Bloom! Always glad to see one of your videos in my subscriptionbox.
Just in case you ever run into the problem of wanting to create a YT-video without any idea what it could be about: Do a review of that Compagnon-bag! Even the shortest video will do. I want to get away from using backpacks but need something that will hold some gear without losing its shape or breaking my back. Also i dont want to look like a photographer (hope you what i mean). Therefore i would love to get your opinion on that topic since you suffer from having a bad back as well.
Anyways, really appreciate the fact that you make time to create videos for us to enjoy for free! Cheers
this is the first time i have ever watched you but you are so amazing and you have some great shots keep going
Thank you, I really enjoyed your thoughts on this. I'm interested in the Mavic Pro because of its size and portability. I think it is exactly what the market needed. That being said, I'm going to wait a bit and see what next year brings. I'm in the middle of swapping from Canon EOS to Olympus M4/3 to lighten my gear load. If the Mavic holds up, I'll seriously consider it for adding aerial shots to my hiking and paddling adventures.
hoodman makes some incredible launch pads that I recommend to anyone getting a mavic and its tight landing space. Its the perfect pairing.
or catch it :)
You've always been a great inspiration for us, Philip. Thank you for that dope content!!
I've held off buying a drone since they came to the mass market as I just didn't feel it would work for the stuff I do in terms of form factor and ease of use. however the mavic has changed my thinking and I can't wait to own one.
But you need turn on the transmitter first.
Would love to hear your thoughts again on the Mavic Philip. I am sure you will have some useful advanced tips now.
Nice to see a u.k review of this...
Hovermotion part 3 still to come!!
Portrait mode is for creating panoramas.
superb review Philip - you have an excellent conversational style! Keep up the good work
Love watching your Videos Mr. Bloom. You've inspired me and countless others. So looking forward to getting my Mavic. Would totally love to follow you around with a camera next time.
Do people watch the whole video before commenting....?
no
great video.. I like your stuff about the actual setting and getting a good shot and how it changes flying backwards!!!
Great review as always, Philip. One wonders if DJI has a plan... The 3-battery Phantom 4 kit with case and hub charger can now be gotten for $1250 US from reputable (i.e. well-rated) sellers on eBay. Even at $1299, if size isn't a big deal, this is a great price of entry into the professional level. (I have to admit to being tempted with rumors of shipping delays for both the Mavic Pro AND GoPro's Karma...)
Mavic started shipping today...the size of this is a huge huge plus
that auto focus really doesn't work well in the close ups and wide aperture. welcome back Phil. you've been missed
Thanks for the elaborate first impression! Great to hear about your experience with the different settings. This is going to save me loads of time testing and figuring out how to get the best image. :)
You need to touch the screen to focus. It's a new feature. It has depth of field
Are you telling me this?
Oh yes sorry I didn't address it to you. Unless you know this already.
well i say it in the video and show it!
Oh so sorry I must have written that at the point before you said it. When you were not happy with the visual aspect of it , while the video was still playing I wrote it. Yeah lots of the recipients of the early mavic didn't realize that feature at first and the viewers were complaining of a soft image. Nice speaking to you by the way and thanks for responding.
Henn617 my issues were not with focus. I said that straight off
epic review and commentary! Yeah I really hope Atti mode is added. That is a must for smooth shots.
I love all of your VIDEO Mister Bloom! great Job Sir!
Hey Philip! Good to see your back is much better now. :) Thanks for the review! I'll be looking forward to you in depth thoughts when you get your own to fly :)
How did going backwards make that road shot so much better. Love this review, thanks!
Aargh! I really want to watch this video, but RUclips only processed the 360p so far. I gues I'll have to wait then.
I have always enjoyed watching your review vlogs!
Glad you posted this! Love watching your stuff with you in it. Funny guy!
Great review. I am looking forward to any follow up you may create. Thank you for taking the time to run this.
glad to have you in my head....I'm watching the boxer....absolutely amazing man. You are incredibly talented.
Great Job sir Bloom! I can feel the work you've done here :)
Uhm portrait is probably for photos?
Bloom! Love the insta stories thanks for the review brother!
Wow you got it to look so much sharper on the 2nd battery charge. The difference is very noticeable. Before then, it looked so soft, almost like it had a software anti-aliasing/noise reduction.
Croo ookie yeah the picture profile settings are so delicate. Made a huge difference putting it from -2 to -1
Philip Bloom Definitely did! Valuable info in this video, thank you!!
Great vlog - I'm sure ATTI mode is not missing as I have seen a few videos where ATTI is enabled on screen.
Paul venning-pridham it is missing. You only see it on the screen when you power up and don't have gps. It also goes into atti indoors. You cannot choose to fly in atti mode. That is the point I am making.
Thanks for clarifying that. I can't wait for my Mavic, especially for the tripod mode. Keep up with your great vlogs, your one of the reasons I purchased the Sony A7Rii. Im always available if you wanted help filming/editing your Vlogs - Paul from Hampton Court -
Thanks, appreciate you putting this together for us. I'm eagerly awaiting my combo package too. I think they'll be shipping in a couple weeks.
The quick pan or the short pan at 17:28 seems little harsh or abrupt. Is there anyway to make the process smooth when making minor adjustments like that? Appreciate the effort put into the informative review. The video was way better on Vimeo. RUclips compression is very noticeable in the grass and leaves.
Its all about the Yaw sensitivity. Not sure if it can be tweaked in the Mavic settings =(
Fantastic as always. I look forward to many more examples of how you put this to use, and would love to see how you would compare it with the Gopro Karma at some point. Thanks for sharing!
Really like your style, both in the video (quality and production) and personally!
The Att mode is now called sports mode you can find a switch at th remote controler
Excellent information sir, thank you for sharing! from what I have seen in the majority of the reviews is that (depending on you're camera / video settings) like you said before, it's a fine line between great and not so great picture quality... practice....learn....practice..... try something else , maybe I'm wrong but the picture quality does not seem so great. I do like the way you promote the very small size of the unit, and the tight, close proximity that the MAVIC can be flown in.
Hello from Greece.
Olympos - Pieria - Vrontou.
Thanks for very nice video!! You are the best!!!
Boy I don't know, should I be second guessing wanting to buy the Mavic Pro now? Never owned a drone, was waiting for one that was more portable because we all know how much gear we already have to carry and this would fit perfect. Curious to see your next video on it once more tests can be ran.
Nice job Mr. Bloom. You've come a very long way as an aerial shooter. Looking forward to seeing the results when you are battery blessed. ;)
I like your approach! Looking forward to seeing more reviews.
Great stuff Philip - thank you for reviewing the drone with a more technical eye than I've seen elsewhere. Looking at the footage close to the ground, there's a ton of compression artifacts around the leaves and the grass. Am I right in thinking that's RUclips's transcoding, rather than the raw footage? Thanks.
What a beautiful review! Love your content :)
love the professionalism. rare on youtube thanks for the videos
thank you!
For me vertical mode would be exactly what's been missing! More often than not I shoot cover photos for A4 prints, and trying to get a vertical framing just cuts too many pixels away when shooting stills in normal orientation.
Thanks for your great review! I am looking forward to seeing your next video with 'good' lighting.
I have to become subscriber of your channel ,we need people like you in this network of You tube ,and the end was astonishing,Thanks Philip !!
thank you. the end? the very end?
the message behind charging the battery ,pretty cool
If you're in London and need someone to follow you around for the next review let me know! I'd be happy to help.
Your thoughts on Shutter speeds, is the lens as easy to mount as the p4?
Phil if you ever need someone to help, I'm on a gap year! I'd be happy to carry equipment or help film, would be good experience!
can you please post what settings you are using?
portrait mode if I'm not mistaken is for a panorama feature the drone has... i think I read that somewhere
best review of the mavic.profound and real explanation!
