Serious editors will also be pleased that D-Cinelike is an option, and video can be captured using H.265 or H.264, while both stills and video benefit from touch-to-expose, exposure lock and manual exposure options, so the camera provides as much creative control as most need, and in my short testing time I found the quality comfortably above anything in the price bracket. (Note: 1/2-inch is a diagonal measurement, so it’s actually a quarter the area of the Mavic 2 Pro’s 1-inch sensor) The 1/2-inch sensor is a little bigger than the 1/2.3-inch found on the Air. You can shoot in standard or 48-megapixel mode – the fact there is a distinction could be argued to be something of an indictment of quad-Bayer filters, but DJI seem to have mastered the demosaicing to make decent HDR video footage and 48-megapixel stills (which save at over 18Mb as JPEG). That memory, by the way, should be a last resort, as some features use it. Video and photos, as well as panoramas and time-lapse videos (which are processed when captured) can also be downloaded from the SD card later, or, if you use the drones local 8Gb storage, via the aircraft’s USB-C port.
Ultimately, though, the fact the processing of these very sharable clips takes place in the app is no real issue – that’s probably where you’ll share them from!
It’s not difficult, and a familiar step to DJI users, but it can still add some frustration. The downloading and post-processing required for the QuickShots limits them to 30fps which is fine, but it is irksome that you need to save enough battery in the drone – and keep it and the controller on – for the transfer to the app (and your phone). On the plus side, mini-tutorials for the QuickShots are handy and not at all intrusive, and the collision sensor ‘hot spots’ at the top and bottom of the screen are handy without being obtrusive. Once you’re used to it, though, it’s a non-issue. When you can see Pano, Camera slides off the top. Switching camera modes brings up a pop up menu with the different options to choose (Camera, Video, QuickShot, Hyperlapse, and – though you can’t immediately see it without scrolling – Panoramas. Personally I prefer DJI GO 4, if only for the battery meter. It’s designed for less experienced pilots, removing screen clutter and adopting a styling more akin to a phone’s camera app.

DJI Flyįirst seen with the Mavic Mini, this is a distinctly less ‘busy’ variant of DJI’s control software making it easier to find the functions you need.

It automatically switches radio channels to offer up to 10km range – not something I can test in the UK, but I can say that the gorgeous HD 1080p live feedback never seemed to cut out up to 500m, which definitely wasn’t true of the original Air. Inside, however, a much more significant improvement: OccuSync 2. The only slight down-side is that you need to support the weight of your phone above your hands, but this didn’t seem too problematic in exchange for the better view.Īlongside all the usual controls is a function button, which operates the LED be default. The remote is comfortable, and I much prefer having the screen above (as on higher-end drones). Under the grip you find a storage area for your chosen phone connector (Apple Lightning/USB-C/Micro-USB are all in the box). (Image credit: Adam Juniper/Digital Camera World)
