Pitting the Phantom 4 Pro against the Mavic Pro in an upwind/downwind speed test. Not scientific by any means, just a fun experiment.

Honestly this channel is making every video I'm asking forrrr

[mookyyzed]

That looked like a fun video to make! But that horizon tilt on the phantom... pretty drastic. Loving your drone vids Ed! Keep em coming. Got a request tho. How about trying to stitch together some footage from each flight mode in a cinematic way in one video. I'd love to see how you personally would do that.

What is the sun shade you are using on your Mavic controller setup? Feel free to post a link, please. Thanks for the great videos, Ed Ricker!

[AjabberWok]

How many frames per second do you film at? Or do you have to do anything in editing to smooth out the video? I would have thought flying at >40mph it would be shaky video.

Subbed your channel the other day, solid info! Good stuff

OK. My samsung tablet is powered from below and the space provided on the controller is too small. 😕 Merci pour ta réponses !

Thanks for posting.  I haven't tried my new Mavic in sport mode yet.  Is that the DJI sunshade for the Mavic?  How do you like it?  I have been waiting for the shipment of sunshades to come in at the local DJI store.

[gavrielgershov]

Does the new looking icon on the bottom left of the DJI GO 4 app come with the new update? or do I have to change something in settings? thx

[stilmotionpicture]

you can adjust horizon tilt "on the fly" on the P4pro while holding down C2, rotate the camera titl wheel.

[MarkDigitalMedia]

Hi Ed great informative vlogs. I noticed your sunshade on your Mavic and was wondering what your views on it are. Do you recomend it. Or is it a bit awkward to use.

[sylviedesigaud]

super test ! mais comment connecte-tu ton ipad avec ta manette ? Je ne vois pas de câble Usb.

[Hunchedoverman]

Sup. Ed liking ur vids man.... doing great 👍

[HighOnYouDroneBoy]

Ed - talk to me bro. I can see that with both drones you have some serious horizon tilt! I have been thinking that this is a fault with my Mavic as I have been having this issue. I'm assuming now that it's actually due to cross winds?

[rickmavictime]

I have not field test this but when I had the older version app in my mavic. it would do nearly 60+/- now with the newer version app 4.0.4 with v01.03.0500 it records more around 43 mph was the old version accurate? or with the new version today is it Gov. the speed?

[Johnnymaldonado]

What are all the settings to make it as fast as possible I top out at 18mph

[gergc]

strange. I've seen speeds of 62 mph on my mavic downwind. has your mavic taken any prop damage and are you using any aftermarket items like leg extensions on yours?

[keelam]

Very nice. I would imagine you have the bug now about drones, before you know it you'll have a room full of them . :)
This is Marwan by the way

I find that doing a auto gimbal calibration when I'm about to take off on windy days on th p4p keeps that gimbal far more stable. I've had it up to similar speeds and haven't had it go THAT bad. Slightly off yes in sport mode in the wind, but that looks like you were about to flip over bro! Also c2 and shutter dial I believe in flight to make adjustments. Nice video
