Phantom 4 Pro vs Mavic 2 Pro - Which is the Best Option for a Commercial Drone Pilot?

Today's questions is about the Phantom 4 Pro vs Mavic 2 Pro. Which drone is the better option for aerial videography? And, why?

Our caller for today, John has a question about the Phantom 4 Pro. He wishes to buy a new drone primarily for aerial videography, and is wondering how the Mavic 2 Pro with its Hasselblad sensor compares to the Phantom 4 Pro.

The Mavic 2 Pro may have replaced the Phantom 4 Pro as DJI's flagship drone. But when it comes to aerial videography, we still recommend the DJI Phantom 4 Pro. In today's show, listeners will learn how the Mavic 2 Pro's inability to shoot in 4K60 can result in inferior drone footage.

Topics discussed include advantages of shooting at 60 fps, use of ND filters, and some expert post-production tips. Thanks for the great question, John. Fly Safe!
