Got it. Sorry, I frankly didnt take the time to see if he had a marketing bias. That matters, I agree

So his observations about bit-rates and FOV are incorrect? Really, I'm just curious. Not trying to troll...

I can assure you I'm not trying to start an argument regarding the 2 platforms. I've stayed completely silent and out of this discussion for many weeks even though this was a thread I started. As a reminder, I was there when Yuneec was 100% silent regarding problems with their cameras as a loyal...

I am now a completely DJI user having returned my TH for a complete refund (VERY happy with my P4), so I almost feel like I'm trolling my own thread. But this evaluation from only a little over a month ago demonstrates how badly Yuneec has blown it with their camera:

Thats the problem in a nutshell isn't it? If this was a company that had never before delivered a professional looking camera, then I could see this making sense (they just don't know how). But to release this incredibly well designed hexi-copter with great controller and features but then...

Same garbage, out of focus image. And it only took 5 weeks to get it back (more sarcasm). Obviously they have a very big problem and for some reason are unable or unwilling to fix it. Man, I am so glad I returned my H. What a mess

Just got them yesterday, haven't had a chance to fly since. But I have the ND8 from the same company and its the only way to get good shots in bright sun, love them. Shutter speed is everything IMO. This shot you attached is incredible!

here's what I oredered, will take delivery tomorrow: Polar Pro Cinema Series-Shutter Collection ND P4-1202-SHUTTR B&H

I love DJI d-log. I'm not always impressed with log profiles, depending on the camera, but D-log absolutely kicks but with Lumetri! Just getting started, but really happy with the camera, the profiles etc. The key for me was lots of ND, Receiving deliveries on new ND filters tomorrow including...

They look great. I haven't shot any still shots as thats not my focus, just video. But I'm completely happy with the Phantom 4. Totally

Yep. No matter how cool a drone is, if its camera is dog poop... you have dog poop. BTW BP, at this point I have to say I LOVE my Phantom 4. Short first run video shot at 4k, rendered at 1080, color correction with Adobe Lumenetri: I totally don't miss my crappy CGO3+ camera.

Small additional comment: we've had remarkably good performance in (moderate) wind with the Phantom 4. It drifts a bit because its so small and light, but while in motion I'm impressed with how it deals with wind. Once above obstacles, we've found gusts and sudden changes to be manageable. Watch...

Same is true for me now that I've returned my YTH and bought the Phantom 4 instead. All the camera quality I expected from the Typhoon H (but never got) is available with the Phantom camera. An enormous relief after 4 weeks of trying to get a solution to this camera disaster. Also, while I was...

There are no assurances whatsoever that replacing the lens wont reveal exactly what DerStig has claimed: that the camera is flawed from the start. If I knew for sure, you make a good point. But I don't. Frankly, I spent almost 2 days downloading raw H video files and examining them in detail...

I calculate that I got (before I returned it): Clip recorded: 2min12sec = 132sec divided by the file size (789MB) = factor 5.9 5.9 x 8 (Conversion from MB to Mbps)= 47.2 Mbps
