You gotta go try the active track and run through trees. Youll be blown away. The Mavic 2 pro will adjust itself like a wizard!!!! I tried it... and was blown away!! Seriously. itll follow you through the trees, adjust itself up and down, go around, etc... and the sensors are wicked good!!
Wow my mate nate lol
ฮ่าๆ คนนี้เชี่ยวชาญเรื่องdrone
พีเนท
So which one should I get Nate?
That thumbnail got me to click. Take note everyone, high quality thumbnails work. 👌👍
i think you mean having shotgun arms work
Indeed! That's the reason I fixed my thumbnails.
I'm currently doing sets of curls to improve my thumbnails.
New Tutorial Idea: Improve your thumbnails by going to the gym! :D
By the way, love both of your work! @TheFilmPoets + @ParkerWalbeck
Amen! Also hey Kyler lol, definitely sticking to my P4P and make the most of it before buying new gear
Is it just me or does the Phantom 4 Pro look much sharper and better color? did we really just ignore that.
Irrelevant... Phantom 4 adds digital sharpness.
yes it's true
I love the phantom
10 bit color is big tho
You must not be a heavy color grader ? When it looks like that out of camera it’s kind of a bad thing, you want the colors to be neutral & the exposure to be flat looking as this is better for color grading in post! Canon 5d has the exact same issue... Good contrasty colors out of camera but in post it’s a nightmare to grade
One of the best on youtube. Straight forward and informational with a little bit of awesome cinematics thrown in! Thanks for sharing Parker!
4:28 RIP remote controlers.
Edit: exactly 1 minute later RIP camera gimbals 5:28
Underrated comment lmao
Yep, total clutz!!
😂😂
1:34 RIP 4K camera
😄
Hey Parker, I noticed you gave them a draw on image quality. But in the side by side tests you were showing, the Phantom 4 shots looked a lot sharper. It seemed like that should go to the P4. Did anyone else notice that? Thanks for the comparison, man!
Yeah, forgot about the noise factor and artifacts...thanks for the reply!
Thats straight from camera. Sharpening in post is always better than in camera. after you grade the Mavic looks every bit as sharp as the phantom. Both amazing though.
@@fulltimefilmmaker P4P is sharper in 24, 30 and 60fps as well. The P4P is sharper than the Mavic, period.
an don´t forgot the body-color, one is white, the other is grey, white is much better, because it don´t heat up in the sun as much as the grey one does. this an the unfair draw by the overall image quality test. let me guess, 10 to 9 for the mavic.
Indeed, the lens of the Mavic are smaller and produce lens distortion which is corrected in the camera firmware and which leads to reduced sharpness. This along with the lack of 60fps for 4K is quite big deal for videographers actually.
I have had Phantom 4 Pro and now I own Mavic 2 Pro only for the portability. This one is missing for me a lot. Another noticeable difference is that the Mavic sensor have much darker image on night videos for same ISOs, which is very strange. Probably the sensor is not as good as Phantom's one... :/
Another great tutorial. Excellent assessment with pros cons. I went with Mavic Pro 2. Portability on my boat makes all the difference
Thank you for taking the time to make this incredibly detailed comparison. This video has informed my decision more than just about anything I’ve read or watched. I really appreciate it!
Amazed once again with your content. :)
why i am waching this, if i dont have the money to buy one of those??? :(
same point with u
Best Buy might have zero interest deals....just sayin'
Good point nice strat
Same!!!!
@@BazarrPl have the same and going to try a maverick clone see how it works
I haven't used either of these, but am doing a lot of research. I really appreciate your clear, level presentation and the range of factors you compared. This video was stylistically a great relief, on top of being very informative.
Dude.. thank you! New to the drone scene and was looking at both of these. Great comparison, things I didn't even know to consider.
Awesome video as always. Currently have the Phantom 4 Pro and was wondering if it was worth switching! Sounds like I'll be hanging on to my Phantom 4 a little longer
Wait at 5:15 the Mavic 2 pro’s winning count changes from 7 to 6.
I also like how, because they only took 3 seconds different to set up, he declared it a draw, yet gave a point to the Mavic because its flight time was 1 minute more than the Phantom.
I always enjoy your style of comparisons. Straight to the point, concise, and seemingly unbiased. Nice work
I love his comparison Videos to the point, fast pace , and good point of view advices !!! Keep up the good work man
4:10
phantom 4 pro is very good
very sharpness
I was just waiting for your video on this.
Love the quick comparison! Currently have a the Mavic Air and plan on sticking with that for at least another year. Thanks for the reviews Parker!
So far the best review I saw it on CZcams. Thank you
Depending on what your needs are. You can do a lot more with a phantom. It’s like a work horse. I fish with my pro 3.
We have this tweaker house that was stealing everything in the neighborhood so I put flashing red and blue lights on it and flew it over their house at night. Then I have a drop mechanism and I would drop lead weights on their roof at night.
I bought the Mavic 2 Pro as a backup to my Phantom 4 Pro. I literally haven't used my P4P since. The ONLY downside that I've noticed is the lack of 60FPS on the M2P. And I'm shocked that the noise difference is that low... When I started my P4P up it drew a lot of unwanted attention. With the M2P barely anyone seems to notice. Nice video!
I need help getting a Mavic Pro 2. It is very expensive where i live in Ghana but I always dream of creating awesome drone videos. Any help please?
@@nathan.ankamah Oh Chale, 3te s3n? I can buy you Mavic Pro 2 but you will have to work for me. Visit www.myafricanaffairs.com and contact me from the site...I don't want to post my contact here.
As a Newbie to the Hobby, and actively thinking of buying one, this was one the best Videos on the subject that I have seen - informative (devoid of too much jargon), concise, pithy, articulate and clear & comprehendible delivery. Well done and Thnx.
Parker, Thanks for all your hard work, amazing quality content as always!
Absolutely incredible video production here, LOVE your intros - an inspiration for my own channel, I've got a lot to learn!!
Great video! Definitely need to save up for a drone!
I'd recommend the mavic mini! I have had it for 6 months, I've flown it over 100 times, 55 total hours. It's the best beginner drone, it's only 500 bucks and it shoots 2.7k! Best purchase I have EVER made in my life.
@@za.1624 ok thx
thanks for the summery parker..very informativ in a short time..love it and keep doing with your amazing work
Best clean and proper review on drones ive seen so far. Great to know a bit more about the mavic 2 pro only
Excellent comparison and that intro...damn.. I also have both Mavic 2’s and the Phantom 4 Pro Plus.. I personally find the setup time for the P4P+ to be much faster than any Mavic.. it’s the display.. unfold it and turn it on. If there’s one thing I absolutely hate about Mavic drones it’s having to wrestle my phone in to that stupid controller. I have to first remove the phone from the case and close all the open apps and open the GO app. For me this takes twice as long as simply putting the props on the P4P+ my dream would be a Mavic 2 Pro with a built in display on the controller...
Yeah, if they shipped the Mavic with the same controller as the Phantom, I'd be all over it.
I agree! I finally upgraded my phone and kept my old one strictly for my mavic. Makes things alot easier now. I just keep it in airplane mode and removed all programs aside from the DJI app.
I wish i got the pro + back in the day. It really is a hassle to always pull out that extra cable.
Good to see a Really good comment! A lot of people chat a lot of pointless bullshit LOL
Best comparisons on CZcams hands down! Parker is more precise and unbiased then Devin Supertramp, Peter McKinnon, MKBHD, or anyone of the likes! He actually puts time, effort, and quality into every video he does!
Lol while your comment may be true for this video and a lot of his content, lets not forget those canon reviews with one of them being a paid canon promotion. He should have destroyed those cameras (I understand why he wouldn't, as he wants further relationship opportunities with canon, as would I). But while Parker is one of my most favorite youtubers, and has some of the best content I've seen (fanboy myself), I have to say as a fan that his canon videos were definitely not unbiased. While he did give cons for the cameras, those points weren't hit enough as much as they should have been.
I don't know how anyone could recommend any canon camera at this point other than the c100 series and the 1dx ii. The quality is just not there from canon (which saddens me). Color science isn't a major problem if you do your homework for sony and panasonic (look at my content and tell me if you think the colors in-camera look bad). I believe he even said 4k isn't important, which is beyond horrible advice. Yes 4k doesn't always = guaranteed better quality, but with canon's horrible codec and 1080p processors, I can say that if I had bought a canon camera with no 4k, horrible codec, and poor noise performance, my content wouldn't nearly look as good as it does, other than the colors looking 10% better had I bought a canon.
Why does 4k matter? Because of the internet's compression, that's why. Cause once that image hits the 1080p compression from youtube, your image looks like crap. Also, the future of 4k on monitors and laptops will effect your content.
Have you ever watched MKBHD?
Parker just gotta tell ya, found your channel yesterday and have binge-watched a majority of your videos. You're a straight baller and I really appreciate all of the free content that you share - I also greatly admire your marketing prowess and how you tie part 2 videos into your FTT course...shrewd moves playa lol
All of that aside I look forward to hopping into your course in a few months. Going through a career change at the moment but will be in there for sure when the time is right.
God bless 🤙🏻
Thank you! I’ve been waiting for this.
"Do you even lift bro?"
- Mr. Walbeck @ 1:25
For better shots, speed, wind resistance, and better tracking and range go for phantom. But for cheaper, more portable, and smaller more nimbal drone, go mavic
Better shots? Phantom doesn't have 10 bit color. Mavic looks way better lol.
It is really helpful!!!
Thank you Parker...
Thank you it was very helpful in making up my mind awesome job keep up the good work bro
Great comparison and now can stop worrying if I need to get the Mavic Pro. I am very happy with my P4P. Thanks!

In my my P4P vs Mavic-II Pro shootout tests, the P4P clearly resolves more detail. The P4P does a full pixel readout, 14mp in 16x9 4k while the Mavic-2 Pro line skips.
Thats wrong, phantom 4 pro always gives you digitally sharped video, which people thinks oh thats more details its providing, mavic 2 pro gives u a cinemetic video, which is less sharped but its good, mavic 2 pro is better in camera overall !
Great video. I wish way more of the info vids on YT were this good. Professional, high quality, and to the point.
i love how you like to see the points in different products
Wow you answered my Questions..Great Video.Wait for the Phanthom 5.🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 Hope is Smaller..DJI,,PLEASE??????
Jajaja I have heard AUDIOJUNGLE in the beginning, saludos desde Colombia.
@@fulltimefilmmaker parker! I admire you so much, I dont underdtand english very well, I speak spanish. but I have watched all your videos... I have shoot a real state video today and it was great, thanks to you.
Any idea about the name of that track on audiojungle ?
Yeah! Check this audiojungle.net/item/sports/22001229?s_rank=23 is no the same but very similar.
Always love your comparisons. No bullshit, no youtube hype, no bias, just straight facts from someone who's educated and experienced with these tools.
Great comparison video, Parker!...Well done!
Parker, I have heard that the Mavic 2 Pro's sensor is hampered by its use of Line Skipping, and its sensor''s alleged tendency to overheat. Can you advise on those matters of chatter? Thanks so much! Cheers,
I have both but I prefer my p4p v2.0.
I really like your review of these two drones. I own a media company and we’re preparing to take our video to the next level by adding drones so thank you. Because these are the two drones we we’re looking at.
Thank you ...this helped me decide what drone to buy.
That’s the most sexy intro I have ever seen in my whole life.
audiojungle watermark in first seconds...lol xD
Haha lol. When he buys 2 1.5k drohnes, he doesn't have 10 $ to pay for a legit licence
Parker videoa never stop to amuse me. Man, you're just so awesome
Came across your review, as I’m in the market for a drone and looking at business opportunities. Your review was very professional and informative! DJI continues to evolve and so do we as operators, so it’s no big deal a feature wasn’t mentioned. Obviously, you’re good at your craft and I wish you continued success!!! A definite thumbs up and subscribed!
So Mavic gets points in 2 categories for tracking? Hmmm.
I own a phantom 4 and was considering swapping to the Mavic, I'm so pleased to see this comparison, great work!
My two cents. Straight out of the camera, I much prefer the footage from the Phantom. I also tend not to grade drone footage too heavily (Or anything for that matter) so 8-bit doesn't bother me too much. The big thing for me would be portability, it's a pain having to lug the Phantom's box around, BUUUT the controller is far better and I love having a screen built it, the battery life on the controller is also stellar, so that I think has swung me to keeping my phantom. Though I'll probably buy the Mavic if I get a job where I need to go out of the country (Shh, don't tell my wife) Great vid!
Awesome man! Was waiting for this review!
Thank you so much for sharing with us 🙏
Phantom is a clear winner in giving you the best image. The detail is much more significant filming landscape and the phantom holds more detail in the shadow as well. Also, it's a lotttt more color accurate which matters. Personally, all the assist features limits your ability to grow. Learn how to track a subject properly, steady your hands. The hyperlapse feature is really unusable. Solid drone but don't be fooled by the inane amount of features. At the end of the day, image quality is most important.
Tue mavic wins clearly, 10bit gives much more information in shadows and highlights as you could see in the test... portability is clear and for us traveller a huge point, clear mavic again. You can turn off the sensors if you don't want them, but it's ofc a plus feature for the mavic. The colour is just so close by each other, I found the mavic to look nicer, that's opinion. You have all the new features with timelapse and following which add as a rounder product... there is no discussion that for a "average traveller or filmmaker", the mavic is clearly best. And if you want high level quality, you won't go with a phantom, u will get a inspire as there is a difference
How do you know if its more color accurate if you weren't actually there? Oh right, you dont know what you are talking about.
Colours are better on the Mavic 2 Pro by far.. I own both and prefer the video especially on the Mavic 2 pro
Frozn Fire not true. Time lapse is basically useless 99% of the time unless you have a rare occasion with perfect weather conditions. Also I know big production agencies who fly with the phantom 4 pro on big budget music videos. It’s definitely capable of producing a very clean image that can easily blend with arri/red footage.
shaneth138 ok 😂 from what I’m looking at in this video, its more color accurate.
Great video. But 60% battery for 3 hours is totally acceptable, and you could/should be charged up before doing "all day" or "more than 3 hour" drone shots, anyhow! So that was not a fair negative in my opinion. getting 3 hours of shots for your 60% phone battery is fine. I also always bring external 20,000mAh charger with me, and I use a separate dedicated iPad Mini 4 for flying w/ mavic(s) and never use my phone
Thanks Parker, I'm about to invest in my first drone for my video business and I was juggling between these two (leaning toward the M2P) and you just helped me make a final decision. You're the best, IMHO. Keep it up.
You sir, have put an incredibly objective and informative video together here. It's no wonder you're incredibly successful. Props.
Come on, the phantom 4 looks WAY better. 6:43 just look at the sharpness of the trees in comparison to the mavic as well as the detail in the rocks. 8:07 sharpness difference isn't as apparent here, but the p4 colors look way better.
Take P4 if you want better image quality and 4K60fps
Take mavic if you want portability, better tracking and better object avoidance
Mavic 2 is slightly better then Mavic. Not worth upgrade
Nope, its just sharpening in camera. i prefer mavic pro 2 waaaay better. softness = cinematic
@@beatboxerjonasz2 i don't think soft picture of forest is cinematic. 4k means crisp pic
detailed? yes, but not oversharpened. phantom has a oversharpened picture
that sharpness in those tress & mountains looks awful, i love the soft but sharp effect in mp2, just like red, arri & other cinema cameras. I own a mavic pro & it has that same awful p4 pro effect, i just simply hate it!
At final comp, i always soft the image than it looks more pleasing & comfortable to eyes.
You guys maybe those people who loves their eyes to bleed!
4:27 lmao
Superb video! thanks for answering our questions and helping us learn a bit more to compare.
i thank you for the time u put in this vid i was almost going to buy the phantom thanks again
Remember that P4P only shoots 4k60 in h264, which basically halves your bitrate compared to h265. And you're actually halving that again since you're shooting twice the amount of frames pr. second (4k60 h264 vs 4k30 h265). I still sold my P4P for the M2P tho, as the image quality and portability is just awesome (the P4P controller is a behemoth, so glad to be rid of it).
Can you explain halving bit rate?
@@2dimples_dad255 its pretty much math.. While it is shooting at a higher framerate the data rate is the same. That means you get half the information per frame. That can sometimes be mitigated by compression but.. fact remains. The data rate is not increased to compensate for the higher frame rate so each 60 fps frame will have half as much information as the 30 fps frames in the MP2.
Mavics are for travellers and Phantoms are for people which think professional. But Dji made big difference with M2Pro
Mavic 2 pro destroys that argument now. And I’m very glad about that..
have you ever packed a phantom 4 pro for traveling? At that point you mine as well get an inspire...
I feel like DJI May discontinue making phantoms from now on because now it just feels forced and feels like if they do it will just be the awkward cousin to the mavic... plus mavic series is more versatile as well, for entry line (Air) and higher end line (pro/zoom) as well they have 2 enterprise lines for mavic 2 now.. thermal vision (M2ED) and standard enterprise (M2E)..
see its funny because meehhhe kinda predicted that the phantom would become dead and end production
Awesome video!! You answered all my questions. Now I have a pretty good idea of which to purchase.Thanks!
i freaking love your videos and reviews!! keep it going
1:30 THAT HURT MY SOUL 😥
How?
Such a dope comparison man! Been waiting for this comparison to see if the Mavic 2 will replace he phantom! Definitely want to grab the Mavic 2 pro to replace the Mavic air for my Channels videos 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
OfficialTimGreene I really want that Mavic 2 Pro never owned a drone before!
Yeah me too definitely considering this over a phantom unless they release a phantom 2 lol
That one inch sensor definitely will make his wedding videos even better quality, excited to see down the line how he uses this :)
I think I’ll just wait it out, I have the phantom 4 pro and it works great plus that 4K 60! I’ll give it another year before I upgrade...
That sensor size has me like 😬😬😬😬
Good, no nonsense review with the added benefit of your personal experience with the Phantom 4, thank you. This has helped me decide which one to go with.
you helped me a lot. thanks man. quick and all I wanted to know :)
Honestly most people are fine with the mavic 2 pro. The phantom SEREIS is just Too noisy and especially in the city. Where I live it gets you kicked out in 5 minutes where the mavic is quite and can be set up quickly and you avoid that fine.
4:29 lmfao 😅😅
I’ve learned so much from your videos, thank you!
Straight to the point, well edited video, thank you!!
I never got 30 minutes on the P4 but ok.
22 to 25 minutes top. 31 minutes if it just hovers in Mid Air without doing anything (which is mostly useless).
I would keep me p4p for one reason; the mechanical shutter.
Which the Mavic Pro 2 has.
pretty sure specs only list electronic shutter.
@@mharro88 no mavic does not have the mechanical sutter and looks too soft
@@user-pt6in7pp2y it's not soft at all? I'd rather it soft and fix it in post than have it done by software
What is the benefit to having a mechanical shutter in a drone? Sorry if it sounds like a dumb question. Just curious
Nice Video man! So on point, very helpful. Didn't lose focus for one second whilst watching you vid! Big thumbs up bro
You can turn off the bottom sensors and catch the drone fine. Just turn off right before catching.
THE PHANTOM IS BETTER!!!!!!!!
How can mavic win in price when you choose to buy the more expensive controller??????
BS!
Both drones are the same price if you're using your phone!!!!
@@benlin7426 Good point
No their not
of course he was paid to sell the MP2.
thnx parker this is kessah king frm uganda africa we appreciate the works bro ..u have fan base this side big up ..
I haven't watched to many of your information videos yet but I have to say that was extremely well done and informative. You answered all the
questions I was wondering about. good Job and very professionally done. thanks very much I can't wait to get my Mavic 2 Pro. :)
Someone flexin in the thumbnail aye?
5.14 - 5:15 you took one point from mavic 2 pro
Great review, thanks. I use iPad Mini with my Mavick Pro, so less impact on battery. Make sure your iPad is the Cellular version, as only that has GPS sensor, which is needed if you want to track the controller via GPS.
Great job. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
I wanna sell my hourse to buy this！😂
"this is an unbiased video" 20 seconds later "the phantom is quicker to get up in the air but I'm not going to pick a winner" 😂
Just came across your channel and I love this particular video comparison of the Mavic 2 Pro and Phantom 4 Pro. Good comparison and top notch video. I'm a subscriber of now!
Great review - in-depth and to the point -
I think that phantom 4 gives a sharper image quality, more powerful than mavic 2 😅😅😅
I don’t care about the drones. I’m just here for those bulging arms 🥴
Thanks Parker, great comparison! I use my P4P2 for real estate work but upgrading from original Mavic to M2P so my travel images look great too.
Thanks for the review, I like how u presented the content. God bless
5:07 thats becouse it is iphone
Everyone please Do your own research before buying. Don’t listen to him, this is a Terrible review! Sounds VERY paid for, not real life comparisons, just to push a new product. I like how you purposely blow out some of the phantom’s shots, yeah that’s fair. 👎🏼 What about the weird focus breathing that the mavic 2 pro does while it’s flying, it totally destroys the shots. But you didn’t include that in your video, it’s a major glitch and you refuse to address it. Try giving a real review, don’t just peddle someone’s inferior product (mavic pro 2) and claim it to be so much better.
You definitely live up to your name! Personally, I'm just a guy that has never owned a high quality drone. I am a home inspector and recently purchased a $100 quad to practice with. I have been watching every darn drone video comparison out there right now. This video actually made me think the P4P would be the one for me. I didn't see any bias toward the MP2 at all. I am just looking for a drone that has great resolution for still shots ( roofs ) with safety sensors 'cuz my biggest worry is crashing through somebody's window.
Certainly that he was paid to sell MP2.
Awesome comparison. Still so stoked to own a Phantom 4 pro plus...Such amazing products.
An honest and thorough review Parker. Great job, thank you!
