Your the only one on youtube that talks about the missing atti mode and you are 100% correct sir! The mavic wil go in atti mode when it does not have gps but what happends when the compass goes nuts, the bird will go out of control, this could happen, many cases are reported, with manual atti like, the p4 the pilot could bypass the compass and fly manualy safety is important!

Great example of what the two drones can do when filming cinematic shots. I wasn't sure which to get but now after watching various videos including this one I'm going to go for the Mavic pro, simply because of its size.

I spoke to DJI at PPE & they noted that the portrait mode is meant more for shooting stills than video. They said it's ideal for those who want a high resolution panorama, where you take multiple vertical images & stitch in post. They say the drone is capable of staying still enough for panoramic images, which blows my mind. Hope this helps

Wow Philip, when you got those drones up far enough away from the details in the shot to have them move slowly enough for the codec to handle, the shots got quite fantastic. Pretty crap when the details are moving too fast in the frame though, wouldn't you agree? To me it seems like this rough comparison shows the Mavic to be essentially the same image quality as the Phantom 4.

If the Mavic holds up, I'll seriously consider it for adding aerial shots to my hiking and paddling adventures.

I've also heard that the drone can do an auto rotation around a moving object and tracking a person as you walking uphill, i.e. yourself or a person, and for me that's a game changer, can you make a video about that?
