Hello guys,
My name is Ciprian, I'm from Romania and I am consider myself an amateur "filmmaker" that likes to shoot wild landscapes and create documentary-like videos with Transylvania's mountains and wilderness in general, but also photographing such places.
Nothing too fancy, as I am new to drone movie making; my time won't allow me for too many trips a year and I don't intend to become a professional - it is strictly for my pleasure and my friends' pleasure, though that doesn't mean I don't strive to be better and better
That being said, I currently own a Mavic 2 Zoom with a Fly More Kit that I intend on exchanging this Saturday (hopefully) with a P4P+ that comes with 2 extra batteries and a carrying rucksack designed for it. I do not have the money to go better and, say, sell my drone, add some cash and get a M2P. That is a no-no.
My reasons for this exchange rely entirely with the camera of the P4P that I've seen to be much better than the M2Z, though this is somewhat subjective.
I never found the zoom of M2Z to be extremely useful in my compositions and the fixed aperture has been killing me ever since I bought it (I used to be a photographer for years, working with a lot of DSLRs). I chose M2Z instead of M2P back when I got it because I thought the zoom would help me for some very creative shots. That did not prove to be the case... sadly.
I process my videos in DaVinci Resolve and I have nothing against using D-cinelike or even D-log for P4P and spend a lot of time (more or less) to grade my videos post-production.
My questions for you dear pilots is if this exchange would be worth it given the reasons I said above. Some told me it is a step back.
I admit that the biggest downside is the portability, I think - carrying the M2Z for 15 km on a hike is easy. The P4P might not be the same
But that doesn't put up such a serious problem for me.
The camera should make a difference.
Thank you in advance and please feel free to share your thoughts on this.
The following links might help you get the idea for what I am trying to create, these being some of my videos so far.
