Today we're going to compare 
the dji fpv camera to the gopro   and see which one is more cinematic let's go Hey drone pros how's it going today we've got the 
dji fpv i've been flying this thing for two weeks,   just testing it out seeing what its weaknesses 
are what its strengths are this drone is freaking   amazing, if you're just getting into flying 
fpv and you want kind of a safer way to do that   this is the way to do it if you don't want to 
have to solder, if you don't want to have to   put together boards and updates and all kinds 
of stuff this is the solution for you but how   does the camera stack up to what's already out 
there in the fpv world today we're gonna find out Okay guys just a quick disclaimer anything 
you do to your drone do so at your own risk   so after tons of experimentation and research 
i settled on using the gopro 8 for our test   the gopro 9 i have as well but it's a little 
bit heavier it's really kind of the same quality   as the gopro 8 so we're using the gopro 8 for this 
test this test is not apples to apples which 4k is   better and so on it's more of which one can give 
you the best cinematic results that we've been   used to seeing in the fpv world okay guys the 
first thing up is frame rate ideally you want   to be able to film at 24 frames per second if 
you're not shooting in slow motion because this   is the frame rate that motion picture films film 
on that gets you that really good cinematic look the lowest frame rate that the dji fpv drone 
goes at at the moment is 50 frames per second   so it's going to give you that news type look 
unless you're shooting slow motion type footage   but with the gopro we can lock in that 24 frames 
per second sweet spot so that's a win for the   gopro okay next up is shutter speed in order 
to get that really cool cinematic motion blur   you need to lock in your shutter at double the 
speed of your frame rate so for example the dji   fpv drone would want to have a 1 20th of a 
shutter since 120 is double 60 frames per second   and to slow down your shutter since there's 
no aperture you're going to use nd filters   i bought the nd kit from freewell and it works 
really really well for the gopro 8 i bought an nd   filter kit and i use an nd32 for bright daylight 
you could also go a little bit higher than that if   you need to i then lock the shutter speed at 
148 since that's double 24 frames per second   luckily you can lock the shutter speed on both 
options so i'd say that is a tie in this category   okay guys next up is the field of view this is 
how wide the camera angle sees and it really   plays an important role in making things look 
like you're farther away than they really are   or just make them look very very cool so the 
dji fpv drone has a 14.6 millimeter lens which   is pretty wide for the gopro the best option is to 
shoot at 4k in the 4-3 mode and once you stabilize   it which will cover in a little bit it crops it to 
a 16 9 and it's still wider than the dji lens the   wider lens just gives you that true fpv feel and 
a greater sense of speed and proximity so i'd say   the gopro wins here next up is the picture profile 
dji has a flat profile option called d cine-like   so i turn this on and gopro has a flat option so 
you can turn that on to get more dynamic range   when i look at them side by side it looks to me 
that there's more detail more dynamic range in   the gopro footage so i'd say that overall gopro 
wins here next up is sharpness usually the best   rule of thumb is to turn off all sharpness on your 
device you're recording on so that you can apply   it in post the dji fpv drone has no ability to 
turn off the sharpness so you've got this baked   in sharpness look with the gopro you can turn 
the sharpness to the low setting and then you   can add your sharpness in post so the gopro wins 
this round alright now let's compare them side   by side let's zoom in 500 percent as you can see 
dji looks more sharp but as you remember we turned   off the sharpening on the gopro so we're going to 
add some in post now the gopro is equally as sharp   as the dji and you can also tell that the dji 
footage is much more noisy compared to the gopro   so i'd say gopro wins out on sharpness abilities 
and noise next up is stabilization the dji fpv   drone has built-in stabilization called rocksteady 
or eis so i turn that on and on the gopro they   have a stabilization called hypersmooth now i 
turn this off so the cool thing about gopro is   that there's a company called real steady and for 
years they've been absolute best way to stabilize   gopro footage better than anything else that 
you've ever seen but what is the difference   between say warp stabilizer in premiere instead 
of stabilizing using what is seen on the screen   it's stabilized using the gyro data recorded 
onto your gopro footage so this means you get   absolutely perfect stabilization on your gopro 
fpv videos this is what all the top fpv guys uses   this is the industry standard but gopro actually 
bought them last year and they created a special   gopro firmware to make real steady work even 
better the firmware is free it's easy to install   it's called gopro labs you can get real steady 
go for 99 and from the comparisons with real   estate ago and the gopro versus rocksteady and the 
dji i feel like the gopro is much more smoother   it just works very very well so it's like the 
gopro with real estate ago is the winner here   next up is bit rate bit rate is how much 
data you can record per second to your card   typically the higher the number the more you 
can recover your highlights you can boost up   your shadows and make the most of your footage the 
dji fv drone comes in at 120 megabits per second   and the gopro has a bit rate of 100 megabits 
per second okay so overall even though the dji   fpv drone has a little bit of a higher bit rate i 
think the overall image the cinematic quality of   the gopro is the definite winner here so overall 
i'd say that the gopro wins in color sharpness   clarity field of view and cinematic quality but 
when you strap it onto this bad boy it becomes a   long range super long flight time beast with lots 
of safety features and a great way to get into fpv   you might say well how does it fly having the 
extra weight on top honestly i can't even notice   a difference i can do power loops i can do rolls 
i just might get a few minutes shorter flight   time so hopefully this video helps you guys out 
honestly the camera needs some work hopefully   dji will come out with one we can stick in here 
or maybe the next platform will have a better   cinematic option but for now my gopro is going 
to live on the top of this drone and it's a super   amazing setup even if it might void the warranty 
and if you want to know the exact settings that   i use to get my drone to fly super smoothly to
