This is nothing special but I was pleased with the striking video grab thumbnail.
Mainly a quick whizz round fields to test (yet again) following Mavic Firmware updates which have vastly improved my preferred D-Log mode.
I still see some colour problems problems notably with green and magenta which seem to look implausibly different depending what you view it on.
With laptop too much green, on TV too red/magenta. Just right on desktop where I edit.
Laptop and Desktop are supposed to be calibrated same, 4K TV is problematic but video from other cameras look closer to expected on it.

First Mavic snow run
There had been snow showers in the night which is partly why some bits are whiter than others!
It seems crucial to get exposure right - more so than Phantom 3.
Even one click (0.3) too bright or dark and things go wrong quickly, fortunately it can be gradually tweaked even dynamically through a scene in Adobe Premiere but this is all rather slow and tedious.
I used the auto exposure and towards the end you can see it changing as I tilt up and down.
At least the change is smooth and probably better than spotting the required change and clicking manually in 0.3 steps.
Meanwhile a few stills I took were a little disappointing as I don't seem to have switched back to RAW from JPG following last firmware update.
Though I thought I did whichmakes me wonder if actually it reverted on its own, worth checking in future as JPGs have quite a lot of NR applied.
Still quite good at larger size - click it.

Mavic still issues
Still not sure what to make of this with stills, it seems to be hard work processing from RAW, but if you persevere the overall impression is quite good with very natural colours.
But even at largest size the resolution isn't quite there for pixel peepers!
It has become apparent that using RAW there's a somewhat serious pink spot in the middle of the frame - easily clicked away with Lightroom circular filter thing.
This seems to be widely reported though not especially obvious in a varied image like this (I have removed it..)
