DJI Mavic Pro Platinum
I would not buy this product again.
I have seen many a positive review on the DJI Mavic Pro, and am thoroughly disappointed with the Mavic. It does not get the speed that has been touted, stick control is not as responsive as the Phantom 4 Pro nor the Inspire. Banked turns are impossible. In a moderate breeze, the drone is not very stable...gets blown around pretty easily. Nice little drone to putz around with (for beginners) and possibly do indoor photography or videography. I would not waste my money again on this product...go to the Phantom 4 Pro if you want a nice, relatively inexpensive drone.

Tiny workhorse
The best drone yet. I have owned them all - including bigger more expensive ones. I LOVE this one. Solid video - super stable gimbal and the tiniest footprint. Also - flight times are great 25 minutes in high winds. Love the controller. Cons: DJI support is the worst. Have not needed yet. Controller battery is a little weak. It will be low if you run through 3 batteries on drone. I would like to see it last longer. Pros: Better in every category than all phantoms I have owned. Better than inspire. Tiny tiny - did I mention how much I love that it is tiny....

Wonderful experience
I love the Mavic. I am an old man and never played with any remote controlled aircraft before. My first flight was just wonderful. In the beginners mode everything is slow and precise. Absolutely no problems and a great deal of fun. The carrying case included in the package is a waste!!! It is too tight for the two items (the Mavic and the controller. I would not recommend using it except for some of the accessories. Otherwise all is good excepting the instructions. Fortunately, I have found a great number of tutorials and they have saved the day for me.

Good drone, until camera condensation happened...
Good drone, really impressed with the performance at all levels... until camera condensation happened... Yes, the moisture condensation behind the lens front element made the camera useless... this is something that grew more and more visible within weeks of use. Sometimes it was only visible after flying for 5 minutes, even in clear, sunny conditions. Well, this happens... But the issue is - warranty does not cover that... Apparently, this is not a malfunction, so they were charging me for this repair. Unacceptable, DJI. Please honor your warranty!

Drone's OK, Service is Awful
Warranty repairs are exceedingly slow. DJI care, which claims you'll get accelerated service takes about a month. Phone calls to service usually take 30 minutes to an hour to get answered. Free shipping to and from service center is UPS ground, which adds 4-5 days each way. If you never have any problems with the Mavic, and if you never damage it, you'll be pretty happy. But, if you're depending on good support and service (i.e., if you want to use it professionally), you'd better buy at least 2 of them. Because one is always going to be in the shop.

Christmas Ruined! 3 Batteries...none able to charge
Have not been this excited for Christmas in 30 years... only to get my drone and NONE of the batteries would take a charge. To B&H Credit; the efficiently setup a Fedex to allow me to return batteries (still waiting on replacements)... couldn't be more disappointed in DJI for creating intelligent batteries that off-charged themselves down to the point of not being able to take a charge. Drone still not flying. 3 stars is for B&H on customer resolution... I can't tell you if I really like the drone because it's sitting on a table having never flown.

Portability is Great
B&H was the only online retailer that had the Mavic Pro in stock when I ordered. The product is great. I also have the Phantom 3 Pro which I've lugged around to Vietnam, Greece, Turkey and Costa Rica. I'm going to Chile next month and really didn't want to hassle with the huge backpack for the P3. The Mavic fits in my camera case along with the batteries and folding props with room left over. The camera is as good as the P3. Really looking forward to traveling with it. Don't use it with an Android phone, signal loss is a problem. Use an IPad Air.

The Perfect Drone
First off, let me say that I ordered this from B&H Photo because of there fast shipping. I ordered the Mavic on 6-22-2017 around 2:00 p.m. and it got here on 6-23-2017 at 8:37 a.m and I'm picked it up at 9:30. I selected Next Day Air and it got here next day. Less than 24 hours, I'm almost ready to order something just to see if it will come the next day. I haven't even flown the drown yet because it's raining here in Arkansas. It came in mint condition with everything as advertised. I'll come back with a review on the drone at a later date.

DJI HITS TECHNOLOGICAL HOME RUN!
I made sure to do intensive studying about this sophisticated machine while I waited to receive in the mail. . . and boy is it worth it. I couldn't be happier with this machine. . . dial in the settings and you can really get some good shots. . . tho I am a little bit disappointed in it's low light capabilities. . . this small camera can really get some big shots. This thing is very easy to control and the fact it hovers in place when you let go of the controls is a god send. Focus on the shot. . . not how the Aircraft is flying. Amazing!

Perfect for Travel, Great for Beginners
Amazing entry into the drone world. With this DJI Mavic Pro, you can get up and running shooting drone footage in just a few minutes, with no experience. In beginner mode, it is designed to help you learn to fly. Obstacle avoidance is great and the drone is simple to set up and navigate. The best thing about this drone is its small size and form factor. I needed something I could fly with and take to far away places without having issues at TSA. Remember to get extra batteries..one only lasts for about 15 minutes of continuous flight time.

It's a great version of drone
I haven't used it much due to scare of rules/regulations. I used it a bit as I was learning and it was great. What do I like? 1. Picture quality is very sharp and clear. 2. The noise level is so much less than the phantom. I was at the camping even and the phantom was so loud flying over our heads. However, when the Mavic flying, it was so quiet and can't even hear except I noticed it when the lights were flashing. Not like? Nothing yet but scare of flying in public because friend warned me about all the rules that we have to follow.

Amazing!!!!
Great flying drone. Easy to setup and connect to call phone. Its easy to fly and has so many advanced features. The images quality is broadcast ready.You need a smartphone to truly use all of the benefits this quad can offer. READ THE MANUAL before you fly. There are a lot of settings to adjust flight controls, camera, and the gimbal. Buy it with the extra batteries. Easy to fly, long flight range, very stable, 20 minute flight time, auto land, auto take off, return to home if signal lost or if you panic This is an excellent product.

Mavic Pro Combo package
I have flown multi rotors for over 5 years and have been flying a Phantom 3 Pro for the last 2 1/2 years. I sold my phantom and bought the Mavic Pro 2 weeks ago and really liking it. It took a bit of getting use to the slower speed but do not notice it now. It really flys and handles well and is a very stable platform for video and still photography. I would recommend the Mavic to anyone wanting a small form factor multi rotor aircraft. Purchasing the fly more combo gives you some handy accessories plus the 2 extra batteries.

Loved this thing until...
I absolutely was floored from the performance of the mavic. This drone is absolutely astonishing and is comparable to nothing I have ever flown. It handles like a dream and has features I haven't even scratched the surface on yet. One really important thing to keep in mind. IT DOES NOT HAVE BACK SENSORS. Meaning it will not avoid collisions when moving backwards in follow mode when chase is activates. Which will make it crash into your neighbors house and keep you without a mavic for way too long the day after you got shipment...

It's Everything they said it Would Be
Despite the circus surrounding the release date debacle and 10 weeks of waiting, this aircraft delivers everything a semi-pro videographer needs. I'm not new to multi-rotors and have many hours of flight time with a P3P. Portability is key for me and the Mavic provides that without compromising a thing! I've already been able to take it places that I would have never considered taking a Phantom! It's a precise flyer and really moves out in Sport mode. The additional modes in the GO app are nice. FPV is good with a 3rd party app.

Important Info Please Be Advised
Make sure you push the battery in without from the top of the battery without compressing the buttons on the side. Then battery needs to snap in. Check internet, many people have had battery pop out during flight. I did, luckily the drone was only up 30 feet, landed squarely and survived the crash with only some propeller damage. If my son would have had it above the buildings at the time like the day before the drone would have not survived. I just by chance was telling him to fly conservatively and low when this happened.

Very happy with the Mavic Pro
I bought one of the very early DJI drones, used it with a GoPro camera that I already owned. I bought the Mavic Pro for an upcoming project and have been very happy so far. Start up was quick, easy to learn, and an enormous improvement over my old model. I'd love to have a 20MP camera, and was hoping to wait until I could afford a drone with one, but the project happens soon so I had to pull the trigger. I'm glad that I did. Now maybe I can hold out for a 50MP camera :-). PS I shoot very little video, almost all stills.

Mavic Air is a great upgrade drone.
My previous drone was a Yuneec Q500 - 4k. It did a nice job of shooting video but lost its props twice, not due to operator error. It was also a large case, which was not a problem. The Mavic Air is a blast to fly and takes very smooth video footage. It was recommended to me from a colleague and I really like it. I have flown the Mavic pro 2 and it's a good rig, but for documentaries that are broadcast in HD the Air does fine. B&H are the way to go for drones as with most pro products their customer service is great.

In love with the Mavic!
I've had the Mavic out flying a few times now and I love it! Once you get a feel for the controls (which doesn't take long) this thing is a breeze to fly. It's steady and the video quality is quite nice. I'm still getting accustomed to settings but it's not too bad. There are a ton of YouTube videos out there to help. I'm glad I got the Fly More package. The extra batteries are a must and the custom case holds everything perfectly. I also picked up a set of ND filters but haven't used then yet. Get this thing!!

Boy, what a thrill
I received my Mavic just in time to take it on our trip to Maui. Before I left, I flew the Mavic approx. 10 times, getting used to it and dialing in the advanced functions I wanted. The ease of travel with the fold up and small size drone is just unbelievable. When on Maui I would fly around 7am in the morning out over the ocean looking for turtles and whales. I still cannot believe the wonderful images I captured. My two passions in life are flying RC models and Photography. This is a match made in heaven.

Lots of problems.
Bought this drone for its compact size and found two major problems. First, wave of ripples in every clip at every different setting and shutter is always twice the frame rate. There is even ripples inside the clip where the drone is not even in the air yet. None of the firmware fix the issue. Second issue, focus system is horrible. For the camera that size fail to focus correctly like phone cameras, pretty embarrass. There is no way dji produce product like this, must be a defective unit.

Love this drone !!!
This is my second DJI drone, and it surpassed all of my expectation. It's compact, great and easy to carry around when I'm filming weddings. Quick assembly, also super convenient. It flies smooth, fast, and professionally. The 4K footage is amazing. The ONLY negative I'd have to say is when connecting my phone to the remote, I have to take off my iPhone case in order for the adaptor to fit. Very trivial issue in comparison to the other amazing features. I'd recommend this drone to anyone!

An impressive machine.
78 flights so far and haven't crash yet --(fingers crossed) Easy to fly. Gives you more time to concentrate on shooting good pictures and video. Stabilization is over the top good. If you get the larger fly morepackage, I can't say enough about the Nanuk 920 case. It's custom for the Mavic and a must have, IMO. The Return To Home feature has never failed me. I purposely flew it out of range once, lost contact, and it came back and landed exactly where it took off. An impressive machine.
