DJI Mavic 2 Zoom
Takes some getting used to, but worth the effort
I've been a DJI guy since the Phantom 1, and I've enjoyed every one of them. I've drowned 2 and another ate a tree (all my fault) and had another do a fly-away. (Maybe it heard of my history and couldn't wait to escape). Point is, I like these and when I lost the Inspire to a fly-away, I decided to bite the bullet and jump back in. When I read about the Mavic 2 Pro, I was torn between the standard and the zoom, but the fact the camera on the stan... Show More

From Phantom 4 SE to Mavic 2 Zoom
Its awesome. Theres no denying it. I upgraded because of having lost my Phantom 4 Special Edition Black on a failed Litchi waypoints mission. I was devastated. I use drones for both personal and professional purposes, so I didnt want to be without one in case of a paid opportunity. It was about a month from black Friday, so I was wondering if DJI was going to put the new Mavics on sale, but through some searching, found out that none of the newe... Show More

Great hardware, Terrible GEO-Zone Software
I had high hopes for this but it is not working for my needs. For starters, DJI has still not updated the basic Android OS on the Smart Controller from the beta version, that should tell you where this is going Up until I ordered my DJI setup from B&H in late July, I had been sub contracting out drone pilots to provide that avenue of content creation on various commercial jobs. I had refrained from getting one my self because I did not feel the... Show More

Good camera upgrade, but...
For my purposes, I was mostly ok with Mavic 1 as a flying machine. The biggest thing that bothered me about it was the camera with its fixed aperture and all the artifacts and other problems that were contained in the video footage. The Mavic 2 Pro's camera is definitely an improvement. Here are a couple of changes in Mavic 2 from Mavic 1 though that I'm not so happy with: 1. One of the features on Mavic 1 that I really relied on was the abi... Show More

Excellent drone, but image quality not stellar
As an FAA certified sUAS operator, and professional photographer, I use this drone for commercial imaging projects - mostly stills, occasional video. When this model, with Hasselblad camera came out, I sold my Phantom 4 Pro, as it was simply too large to transport from job to job, and I was excited about the potential for brilliant images with the Hasselblad camera. The smaller form factor of this aircraft is fantastic. The operation is perfect ... Show More

Worth the Wait!
I'm a long time DJI Phantom flier/user/owner. Started out with version 2.0 and now own two 4Pros. As a photographer, the camera quality was a must for me but traveling as much as I do, it could get cumbersome hauling camera gear, Drone gear, and clothes. So prior to two trips to Alaska and Sicily, I bought the Mavic Pro due to it's compactness and easy to travel with. I knew it would be a downgrade on photo quality compared to my Phantoms but som...

Great upgrade!
I upgraded to the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom from a Phantom Advanced 3. I love all of the smart flying features this drone gives along with the lossless 2x zoom. Anyone who is looking to upgrade, this is the way to go. The zoom wasnt the selling point but it has proved itself worth the money. I also wasnt very familiar with all of the sensors since the P3A didnt have many but this Mavic 2 seems nearly impossible to crash with the technology sensors, it is ... Show More

Manual Will Not Tell You How to Operate It
I have not yet flown my Mavic 2 Pro with Smart Controller, but I have a few hundred hours flying other DJI products commercially. From this experience I realized it's a good idea to try and and review the manual for the controller and aircraft, either before the first flight or just after you fly it the first few times. Eventually, something will go wrong, or you'll get an unexpected result, or you'll want to know how to tell it to 'orbit' you wh... Show More

To zoom or not to zoom, that is the question.
I struggled for a while between the M2 Zoom and the M2 Pro. I am a Part 107 pilot and do aerial work for money. Ultimately, it came down to the ability to zoom that won me over to the M2 Zoom. Six months (and about 12 paid gigs) later, I am happy that I went with the Zoom. I have used this function for some pretty creative shots that clients have been thrilled with. The Dolly Zoom is very easy to over-do; however, in the right circumstances, it... Show More

Simplified my arial photography
I needed to repair my Inspire Pro but the cost of repairing it was almost as much as buying a new Mavic 2 Pro. I made my final decision based on the quality of the camera on the Mavic 2 Pro. Its as good and better in some instances as the X5 camera on the inspire Pro. As it turns out buying the Mavic 2 Pro was was good decision for even more reasons: 1. the technology in the Mavic is far superior to the Inspire, active obstacle avoidance and inte... Show More

Crash on second flight. Not a very happy camper.
The thread in the Mavic Pilot forum is a complete dissection of my experience with this new drone. Had it two days and two spontaneous crashes. Looks like the right rear motor failed yet recovered. I would be very cautions about using it over people until this error is researched. I would love to give it a better review. It is in the hands of DJI now. Will be calling B&H soon if I do not get resolution. Thread includes videos and dissection of d... Show More

NO mapping or 3D modeling apps for Smart Controller
First, the drone itself is great. But this review is primarily to let others know that as of June 2019 there are NO apps for mapping or 3D modeling that will work on the Smart Controller. Even DJI's software, DJI GS Pro will not work with the Smart Controller! DJI says you can install 3rd party apps, but it does not make it clear that the Smart Controller uses a modified Android OS, so NONE of the current apps will work. This means that you are l...
