DJI Mavic Pro Platinum
My 1st drone, I'm so impressed!
Ok, really, I had a $50 drone that I crashed continuously, inside the house because I couldn't fly it outside in any breeze, and every time it crashed, it wrecked itself. This Mavic Pro is amazing. I'm paralleling the boat while the boat pulls surfers and wakeboarder, from a mile away, after only 1 week of flying. I have 3 non-damaging collisions while learning to fly. One, into a soffit above a deck I was sitting on (no overhead sensors) and jus... Show More

Awesome Drone!
The DJI Mavic Pro drone is one of the most advanced aerial video/photography systems to take to the sky's! Ok, this may sound like an advertisement, but it's not. I truly get excited about flying this thing! I've only had it a couple of weeks, but have flown it several times. I am still learning about it's features & capabilities. I bought this particular drone because of it's portability as well as it's flight & video capabilities. It folds into... Show More

I was looking for new perspective...
My previous experience was with a value drone that was so frustrating to fly I rarely used it. After reading tons of reviews, it seemed that DJI got the right mix of features, ease of use, and price. After a couple of months use, those initial views were right. The Mavic makes it easy to get up to speed flying. Stable even in moderate winds. The quality of the photos and video are good -- the gimbal provides impressive stability. I didn't buy the... Show More

First time drone owner - Amazing device!
What can I say that hasn't already been said thousands of times. Simply an amazing little machine. I've never flown a drone of any kind before, nor used any type of RC device. I'm an old fart in my mid-50's and have been having an absolute blast getting to know how to fly it. I wish there were a way to make changes to the camera and gimbal settings and save them without having to power on the Mavic and connect it to the app. Seems like it would b... Show More

Over all a great product.
As usual B&H had super fast shipping. I love the Mavic Pro. I have a back ground of flying racing drones so this thing is amazingly easy to fly. It is super stable and hovers in the exact same spot with no drift either vertical or horizontal. The video quality is very good. The Phantom 4 is suppose to have better video but I don't care. This fits into my back pack easily and is so convenient to use. I took it snowshoeing yesterday. The one negati... Show More

Amazing
Having sold all my previous DJI kit because of nil support I wanted to give them another go and I am glad I did. DJI are slowly waking up and improving the support and quality control of their products. From the moment you open the box the Mavic screams quality and feels very well made. The test though is its reliability when its flying after all no one buys this to admire it in the box. Its important not to underestimate what this machine is cap... Show More

Great Drone for travel .....
- It folds up to the size of a water bottle. You can put in your backpack and take it out at a moment notice without anyone spotting that you have a drone in the first place. - Supper light nothing made of cheap plastic. - 4K video at 30fps or 1080p at 60fps is what you'll expect (I also have slow motion and you can reduce the pixel quality if you wish) - So many perks: front- and bottom-mounted sensors, built-in obstacle avoidance, TapFly, Activ...

Awesome drone to start with for fun or commercial work
I purchased the Mavic Fly More Combo (Along with the Nanuck 920 Waterproof Hard Case and landing gear leg extensions) to provide an addition service to clients. First, if you have any R/C experience, you'll be off to a good start. This is not toy. It is quick, agile and very stable. I have had it in sustained winds of 17 knots and it stays within a 1/2 meter of where you left it. Extremely responsive. The camera is what you should expect for some... Show More

small, smooth, fast = // Gets blown in the wind =
*I've previously owned the Phantom 4, so a lot of this is a comparison to that drone.* This drone is great. I love the size and I love how smooth it flies when you taper the controls. The ability to throw it in my backpack is huge. The P4 was an ordeal to take places, this is easy peasy. Build quality is good, it feels solid. It's hard to say something bad about review for a product so incredible. It's literally a flying toy that shoots video. It... Show More

Pretty cool!
I am a Realtor and bought this drone to get aerial photos and videos the properties that I am helping my clients sell. I had previously used the DJI Phantom 3 Pro, and this new Mavic Pro is so much better. The most obvious advantage over the Phantom 3 series is that this one folds up to a very small size. One of the ONLY downsides of the Mavic versus the Phantom (that I have discovered thus far) is that the Phantom supports using the option prope... Show More

Exceptional Aerial Filming Platform
I was worried about this purchase - how will it behave I a wind, how is the camera quality comparing to Phantom 4, is gimbal as stable, etc I have flown Phantom 4 ever since it came out so I have some experience with it's capabilities.

An exceptional video quality (better or at least no worse than Phantom 4), unprecedented stability in high winds (flown in 37mph gusts), spot-on precision when Return-T... Show More

Great for what it is! (Caveat applies)
I lost my first Mavic to a tall tree. Replaced it with this one. I still like the little guy, but there are image quality issues. Flying-wise it's great. Flies and tracks especially in wind better than the Phantom 4 Pro I usually use. However, if I want best image quality, I use the Phantom 4 Pro. Obviously. But I prefer to carry the Mavic, and it's more fun to fly. One thing that bugs me about the image is that there is a certain flickering that... Show More

Do your research
I have owned multiple drones and the Mavic Pro is an amazing drone in many ways and not so amazing in others. The main positive is the size of the drone. Also, the drone is super easy to fly and has very good GPS signal. The DJI app used to fly the drone on your smartphone is quite temperamental. I have lost signal with the RC a few times during flying which causes the app to go black and can no longer see where i'm flying and have had to use the... Show More

So far so good... but don't get the combo kit
I've had the Mavic Pro for couple of weeks and learning all the various capabilities it has. It's undoubtedly quality engineered and built. I look forward to getting some great footages. Couple of thoughts so far. 1. Don't get the combo kit. It's not that great of a deal. The included case is too small. You want to buy another case that can carry MP, chargers, batteries, etc. The tiny case in the kit can't accommodate extra gear. Get couple of ex... Show More

Fantastically awesome drone, but disappointing video
As a professional videographer/filmmaker, this is my first drone - once this form factor came into play, with the ability to add it to my kit without much concern for size + weight, I was sold. And it's an amazing powerhouse in a tiny package! Super stable, incredible flight modes, tons of fun to use...and just insanely small. No one will guess that you have a drone AND controller in the little man bag that this package comes with. The three batt... Show More

Mavic A Nice Toy Drone
Most people that have reviewed this all raved about it, some well known people in the drone community even stated this is the best drone ever. Well, in my opinion, this is an OK drone. It lives up to most of the hype but it still cannot compare to the quality and fly-ability of the Inspire. It is small and therefore very portable. But that smallness has an effect on its flying ability. Simply put: it is easily effected by wind, it is so small its... Show More

Don't be scared of this drone!
I had been debating getting drone for a while but was terrified of instantly breaking it and being out all that money. Finally a job required me to get one and after a little debate decided on the Mavic Pro. For such a complicated machine it is extremely easy to use and get the hang of. My first flight was terrifying but now, just a few weeks later, I'm flying with confidence and precision. The drone itself if portable and easy to set up and... Show More

Good hardware, bad software, unfriendly support
The hardware is good. But software is buggy. Support is seriously lacking. When the drone worked, it was very good. But its software was buggy and DJI is not being honest about their buggy software. I flew the drone out from a hill. The drone was always in the line of sight. At 55% battery, I hit RTH (automatic Return to Home). When it got close to my position, the DJI software took control out of my hands and decided to land the drone by itself.... Show More

Amazing aerial photography tool!
After reading all the reviews, I bought the Mavic as my first drone. It is super easy to fly...I was flying it with no issues after spending a little time reading the instructions and getting the settings right in the DJI app on my phone. My advice would be to start out playing with it in beginner mode but it won't take long to be flying like a pro. The thing is very smart...if you take your hands off the control sticks, it hovers, and gives you ... Show More

Mavic -The most terrific serious fun Toy I have ever owned
I have never owned a real UAS other than the Syma X5C to train on. I learned with it and since it has no GPS, it's not very stable. When I started using the Mavic Pro, it was a world of difference. Since I learned on a non-stabilized UAS, it was so amazing to fly my new Mavic. I love it and have had so much fun learning how to use it. All I need to learn are the cool features like tracking me, follow me, pointing at one place while flying around ... Show More

The DJI Mavic Pro is amazing! It is very easy to fly, and this comes from a person who had very little luck flying remote control airplanes. The hardware quality is top notch, and can't fault it in any way. The video & still photography is excellent. I really like that you can take RAW file photos, and not just jpegs. When you start flying, you can choose "beginner mode" which limits the distance and altitude that you can fly the drone. It also ... Show More
