DJI Mavic Pro (Fly More Combo)
Amazing aircraft!
I was terribly anxious to get my hands on the Mavic - I'd watched EVERY video on YouTube (I think), dug through the owner's manual, review after review, decided I wanted a different drone then came back. Then all of a sudden I get the email that it's been SHIPPED!! Uh-oh - now I'm gonna have to actually FLY it! Couldn't be easier! My wife was interested in the photography angle but said I would be flying it. Well, in minutes she launched the Mavi... Show More

Great, but bad build quality
Today is 14 days since my Mavic Pro was delivered. I've done 34 flights, all of them under 15 min just to be careful. I don't think i've pushed it hard at all, but yesterday i did notice a fracture on the nose. I've never crashed/bumped it, I'm always very careful putting it back in the DJI bag(nose up), and i haven't even tried out sport mode yet. It's also summer here, so it's been flying in temps between 20 and 30 degrees(C). I'm happy with ev... Show More

Best purchase EVAR
I absolutely love this drone. Not much to say that hasn't already been said. The portability is insane. I throw it in my backpack and don't even know it's there. It's just an absolute joy to fly. Makes you feel like a kid again. Then throw in the fact that it also takes really great 4K footage, albeit not as great as the P4P, but definitely can be used in professional videos. I do recommend getting some ND filters to get that shutter speed down a... Show More

one of the best camera items i own now
this product is great overall and easy to use . the bad things about it are the bag is very small and would enjoy something a little larger so i can fit everything in it and possibly 1 or 2 other things in it as it is very cramped with most of the stuff in it the batteries remote and drone take up most of the space . also i wish that the DJI refresh program would prompt you when you boot up the drone in the app. since you only have 48 hours to si...

Great drone but issue with gimbal
I love the portability. But so far there seems to be some issues with gimbal stability that may be a hardware flaw that they are trying to resolve with firmware. Follow DJI forum for all the sample videos that has this issue. Until this is fixed, it is just a toy. Don't get rid of your Phantom yet. Also, new DJI Go ditched Google Maps for HERE Maps which is inferior when it's working. Some Android user complain that you can get Satellite view and... Show More

Your life will never be complete without a Mavic!
I am loving this handy flying camera. I'm still getting to know the Intelligent Flight Modes, which I'm learning are the best and most stable methods of capture moving subjects. There are plenty of videos on YouTube of other Mavic pilots detailing how they work. The leather carry case is compact and fits everything that comes in the combo except for the car charger adapter. It's a little bit too compact actually. I cants seem to find a way to hav... Show More

Amazing product
I bought the mavic Pro recently after seeing one of my friends use it in action. I've never owned or flown a drone before and seeing how easy it looked to operate this particular drone, I made it a point to try and figure out how to use this drone without any instruction. It took a good 20-30 minutes to set up everything and get a software update done. Once flying, it was a breeze. Controls were easy and the drone does most of the work for you. W... Show More

Product is great, B&H is even better!
Awesome. B&H got me the drone in a few days. More importantly is that their reputation for quality is true. Every drone I ordered from other companies in the past in one way or another appeared repacked or at very least, opened and retaped. My dji from B&H came with only one layer of tape, original dji seals on each side of the package, and that never opened box feel.(when you open a box and you can tell the joint has never been folded open yet) ...

Fantastic drone
This drone replaced my Phantom 3 pro. To call it an upgrade is to understate what a well designed drone my Mavik is. I fly it often at the beach where there are constant winds and it performs perfectly. Controls are very responsive and the obstacle avoidance system works perfectly (except for very low light conditions and when in sports mode). The extra batteries are a must and justify the cost of the combo pretty much on their own. Battery life ... Show More

Packable, easy to use and superb images!
I am amazed by the Mavic Pro. It was easy to fly right from the start and I'm gaining the knowledge and skills to get great images and videos with every flight. Love the convenience of folding it into a small pack - I've taken it rafting and hiking just in the past 2 weeks. As someone who has not played video games or flown quadcopters, it is well designed and configured for beginners to experts. There are 'modes' that activate or deactivate cert... Show More

Excellent Camera Platform!
Fantastic drone! The Mavic caught my attention as being extremely portable, and yet it has an excellent camera along with outstanding flight intelligence! The perfect mobile camera platform for somebody, like me, who had never handled a drone before, but want to be able to have the means to get those great drone footage that one often sees nowadays. Flying this drone was extremely easy, and quite frankly, it was a lot of fun. I am looking forward... Show More

Highly recommend. I am ecstatic with my Mavic Pro.
My sons and I spent many enjoyable hours and days building and flying RC aircraft 20 years ago. I decided I wanted to get back into this hobby, so I bought a $40 drone to see if my interest level was real. It didn't take long for me to be ready for the next step.....the Mavic Pro. It has been a blast. The drone is way easier to fly than any other RC aircraft I have owned. The beginner mode and the auto take off/land function are very helpful as y... Show More

Sharp learning curve
The time between unboxing and capturing adveturesque content can take some time. Youll find challenges with getting comfortable with the interface and getting the drone to do exactly what you were imagining. Beyond that, youll find its hard to find time to dedicate to learning how to fit it properly, especially if you live somewhere that sees cold temperatures and a lot of precipitation. Calibration issues seem inevitable, too, and may cause you ... Show More

GET IT!!!!!
Where do I start! I've owned a Phantom 4 since it was released. When it came to traveling, it was always a burden, but with the Mavic's compact size it's to easy to take around. Recently took my new Mavic to the UK for its first travel trip and more to places to come. The combo is barging for the accessories that come along. Piece of mind knowing I have three batteries and the car charger if I need it. My favorite piece is the adapter to charge o... Show More

Best Drone Ever - DJI Mavic Pro
The Mavic Pro is by far the greatest drone ever; small, lightweight, pirtable, and definitely filled with features; way more than most will ever use, but alas one to have. The App and linking almost never fails and the GPS locks on allowing the drone to just hang in the air (even on a windy day). If you are considering using this or any other drone for business or commercial photography work, do check with your insurance company in advance, as ma... Show More

Too cool for school!
I don't have anything bad to say about the Mavic Pro. Much different from the plastic-shell quadcopter Phantom 2's, 3's and 4's, the MP is in a class by itself. The aluminum body with folding arms is as solid as a tank on the ground but soars like a falcon or goshawk in the air. No more calibrating (self-calibration), no more worrying about hitting things (obstacle-avoidance sensors) and landing is a breeze (although I suggest using a portable li... Show More

Easier and compact
I've been a phantom 4 user for over a year and the mavic is just as easy and so much more travel friendly. Its not as stable as phantom because of weight but it's battery life is better and you don't have to deal with the hassle of popping the blades on and off. If your a traveling videographer looking to add a few landscape wide shots or just want to have fun flying, this is your drone. I like the fact that I can use my iPad to fly my phantom 4 ...

Best DJI Product I have ever bought
This drone is down right amazing. I owned a Phantom 3 Advanced for over a year, and the features and flight time for this drone surpass it in every way. I love the size and ease of portability of the Mavic Pro. DJI scored a winner in this development. I used to have to carry around a large bag with my phantom equipment in it. Everything, including the drone and controller, fit in the backpack that I use for my Nikon DSLR. Did I mention that I can... Show More

Worth the wait!
The product was on back order for a month, but so far it is a terrific aircraft. I have only used it in Beginner Mode to date because of my limited experience, but it seems very responsive, and I feel secure when flying it. Make sure you watch some of the available tutorials and you're good to go! Reason for 4 stars - Maybe a little more printed documentation would be helpful, but not a big problem; you can download the user manual on the DJI site. The bag that comes with the Combo is a little small and I worry that I will break the propellers or something, but I will probably get used to it.

Great machine great B&H company!!!
I own a Phantom 3 advanced and love it. So i thought i would give the mavic a go. The setup was really easy but i did have some problems with my note 4 it drains the battery and constantly crashes so i now use nexus 7 tablet. The machine runs great but it is not as forgiving as the p3. It is small fast and easy to transport. Just make sure you have a tablet that can fit into the control 7 inch is fine. The range is about the same as my p3. The stability is a little better on the mavic. But what is making me keep it above all else is the 4k picture quality! It is excellent! Well enjoy

Dji Mav is the bomb!!!
The Djiav Mav Pro drone is out of this world awesome! Its easy to fly and shoots great video in all the needed formats for pro level. The clarity and cinematic shots are impressive and it brings out the child in you never wanting to put it away. Its perfect for on the go action. So far every epic captured shot has turned out fantastic! This drone is a definite buy and i cannot wait to use it on my next wedding film. I love how mobile it is too. Plus, the safe mode flying is perfect at anytime but specifically in windy conditions. You can't even see it shaking on the video.

Fantastic product!
This is my first real drone. I've had a number of "practice" drones that were basically toys that I used to familiarize myself with the controls, etc. The Mavic Pro Platinum, however, is NOT a toy and is a serious tool for drone hobbyists. Everything about it is well thought out, from the controller to the iPhone App. Images and videos are outstanding and the drone itself is really easy to fly, even for a beginner. Now that I finally have a DJI product, I look forward to many years of flying this drone and the subsequent iterations that will come out. It's that good.

Updating firmware worst experience with tech in 30 years
The drone, camera, and app (the flight part) work fine. However, updating the firmware on the various components is a game-breaking event. You can update with the app or with the DJI Assistant on the computer. Both are very inconsistent in their success rate. The update freezes and fails often requiring going through the entire process multiple times. A quick search of the DJI forums reveals that this is a very common occurrence. I have spent more time trying to update firmware than actually flying. Purchased 5 Mavics for my school and would love to return them all.
