DJI - Mavic Pro Platinum Quadcopter Fly More Combo - Platinum

Search “gimbal issues”, “video issues”, and “jello effect” and also, one by Sean Ozz talking about the gimbal not adjusting properly after moving left or right on YouTube. You will see major issues with Mavic Pros. I purchased the Mavic Pro Platinum back around July of 2018. I also purchased the Mavic Air in September. Without going into too much detail, let me just say that 90% of my footage are from the Mavic Air and not the Platinum, because the Platinum’s gimbal and video issues are so numerous, that I rarely got to use the drone for filming. I sent in the Platinum 4 times now due to one or more of the issues named above, and DJI has sent back another drone each time with one or more of the same issues still in tact. This means that these issues are so prevalent that they keep recycling the refurbs back to people with the same one or more of the named issues. I am about to send it back for the 5th time for warranty repair/replacement. If DJI doesn’t send me one that works properly, I will post an extensive YouTube video, AND I plan to post numerous posts on all Mavic Pro YT clips I can find. Bottom line, do not buy the Mavic Pro/Platinum. Air is ok. Phantoms are good. Mavic 2, not sure, but research on YT. But DO NOT BUY the Mavic Pro/Platinum. The gimbal issues are just too much.

Received the drone and it is very easy to fly. Within the first day, I was taking it on nice flights shooting video and taking pictures. This is where it went bad. The Gimbal started to try and calibrate/reset itself during flight. Have video evidence. Called DJI and explained the issue and they recommended sending it back for analysis. They provide the shipping label and make it easy. Once they received it they sent me an invoice for $230 to fix the Gimbal Bracket and two arms????? I had to dispute the invoice and now we are going back and forth on this issue and I am without a drone within 48 hours of owning it. Should have just exchanged it and not bothered with DJI at all. Still waiting on the outcome and I'm out $1400 until it's decided. They are probably going to 'out wait' me and I"ll wind up paying just to get it back. The flight records show all this and have been sync'd. Can't believe it's taking this long.

There's a reason why DJI is the top dog when it comes to drones. I was very skeptical and it took me a while to finally come to terms with the price. I bought it on sale for a lot less than what's going for now and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I save a few hundred dollars and I got an awesome drone. This thing is amazing and it does everything it claims it can do, and then some. I've flown around my house and at the park and I've gotten amazing video. The return home and all the features, to many to mention, work flawlessly. The only complaint was the instructions, it does really have any and you need to search YouTube to learn how to fly it. It was a little daunting getting it up and running the first time but still worth every penny. I've bought the DJI goggles RE and I've used them once and it's truly an immersive experience. A lot of fun to fly and great photography go hand and hand. Excellent and highly recommend.

This thing is amazing. Portable and it all fits in the bag. This is the way to go. No need to lug around a huge heavy drone. This drone is fantastic. Watch YouTube videos on set up and how to pack it in the bag. I used to own the phantom 4 but that was like flying a table and it was so heavy to carry around. This you can carry over your shoulder in a bag the size of a purse or a man purse :)

The drone is amazing. It flies great and the controls work flawlessly. Now DJI support hurts the experience. I sent it in for a rookie mistake repair and DJI has some of the most inconsistent support silos. Email support will tell you one thing while phone support will tell you another. It has been over a month and my drone still has not been returned after they told me it would be. Again, the drone is great. DJI support needs some work.

Great drone. Very easy to fly with beginner mode if needed. My brother flew mine once & bought one himself! Recommend the fly more package. Definitely worth it. Accessories I purchased were landing gear extensions, lens filters, micro sd card and hard shell case.

I own a phantom 3 standard and 2 months later I purchased the mavic pro Platinum. Since flying the Mavic Pro Platinum I have forgotten all about my Phantom. Getting the fly more combo makes it three times better. This is one purchase and no one will regret.

The moment I first fly this, I am amazed how easy it is to fly, ofcourse you want to start at a low hobby grade drone first not a toy grade but hobby. If you can get good with the hobby one, this one will be your best friend, charging time and flight time is great with the extra batteries combo. Follow the FAA rules and you'll be fine. Happy flying.
