DJI - Mavic Pro Quadcopter with Remote Controller - Gray

Overall very impressed with its capabilities, stability, and video/camera definition. After a short quiz, and agreeing to terms and conditions, the controller and app unlocks, enabling flight mode. With a simple push of joysticks, the drone was up in the air. Commandeering it was relatively straightforward and very responsive to throttle. The information presented on the remote and DJI app can be overwhelming at first, but knowing what each set of numbers represent makes flight that much more meaningful (from drone speed, distance, camera exposure, drone and remote battery levels, etc). The reviews I read prior to purchasing this drone were pretty spot-on, and like many others who have flown this drone before, the DJI Mavik Pro did not disappoint. Of course there are flaws (eg. inability to sense obstacles directly on top, to the sides, and behind, inability to fly in the rain, extremes of temperatures, delicate gimbal mechanism), but they are far outweighed by its pros (incredible flight range of a few miles, high definition photos and videos, multiple ways of tracking moving subjects, solid feel and looks, portability, ease of use, live streaming, cinematic modes and first person views, the list goes on). Definitely on the pricier end, but well worth the price for taking photography to another level in more ways than one ;)

Picked this up just about 1 year ago and with 363 flights and a little over 350K miles flown, I can safely say this is an extremely fun, reliable drone. I have not had any major issues or a single crash with the Mavic Pro, just a brief communication issue between drone and controller twice - and when this happened, the drone automatically "returned to home / take off point" like it's supposed to. The 3 batteries that came with the "Fly More' package still holds a great charge after a year, I may have lost about 1-2 minutes on these batteries, but I do know this is normal with these rechargeable Lithium batteries. I did take this on a "distance test" late last Summer in NJ, nice large field, farmland - away from any interference of the city. I did not get to push this to the 4.3 mile advertised max test, but was able to get 2.1 miles before deciding to turn around. I admit, this is by far the farthest I have flown and was a bit nervous - but I had no problem, no loss of video on the controller! Also 2.1 miles is far more than I need. I just like to keep the drone in my line of sight at all times. The camera is decent, it takes great shots in daytime conditions - nighttime, in very low light situations, well...not so much. RAW photo mode is great for me. The Panorama photos are fun (I do use a small program called "Hugin" to stitch these into a super large seamless 360º photo) I've tried the Live stream for YouTube and Facebook Live, it's not too bad, not perfect however. I've has some lag, pixelation of video when streaming so I don't really use this feature. The one thing I read before buying the Mavic Pro is a potential annoyance of DJI's constant updates. Yes, this is true. There are times I've taken the drone out, ready to take flight, open the app and prompted with a update. A few I could ignore, but a few I had to update before I could fly. And if you are not on a Wifi at the time, an update can take a while to download, install..and it's taking up your battery life on the drone, a bit deflating. My advise, before you leave the home, charge up the drone, controller, app to see if any updates are available. I've had a different drone, brand name a few years ago. Sadly, I was just never happy with the performance of that drone, especially after it's final bug-filled firmware before the company moved on and put all it's focus on it's newer drone model. But this DJI, overall I've been very happy with this drone. I am waiting for the Mavic 2 to drop in price just a bit - may take a while though. I will upgrade to that since the the camera on that newer Mavic 2 is just impressive.

I was able to buy a bundle pack on 11/18. This is my first drone, so I was a little apprehensive about flying it, but it has a beginner mode that is very helpful to build confidence before letting it get to far away. After running through one battery (20 mins) I felt ready to take off Begging Mode. The Mavic is so easy to fly, the hardest part is just getting familiar with all the features. I have flown mine almost every day and typically go through all 3 batteries. I get 20+ minutes of flight time with each battery, but have still ordered 2 more, so I can have one in the drone and 4 charging on the 4 port charging hub. The 4k video is insane, it is nearly impossible to take a bad video. Tripod feature slows down the drown so you get cinematic shots. I have let a couple friends who have all flown other drones and they can't wait to get their own!

I'm a first-time quadcopter owner and like most people I read multiple reviews and watched tons of review videos before deciding on a quad, I decided to go with the Mavic Pro instead of the Phantom 4, the portability was the deciding factor along with the fact that the Mavic outranges the Phantom by a mile. I personally like everything about the Mavic, it's incredibly stable even in high winds and is very easy to fly. My very first flight I recorded during the majority of the time and only got 15 minutes of flight time, not the 25-28 minutes I was expecting. I started out with the "Beginner Mode" which only allows a distance of 98' away, that mode was quickly halted opting for the regular mode. I flew the quad upwards to 317' to record a sunrise, it was awesome! Recorded the sunrise in tripod mode and the Mavic was incredible, no movement at all at 317'!! Haven't had it long enough to try all the recording modes, looking forward to them too! The controller chirped the low battery warning and I decided to try the "Return to Home", wow, hard to believe that it landed within an inch from where it lifted off, remarkable! I had a landing pad, that's how I knew it was within an inch! The batteries charge time is a little over an hour, glad I purchased a couple extra. If you're trying to decide, the Mavic Pro is a no-brainer, you won't be disappointed! Thank you Best Buy for finally getting me my Mavic!

This is absolutely the best drone I've ever used and I say that with no hesitation. How DJI was able to fit so much into such a small drone is beyond me and I love it. I take it with me almost everywhere I go even when I go to work because it's so easy to bring around. It's flies extremely easy and has lots of great features. Shooting video in 4k is awesome and the quality is great. For anyone looking to get a great drone in a small form factor this is the one you want.

I have had a Lumenier QAV540G v2 for several years and I have ALWAYS been working on the rig all the time. My build was a very high end on my QAV540G and there were always problems here and there. After learning more about the MAVIC PRO quadcopter I decided that this little aerial platform is really something. The MAVIC flies like a dream and the options built into the MAVIC simply blows me away. I was looking for an aerial platform that shoots wonderful High Definition video with zero vibration and the MAVIC PRO has all the cool high tech options in a very compact size and reasonably priced. The unit that I had an issue in the video playback so I took it back to Best Buy. I have been waiting for the MAVIC PRO's back in stock and that day has come again. I will be picking up my new MAVIC PRO on January 30th and I can't wait to get it into the air. Keep an eye on the Best Buy website because I don't think the MAVIC PRO will be actually for sale in any Best Buy store for some time, they are just selling them too quickly.

Best drone in the world! 'Drops Mic' =) "Smart" drone, sleek design, compact, travel friendly, user friendly functions, there's so many great things to say about this drone. There are so many video clips that you can watch regarding this drone, but once you fly it yourself, you'll understand what we are saying. Not good for beginners IMHO mainly because of the price. This drone could have been easily priced at around $1500 but it's priced correctly. Buy a cheaper drone to get yourself accustomed first, then upgrade once your flying skills are better. Buy DJI Care. This is a must!!!!

I purchased the Phantom 4 due to the delay in production for the Mavic Pro. I loved the Phantom 4 but found some issues with it along the way. Once BestBuy had the Mavic Pro instock I ordered for pickup right away. First flight on the Mavic Pro I was blown away with the stability it provides versus the Phantom 4. Twice as stable compared to the Phantom 4. The video quality is GOOD but not as good as the P4. I made a precisely filmed video with the Mavic focusing on a beautiful motor cycle staticly displayed with sunshine day light and the video came out awesome. Once on YouTube you can't tell the video quality difference compared to the P4. One thing I notice a lot with the Mavic is that high wind affects it's behaviors noticeably. I get the "high wind" warning a lot at higher altitude where as the Phantom 4 seems to cut through the air a lot better due do it's weight and sleekness versus the Mavic. Overall I never touch my Phantom 4 and only whip out the Mavic. The folding booms and props are just too perfect. It's by far the best small size RTF drone on the market right now. Only issue I've had with it at first was the supplied lightning to mini USB cable kept cutting out. Simple fix was to use my iPhone lightning cable going to the USB port on the controller, never experienced an issue.
