Customer Ratings & Reviews

Image quality is amazing at 5K, and the different 4K options. Stable even in 25+ MPH winds.

Exactly what I was waiting for. This is one of the most fun drones I’ve owned, and I own a few FPV’s. This bundle is worth the money, and everything inside is premium. I would highly recommend if you have the spare change.

PROS: - long flight time - two cameras - easy magnetic ND filters - variable aperture - improved return to home - 360 obstacle avoidance - great carrying case CONS: - Only 8GB internal. Seems like they could have easily done 16 or 32 or more - Quality control was a bit lacking. Arrived with a dead LED. Details below. - a lot of personal information sharing agreements required to use GPS etc, and just in general, a lot of “yes I agree” to use the drone fully. Including sharing of your information with 3rd parties. FIRST THOUGHTS: It’s finally here, the new Mavic 3 from DJI is here and it comes with a decent price bump, but is that worth it to you? Well, if you’re buying this drone for photography and videography work, then yes, yes it is. By far the best upgrade in this model in my opinion is the camera(s). Yes, plural, there are two camera lenses on the Mavic 3, and the main one is a micro 4/3” sensor! This makes for amazing quality video and photos, and when paired with the DLog picture profile and a variable aperture, you’ll be getting high quality, pro level images every time you shoot. The second camera is a zoom camera that is a little more limited and may not be great for production work as of now, (firmware updates may change that) but when used as a scouting lens, you can save time and battery by zooming in to scout an area to shoot before flying over there. It’s still good enough to use and put in your videos etc, but just be aware, it will not be as high quality as the main camera when using the digital zoom option. I also noticed I was only able to shoot 4k 30 on the zoom lens, not 24 or 60. Again, this could change for sure, but as of this review, Nov 2021, I wasn’t able to change that or manually control my camera settings when using the zoom lens. Unfortunately it has been a very rainy week around me and I haven’t been able to test the flight abilities to the full extent I would like, but I did get out for a few shorter flights and was able to note a few things. One thing I loved was the battery life. DJI says 45ish minutes on a battery, I didn’t test it THAT close, but I do know I reached the usual “oh shoot, better get back, I bet my battery is dead” feeling and was only half drained. I believe my first flight lasted 30 minutes and I still had enough battery to prevent a low battery warning. That is a game changer type feature. Being able to keep your aircraft out longer to shoot better and take your time will add up to hours saved. Add that to the 3 batteries you get with the fly more combo and you will have tons of time to shoot before you need to worry about charging. Oh hey, speaking of those batteries, they now load into the back of the drone. There is also a USB C port on the back above the microSD slot. The USB port can be used to pull data off the on board storage or charge the battery in the drone. Unfortunately that on board storage is only 8GB so don’t expect to get away without an SD card. FIRST FLIGHT: Once I ran all my preflight checklists and safety procedures, I was ready to fly the Mavic 3 for the first time. I really wanted to see how well the obstacle avoidance works and if the hype was real. Short answer, yes, yes it is. I flew the drone slowly closer and closer towards a dreaded tree and with my settings to brake (vs go around), my drone just stopped. No matter how much I pushed the stick forward, it would not run into the tree. This was in good light mind you, but still, very impressive. Actually, I tried to fly up and away when I was done and the drone still wouldn’t fly because there was another branch nearby overhead that was stopping my flight path. There is also an appropriately annoying alert alarm tone on the controller telling you when you are getting close to obstacles which can be handy if you are watching the aircraft and not the screen. Note, in sport mode, the obstacle avoidance does not work. I also noticed I had a really good signal and the remote never seemed to get weak or lose signal with the aircraft the whole time I was flying. I was obviously staying within a line of sight, but with the new transmission system, there should never really be a loss of signal if you are following the proper guidelines. Wind did not seem to affect my flight as well. Though wind speeds were pretty low, I still had the occasional gusts of 15mph and the drone was able to hold pretty straight and continue to shoot steady. The gimbal works great and stayed relatively level the whole time I was shooting. Once I was done flying, I tested the new return to home function in an open space and it did a great job getting back and avoiding any obstacles in the way. The new return to home capabilities makes me feel like I will actually use this a lot more now that I can trust it. ACCESSORIES: The fly more combo comes with some extra parts you may want, including spare batteries, a charging dock, ND filters, etc. But the best one may be the bag, believe it or not. I’m usually not a fan of gear specific carrying bags. I prefer to put everything in my go to camera bag and organize it how I want. But I got to say, this bag is actually pretty handy. Besides being built pretty strong; the stitching looked good and the buckles were metal, the bag also is just useful. It has a perfect spot for the drone, batteries, and controller as well as pockets for props, notebooks, your phone, water bottle, etc. But one really cool feature is it actually unfolds into a backpack. There are shoulder straps as well as a waist strap that are tucked away in pockets when you are not using them but can easily be taken out to use. Within less than a minute, you can turn the carrying bag into a backpack perfect for hiking or long walks to your shooting location. I think this will work great for days when I am solely shooting drone work and don’t need to bring my larger camera bag with all the unnecessary gear and weight. The inside of the bag is also very soft but sturdy. I feel very confident the equipment inside will be protected. It sounds odd, but the bag may be enough of a push to get the fly more combo, besides all the other extras you get. Last note on accessories, there is also a new gimbal harness that actually works really well. It’s a bit of a learning curve to get it on and off, but once you do, you’ll be glad you have it. It protects the camera AND the props, which can be expensive to replace. THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE: So as I said in the cons list, my drone arrived with a dead LED on one of the arms. This did not affect its ability to fly but technically affects the safety of the flight, especially in low light, and more so is just annoying and shouldn’t happen on a product you spend over three thousand dollars on. I hoped there would be better quality control checks for such a premium and expensive item. Basically it just gave me the feeling DJI cut corners, not something you want to feel 1 hour after receiving your expensive product. On a positive note, DJI customer support was more than understanding and quickly helped me arrange to get a replacement drone and paid the return shipping to send back the faulty device. I understand these things happen, and I hope this was just a very rare fluke, but in the spirit of full transparency, I felt it was necessary to include. Really the only other negative thing I noticed really isn’t THAT big of a deal, but is the internal storage. Realistically we will all have a large SD card in the drone and the internal storage is not necessary. I assume that is why DJI felt 8GB was enough, but there are those times you fill a card or you simply forget a card, that it would be nice to have a little more room on board to record to. Especially for video where the files are quite large. The ability to shoot 10 or 15 minutes on board would be really helpful as a backup option but in no way is that a deal breaker. OVERALL: The build of the drone, the software performance, and the overall experience definitely was enough to outweigh any negative thoughts I had. Dual cameras, longer flight time, smarter software, it all adds up to a worthwhile investment. I am sure this drone will last for years and years and will continue to be a standard for content creators looking to get that unique perspective in their creations. As a photographer and videographer, I know this aircraft will provide me with years of excellent content and open new possibilities for future work.

The best drone I’ve ever had picture quality is amazing :)

Excellent! The Navic 3 Pro is a professional tool for High end, high qualiylty photography and cinematography. This Drone is over the Top! All I need for my production needs.

The best drone long life battery súper zoom camera

Recommend Getting for sure Game changer Always comes back

Unboxing What a great unboxing experience you get with this Drone. Everything is packed nicely in the fly more combo Bag, which can convert into a backpack…awesome! Of course you get the Mavic 3 itself, 3 sets of props, 3 Total batteries that are 5000 mah each, the battery dock/charger which can charge all three batteries at a time. (You also have the option of charging a battery directly inside the Mavic 3). You also get 4 ND Filters from 4 - 32 which will help you capture that perfect shot or video in bright situations. Also this comes with a cover that protects the camera system, wraps around and holds the props in place and bungees around and hooks to itself protecting the vital parts of the DJI Mavic 3. You get the RC its self (Not the Pro smart controller with the screen) which to me is perfectly fine and works well with your smartphone and DJI fly app. It’s the same controller as the Air 2S. Drone Size and Weight. The Mavic 3 weighs around 895 grams which is right at 2lbs. It is approximately the same size as the Mavic 2. The arms fold in and out identical to the Mavic 2 and Air 2S making for a compact package for transport. With the Arms out and ready for flight it appears to have a wider prop span that the Mavic 2 pro. That should help with more stability in higher wind scenarios. Set up Initial set up takes about an hour or two, including the software update which only took 5 minutes. Gotta make sure you have a full batteries charged (all batteries came dead), making sure the controller is charged and linking the controller to the Mavic 3 and getting it registered with the FAA. There is a calibration you have to do with the RC controller before first flight and the controller will beep until it’s completed. Flight First off. You get up to ~46 minutes of flight time with one battery (in perfect conditions), That’s amazing. With the Fly More Combo you can theoretically get over 2 hours of flight time. Flying time will vary with each persons situation. If you’re fighting the wind (DJI claims up to 27mph wind resistance) then your flight time will be reduced. I used the manual take off and it of course worked flawlessly. The DJI fly app and the LAANC authorization system are not connected. I ended up having to drive about 5 miles out of town as I live too close to an airport to fly this in my back yard even though I should be allowed to fly up to 200 feet. But I couldn’t even take off. Once I reached the “Safe” area I flew this drone out to approximately 400 yards purposely to use the RTH (Return to Home) feature. Also, O3+ extends video transmission range to a maximum distance of 15 km. I set the return altitude to 200 feet and it flawlessly flew back to the take off spot with in 2 feet. Omnidirectional obstacle sensing works very well. I flew straight towards a fence and the Mavic 3 then flew over the fence. Such great improvements over the Mavic 2 pro as the Mavic 3 has more obstacle avoidance cameras (6) than the Mavic 2. Please be aware that if you put the drone into sport mode the obstacle avoidance system turns off. Also this thing screams in Sport mode. So Much fun to fly, just watch out for them branches….yes Ive ruined two props already but luckily the fly more combo comes with replacements. ActiveTrack 5.0 is really well done. I walked around 2 football fields and the Mavic 3 followed me the whole way, really neat and a great way to capture them cinematic and active shots. Mavic 3 is able to track in all directions and adjust tracking angles smoothly for more natural results. Please note that ActiveTrack is not available at video resolutions higher than 4K or frame rates over 60fps. Camera System DJI Mavic 3 has a dual camera system. This camera system has been tuned by Hasselblad. One with a 20 MP 4/3” CMOS camera with f/2.8-f/11 stops of dynamic range, with a 24mm FOV. Another with a fixed 4.4 aperture and 28x zoom lens (in Explore mode). 7X zoom is optical the rest is a digital zoom. Of course once you go past the 7X optical zoom your picture and video quality falls off quite a bit and gets very soft. But it's still an awesome feature to be able to zoom in 28X. I left the camera system on Auto for the first few flights so that I could see the quality that auto brings and to be honest I am super impressed with the quality. I didn’t do any color grading or Post editing on the initial shots I took (one shot included in my review) with the DJI Mavic 3 Drone. I think most people will be happy with the Auto settings this drone uses. BUT, The DJI Mavic 3 supports 10-bit D-Log color profile and is capable of shooting in 5.1K at 50fps which is absolutely insane. There are intelligent features coming like: Hyperlapse, Mastershots, FocusTrack, QuickShots, Panorama as well as 4K/120fps and 4G transmission capability which will all be available through a firmware update in January 2022 Overall I have been super impressed with the DJI Mavic 3. Great build quality, fast but yet quieter than that of the Mavic 2 Pro. Phenomenal Hasselblad dual camera system. If I had one complaint it would be the 8GB of internal storage is not good enough for the price on the drone. Also the camera features that we have to wait till Jan 2022 for. They should have been ready on release. Also not having LAANC connected to the DJI fly app is a real pain in the butt for those of us that live close to an airport. Just my opinion.

Amazing quality and battery life for such a small drone.

My expectations were very high coming to experience the DJI Mavic 3 because of the brand recognition. DJI is known for having top of the line drones and I now get to put the Mavic 3 to the test. I have the “Fly More Combo” and it’s loaded with everything to keep you flying the drone for hours. The first thing I did was the unboxing and find the quick start guide to get started. I had the drone battery and remote controller both plugged in to charge. It took me about 2 hours waiting for a full charge. While I was waiting I downloaded the DJI Fly app to watch tutorials, read the manual and other helpful things within the app to get me familiar with the Mavic 3. For anyone new to flying a drone you will need to visit the FAA website to register or add your new small aircraft. There is also information on how to take The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST) and obtain your free certificate. So now I turn on my Mavic 3 and remote control to link them together. After a few seconds I connect my phone with the included cable to have the camera view, flight status and many more features. Fly Time: The Mavic 3 is capable of getting a range of about 9 miles away from the remote. Honestly it’s good to know but I will not be pushing it to get 9 miles range because it will be out of my sight. I honestly didn’t like the look of the remote but as I hold it I think it fits nice and that’s more important than the looks. Everything for the remote is all stored away in designated areas on the remote control. With my years of experience flying drones I think the Mavic 3 was easy to operate. I was ripping the air with speed and different maneuvers. The Mavic 3 reacted quickly to everything I command on the remote. I was flying for about an hour and since it started getting dark I noticed the led lights on the bottom of the drone which gave a daylight spotlight to help with my landing. The Mavic 3 is phenomenal when handling. The “Fly More” combo will give you about 3 hours of flying. I’m getting closer to an hour for each fully charged battery. With high winds I’m sure that will decrease but that’s impressive. Unhappy moment: I live a few miles from an airport so I found out that my Mavic wouldn’t even take off. I don’t like the fact that DJI made an absolute brick of the Mavic 3 because of the airport. I understand safety but I think DJI could of limit how high it goes up and display a notification so the operator understands why. I cannot lower my rating because the Mavic 3 is really a fun drone while looking so cool. When I’m flying I get safety features such as the obstacle avoidance which is nice. I get a few bystanders that are amazed of what it can do and usually ask me plenty of questions every time I take it out. This are some shortcomings I know DJI can address in future updates and will make this more enjoyable. I like taking pictures of landscapes and nature but with restrictions I cannot always take advantage of all the opportunities. When I’m able to I get fantastic pictures like the attachments that I included in my review. My pictures were in beyond 4k quality even when I zoomed in the pictures were beautiful. Some future updates for camera features are also promised for January 2022. I don’t like to be repetitive and boring but I really like the Mavic 3 and I’m sure I will get many more people that have the same feeling.

By far the best drone on the market, and Best Buy is by far the best place to get it hands-down with the greatest service matched with their total tech protection, and you would be crazy to buy it anywhere else

Great drone and the camera is fantastic! Some people reported GPS issues with Sat's Connections. I have had no issues with the Mavic 3 and really enjoy the longer flight time. It's a beast in windy conditions and really out performs it's competitors.!

Superb image quality. I also believe all the output options for resolution (1080, 4K, 5K) they all look equally superb, unlike it's predecessor Mavic 2 Pro that only 1080 30p was the best quality option. We are so happy with it. Worth every cent.

If your wondering the box that in comes in is heavy (maybe feels like 35/pounds pounds) so if you're going to pick it up make sure it's double/triple bagged. I can't wait to try it!

DJI bested themselves with their latest drone. I’m upgrading from the Mavic Air 2 and this one-ups it in just about every way. I was impressed before I even got to the with the bag that comes with the fly more combo. It’s a very nice, well-built bag, with plenty of storage, especially when converted to a backpack! It comes out of the box with the drone and accessories packed nicely inside, with a divider in the main compartment that creates a section for the drone, and spots for the controller, charger, and two batteries, which all sits under a flap sewn to the bag interior. The flap has a zippered mesh pouch where you could keep small things like spare SD cards. Sitting on top, is a carboard box which includes the spare propellers, USB-C and Micro-USB cords for the remote, charging USB cable for the remote I think was also included in this box, the battery charging dock, and a neat slot for the ND filters. I kept this carboard box because it seems sturdy enough and is a nice way to keep all these little bits together, especially since you need to move it all out of the way to lift the flap and get to the remote and batteries underneath. The interior of the bag is a nice soft felt. The buckles on the bag are metal, the straps on the buckles that hold the back closed are leather, the rest are like a polyester (like a seatbelt) and a type of cotton (a tag on the bag said it was all cotton). Basically, this really feels like a well-built bag. Unfortunately, you’re left to figure out how to use it as a backpack and shoulder bag. The flap that folds over the main bag can unzipper, and the clips that would hold the bag closed can then be clipped to the bottom of the bag, and also shoulder straps are revealed. The shoulder straps are meant to be flipped over the top and then clipped back onto the bottom of the bag, so then if you are wearing it as a backpack, the carry handle would be against your back. The only problem with this design is that is it’s a pain to unzipper the backpack compartment. Speaking of the backpack compartment… it’s huge. I could fit my Air 2 bag inside the backpack of this bag, and a folded-up landing pad, and still had room for more things. Unfortunately, this bag compartment has no structure or ways to secure things inside, so pack carefully. Pack the backpack stuff all back up, and the back of the bag has 1 zipper on each edge. The left and right zippers open to a compartment the house the shoulder strap, which can be buckled together and easily slung over your shoulder. This strap also includes a small, zippered pouch on it. The top and bottom zippers on the back of the bag open to the same continuous compartment, which you could store thin items, or slide it onto the handle of wheeled luggage. Now the drone itself! It’s much bigger than I expected and dwarfs the Air 2 (pictures attached). But it also looks and feels more mature. Setup and power on is straightforward and like all other Mavic drones. The battery slides into the back, but I found the power button doesn’t really stand out in any way. The batteries are in a “hibernate” state, so they are unusable until you charge them, and it’s a good idea to fully charge them, which takes well over an hour each (1 hour 36 minutes according to user guide). The drone is secured by a strap, which holds the props in place (if properly put on) and protects the camera gimbal, but doesn’t hold the gimbal in place. The gimbal will apparently “lock” itself into place on poweroff, but a good jostling will “unlock” it, causing it to wobble around. I don’t know if this is a problem or not, but on the Air 2, it was held securely in place and prevented from moving by a plastic cover. Hopefully this bobbing around free in the air isn’t too stressful for the gimbal. The remote is essentially the same remote as what comes with the Air 2. The Hasselblad camera takes stunning pictures as expected. I strongly encouraging shooting in RAW+JPEG mode, because I found I was really able to recover a lot of color and detail from the raw photos in Adobe Lightroom. This is especially important since none of the advanced picture options are available, including panorama, smart photos, etc…. Only thing that works right now besides a single picture, is Auto Exposure Bracketing. Same thing goes for video, you can only shoot standard video. There are no quickshots or any of the fun things that you may have gotten used on other DJI drones. Also, I had a problem where I thought I was recording video, but nothing got saved to my SD card; only the cached video on my phone. And then, I only got the last 2 minutes of a 5 minute video. I share this SD card with other devices, and photos work fine, so I don’t think it’s the SD card. So this was an unusual, and bit frustrating discovery. I had thought I wasn’t really recording when I discovered missing video, but it turns out I did record, but it wasn’t saved. The video that did get recorded looked good, but also a bit under exposed, and contrast-y. I put the video into Premier Rush and boosted the shadows, lowered the contrast, and slightly raised highlights and was a bit happier with the result. I couldn’t test D-Log video format, which might produce better video results, because I crashed the drone before I could. I crashed it putting the omni-directional sensors to the test. I tried flying it between some tree branches and a building. It did handle it fairly well, going up, down, left and right to avoid obstacles, and even avoiding some pretty small branches sticking out by themselves. But, alas, it did make a mistake and hit a low hanging branch and it crashed to the ground. The ground was soft, but it must’ve landed on one of the arms, which seems to have bent something inside and is out of wack. This is a bit disappointing, considering I was only 15-20 feet in the air, and landed on very soft muddy (but not wet) ground. The props were all damaged as expected, but I was truly surprised to find the arm was damaged, which I didn’t notice until folding up the drone. Everything else looked fine and only had a couple surface-level scuffs. The battery also popped out during the crash, which also surprised me. So, I do like the obstacle avoidance, and I think it works better than all previous DJI drones, but it also seems there is room for improvement. Also currently unavailable is the object tracking, so there is no following you or vehicles yet. Or, if that is a feature that is available, I couldn’t figure out how to get it working, as it only would lock focus/exposure when I tried highlighting or tapping on myself in view to track. So, this is a great drone, with tons of potential, but DJI needs to work on the software bits to truly unlock the potential of this drone. It’s still a worthwhile investment in my opinion, either if you get it now and wait for the improvements or wait on buying it until they finish adding all the features.

Nice drone but not the price and I don’t like this drone have same control with mini mavic for this price is crazy 4K camera wonderful video the best drone

Building my fleet, adding the M3 to the Air 2S — this drone is a worthy upgrade, it’s a beast as far as I can tell. The Omni-directional obstacle avoidance and Active Track 5.0 make the M3 the only drone I’ve flown since its purchase.

Excellent Drone and the Zoom capability is pretty remarkable...

DJI’s flagship, compact camera drone continues to lead the way in the industry. The Mavic 3 is DJI’s latest version of the ultra-portable Mavic series that leads their consumer product line. It’s unbelievable the amount of features and technology they were able to cram into this very portable design. I’ve owned and flown numerous other DJI products in the past and their products just keep getting better. DJI really sets the standard in this industry for how these products should perform. Upon unboxing, I was pleased at the thought that went into designing this package. Just starting off with the bag the Mavic 3 Fly More Combo comes in, there are sufficient pockets and dividers to hold everything in the kit nicely, the bag has sturdy zippers, reenforced stitching, metal clasps, and the bag transforms beyond a single handle to both a messenger bag, and a full-on 2 strap backpack. This design makes this kit extremely flexible and is a great companion for your next adventure. Getting into the accessories, the fly more combo comes with 12 extra propellors, 2 extra batteries, a 3 battery sequential charging dock, and a 4 pack of ND lens filters. The Fly More Combo kit is just about the top of the line kit with exception of the Cine Premium Combo that adds an upgraded remote (built-in screen), additional ND lens filters, kicks up the internal storage from 8GB to 1TB (high speed SSD for quick transfer speeds), and supports Apple ProRes. These additional features support more of a professional level experience with the Mavic 3. Getting to the actual drone, it comes pre-assembled with propellers loaded, almost ready to fly. Getting ready for your first flight: Getting started is a little bit of a process (especially if you’ve never flown a DJI product before, so beware new users) but the process is straight forward, and the mobile app walks you through the entire thing. Once you download the app, you’ll want to sign in to your DJI account (or create a new one) and start down the path of getting things charged up, powered on, and paired. I put all 3 batteries in the charging dock and connected the remote to make sure everything would be charged up and ready to fly. The batteries do charge sequentially, not sure what the exact reasoning is behind that, but as soon as you have at least the first drone battery ready to go and the controller charged, you’re ready to power things on and pair them to your app. Once the combo pairs and shows up in your app, there’s a 99% change you’ll be prompted to update the firmware. DJI is constantly pushing out updates for firmware to fix bugs, add new features, and improve the overall experience with their flagship product. First flight: The drone effortlessly floats into the air and responds beautifully to your control input. The control response is immediate and is very easy to fly. The done is not overly loud, the camera gimbal responds instantly and smoothly to any changes in the drone position, the transmission feed was perfectly clear, and overall was just a pleasant experience. If you’re a newer drone flier, I would highly recommend keeping the drone if the Cinema setting on the controller to limit the flight speed and keep abrupt movements to a minimum. In sport mode, the drone will respond instantly to whatever it’s commanded to do, can travel just over 40 mph, and will turn obstacle avoidance off, so I’d recommend keeping that mode for clear open spaces once you’ve gotten a feel for the flight characteristics of the drone. Under ideal conditions, the battery life can deliver enough power for up to 46 minutes of flight time which is a very welcome change in these later drone models. Getting into these extended flight times allow you to plan shots, execute those shots multiple times, and still have battery to come back or fly to your next shooting spot without worry. Safety Systems: One of the major advantages to the DJI platform is the sheer amount of safety features, both in things like obstacle avoidance, and in things like checks and balances to make sure you’re only flying where you are authorized to fly. The obstacle avoidance takes some getting used to; it’s hard to trust all those sensors at first that are supposed to be protecting your brand-new drone worth thousands of dollars, but the system does a great job at avoiding things. From flying around obstacles, flying over obstacles, to simply holding short of an obstacle if it’s not quite sure what to do, the drone has your back. From things like flying in restricted zones, near airports, or around other aircrafts, the app will either prevent you from taking off without the correct authorization or will sufficiently warn you of potential danger near where you’re flying. Camera performance: I couldn’t be more satisfied with the camera on this drone. The most anticipated feature of the Mavic 3 has been the flagship Hasselblad camera. With a 4/3 CMOS 20MP sensor, resolution up to 5k, framerate up to 120 fps at 4k, 7x optical zoon, 28x digital zoom, and manual control over all the camera features, you won’t be disappointed. I shot some quick scenes at dusk and tried to capture the sunset over a portion of the industrial complex in town, and I couldn’t be more blown away at the color representation, quality detail, and performance of the sensor in this camera. A few notes: I encountered a potential hardware issue on the drone that caused a malfunction that needed to be repaired, but DJI support handled the repair free of charge and took care of the issue. Additionally, I’ve noticed that the drone takes a minute to lock into GPS and get all its sensors ready to go. You can see this status on the app. The app will allow you to take off without having GPS locked in, which could end up making a very unstable flight. I’d encourage you to triple check you have GPS locked in and the drone is ready to fly before commanding a takeoff. Finally, I’d recommend purchasing DJI Care for peace of mind on the off chance you encounter some physical damage to the drone. Overall, if you’re looking for a flagship, easily portable, compact, super high quality, easy to use camera drone platform, you don’t need to look any further. DJI continues to set the direction and lead the way in this industry. You won’t find a higher quality, compact, portable camera drone for your adventures anywhere else. This drone is an absolute beast.

Very happy with this purchase. DJI was slow to release some updates that the drone needed after I purchased it, but a buy today gives you a fully functional drone with incredible imagery. The only thing I would do different, is to NOT buy the fly more combo because I'm not a huge fan of the bag that comes with this combo. I'd much rather have a hard case box, and if you were to look at the line item cost... they are charging quite a bit for the bag... so yeah, otherwise fantastic DJI product as usual.
