This is my first "real" drone, and I could not be happier with the purchase. The drone is easy to fly, has long battery life, and folds up to easily fit in a backpack for easy transportation. Because of it's size, I can easily take it on all of my travels. The video quality is great, but, like you probably saw on various YouTube videos, likely needs post processing. The obstacle mitigation is great, except when flying into the sun, where the sensors can relay false information. Luckily, the drone is has tons of custom settings and the sensors can be switched off if desired. Definitely not a drone for those just looking to fly around, you can get something cheaper. This is for those who want a drone that can take great shots with little work.

I had the Spark as my first drone and loved it but the range was a issue.
So I returned it and purchased the Mavic Pro. This drone is fantastic it is fast, quiet, stable, great range, unbelievable photos/videos and the flight time is unbelievable. Worth every penny.

Great Drone, should of bought it with package, but slowly buying the accessories, so I am ended up paying more overall. Finally got filters for camera to try that out. Limit is around 400 ft high which is pretty far up. Have not tried sport mode yet. Compact for sure, but with all the accessories, extra batteries, it is better to just get Lowpro backpack. Tahoo. Looking forward to taking on a vacation trip and launch it. The frames per second on video is low for 4K with a lot of movement, but still looks good.. So probably if you need the better better video quality, you should probably get Phantom 4 Pro. But so far, this thing hovers like a dream, easy drone to fly. The controller (sticks) are sturdy. Bad thing, they will probably come up with a Mavic Pro 2 before you know it with rear/side sensors, longer battery life, better camera, etc. Extra batteries are a must. Got mine end of March 2017. Wish I had more time to fly it.

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 ;)

Love it! So easy to fly and the video is great!! I love this thing. Very easy to transport. I bought the flymore pack which is great because of the extra batteries and charging hub. However, invest in a good case. The one that comes with it barely fits the 3 batteries and charging hub. No room for the controller or drone.

The camera has a small lens and no variable aperture control, hence not as easy to do a wide range of “photography” but superb and simple for short exposures in relatevly neutral light, video seems to work as good, or better than expected. A little issue is that the obstacle avoidance seems to be triggered by the sun and you need to disengage the feature to get home at times- kinda scary but so far so good. Only drone that flys inside on vision so far w/out crashing. Holds its position like a boss !!
Great product for the low price. Almost a “Pro”camera!

After extensive research and YouTube reviews I decided to purchase the DJI Mavic Pro. As a first time user I was very impressed with the build quality and the fact that it was not difficult to fly. I recommend that the user follow the instructions and attempt his first flight outdoors in a large open field. I also recommend the "Fly More" package which includes two additional batteries (you'll be glad you did).

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.

Ever since upgrading from my first drone (Phantom 3), I have not looked back. The Mavic Pro handles and performs so well. It’s size makes it easy to take with me on road trips and through airport security. 4K camera is great, Intellignet Modes are awesome. Wish I had more time to fly.

This is my first drone. It's so easy to fly even my 9yr old can do it. It can literally fly itself.
Beyond that, the camera and gimbal quality are amazing. Video is stunning. The default camera settings work great and there are tons of options to customize depending on the lighting and quality you are looking for.
Battery life averages 25 minutes. Drone returns to home automatically when battery reaches 20%.
I've owned the drone for about 3 weeks and still haven't experimented with all the smart modes. My favorite so far is active track where the drone locks on to you and follows you. You can activate this with hand/arm gestures or with remote.

Do not play with this inside.... the carbon fiber blades (cost extra) are DEADLY. This drone is so incredible though! Takes about 1 hour to set up but once you get going, it's good! Great quality, control, & stability.

So, this is my second DJI product. The first was a Phantom 3 Standard...and it was amazing. After wanting more range and better portability I stepped up to the Mavic Pro and am so glad I did!!! This thing is absolutely amazing. So easy to fly, amazing footage, so small that it will fit in my carry-on or in the tour-pak of my Harley. Simply the best drone I have ever seen. The GoPro Karma killer!!!

Extremely stable, continually improved by updates, rock solid video, extreme long range. I have built quads before and had four times the money in them with less than half the performance of the mavic. The video transmission is a new technology called ocusync and it works really well. Video is really stable and up to 4k. Handles wind well even though it is light. It just got a new fixed wing flying mode added that is cool and should work well with the goggles when they are released.

The MAVIC PRO is Something very Special

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.

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.

I am a photographer, and an experienced r/c plane flier. What I was looking for was a stable photographic platform to get that unique view. The Mavic Pro delivers. I had read many reviews and watched many videos but was still a bit apprehensive regarding the ability to fly and compose images or videos. The Mavic Pro is so sophisticated my apprehension was unfounded. It can take-off by itself and land right back where it took of, again by itself. It has collision avoidance capabilities when flying forward, and is so stable in a hover I can easily compose my shots. The other apprehension I had was the ability to actually see the screen on my phone when flying in full sun. This can be challenging.. not only with full sun light but on sand, or snow. There is so much reflected light that I need to find some shade in order to see the video being sent to me from the Mavic. I was using my iPhone 6 but upgraded to an iPad Mini4, that was on sale here at Best Buy, for a larger screen and more memory (the iPad app would not run on my iPad4.. it requires a mini or Pro). So far my Mavic has flown for 10 hours and has traveled almost 60 miles. It's pretty amazing!!! I would suggest purchasing the 'Fly More' bundle.. you are going to want the extra batteries the charger and the bag.

Love this drone and its portability. As a videographer, it adds that content to films that used to be difficult and expensive to achieved. The camera, even for being so small, produces beautiful 4K video and very sharp stills. I have over 70 hours of flight time and have flown it over 2 miles from the remote and still haven't had any problems.
