DJI Mavic Pro Drone
While there are so so many different drones present on the market, not all of them are created equal by far. The one that stands out from the crowd for some time now would be the DJI Mavic Pro. This is one of DJIâs smallest drones, but donât let that fool you, because big things can really come in small packages. This drone is still able to maintain some very amazing features, which we will be talking about in this DJI Mavic Pro review.
A Look Inside the Box
There are 2 options available for this drone. The first one, of course, is the base model, while the second one is called the âFly Moreâ combo bundle. With the Fly More combo bundle, the main plus would be the extra batteries â weâll be looking at the combo bundle here.
Youâll have three boxes with the Fly More bundle. The first one is the one with the drone with it, if you were to get the base model, thatâs the box you would get. Then, thereâs a big brown box that contains a handbag to carry the drone around, and the other box contains the Fly More bundle parts, like the extra batteries.
List of the accessories you will receive:
- Battery Charging Hub
- 2 Extra Batteries
- Car Charger
- Adapter to connect to car/house charger to charging hub
- Two sets of extra props
- 1 x Aircraft
- Remote Controller
- 2 x DJI Intelligent Flight Batteries
- 16 GB microSD Card
- 3 x 8330 Quick Release Folding Propellers for Mavic Drone
- Gimbal Clamp
- Charger
- AC Power Cable for Charger
- Micro-USB Cable
- RC Cable for Mavic Controller (Lightning)
- RC Cable for Mavic Controller (Reverse Micro-USB)
- 2 x RC Cable Slider
The Weight
In terms of weight, the drone stands proud; it weighs 1.62 pounds, the controller weighs 0.69 pounds, and the total weight comes in at 2.32 pounds.
The Basics
The biggest appeals of this drone are the compact size and the ability to unfold; both are a major selling point, without a doubt. When you
first start out, youâll need to unfold all of its four arms. The rear arms swing down and towards the back, while the two arms up front swing outwards towards the front.
Before you use the drone, you will also need to remove the gimbal cover as well as the gimbal lock. Both of these are just pieces of plastic that are protecting the gimbal while youâre carrying it around. The cover is there in order to prevent the gimbal from getting a hairbrush to its face while itâs in your suitcase, and the gimbal lock will stop it from bouncing around.
Dedicated Photo Button
On the controller, youâll find a dedicated photo button â by pressing this button, youâll be able to take pictures during mid-video recording. Next to that button, you have a wheel that you can use in order to change the exposure.
Video and Photo
The main reason for using DJI Mavic Pro would be the ability to take video and photos and for that is one of the reasons the DJI has dominated the market. There are some reviewers that are claiming the GoPro takes better video, but we donât really believe thatâs true. The problem with that is the fact that the GoPro gives a fisheye look in 4K, while the Mavic doesnât seem to have this issue. The Hero5 Black does have linear mode, but that mode is only usable up to 2.7 K, not 4K and GoPro doesnât offer flexibility when it comes to in-flight shooting displays.
Conclusion
If youâre looking for a good drone that is small, light in weight, easy to carry around and has some pretty amazing features, then the DJI Mavic Pro would be a viable option for you.
