DJI - Mavic Pro Platinum - Quadcopter Drone with Camera

Product Information

The DJI Mavic Pro Platinum is the best small drone on the market. Its folding design makes it a go-anywhere option, easily when stowed into a gear bag. It's a bit quieter and flies longer than the original Mavic Pro, but also costs more. Don't rule out the first version, especially if you're on a budget and don't mind a few minutes less flight time. However, I did find that if the weather conditions are too windy. The drone will not fly at a consistent speed which can be quite a challenge. So to combat that, I let the drone fly around an object for few times while recording and found few good sections where the shots looked fluid and nice to work with. Follow Me Mode: However, there’s a specific design that I’m not quite keen on. The drone’s body and camera lay a little too close to the ground level for my taste. I’d recommend either landing pad or landing gear extenders if I plan to take off or land the drone onto beaches and snow. It isn’t a surprise because of the DJI Mavic Pro Platinum’s compact design that requires the drone to have a low profile.

You can fly the Mavic without a smartphone, but you won't get a first person view from the camera and you won't have access to adjust a lot of its video and photo features. I recommend you use your phone with the remote; the safety benefits of seeing through the drone's camera are reason enough. Once you activate the flight mode, the drone will automatically start circling the object. From that point, you can adjust the drone’s altitude and even tilt the camera while it performs orbits. This feature performs incredibly well and is the best way for new drone pilots to start taking cinematic shots. For its size the Mavic Pro has a tremendously precise 3 axis gimbal camera which uses every pixel on its sensor. The video and stills shots are just perfect. The Mavic Pro can capture 4k video at 30 frames per second. Here are some of the Mavic Pro video camera highlights; Mavic Pro Camera Specifications

This means that you should give the Mavic sufficient time during its ascent, instead of flying away immediately after take-off.
