Before the launch of the recent DJI Mavic Air and the DJI Spark , the Mavic Pro was the smallest camera-equipped quadcopter in DJI's drone line-up. It's soon going to be succeeded by the DJI Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom , which have been leaked by an Argos listing and had their planned July 2018...

Brilliantly portable; Nice 4K footage and 12MP photos; Decent flight time; Numerous smart flight features

Images suffer a little in low light

Waited for over three months on this drunker and it was worth every minute of the wait! Dr?naren is the worst machine at the moment. With its minimal form factor, you bring it everywhere.

A brilliant folding drone that handles like a dream

Light weight; Great video and stills quality; Object avoidance works well;

Object avoidance only works while flying forwards;

DJI hasn’t made any sacrifices to shrink the Mavic down to a size you really can take anywhere. In fact, it’s got more tech than you’ll find in the Phantom 4. Those folding arms work a treat, and the matching compact controller is brilliant too. It's a lot more compact than GoPro's Karma drone, and has more smart flight modes to boot. The Karma's removable gimbal admittedly makes it more flexible on the ground, but I’ve no doubt the Mavic has the edge in the air. Yes, the Mavic is expensive, but when it’s just about manoeuvrable enough for racing, takes fantastic photos and videos, and is simple enough to fly that even a total novice can do it without having to worry about crashing, it really does tick every box. Unless you’re a professional that needs an aerial camera platform for a hardcore video rig, this is all the drone you should need. Buy the Mavic Pro here from DJI

Both drone and controller are incredibly compact and portable; All the advanced features you’d expect from a bigger drone; Great photo and video quality ;

Compact legs mean being more choosy with take-off and landing zones; Smaller, lighter body means high winds make flying trickier than with a Phantom;

There have been several kinder, gentler camera drones this year -- from the large PowerVision PowerEgg to the compact Yuneec Breeze -- but the DJI Mavic Pro is the only one to combine high performance, lots of automated flight modes and obstacle avoidance in an ultracompact body. Add in DJI's assortment of safety and ease-of-use features and you've got a drone that anyone can take anywhere.

If you've been looking for a discreet, but powerful travel-friendly camera drone, look no further than the DJI Mavic Pro.

The DJI Mavic Pro's compact foldable design makes it more travel friendly than any other camera drone with similar capabilities; Its gaming-style controller is equally compact, but still has all the controls you need to fly and control the camera and it can be piloted with only an iOS or Android device; Battery life is very good for a small quadcopter.

The phone mount is a little awkward to use; Not user repairable; Camera lens is a little narrow for landscapes.

If you have a thousand pounds to spend on a sky-bound hovering camera, you're unlikely to find anything that comes close to the DJI Mavic Pro. It's one great drone.

Super portable design; Lots of smart technology; Decent battery life and camera quality;
