Had the mavic for about 3 weeks and have been loving it. So easy to fly once out of the box

DJI must be cock-a-hoop following news that GoPro is recalling all Karma Drone units already sold. The Karma had put DJI's very own folding drone - the DJI Mavic Pro - firmly in the shade, and I for one couldn't wait to lay my hands on one. Well, it looks like I had a lucky escape.

"I absolutely love this drone. Easy to fly, quality pictures and video, and built to the quality you would expect from DJI."

The Mavic is a great drone whether your are a beginner or expert pilot. It is small and compact which makes it a breeze to transport to any location. The camera takes great photos and video up to 4k. The seller is awesome and I would recommend buying from them.

This drone is very compact which is why I purchased it. It has great features and works well with my iphone.

Easy to Use

Many buyers of the Mavic Pro have written and explained what a great drone this is. I won't repeat any of that. Instead do this to get the most use and enjoyment out of this fantastic piece of technology.

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

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;

The DJI MAVIC Pro has to be the overall best consumer-level drone on the market right now. It's compact and ultra-portable, shoots video up to 4K at 30 frames per second, has great obstacle avoidance technology, and is crazy easy to use.

Up to 4K at 30fps; Excellent stabilization; Great obstacle avoidance technology; Tiny; compact design with few downloads; Extremely easy to use

Battery life isn't great – you will need two batteries; Not the most durable design; Expensive aftermarket parts
