Mavic 2 Zoom

This drone is absolutely fantastic, awesome, great! It takes a while to understand controls, to get used to it. Don't hurry up, learn little by little. It's cheaper to gradually improve your drone's pilot skills, than to buy another drone ;) Be careful, this drone is made of plastic and it is fragile, but it's light and flies great. But, DO NOT FLY IN RAIN or in high humidity/fog, it will damage the drone. Follow the laws and regulations, get a license from FAA, and fly responsibly, and you will have A LOT OF FUN!! Continue. The drone is very responsive, but you can control it. The smart controller is a "must buy", it operates with the drone better than a standard controller, it has stronger signal through the wireless connection (dual band), and makes flights more enjoyable. Also, with the smart controller (and with the correct settings) you can secure your privacy better, because China is WATCHING, remember it! If you operate with a standard controller, you will have to install all the drone's applications into your phone, and the data will be stored on Chinese servers (controlled by Communist Party in accordance to laws of China), which may jeopardize your privacy and even identity ("identity theft risk"). By using a smart controller, you can avoid these risks. Also, these smart controllers have very nice bright screen (you can buy a screen protector apart, there are good ones on Amazon). Joysticks come together with a smart controller, they are hidden under antennas. Be careful flying in darkness, the drone's camera is great for a day-time flights, but doesn't have night vision mode (but you can buy a night or thermal vision camera apart and install it if you're a legal permanent resident being in the United States). This drone has phenomenal capabilities, and can be used for filming, for security/LE measures, and just for fun! Don't get surprised when you will start enjoying these flights even more than you expected! The Chinese engineers did a great job making this model, and now (finally!) healthy capitalist relations between our countries help everybody to be happy, as it should be! I absolutely recommend this drone to buy, it is as seductive as MAGA as soon as you try it! Have fun!

The battery could last longer, but solved the issue buying the pack with 2 additional batteries (and a carrying case). It's a mind blowing drone, the type of thing that 3 years ago would have definitely be science fiction. I just can't get enough of it, I'm flying at least an average of 1 hour a day (wish could have more time to do it), and taking the best pictures of my life while having tons of fun. Make sure you get the carrying case..., I can't imagine not having one at this point in time. The drone is the perfect complement for whoever loves traveling, fishing, camping, sports, or any other outdoor activities, however, I have to say that my experience is unique, since I live in a country that still didn't regulate drones, and therefore, i have a lot of freedom for what I whatever I want to use it for. My kid plays tennis, it's drone time, I go fishing, it's drone time, going biking?, drone time, BBQ with friends?, drone time..., what can I say?, it's my best friend now.

Only thing I dislike about the Mavic 2 Pro is that the battery doesn't last long, especially in the windy beach area I live. I get 20-25 minutes, just because the bird is always self-correcting as it fights the wind gusts. I go easy on the throttle and speed, but still, this area is windy. Other than the battery not lasting long, this thing yields great, satisfying results. You don't need to have prior experience flying RC aircraft, because the thing stays in flight by itself. It automatically does all the corrections and compensations. All you need to do is watch your surroundings and go up, down, left or right as you move the camera gimbal to your liking. Once you get used to the controls, it's intuitive, plus you also can configure them to your preference. This thing has very advanced systems to stay in impressively stable flight while you focus on your image composition. It comes with Beginner Mode enabled, so the drone doesn't get more than 100 feet away from you or higher than 98 feet, and it also restricts its speed and control sensitivity. It also won't take off without a GPS signal lock. It's a nice feature. I used it for three battery changes to really learn everything before disabling it. This type of camera drone feels very different from RC helicopters and smaller drones, which require constant control input. As long as you respect the law and fly safe, you'll find a new source of joy and creativity in a flying camera. Everything looks different from up there. You have so many more possibilities for composing photo and video scenes. Anyway, the colors on the camera are very natural and lifelike. Those shots I enclosed are DNG files converted to JPEG on Snapseed without any adjustments. Last three shots are JPEGs straight out of the drone so you can see that Hasselblad's HNCS color profile look is more than just marketing non-sense. The video I enclosed was shot in H.265 in the regular color mode, not in DLog-M or HLG, to show you what choices the drone made. I do prefer DLog-M to preserve highlights, and to color-grade the footage to my preference. As you can see in that video, the highlights are blown-out in the waves. I highly recommend the Mavic 2 Pro. That little Sony-powered Hasselblad camera is the real deal. Videos look great, too, but you want this model for the photo quality and colors. There are newer DJI drones now, such as the Air 2S, which I also own, and the recently released Mavic 3, but the sensor crop on the Mavic 2 Pro's 4K HQ Mode gives it a cinematic look. It's a unique aesthetic to this drone, plus its video is not ultra-sharp for being 4K, so it looks more filmic and less digital. Peace!

Este dron es MUY bueno... La calidad de imagenes y el tiempo de vuelo son excelentes. Tuve un pequeño problema coa batería, pero la compañía se hizo responsable de la garantía y me la cambiaron sin mucho rollo! Duró 2 meses y falló la batería... Desconocen las causas pero se reemplazó rápido y fácil.

Despite the release of newer models, the Mavic 2 Pro still has the best quality camera. This is probably the only compelling reason to purchase the 'Pro' as it is quite a bit more expensive. WIth the addition of the bundled Smart Controller it is the best of the line for cinematic quality.

The manufacturer’s package was small, but reusable as a carrying case with a handle, shipped expedited in a bulk box with Canada Post, and here in 2 business days. Build quality of the multi-rotor and rubberized transmitter is good. Spare propellers, cables and a A/C charger were included. I recommend getting a 100W car power inverter and a 100 mbps or U3 micro SDHC card for in-car charging and 4k recording before checkout. Personally, I got: Lekufee Waterproof Case for Mavic 2 ZEEY Tablets Cell Phone Bracket ZEEY 2 Pairs 8743F Folding Propeller ZEEY Fast Battery 2 in 1 Car Charger ERAYAK 150W Power Inverter DJI Mavic 2 Intelligent Flight Battery SanDisk 128GB Extreme microSD U3 A2 The omni-directional obstacle avoidance exceeded my expectations. By default, the quad stops moving if it detects an obstacle in the way. In Advanced Pilot Assistance System mode, the quad tries to move around an obstacle. To illustrate how good the obstacle avoidance is, I haven’t replaced the original propellers. Flying restrictions are built into the multi-rotor firmware. Do google TRANSPORT CANADA DRONE for regulations, NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL CANADA UAV for where to fly and PARKS CANADA DRONE for offlimits. Get Airmap, Drone Buddy and B4UFLY on your smartphone for weather/flying conditions and fly zones. If you know cameras and post production editing, get a Pro which has more camera settings than a Zoom. If you just want to fly and take photos and videos, get a Zoom.

Muy satisfecho con el dron, desde que lo tienes por primera vez en mano te das cuenta de la calidad de los materiales, nunca tuve el Mavic Pro original para saber la diferencia pero vengo de un Mavic Mini y este es un Upgrade Brutal en todos los aspectos, aunque el Mavic Mini sigue siendo un excelente dron en las condiciones adecuadas, este dron tiene una señal de transmision increible, no he percibido cortes, congelamiento ni nada parecido, a pesar de volar en un area con posibles interferencias. Mucho más estable incluso con vientos moderados, la calidad de la imagen es realmente buena, yo no soy un profesional, es más un hobbie y que me sirve para compartir en redes sociales y quizás algún proyecto pero nada que no sea posible de realizar con lo basico de programas de edición, así que no me hace falta el sensor de 1” del Mavic 2 Pro, y tampoco suelo hacer vuelos en condiciones de poca luz. Por el contrario el Zoom es una característica que te abre tantas posibilidades creativas, en verdad no me arrepiento de la compra, me hace falta probarlo mucho más pero mi primera impresión es que este dron es excelente y lo recomiendo sin duda

El poder ver el mundo o lugar donde vives desde otra perspectiva es simplemente genial, un dron perfecto con un alcance y prestaciones sorprendentes y el zoom es asombroso. La calidad de imagen y vídeo es muy buena y la duración de la batería es suficiente para tener mucho tiempo de diversión aunque mi recomendación es que adquieras una batería extra para que esa diversión no se vea interrumpida.
