DJI Mavic Pro - Best Drone I've Ever Used #Helpful Post

ey guys johnathan here and super stoked

because I got a chance to spend the last

couple of days with the brand-new DJI

Mavic Pro and so far this may be the

coolest drone I've ever used

 

so without a doubt the most appealing

the most attractive and by far the most

interesting thing about this is its size

it's super compact and honestly when

folded up it is not much bigger than an

iPhone 7 plus which is kind of

ridiculous when you put it into

perspective it only weighs about 1.6

pounds and that combined with its small

footprint makes it perfect for taking it

on the go or traveling you're easily

able to fit this into a bag or a

backpack and while I probably wouldn't

recommend this if you wanted to you

could sandwich it in your pocket

well this yeah this is my package now

from there what is also awesome is the

fact that the setup process is crazy

simple so the way it works when

everything is fully compact and tucked

away all you got to do is extend each of

its four legs to on the top and then two

on the bottom and if you look closely

there's a little plastic cover over the

camera this is simply there for

protection when you're traveling and

taking this back and forth so if you're

going to record anything make sure you

take it off now as far as the camera the

gimbal and the camera body are

physically smaller and more compact but

the sensor is the exact same as a

phantom form you're still getting 4k

video at 24 and 30 frames per second now

if you've been on the internet lately

there's been a little controversy of the

video quality on the amount of acro

maybe isn't so crispy and before I touch

upon that first I want to talk about the

brand new remote control which in a way

directly affects the video quality that

may seem strange and weird but in a

minute everything will make sense so

just like the Maverick pro the

controller is now smaller and more

compact the thumbsticks are detachable

which is a super nice touch it allows

you to easily fit this into your pocket

and while there is a standard USB port

to connect your phone what is killer

about this is there is now a built-in

lightning port so you can connect

cleanly with no cables anywhere there's

a really nice blend of information

between the controller itself and your

phone and what's really nice is the

controller will display any errors

before you're flying so in this case you

can see there is a problem with the SD

card so in this case instead of flying

the drone and thinking you recording

video only to find out there was a

problem later with the SD card we are

easily able to see it first and address

that problem before taking off now

jumping back to the Maverick Pro for a

second if you look closely there is a

tiny switch that'll let you go back and

forth between RC and Wi-Fi mode and what

that does is allows you to fly the

Maverick pro with only your phone and no

remote control regardless though whether

using the phone by itself or with the

control or the single most important

thing to remember

for flying or recording is that there is

now tapped to focus so this is actually

brand new and something we hadn't seen

before DJI it's very similar to how you

pull focus on a smartphone camera which

was the idea behind it the problem is

those if you don't tap the focus

nothing will be in focus so in my

experience the footage has looked really

really good I will definitely say it is

not as sharp as the phantom 4 but almost

in a good way for me personally the

footage from a phantom 4 was very

similar to what Samsung cameras do to

photos the video they're very saturated

in almost over sharp which may be a good

thing depending on your preference but

in my case I like having the flexibility

of being able to tweak that in post I

also got a chance to really push the

camera in two completely different

situations this footage right here was

right around 1:00 p.m. with the Sun

beaming down as bright as it possibly

could be in Southern California normally

you would definitely want an ND with

this much light but you can see the

camera actually holds up really well on

a maverick Pro also the footage you're

looking at here is untouched unaltered

straight out of the Maverick Pro camera

this is the stock picture profile which

you get right out of the box I did go

ahead and get a chance to mess with D

log mode so you can see this is

completely ungraded superflat and then

from here you can see the difference

adding a grade on top now opposite of

the footage in the blistering bright Sun

this was about 15 minutes after sundown

there was a little bit of light left but

not much and you can definitely see some

noise because we were really pushing

this with light but overall I thought

the footage looked awesome and the

stabilization was fantastic so up to 48

hours consider me impressed hopefully

enjoy the video if you did and you are

feeling like being awesome make sure you

like move it move it or knock back

button if you guys want to be featured

in a video just like this make sure you

add me on snapchat and just look out for

the next time I ask you to send me a

snap this is Jonathan and I will catch

you guys later
