It's great to hear an opinion of the Mavic that we can all trust! Thanks for taking the time to put this together, and for flying in a safe location. Hopefully the Mavic (Pro) stands up to the test of time with its new folding arm feature.
I used to have a DJI Inspire 1 which was amazing, but it was way too hard to get it from point A to point B when travelling. Especially hiking. That's why the Mavic rocks. You can even put it in with your normal camera bag. Love it! The most practical travel drone yet!
BleepinJeep it depends what flight mode you put it in, with trace it will buy with other modes the drone is flying sideways so the obstacle avoidance sensor won’t see the object
Good review, thx I love the Mavic Pro, the easiest drone to fly. I got it last week, with a couple youtube videos I was up on the air, it handles very easy. impressive footage, I did my editing with Final Cut. EASY!!!!! all done in the same day. I went hiking; my bottle water was heavier then my Mavic Pro. I LOVE IT, great work DJI.
I saw the KARMA at oppenheimer drone day, a review before its launched would be awesome. Doesn't look like they are sending out any review models pre-production though, even to people like FliteTest
All i can think of for a comparison.. It's much longer, Uses a gopro fisheye lens(though has onboard image correction) 7x less range than this at 1000km(.6 miles) 30% less battery life. has a free carry gimbal(but its battery life is 1hr claimed only) Limited smart programming. Doesn't require the phone(tsh who carries a phone) I love to see a review from these chaps as they seem to be more inline from the angle I see things. Certainly more technical than most.
Excellent video! Would have liked to see more information on how the phone connects to the controller and what's included in the box, but overall awesome review video with tons of helpful information.
Deliveries are supposed to start getting sent from China today, but they're seriously overwhelmed by record sales. If you order today the likelyhood is that it'll be at least a month before they send it, maybe more. No one really knows.
i ordered on the 8th October in UK, was told shipping starts on 15th, and now got an email last night saying DJI has delayed shipping by another week at least..
I ordered on the 3rd in the US and have not heard anything. Considering what I have read around the net many ordered soon as you could order and the site went down it was so busy.
Indeed it can! In the box, there are both Lightning and microUSB cables. If you need USB-C, DJI will sell that separately ($8), or you can use a USBC-to-USBA cable and connect it to the USB port on the bottom of the controller.
Annnnd I'm sold. I have been thinking about jumping into this hobby, but didn't know where to start. After some research and patience, I am absolutely sold on the Mavic Pro. Gonna order one! Nice video!
ockay16 It seems that the Karma has a more detailed and more crisp image thanks to the GoPro. The Mavic Image Quality is a slightly under the quality of a Phantom 4 from what I saw. Still amazing quality and for someone who isn't a professional photographer or movie maker, it's really good enough.
Researching purchasing my first drone. Needed some no non-sense advice and product sampling. You 2 delivered both. I'll be subscribing and looking forward to more in-depth reviews. Thanks guys!
Been looking at buying my first Drone. Looking at the Mavic for a few days and loved your review. I live in Newcastle England UK. AND I JUST LOVE WHERE YOU GUYS LIVE. Looks so nice, warm, sunny, spacious and I've always wanted to live in America! Anyway back to your review thanks and I think I will be saving a little bit longer so I can afford a Mavic Pro. Thanks
Yes, the Mavic will work in exactly the same way. Just note that there are no sensors in the arms, so don't try to activate the motors; that would get messy!
Nice job. Probably the best review I've seen on the Mavic. Will likely get one, but will wait until next Spring, since Winter is nigh, and it's hard to fly with frozen fingers.
this drone is basically dummy proof, it has crash avoidence so you can even fly it indoors without hitting walls roof or hard landings on the floor, it hovers in place inside and out....etc etc you will find it easy to fly
I Walked into best buy and ran into the drones display. I came home and did some research and the Mavic Pro caught my eye. After watching this video, I had to do it! I had it checked out online and its on its way, great job guys on the details.
The Mavic seems to be better in every point except by far the most important one for me, the camera quality. I've not been impressed with any of the videos so far, the Phantom 4 and Karma clearly have much better results. The Mavic could be the size of a matchbox with 1000 environment sensors but that counts for little if the resulting videos are all soft or out of focus.
I have seen videos that were soft, but later learned that the pilot did not focus the camera by touching the screen. This may be part of the problem, not sure.
Anytime you get a free product, the review is absolutely skewed. There's no way to be unbiased unless you've spent your own hard-earned money. Because problems are much more frustrating and you're less likely to forgive.
I think he flew it in a city (NYC of course), between buildings as well. Lots of signal interference from buildings (impacts RC control and satellite positioning too), and by the sounds of it he probably flew behind a building which disrupted LOS control of the drone too. Lesson is to never fly in a city, and if you have to fly in a city, always do short range LOS only. That goes for any drone, whether it's a Mavic, Phantom, Solo, Karma or toy helicopter.
Casey is an irresponsible idiot. The mavic is not in fault. he went full out of range, miles beyond out of range, and when he lost signal he didnt hit return to home and let the battery drain as he 'looked for' it. Nothing wrong with the quad, just bad quad user. But you know, doesnt matter its not like hes the one paying for his own toys
Great review of the Mavic Pro guys. Reviews like yours really do help in deciding on which would suit the novice like me. Lots of content regarding the Mavic Pro and has helped me make a decision on my preference for a drone. Thank you.
I am so surprised at how mature these platforms have become, I mean I know drones have been around for decades but the last couple of years have seen tremendous growth in this area
No... check images of other Mavics or even DJI promo pictures of Mavic; it's a gimbal join, it's there as part of the design. If you suspected it's a crack, it is easy to do an image search of the drone from other places and see if it's there in other pictures and videos. E.g., one picture; i.imgur.com/8KQmi7d.jpg others are easily accessible by searching, all showing the same join at the same site...
the little horizontal black line on the gimble? No, it's for the gimble to move vertically, if it didn't have a small cut there, it would only move horizontally
The customers' service of DJI is quite progressing! I had a crash the first day I had the Mavic. DJI immediately took the transport in charge and in less than two weeks I had my drone back! Replacement of one arm and of the gimbal: only 35€! :D
Thanks for the video on the Mavic Pro. What lake where you on when you did the testing where you had the pontoon boat? Sorry for the question just interested, looked like a really nice area
I was hoping they would touch on how DJI reserves the right to report you to the FAA if you fly over 400ft vertically at their discretion. The users manual (from DJI's website) discuss how DJI records all of your flight data and sends it back to their headquarters. There is no option to turn this off and you can not opt out of it. Why would the community put up with this? Mind you, this is straight from DJI, not some fringe source.
Can anyone help me choose a drone I am tied between GoPro karma and dji mavic pro, I like the karma because it comes with the hand stabilizer and the back pack, but I know the mavic is the better drone, I am an adventurous person where the hand stabilizer will come in handy, also I like the Karma because I have a GoPro 4 and I would like the 5 becAuse of 4K and overall quality any suggestions to which drone I should get, thanks
fubbzywubbzy x I just bought the karma 2 days ago and it does things that I really do not like. I let it hover for a bit and I was talking to some guy about it and it started to land by itself to me that's a no no because if I had done that over a body of water and wasn't paying attention then I would've been bye bye karma and I noticed as well that when u let it hover it drifts side to side at times and that's a big let down as well because u will not get the shot u want so I'm going to return my karma and get the mavic because it doesn't do any of that and it has better features
It can't be denied that the Flite Test format has morphed over the last few years. It used to be primarily about entertainment and education. However as the Flite Test "Brand" has evolved there has been more emphasis on the products they produce and sell which is fair as we all need some form of income, and it can't be argued that the products they produce are excellent value for money if you live in the Continental United States. Though I do believe a lot of the original content has been lost to make room for the promoting of other companies off the shelf RTF products. Their last tutorial tips and tricks video was for thrust vectoring which was three months ago. In the past if they reviewed another company's product they would announce that the episode had been sponsored by that company e.g. HobbyKing and Horizon Hobby. I personally don't regard any uploads of the Mavic Pro as a review but more as advertisements for the product as they have all been provided free. When we actually see them in the hands of bonafide customers only then can we be sure of seeing genuine reviews. Regards. Nidge.
Relax man, when Flite test is testing something it's completely honest, if there is a feature that does not work they'll tell you about it, and if something comes up in the future, like a long therm problem they'll make a video about it.
Given the reliability I've seen in their other videos when I've tried the hardware myself? I'm inclined to believe that they're being totally honest. Especially seeing the other reviews I've seen of this now that it's out that almost entirely agree. This is just *that good* of a quad.
So glad you guys rated it so high! I just pulled the trigger on one before watching your review! Bit of an impulse buy, but it sounds like I won’t be disappointed when it arrives! Cheers.
Not everything made in China is cost-oriented/cheap/knockoff as is mostly the case.. There are some cutting edge products being made by Chinese R&D companies.. For example : Lenovo (is completely engineered by the Chinese now - IBM is no longer involved in any manner).. FiiO , DJI , Dalian Wanda (Luxury retail, entertainment & services company) are all fully Chinese owned.. A lot of great high-quality stuff comes from China too :)
Thanks Guys for the awesome review...1st I was about to strike the deal with Karm 2017, then later streaming down came across Mavic Pro...This is really one of the awesome best drones created...9.20/10 by you Drone Master's makes it the best to buy.

It's great to hear an opinion of the Mavic that we can all trust! Thanks for taking the time to put this together, and for flying in a safe location. Hopefully the Mavic (Pro) stands up to the test of time with its new folding arm feature.
TheRcSaylors nice to see you here :D
TheRcSaylors Thanks guys!
Thanks Sheep! We Love the FT Guys and all they do for our awesome hobby.
You guys caused me a very expensive drunken purchase!!! LOL it comes in tomorrow I'm so excited!
So how is it my dude?
same! hopefully it's easy to handle, mine arrives tomorrow
It's amazing! I'm very happy with my purchase. Thank you guys!
Austin Moverley it's super easy to fly. You're going to love it!
lol the best type of purchase
I used to have a DJI Inspire 1 which was amazing, but it was way too hard to get it from point A to point B when travelling. Especially hiking. That's why the Mavic rocks. You can even put it in with your normal camera bag. Love it! The most practical travel drone yet!
Never mentioned obstacle avoidance? If you set it up to follow you, will it avoid the trees?
BleepinJeep it depends what flight mode you put it in, with trace it will buy with other modes the drone is flying sideways so the obstacle avoidance sensor won’t see the object
never liked phantoms.....but fell in love with the mavic....
agree
alisher rakhimov - Love my Phantom 4 but I'm also getting the Mavic because it's everything the Phantom 4 is, and more, and less :)
This Mavic is what I have been picturing in an aerial camera for long time
alisher rakhimov was not a fan of the plug and play phantom drones, this has my interest
Grab the DJI Mavic now with a really nice deal compared to the Karma: click.dji.com/AJ17vFNtDQqmSArv9Kk?pm=link&as=0002
Thanks for the awesome full review!!!! First real completely trusted review out there :-)
There are actually some really solid reviews out there but we do our best to be thorough. 👍 Thanks for the kind words!
watching this in 2023, this was my first drone, it's amazing how far drones have come and also how ahead of its time this drone was.
10/10 T-Rex impression.
Good review, thx
I love the Mavic Pro, the easiest drone to fly. I got it last week, with a couple youtube videos I was up on the air, it handles very easy. impressive footage, I did my editing with Final Cut. EASY!!!!! all done in the same day. I went hiking; my bottle water was heavier then my Mavic Pro. I LOVE IT, great work DJI.
Can you do a review on the gopro KARMA
I saw the KARMA at oppenheimer drone day, a review before its launched would be awesome. Doesn't look like they are sending out any review models pre-production though, even to people like FliteTest
All i can think of for a comparison..

Sure, we would love to.
Brian Eastwood It can fly 1000km? So the Mavic can fly 7000km? Haha xD
haha,, yeah sure.. m.. sorry ;)
Finally! A REALLY great review on the Mavic. Well done!!
Throwing money at screen. Not working.
Did you try throwing credit cards too?
send it to me , i have a special screen to do it !! ;)
BuckeyeStorms Ye that only works if you had my screen
try throwing it my direction,

Great review 👍
Thanks
Awesome! Nice video Austin and Alex! Hey can you ask DJI to send me one too 😂
i'll get right on that man! haha -alex
It is a lot of money but if I had the odd 1000 I would get it
when i can afford to burn a grand at the casino ill buy one of these instead. i think DJI is kicking gopros ass.
Hi
Dji needs to hurry up and take my money.
Took my money already. I just need it to ship.
***** As far as i know.. Starting mid Oct delivered as ordered, if you order now exp mid nov.
Deliveries are supposed to start getting sent from China today, but they're seriously overwhelmed by record sales. If you order today the likelyhood is that it'll be at least a month before they send it, maybe more. No one really knows.
i ordered on the 8th October in UK, was told shipping starts on 15th, and now got an email last night saying DJI has delayed shipping by another week at least..
I ordered on the 3rd in the US and have not heard anything. Considering what I have read around the net many ordered soon as you could order and the site went down it was so busy.
15:44 the plug in the controller is the iPhone type. Can Android phones be used in the controller?
Indeed it can! In the box, there are both Lightning and microUSB cables. If you need USB-C, DJI will sell that separately ($8), or you can use a USBC-to-USBA cable and connect it to the USB port on the bottom of the controller.
Cheers for the info.
Yes. According to DJI it also supports Android.
But how large of a phone will fit? what about tablet support or even mini ipads?
Ron Devine I believe it supports up to 160mm devices, which is scary cause mine is 159.3mm
Hands down best review I've ever seen on anything. LEGIT. Thank you for such an indepth review!
Annnnd I'm sold. I have been thinking about jumping into this hobby, but didn't know where to start. After some research and patience, I am absolutely sold on the Mavic Pro. Gonna order one! Nice video!
Cheers guys great review. Have you chased a plane with it yet ?.
nige1967 Yes, but not ideal with the narrow field of view. Also a high risk, low reward activity ;) -Austin
FliteTest ok thanks for the reply 👍🏻
Tom Breathnach a review of the typhoon is coming too friend. :)
Tom Breathnach thank you for the insight brother!
You have to test the GoPro karma
Cenzo Senerchia LOL !!
Quite simple, worst in every point they took for the Mavic except maybe for the camera part.
Well correct me if I'm wrong but the GoPro camera creates a fish eye effect so this one is better too.
ockay16
It seems that the Karma has a more detailed and more crisp image thanks to the GoPro. The Mavic Image Quality is a slightly under the quality of a Phantom 4 from what I saw. Still amazing quality and for someone who isn't a professional photographer or movie maker, it's really good enough.
I feel like for 1000$ it should be more then good enough
Best product, I've ordered one :)
how did you like it?
Researching purchasing my first drone. Needed some no non-sense advice and product sampling. You 2 delivered both. I'll be subscribing and looking forward to more in-depth reviews. Thanks guys!
Been looking at buying my first Drone. Looking at the Mavic for a few days and loved your review. I live in Newcastle England UK. AND I JUST LOVE WHERE YOU GUYS LIVE. Looks so nice, warm, sunny, spacious and I've always wanted to live in America!
Anyway back to your review thanks and I think I will be saving a little bit longer so I can afford a Mavic Pro. Thanks
This is an awesome drone, don't know what to do with my brand new, but now old Dji Phantom 3 professional.
Give it to your son
How do u know I have a son, lol ... of course I have but he is just turned 3 today ... thank you for the advice lol ;)
Fly High good
Ill buy it lol
Crash it in an accident and buy a new one lol
I use my phantom as a steady cam by holding the landing gear . can you fold up the arms and still be able to film with the mavic ?
good question, i wish to know too
Yes, the Mavic will work in exactly the same way. Just note that there are no sensors in the arms, so don't try to activate the motors; that would get messy!
Hahaha, Thank you Morgan .
The gopro karma has a removable gimble designed to be used hand held.
Old Smoky Rv I am afraid the Go pro isn't in the ball park . It just doesn't have the features and is huge in comparison . cheers though .
Nice job. Probably the best review I've seen on the Mavic. Will likely get one, but will wait until next Spring, since Winter is nigh, and it's hard to fly with frozen fingers.
Bill Somrak Price will likely come down in 6mo or so too :)
Bill Somrak lhhrihhri
Bill Somrak hopefully cost will come down a little too!
Just bought the Platinum! This drone is definitely a winner!
First time here ... new subscriber, very clean and effective video thanks guys
will you review the GoPro?
I believe we are planning on it, but still unsure at this point! ;)
Thanks for watching Todd!
Blessings,
S.O.
Just seen! See above re: Gitup Git2 camera. It would make a good back-to-back test. Git2 has long list of features.........
Wow, great video! It seriously didn't feel like 17 minutes, it felt like 3.
Kommentator Time travel!
This will be my first drone, Will I fnd it hard to fly, Im worrying about crashing it
Kieran Lehane Get a small cheap one first to learn the basics
I've heard there very easy to fly?
Kieran Lehane Yes, but it's better to break a cheap drone than this one while learning to fly.
I guess, don't want to spend too much though, I dont know how I could crash this, just nervous
this drone is basically dummy proof, it has crash avoidence so you can even fly it indoors without hitting walls roof or hard landings on the floor, it hovers in place inside and out....etc etc you will find it easy to fly
That bird shot at 16 min is crazy. Can't believe you weren't worried about losing the drone. Amazinf
I Walked into best buy and ran into the drones display. I came home and did some research and the Mavic Pro caught my eye. After watching this video, I had to do it! I had it checked out online and its on its way, great job guys on the details.
please test the go pro karma drone
yesssssss
The Mavic is better in EVERY point. The Karma is more like a little Gadget for the GoPro, but not even comparable to Mavic Pros.
The Karma sucks.
The Mavic seems to be better in every point except by far the most important one for me, the camera quality. I've not been impressed with any of the videos so far, the Phantom 4 and Karma clearly have much better results. The Mavic could be the size of a matchbox with 1000 environment sensors but that counts for little if the resulting videos are all soft or out of focus.
I have seen videos that were soft, but later learned that the pilot did not focus the camera by touching the screen. This may be part of the problem, not sure.
The size of it is remarkable for how big it is..
0:40
so the remote controller does not have a screen right? it looks like you need to use your smartphone?
Was thinking about getting one of these but wasn't quite sure on the features and capability. Think I'm pretty sold on it now! Awesome video!!
I liked the birds evasive maneuvers in the lake. Great review guys.
ordered mine today. coast around $1,087. Can't wait
Jesus, that shot with the birds flying past was a bit risky!
I was thinking that. All you'd need is for one of them to clip one of the props and you'd have an injured bird and a dead drone.
11:51 best 5 seconds of any review on YT, esp when the overlaid audio is "when you're going for a walk in the park with your family."
Awesome comparison and review. What did you use to post process the footage?
Great review. Does it record to your smartphone, or internally so files require to be downloaded? Thanks
Anytime you get a free product, the review is absolutely skewed. There's no way to be unbiased unless you've spent your own hard-earned money. Because problems are much more frustrating and you're less likely to forgive.
Plus, how can you claim you aren't getting payed / sponsored when you received a 1000 dollar drone for free.
+FliteTest can you guys make a video about how to set up a mavic pro in the settings and talk more about the smart features of the mavic pro
how did Casy niestat lose his?
George Casey is a drone killer.
I think he flew it in a city (NYC of course), between buildings as well. Lots of signal interference from buildings (impacts RC control and satellite positioning too), and by the sounds of it he probably flew behind a building which disrupted LOS control of the drone too. Lesson is to never fly in a city, and if you have to fly in a city, always do short range LOS only. That goes for any drone, whether it's a Mavic, Phantom, Solo, Karma or toy helicopter.
Casey is an irresponsible idiot. The mavic is not in fault. he went full out of range, miles beyond out of range, and when he lost signal he didnt hit return to home and let the battery drain as he 'looked for' it. Nothing wrong with the quad, just bad quad user. But you know, doesnt matter its not like hes the one paying for his own toys
if hes gonna support killary, i dont feel the least bit sorry for him. im glad it happened to him.
***** neither do i. was thinking of unsubscribing way before that video and the video has officially made me. dudes annoying as heck
Great review of the Mavic Pro guys. Reviews like yours really do help in deciding on which would suit the novice like me. Lots of content regarding the Mavic Pro and has helped me make a decision on my preference for a drone. Thank you.
I am so surprised at how mature these platforms have become, I mean I know drones have been around for decades but the last couple of years have seen tremendous growth in this area
I have yet to see anyone attempt flying the Mavic long distance. Certainly taking chances, but we need to see a field test of this claim.
there is one video I watched it a few days ago I don't remember who it's by though but they did a max range test
I saw a chinese review that has it fly 7km and return. Video feed on the remote was consistent.
I have seen a video testing to 3 miles on RUclips without any problems whatsoever...
I sees dead peoples
Brian Levy Great !! can you tell me the RUclipsr name ,please I want to see that !!
6:13 is that a crack on the gimble?
No... check images of other Mavics or even DJI promo pictures of Mavic; it's a gimbal join, it's there as part of the design. If you suspected it's a crack, it is easy to do an image search of the drone from other places and see if it's there in other pictures and videos.
E.g., one picture; i.imgur.com/8KQmi7d.jpg others are easily accessible by searching, all showing the same join at the same site...
That's no crack, it's part of the shrouding!
the little horizontal black line on the gimble?
No, it's for the gimble to move vertically, if it didn't have a small cut there, it would only move horizontally
Jakub Opolski Yep, part of the design.
The customers' service of DJI is quite progressing! I had a crash the first day I had the Mavic. DJI immediately took the transport in charge and in less than two weeks I had my drone back! Replacement of one arm and of the gimbal: only 35€! :D
enjoyed watching the video on the DJI mavic Pro. Interesting information well explained. Love to hear more from you guys
I wish I had a mavic DJI. Thanks guys for your review.
so what next? DJI MAXXIS? DJI DTSWISS? DJI ENVE?
Inspire 2, I believe
DJI MTB edition! ))
DA WN DJI CUBE and DJI SCOTT are coming right after that
is it just me or is casey neistat like a living advertisement for DJI, haha and nice vid ! I enjoyed watching it !
You haven't even finished it smh
Help Dead inside I've enjoyed it so far I meant to say, 😀
ukulele man not really, he just likes using the best drone
drink15
Not when he did the karma video, he knocked the P4 off the table. But yeah recovered the DJI love since he had the mavic.
Trying to insert $100 dollar bills into my dvd slit and it doest work
Definitely buying one for my channel. Great review, thanks guys!
Once again great review the 2 of you work well together I know I will watch this one again. Thank You
Has anyone at your shop gotten the new Mavic Pro Platnum? It's 11/26/17 as I write this!
Roses are red
My name is Dave
This poem makes no sense
Microwave.
XD i like random shit like that. its funny.
It makes even less sense because your name is actually Dennis
sky high fly old and boring, get current or get out.
o0julek0o 51 likes explains it all
Roses ARE red
They say violets are “blue”
Your poem SUCKS!
And so do YOU!!
Much prefer the mavic video and stability and what not. Also prefer the looks
Ya it looks pretty cool
Guvius RATTPACK ALL DAY BOI PLP✌🏻❤️➕
I want to get a quadcopter but the DJI MAVIC is a little out of my price range. Is the DJI PHANTOM 3 a good one to get? Or is there a better one?
David Phillips phantom 3 standard if you are on a budget.
David Phillips if you haven't already brought one get the phantom 3 4K
Get a blade inductrix instead costs about 100$
Awesome review, I have one concern, what happens when you fly this near high tension electric wires.
still is there any idea of how close it can fly
Thanks for the video on the Mavic Pro. What lake where you on when you did the testing where you had the pontoon boat?
Sorry for the question just interested, looked like a really nice area
2:18 Note 7? XD
You know you've "made it" in life when you have a half mile long drive-way leading to a house in the country side.
Dr. Doom not when there are still 80 other houses right next to you lol
I was hoping they would touch on how DJI reserves the right to report you to the FAA if you fly over 400ft vertically at their discretion. The users manual (from DJI's website) discuss how DJI records all of your flight data and sends it back to their headquarters. There is no option to turn this off and you can not opt out of it. Why would the community put up with this? Mind you, this is straight from DJI, not some fringe source.
offlanders Because its against the law and the FDA probley got a deal with them. With all the problems recently involving this, i can see why
Why is that a bad thing?
I'm curious as to why the Food and Drug Administration is dabbling in aerial photography. Lol, I believe you mean the FAA.
that DJI mavic pro is badass.i also noticed that ya'll build as well.which is awesome.keep up the great work and keep making videos.
Best review yet! Thank's guys
Can anyone help me choose a drone I am tied between GoPro karma and dji mavic pro, I like the karma because it comes with the hand stabilizer and the back pack, but I know the mavic is the better drone, I am an adventurous person where the hand stabilizer will come in handy, also I like the Karma because I have a GoPro 4 and I would like the 5 becAuse of 4K and overall quality any suggestions to which drone I should get, thanks
fubbzywubbzy x me to I Dont know which to get lol
You said it yourself. The Mavic is the superior drone. Karma is just a simple drone that comes with goodies in my opinion.
fubbzywubbzy x I just bought the karma 2 days ago and it does things that I really do not like. I let it hover for a bit and I was talking to some guy about it and it started to land by itself to me that's a no no because if I had done that over a body of water and wasn't paying attention then I would've been bye bye karma and I noticed as well that when u let it hover it drifts side to side at times and that's a big let down as well because u will not get the shot u want so I'm going to return my karma and get the mavic because it doesn't do any of that and it has better features
fubbzywubbzy x dji is the best

E- Streaks You can ask anything. Not sure you will get a response.
Just bought one off the back of this review- well done guys
Very good review guys.I am a novice to drones right now and I find your info on this drone very helpful. Thanks much.
im wanna the mavic
=( alot of money =(
I have it and it's super guuuud!!
It`s not a paid video??? Free drone? 1000 dollar drone? What happend if you say something bad about it? No more free drone in future.....
It really wouldn’t matter to them if DJI didn’t send a free one.
***** Have you ever followed this channel before?
It can't be denied that the Flite Test format has morphed over the last few years. It used to be primarily about entertainment and education. However as the Flite Test "Brand" has evolved there has been more emphasis on the products they produce and sell which is fair as we all need some form of income, and it can't be argued that the products they produce are excellent value for money if you live in the Continental United States. Though I do believe a lot of the original content has been lost to make room for the promoting of other companies off the shelf RTF products. Their last tutorial tips and tricks video was for thrust vectoring which was three months ago. In the past if they reviewed another company's product they would announce that the episode had been sponsored by that company e.g. HobbyKing and Horizon Hobby. I personally don't regard any uploads of the Mavic Pro as a review but more as advertisements for the product as they have all been provided free. When we actually see them in the hands of bonafide customers only then can we be sure of seeing genuine reviews.

Relax man, when Flite test is testing something it's completely honest, if there is a feature that does not work they'll tell you about it, and if something comes up in the future, like a long therm problem they'll make a video about it.
Flite Test could absolutely live with "no more free drone in future" though...
I love your channel!
I just saw the DJI mavic review today and love it and ended up watching other videos and love all
Thanks for using a number rating system with a full explanation for why it earned the paticular scores. Well done and informative...much appreciated.

The only way I would buy one is if I could use some Fat Shark goggles with them. Why limit the buyer?
You not being paid for your review but they send you a almost $1000 drone for free...HELLO I believe in my coutry its called bribery ;)
Tommy K absolutely agree. If you spend your own money on something... problems are a lot more frustrating. Skewed review is what this is. Bias.
The perk of being a famous youtuber.
Given the reliability I've seen in their other videos when I've tried the hardware myself? I'm inclined to believe that they're being totally honest. Especially seeing the other reviews I've seen of this now that it's out that almost entirely agree. This is just *that good* of a quad.
So glad you guys rated it so high! I just pulled the trigger on one before watching your review! Bit of an impulse buy, but it sounds like I won’t be disappointed when it arrives! Cheers.
Hi Flitetest, did you edit the raw footage of the mavic? Any color grading or is it just the raw footage as it came?
made in China and designed by China
Racism.
Who said there is something wrong with that?
L LD Once a US manufacturer has something comparable many of us will go with it. Key word - comparable.
Not everything made in China is cost-oriented/cheap/knockoff as is mostly the case.. There are some cutting edge products being made by Chinese R&D companies.. For example : Lenovo (is completely engineered by the Chinese now - IBM is no longer involved in any manner).. FiiO , DJI , Dalian Wanda (Luxury retail, entertainment & services company) are all fully Chinese owned.. A lot of great high-quality stuff comes from China too :)
Garbage then made by children.
Good vid! Does the Mavic have digital zoom while in flight?
Great review Guys.....enjoyed it alot!
Very instructive and helpful. Thanks a lot guys! Your channel is wonderful. I just discovered it.
Have you guys had chance to review the Air Dog drone?
Best review ive seen yet guys , nice one deffo made my mind up to wait for the Mavic as opposed to the Phantom 4
17:05 ... really liked that bird's collision avoidance, 10/10 for me... must buy hahahahahahha
Nice review, one question. I noticed under the controller you mount a phone. What phones does it support? What type of connector does it use?
Awesome review! Super helpful and I am a semi new to drones so was helpful to see the comparison. Thanks!
Great review, no BS, and straight to what we needed. Thanks guys!
Beautifully done video. Great review and analysis.
Great review guys!
This is a great review. I appreciate it. I'm new to drones and I think you guys just might've sold me onto one.
Thanks Guys for the awesome review...1st I was about to strike the deal with Karm 2017, then later streaming down came across Mavic Pro...This is really one of the awesome best drones created...9.20/10 by you Drone Master's makes it the best to buy.
You guys live right down the road from me! I am planning on getting into drones in 2017
