- Let's take an in-depth look at the DJI Mavic Pro (goo.gl/AUxgpy), DJIs most compact drone and maybe even new flagship. I have been taking it to the test for more than two weeks and can show you all it's pros and cons. I tested the flight modes, the batteries, the durability and overall safety, I checked whether it's a good investment or not. All links can be found below.

![DJI Mavic Pro - Complete Comparison to Phantom 4 - In Depth Review Part 2/3 [4K]](/img/1.gif)
From what I've seen in other Mavic Pro videos, the plastic piece covering the lens isn't supposed to stay on during flight. It's meant as a protective cover while you transport the drone.
Oui, oui. But it would have been a really good idea for some extra in-flight safety. Stay tuned and fly safe!
Tom's Tech Time Oh yea. When I saw the plastic cover, I thought the same as you. But, I also realized, as you did, that it would create problems in certain situations. So, hopefully, they will incorporate a piece that doubles as protection and an in-flight cover without issues. Great video, by the way.
The protection cap is meant to be removed, absolutely not to be used during recording, it will cause poor image quality, as you may have realized !
Wolfie km xxxxxxxxxxxxx,,xx by I hgffffrrrrrruuuu
also cause overheating due to it blocking the air intake
Angry Reviews Thank you they are thinking it is protecting the camera but your drone is over hearing instead of protecting your gimbal and your camera
the cap is not for flying.. its for storage
Tom; I follow all of your videos and can say they have been so so helpful. This is another one which was very well done by you. Thank you very much.

Tom's Tech Time For free ? Tell that to the 5 ads you made me watch to see your content.... some people I swear 😒
Tom's Tech Time y
There are vents that goto a fan that are blocked with the lens cover on.
I saw in another video how the iPad fits. Remove the cable from the arm slot, angle the arms out and the corners of an iPad fit in the arm slots at an angle
Tom's Tech Time hello I would like to buy I drone but my budget is 1200 wich one you think is the best . thanks
Hi,One question: Can I use the Mavic as a regular camcorder?
The most in depth review of the mavic pro yet. Thank you. I want to get one of these for moto adventure.
Yes, it's a great little tool. Please purchase your machine through my link to support my work for free: goo.gl/AUxgpy. Stay tuned and fly safe!
I have been following DJI for a couple of years, and now am ready to buy. The Mavic is an incredible accomplishment.
Thank you very very much for that excellent review and how-to. It is the best I have seen to date.
One of, if not , The best drone test videos I have ever seen ! Well done ! Keep up the awesome work. I will be back for more.
is this your full time job ?? the production quality for this video is ming boggling...i cannot imagine the amount of effort/time it would have needed for you to bring this video out.
seriously amazing video!!
all the best
After watching this excellent video, why on earth would any one even consider or waste their money on a GoPro Karma.
Better video quality and no prop shadows on the lens ever? Hand held gimbal, built in screen on the controller etc etc. Obvious really.
The Karma is junk compared, I agree.
Maybe GoPro employee?
For the drone alone, probable not, but I'm one user that would probably buy the Karma grip and a gopro hero 5 on top of my mavic. Very impressed with the karma gimbal and its price point compared to the osmo
Yu Chen GoPro best stick to making camera's and just that then.
The best detailed breakdown review of the Mavic! Awesome work. Thank you!! Keep it up. Love the nitty gritty details.. there's never too much information.
I have been watching videos of the Mavic Pro for months now and this is the best video for learning an array of information.!!
Best review so far.
fixed pint focus is only for point up to 25 meters away. Tap the screen on anything beyon 25 meters away and the camera goes into INFINITE focus mode....
Pathfinder24Flims Yeah, that error in the video was bugging me too.
Thanks for sharing.
Hey Tom, I'm glad I came across this video and your channel. You delivered a great presentation on this product and I can't wait till I get my hands on one for filming. Thanks heaps!
this is a serious and really well made professional review, the best I've seen and more complete till now... thx! take care dude.
I still don't watched the vid....but thanks you dio much for this dude!!! thumbs up
Were you shooting with the gimbal protector on? As I understand, this is for protection when transporting! You can't get the best image when shooting through a piece of crappy, curved plastic!
Hey, no, he shooted without the gimbal protector and without this plastic bubble :)
Verena Reusch he kept saying that DJI should make the plastic bubble better so there is less distortion when shooting through it
Hey, I shooted without the bubble.
Tom's Tech Time ok, cool. it's because you said twice that DJI should make it better for shooting. I think they should make it frosted plastic so it is impossible to shoot through and so no mistakes!
Hey, yeah, I think it would be awesome to have a case for the camera because when for example wind comes up it's simply more protected... And I just wanted to mention, that when they deliver a protection for the camera, it would have been great if the people could have used it for filming aswell...
Same as you mentioned.
Stay tuned, fly safe!
Hi Tom! Absolut gutes, informatives Video! Bin schon so gespannt wann sie endlich ausgeliefert wird ;) und natürlich auf weitere Videos von dir :)
One of the best review I have seen on youtube. Great job and thanks for the efforts!
Great review :)
I believe the plastic bubble is just to protect the camera during transport.
James Murphy
that's correct. it's strictly to protect the camera/gimbal during transport.
It being removable is a plus, and then some.
When I saw the first pic of the drone. My first.... well maybe second or third thought was. God I hope that thing is removable with out much fuss. I give it a thumbs up. It's a practical option.
Yes, it's not supposed to be used during filming. But that's not the point. The Karmas camera (the GoPro) is safe when it bumps into something, while the DJI would probably brake. The bubble would have been a really nice bit of extra protection. Stay tuned and fly safe!
This was the best review video of any product on this site. All I have to do now is figure out is where to get $1300 from.
I guess I could skip eating for a while
Be thankful you're not in Australia. $2200 here.
Yikes!
Nope, I paid $1699Aud on the DJI site.
Vee Really? Was that just the Mavic and the remote? Or was that with the extra batteries etc.?
Have watched around 10 other reviews of mavic so far.... You, Sir... NAILED IT! Subscribing!
Nice video as always Tom. You answered alot of questions I had about the Mavic. Thanks.
The plastic bubble is just for transport, not for use during flight time.
jafs65 no you can fly with bubble not with global lock..js
edward nygard the front has vents for air ventilation, the plastic bubble makes it so air can't go through which can lead to overheating
The plastic bubble is only for protection when transporting the drone. You are supposed to take it off when flying....
A very well produced video, one of the best of the kind I have seen on RUclips..
Cheers Tom, Best review of the Mavic I've seen yet. Can't wait till my Mavic arrives.
isn't the plastic bubble only for lens protection in transit - you don't need to fly with it.
Yes, that is it's primary purpose, but when asked about how to protect the gimbal during flight (like a Gimbal Guard for other drones), DJI themselves recommended that you use the plastic bubble in flight for that purpose. Currently, That plastic bubble is the only option on the market if you'd like to protect the very vulnerable gimbal in flight (when landing to be more specific).
Devon VP - just seen an unboxing and it was black and couldn't be used a clear cover.
Anomaly? Maybe they changed their minds about it? You can watch DJI recommend it as an in-flight Gimbal Guard in the hands on review by Tested. It'll be around the 9 minute 30 second mark.
That's a silicone "slip" over the clear plastic bubble. It comes off and can be put back on, easily.
Thanks for this. I couldn't decide on the Mavic or a P4.
And what decision did you finally make? :)
i have a P4 but id love the mavic for travel
I will be ordering a Mavic Pro. I go cycling a lot in the summer months and this will be handy to carry in my backpack rather than my current P3S.
if its really only that and you dont mind the smaller FOV with the mavic, why not just get a mavic for size convenience?
***** I never said anything about wasting money...if its smaller youre more opt to bring it because its easier to transport and travel with
Incredible review and beautiful cinematography. Love the effort and production you put into this comprehensive review of the Mavic Pro, the images look amazing. I love cars, supercars to be specific and think the Mavic pro would be the perfect tool to compliment my car videos. Keep up the great work man. Totally awesome!
Getting my Mavic Pro by end of the month, and that was the most complete video I have seen about it so far on here. Thank you.
PS: Used ti live and work in Switzerland for 7 years. Nice to see your video around there. Brought some nice memories back too.
In case it wasn't already mentioned, that clear plastic bubble should be removed before flight.
The plastic bubble is only for transport...
Great video btw!
I know. But, as mentioned in several other comments already, it would have been a smart protection for the fragile camera. Stay tuned and fly safe!
Tom's Tech Time )l
, Peppa Pig Peppa Pig Peppa Pig Now Peppa Pigsbvjgf jk I gbchcvn haiku ln^'/;//###''';^?&
Wow, what a review, finally! So many reviews about the Mavic Pro on RUclips, but this is one of the best in depth reviews! Thanks Tom!
Wow, endlich das Review, welches so auf die Drohne eingeht, wie ich es mir die ganze Zeit gewünscht habe. Danke für dieses ausführliche Review!
most compehensive and detailed review till this moment on Mavic. Thanks! Great video!
plastic camera protective case wasnt meant for flying ..
Tom, I believe the lens cover is for protection during transport. could this be the reason why you saw propeller shadow reflections? also, iJustine's video has shown the propellers from the mavic during flight I believe.
RecordLifeMedia That's what I heard to. that the plastic bubble is just a protection of the camera and gimble during transport of the drone. it's not meant to be on the drone when you are flying and filming.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Nice car channel, liked your visit to creator store.
Truthfully, I want to keep it one for a few flights myself. I've seen the demo vids but I like the idea of extra protection for the lens and gimbal.
RecordLifeMedia Hey thanks man. The youtube store was mega fun! Just gotta get to 10K subs sharpish so I can get some merchandise in there LOL.
I've been dreaming about getting a Mavic and this weekend it finally happened... It makes me feel so happy to watch this video and have my Mavic right next to me... :D
Best vids on the internet, thank you very much. You've been extremely helpful!!!
Isn't the plastic bubble just a lens protector?
Could be used in sports mode if your not recording. AS your more likely to crash too. :)
Yes, its a transport protection.. djeez... that was BAD that he used that as a con :/
Yes, that is it's primary purpose. But when asked how to protect the gimbal during flight (like a Gimbal Guard for other drones), DJI themselves recommended that you use the plastic bubble in flight for that purpose. Currently, That plastic bubble is the only option on the market if you'd like to protect the very vulnerable gimbal in flight (when landing to be more specific).
Soy al único q le parece q este men se parece al JOKER🃏 de El Escuadrón Suicida ( la película)😂😂
jajaja cierto, es igualito tio
Jajaja sii loco. Te pasaste. Escuadrón Suicida. 😂😂😂😂👌🏻
Noch nicht komplett bis zum Ende geschaut, muss aber kurz loswerden wie geil deine Arbeit ist! Steckt sicherlich viel Arbeit drin. - Weiter so!
Hey Tom! thanks for this video! i just bought a Mavic today and i just CANT WAIT TO USE IT after watching this video :D thanks again for this video!
I know it's a new video because of the Mavic Pro, but it seems like an old video because of the Abercrombie shirt.
Dude.....you're not supposed to fly with the plastic bubble still on it. Its a protective cover for storage only lol
thanks Tom. really.
your video just explain it everything completely to the point. liked and suscribed , you're really deserve it man. keep it up !
Tom...Awesome video blog. It's gotta be the best I've seen. Keep up the great work.
Why would you put a bubble on when flying. That's not designed for that. What are you trying to protect against? Birds?
60 mb per/sec will not cut it. It would nice to see 100mb/per/sec
Best in depth review of the Mavic as of yet. Thank you!
By far one of the best Mavic Pro reviews. Thnx.
Whoever dislikes must have worked on the Karma ;)
It was really strange: within five minutes I collected 17 dislikes yesterday, right after launching the video. The people / single person didn't even have the chance to watch it. But who cares... Thanks for the comment, stay tuned and fly safe!
OK, but why do I have to "Watch this before you buy DJI Mavic Pro"?
Nick Plichta - Because you have nothing better to do since you can't buy the Mavic yet.
To make sure you're up and ready for such a great device! ;)
Clickbait.
lol ..thats rude
Thanks, I found the video informative, it confirmed much of what I had heard and seen before. This is the best review that I have seen to date. Thank you Tom.
Always great material on Your channel and thanks for sharing. Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter
You look like Milo Yanopopulupupulous
Why the hell did you not remove the gimbal and camera protector ???
He did, he only used it once for the shot during the sunlight to show the audience that the plastic bubble is unuseful.
Verena Reusch he didn't remove it at the beginning, so the drone wasn't fly ready... just saying. I know it's a small detail, but still
By far the best and most complete Mavic review I've seen.
A comprehensive and balanced review. Very well done video. Thanks Tom! Subscribed.
You cant use anything larger than a phone as a screen and no HDMI
Raptor50aus people will make something using 3D printer so u can connect larger tablets.
highks but even your phone still shows information like speed distance altitude and all, the controller basically shows abit more info as well as error messages like if your sd card isn't working or if something is wrong with the propes.
The see what you are filming its useless in direct sunlight.
Not true, if you go to one of the many Mavic pages on facebook you'll see there's already some pre-orders for a tablet holder for the mavic controller.
Slightlyevil oh cool
"Engineering plastic"? That's not a real thing.
do you feel stupid?!
No. The guy quoting wiki should though. There is no such thing as "engineering plastic". There's plastic. That's it. Styrene is styrene whether you call it "engineering plastic" or "model plastic" or styrofoam. There is nothing special about a plastic that makes it "engineering plastic". PEEK is plastic, polycarb (Lexan) is plastic, acetal (Delrin) is plastic, etc. etc . etc. etc. "Engineering plastic" is a marketing term. If I open a drawing for a plastic part it's not going to say "engineering plastic" it's going to have a designation that gives the base, any fill, additives, etc. For example:
web.rtpcompany.com/info/data/0200/flame.htm
Do you see "engineering plastic" anywhere on there? No. Because it's meaningless. In the immortal words of AvE it's "marketing wank".
Lol
"It's still a classification that business and manufacturers use,"
No. It's not. Nowhere in any of our specs, drawings, etc. does "engineering plastic" appear. Not once in any brainstorming session have I ever heard somebody say, "make sure we use engineering plastic". In fact if anybody did I imagine the looks they'd get would be along the lines of, "how'd you get in here?" Not once have I ever heard a plastics shop refer to anything we were discussing as "engineering plastic". Guarantee if you called a place that does plastic molding and said, "I need a quote for a part made of engineering plastic" they'd say, "have your engineer give us a call".
Oh hell, talk about useless pedantry.
Keep in mind the audience in here. I'd say the ratio of photographers to geeks to manufacturing engineers is around 150:75:1. The review is trying to convey that plastics being used here can take a hit better than the materials used in other products. Besides, there are plenty of companies that sell their higher-grade plastic materials as "engineering plastics". Curbell, Quadrant, Bay Plastics and DSM to name a few from a quick and dirty Google search. If its used in marketing materials, its certainly a good enough phrase to use in a drone review. Which, in essence, is just marketing. So good on you for cluing in the marketing thing.
TL;DR - Sure, we might look silly saying "I need this part made of engineering-grade plastic STAT" as a plastics engineer. It just so happens we're not in one of your brainstorming sessions. We're on RUclips.
This is the best review among others! how ever it spends my times but worth it. Thanks for sharing
Fantastic review! Best, most in-depth Mavic review so far. Thank you!
Did you get a lot of money from DJI? haha
Hey, I do not get any money from DJI. I get my money via several affiliate programs. Stay tuned, fly safe.
Yeah, you tell him. I've seen plenty of reviews out there and I'm hearing a similar views. I'm pretty sure I shall update my Phantom 1 with Mavic now :)
hi Tom, in the settings, can I change the Aperture to higher number so that I can capture sharper photos/videos while doing landscape photography/videography?
why are you so mean Smithy? why? why?
No I just aked him . No bad reason mate. calm down.
Im so absolutely pissed of I when heard that We in europe only have half the flying distance With this FCC And CE bullshit I bought this thing with the Idea I could fly a distance's over 7 km I will be sending it back Godamnit If I bought this drone from The U.S Am I still Limited to. European nonsense CE standards
I was thinking exactly this! Never heard anyone else say that before and has really put me off it.
still limited in europe, because the GPS decide for you, based on where you fly, even if you buy it in US.
I just was reading the same thing on some forums It really sucks in my opinion
so can see 5 km away? Are you aware of drone rules and regulations?
I'm a bit confused as to why not being able to fly 7km would bother you, though; it's as if you bought the whole quad for that. No one should need that distance really :P
Du hast alles so gut und präzise dargestellt, einfach super Video. Danke 🙏🏼
Great work Tom, so detailed. Really like your comparison sequences. You've got a great eye for shots too, aerial and otherwise.
Very good reviewing. You hit the important features and specs needed. Thanks! :)
Thats a great video! Love the detail and animations. I have watched over a billion drone videos this is amazing.
One of the best reviews vids. Thanks!
That was a great demo of the different top speeds on different modes, side by side by side.
The most comprehensive review I've seen!!! Well done
very informative and nice video. I just ordered my drone today after watched this video. I wasn't sure what i was looking for before. Thanks for the video

GREAT coverage on this product. ( I purposely let commercials play out b/c you completely deserve it. Thank you.
Well done.. Very informative.. I enjoy your reviews as you are always honest. Thank you..
Great review. During this days I have seen a lot of reviews of the DJI Mavic, but y you made, in my opinion, the most serious and accurate review. Thanks to share it with us.
good stuff buddy. helped me thru the beginning stages.
I really enjoyed you In-Depth Review. Great job!
I get your remark about the plastic camera protection thing but it's mainly for protection during transportation of the drone and not to be used during flight. Great video, loved watching it!
Great video!!! You really covered all the spots. Great job!!!!!
Love your video's Tom - Thanks!
Best review yet! Thanks Tom!
Great review, looking at getting one and this has helped a lot.
Thank you for the good information.
The best video about MAVIC ever seen.
brilliant in-depth review Tom, really appreciate your time and effort on this. there is so little information available on the official DJI website, but this was really helpful, well done.
Thanks for the video, very in depth. I have the Mavic on pre order, it's my first drone and I did get the insurance : )
Very informative...thank you Tom for taking the time to explaining all of this. It saves me from having to waste the time of a salesman without making a purchase..
Pretty sure this video changed my mind over the dji 3 and 4. Thanks again.
