  • 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.

      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

    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!

  • @AllThingsFilm1
    @AllThingsFilm1 8 лет назад +9

    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.

    • @TomsTechTime
      @TomsTechTime  8 лет назад +1

      Oui, oui. But it would have been a really good idea for some extra in-flight safety. Stay tuned and fly safe!

    • @AllThingsFilm1
      @AllThingsFilm1 8 лет назад

      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.

      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

  • @colin_rootz
    @colin_rootz 8 лет назад +54

    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!

    • @verenareusch6054
      @verenareusch6054 8 лет назад +1

      Hey, no, he shooted without the gimbal protector and without this plastic bubble :)

    • @colin_rootz
      @colin_rootz 8 лет назад

      Verena Reusch he kept saying that DJI should make the plastic bubble better so there is less distortion when shooting through it

    • @TomsTechTime
      @TomsTechTime  8 лет назад +3

      Hey, I shooted without the bubble.

    • @colin_rootz
      @colin_rootz 8 лет назад

      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!

    • @TomsTechTime
      @TomsTechTime  8 лет назад +3

      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!

  • @RecordLifeMedia
    @RecordLifeMedia 8 лет назад +17

    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.

    • @geneticpredator6473
      @geneticpredator6473 8 лет назад +7

      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.

    • @RawkustvOfficial
      @RawkustvOfficial 8 лет назад +1

      Thanks for clearing that up.

    • @RecordLifeMedia

    • @RecordLifeMedia
      @RecordLifeMedia 8 лет назад

      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.

    I believe the plastic bubble is just to protect the camera during transport.

    • @gergc4871
      @gergc4871 8 лет назад +1

      James Murphy
      that's correct. it's strictly to protect the camera/gimbal during transport.

    • @murph1414
      @murph1414 8 лет назад +1

      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.

    • @TomsTechTime
      @TomsTechTime  8 лет назад +1

      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!

  • @DronezurichChannel
    @DronezurichChannel 8 лет назад +1

    Cool review, looking forward for the new drone season (spring 2017) and thousands of people testing it before really considering to buy one ;)
    I'm curious to see your film school videos. I guess winter is more to sit at home and do video editing than filming. But it would be nice if you do some testing with snow and cold weather. I know that the DJI battery can be sensitive to cold weather. So it would be nice to see how the Mavic Pro behaves in such conditions. Keep us tuned and fly safe ;)

  • @Vikingdescendent
    @Vikingdescendent 8 лет назад +29

    Isn't the plastic bubble just a lens protector?

    • @EastyUK
      @EastyUK 8 лет назад +3

      Could be used in sports mode if your not recording. AS your more likely to crash too. :)

    • @ATN007
      @ATN007 8 лет назад +6

      Yes, its a transport protection.. djeez... that was BAD that he used that as a con :/

    • @Devonvp
      @Devonvp 8 лет назад +1

      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).

      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

    isn't the plastic bubble only for lens protection in transit - you don't need to fly with it.

    • @Devonvp
      @Devonvp 8 лет назад

      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.

    • @Devonvp
      @Devonvp 8 лет назад

      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.

    • @WrexAllen

    @svlibertalia468 8 лет назад

    Thx Tom. Your videos are always great. I really appreciate that you talk fast and get to the point without all the dribble. Reminds me of CNet. Very professional. Thanks! The big feature I would like to see on the Mavic Pro is a tripod mount. Then you could attach any old mini tripod (like a Joby) and have a hand held stabliised camera (A poor mans Osmo!).
    Also, did you mention the Mavic Pros wind tolerance? This is the biggest 'con' for me because we are sailing around and there is often lots of wind. I regularly push the boundaries with my Phantom 3, and I wouldn't want to go backwards in terms of the ability to drive through the wind.

      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.

    Superb review thanks! Question if I may? How close can you get with the camera to something - if doing a building survey on the tower you filmed for eg, could you hover within a metre and film the stone - or would the obstacle protection stop you? Could you stop above a chimney and look down it - I could do that with the P2 - but threw it away as too unreliable in the end. Many thanks! Pete

    • @sferrin2
      @sferrin2 8 лет назад +1

      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".

    • @sferrin2
      @sferrin2 8 лет назад +1

      "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".

    • @chrismullins8061
      @chrismullins8061 8 лет назад +4

      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.

    @davidboorman6128 8 лет назад +1

    Very well done Tom. Amazing job as always, I'm conflicted however as I just purchased my P4 less than two months ago. When you factor in the drone, plus two extra batteries, charging hub (it was a bundle and the college discount helped, 10% off) an iPad mini 4 , SKB hard case and ND filters, I'm at $1875 in. If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all. Suffice to say, I'm happy with the P4, if I knew the Mavic was coming I would have waited.

    • @TomsTechTime

    Seems like the Mavic Pro would not work well for indoor filming in low light conditions, since it has to rely on VPS? (How stable is it to fly with no positioning systems working?) Also, how does it do outdoors, but tracking while flying backwards, so the shot is of the front of the person running towards the drone? - thanks

    when you mentioned return to home, you showed a video of a rear facing return to home. is there a setting that turns the Mavic to Face home while returning? or can you turn it with the controller to face home? you also mentioned when talking about return altitude, that collision detection would aid int he safe return but that didnt make sense if the video you showed of a rear end return to home was the only way to get the drone back to home point. thanks in advance, excellent review!!

    Anybody else noticing the height differecne of the two rotor-blades at around 33:55 mark?
    When you look closely at the spinning rotor consisting of the two blade-halfs, one of them seems to be quite a bit higher.
    Coming from an DJI S800 which also featured the foldable prop design I know, that this can be the cause for some vibation issues and both parts of the prop should be as perfectly alligned as possible and when viewed from the side be exactly overlapping! Stichwort - Höhenschlag

  • @adamt.j5815
    @adamt.j5815 8 лет назад

    Nice video! Regarding the "shadows" created by the props. Are you recording in auto exposure? Then it might be due to high shutter speeds when the camera tries to correct the exposure. Because the aperture is fixed, the only way for the camera to adjust exposure is to adjust the shutter speed. A high shutter speed makes the camera more sensitive for the "prop shadow"/jello effect. The proper shutter speed should be in the area of frames/s*2. For example, 24fps*2= 48 in shutter speed. A proper graded ND filter should help you achieve correct shutter speed.

    One of the best videos of the Mavic. But i still miss two things no one mentions.
    1. Can you film with it still folded? like a slight bigger handheld gimball?
    2. What happends if you fly into a pole with one "wing"? Will it be a little folded so it crashes due to not beeing in right position or is the "wing" in solid position when flying? (with wings i mean the arms that hold the propellers)

    One note that would have been good to mention (unless I missed it) is that the Mavic is able to transmit 1080p as well as 720p real time video to your phone, while the Phantom 4 is limited to 720p only.
