This is the review everyone's been waiting for. Nobody else has the guts to test drones in these conditions. Great review as usual. It's incredible how stable it is and the long battery life means you have more confidence in sending the drone out to nowhere and know that it'll have enough juice to fight the wind to get back home. Next up ... active track test with the trees. You should floater on that test to make sure you can get it back cause you know it won't be as good as the Skydio 2. 😃

In 2012 the internet was full of DJI customers complaining about fly aways. And now, 10 years later I see a video where at nasty conditions a DJI drone holds GPS position, delivers perfect vids and is still in full manual control of the owner. Outstanding!

Just like real professions use GoPro's in production work (in very specific scenarios). It's using the right tool for the job.

Hey Ray.....super video mate...I particularly like the pan around the zeezand ship. I've flown an inspire 1 for years and want to mention some things to you. Naturally these are completely different craft yet in my first week of owning the inspire I flew mine over the sea making a video for the R.N.L.I here (british lifeboats)....I don't know if you have sonar on the belly of the mavics but if you do please note particularly on a sunny day .....the reflectiveness on the sea surface under the radar on the belly throws sonar into confusion.....point being my craft erratically Heightened and lowered when flying only a few metres above the sea surface.....so if you do have sonar on your mavic belly be aware of this. Another thing is when i flew over the Isle of skye the properties in the rock on the mountains did affect the compass readings (magnetic differences within the rock) it may affect calibration and compass bearings within some rocky zones. Lastly SEAGULLS!....Once I made the mistake of flying around the English cliff coastal zones and it was in the gull nesting season....they mobbed my inspire 1 and didn't knock it but when reviewing post production footage came dangerously close to it at speed.....to be honest with you I think you will be okay with your mavic and certainly in sport mode. I after having used such a big craft for yrs definitely want one of the mavics with the hassleblad sense as it is a real nuisance to hump an inspire 1 on a rucksack up mountains etc. Also my flight time at very best sits around 18 mins ....and when flown in icy conditions in mountains is realisticly around 12 minutes ...not enough time to film in a relaxed manner. I have also learnt that the right mavic can do all that an inspire 1 can do and the hassleblad lense is certainly better than the original Inspire 1 sense/camera....I really want that extra flight time too.....Thanks for your super vids....well produced, effective and to the point...hope my tips will be useful to you .

Though, it's actually funny - we've seen a pretty big shift in the last 10-15 years where in the high tech sector, for the most part what we as consumers buy tends to be ahead of what they use. There are rare exceptions, but not often anymore. That's largely because of the glacial pace of government procurement, as well as various approval aspects. Certainly there are cases of tiny drones in that space (intel/defense) that only endless buckets of money can buy, but from a day to day standpoint, it's why we see the DOD and others gravitating towards Skydio and other commercial companies.

@@Dcrainmaker Back in the mid 1980s, we were working on the precursor to digital photography at Lockheed Missiles and Space. To maintain secrecy, we bought software from Lucas Films and created our own schematic capture that ran on the largest computer network in the world at the time. We created an entire layout group to produce the 15x15 inch PCBs of which there were 55. I designed the 4-bit 100MBit/sec ECL (Emitter Coupled Logic) interface board. We built a 100 million dollar manufacturing facility in house with automatic storage, retrieval, and delivery of parts to the assembly line.
