I love watching quadcopter vids because I'm a junkie, but when there's one that I am thinking about buying I always come here. Love the variety of reviewers on KZfaq, short and long reviews alike. This was as thorough as usual and for what this thing costs and is purported to do, the length of the review is appropriate and necessary.

Hi everyone. I would like to comment that I was not using the DJIGO 4 app in this Review. This was done with the original app. An oversight on my part and I will be revisiting the Mavic with the djiGo 4 app to see the difference in performance. Aloha.

I love how you're telling us exactly what you're thinking. This is great! Mental Vocalization.

Yes, it was a long ass video and of course there are a few things to learn however that was excellent and gave us all the info we needed! Thank you

Awesome video! Nice job and very informative. With that review, I ordered mine today. Thanks,

Thank you for putting your time in making this review. It was helpful.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Dustin. Finally the Mavic Pro!! Love the reviews. :)

Hi! Thank you for taking the time showing all those great features. I'm really consider buying one of these now! :)

This is one of the best reviews for the Mavic pro I've seen on youtube. Keep up the great work!

Exactly the kind of review I needed to see to help me decide. Awesome job. Picking mine up tomorrow.

I think this is the best review on the Mavic I've seen. I was really looking for something that somebody would just sit there and fly for the majority of the review and that's what Dustin delivered. I am convinced that this is my next drone. Thanks Dustin

I never comment on videos, but had to say a huge thank you for this one! I'm after my first semi-pro drone and this review showed me everything i needed to know. Thank you for such an in depth review.

brilliant video, really like seeing the unedited footage of you getting to grips with the Mavic as its all well and good watching vloggers who know how to shoot great footage using these things, but your video is far more real world and representative

What a review! I watched every single second of it I really hope I can save up some money soon to get one :D

Hey there. I just wanted to say thank you. I just bought a Mavic Pro Fly more which arrived today!. Your IRL walk-through is helping me a great deal! Thanks and subscribed!

Thank you for taking the time to do a full in depth review.. People that want to buy these UAV'S will appreciate it very much.. Thank You!!!

Nice video. I just got my Mavic Pro Platinum a couple of weeks ago. That’s an amazing piece of technology.

I watched your Spark review and flight test and I was really impressed. You and others have shown that the Spark is so much more than just a Selfie drone. But ultimately, I just ordered the more expensive Mavic because I've been wanting one for a VERY long time and I felt I would regret it if I did not. But you, along with several other very good KZfaqrs who do drone reviews, did make me question (over and over again), which I should buy. I appreciate your unbiased reviews and I'm glad you are in a position to be able to safely do these long range tests.

Bra thank you for this video! I just got a Mavic I went out a couple times but I learned so much just watching this. Mahalo!

I don't mind long videos if they are informative. I'm so glad you did this! Only wish it was 4K, but it's more about the functions than the resolution, so that's cool.

Very detailed review! Thank you for the time, and attention to detail.

Excellent review. Thank you.

The best review of Mavic Pro i am about to buy one but seeing this I might edge my bet on the Skydio 2!! Well done Dusty game changer for me. Thanks Brock

Love your detailed reviews man!

Great review! I wouldn't werry about how long the video is. You hit all or most of everything I needed to know on whether or not I'm going to buy this drone. Great job! Thank you.

Awesome review. Thank you. I learned a lot.

A great informative review Dustin. Enjoyed watching it. Looking forward to your coast/distance review. Thanks George. :)

a really really excellent review and very informative. very brave of you to take on this project.a big big thank you.

Great intro to the Mavic. Well done on reviewing some of the great features.

This has got to be one of the most beautiful places on the earth to do a drone review.

Great Video Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Captain drone don't have anything on you dustin, you always deliver excellent reviews, well done thumbs up. TY 4 SHARING

Good Review Dustin, That's a real nice drone. Happy Holidays

Thanks for an in-depth review and all the info that I might have to check out. I’m waiting for my Mavic Pro Platinum to arrive! I’m hoping it will come before our Hawai’i trip. Awesome extensive tutorial, appreciate the above and beyond video! Mahalo.

Hey Dustin! I watched this video a couple of years ago when I first brought my MP home, I haven't flown in a while so I thought I'd brush up by watching your video again..excellent video by the way. The first time I watched it, I think I missed the part that you were going to launch the craft from your flip flop 😂. Hope all is well with you, brother! Keep fighting the good fight and don't ever cease to do the range tests! Theres only one Jedi who has the courage to do distance testing at night time 🌒.. Peace be with you my friend ☮︎

I like these types of reviews cause he is still learning as he goes on so I feel like that it shows more

Thanks for making this video review. I am considering getting the mavic pro and have watched many reviews of it. Yours hit the spot, and I feel like I don't need to watch anymore videos to make up my mind. I'm sold. I felt like I was flying the mavic for the first time with you watching this video.

Love your vids mate.

Really great and full review. Congrats!

Exactly the kind of review I needed to see.

Great video for a first time drone buyer! Yes...the Mavic is the first drone I've ever used. I've watched tons of videos on it and this was by far the best. Great job.

Thanks for a really useful and interesting video. I ordered one for myself today.

DUDE STOP RECORDING AND BREATH FOR A SECOND LOL

one of the best videos about mavic pro

I love this review! I hope to be doing a review of one soon myself. I don't think I can top the detail and depth as seen here but I am really impressed with this review. Keep up the great work!

I enjoyed the thorough review Dustin. Thank you. It was a long video but you can fast forward through it if you'd like. I don't understand all the negative comments about the length. I just flew my brother-in-law's a few weeks ago (though yours was much more extensive) and now watching your video I find it interesting how your feelings match up with mine. Thanks again for taking the time to help others out.

Thanks for this great review. It made me want one even more! :D

Thanks a lot for a video. I wached all video and everything keeped me motivated. Lokking forward to buy one of them ;)

great vids Dustin. many thanks. merry Christmas and Happy New year. :-)

Great review. Thank you!

Just bought a spark but now this video make me want a mavic!

Very insightful video. Thanks.

Greetings from Sweden! I just got the Mavic Pro fly more kit and the goggles for 300$. Great drone! You, Sir, just got yourself a new subscriber!

Great Review, thanks so much

A very good comprehensive review of the DJI MAVIC PRO Great Job.

Brilliant review pal A+++

"I dont need no stinkin tutorials!" (Clearly needs the tutorials hahah)

Love the video. Usually, an app is the developers responsibility to make sure it works for that OS.

That is a tremendous Review ! BRAVO !

December 23rd and shorts and t-shirt, I’m so jealous here in the UK 🥶

nice video man !! i just bought the bebop 2! super stoked about the quad world!

I know was posted a while ago but great video. Watching all of your Mavic Pro videos while I await mine in the mail. Love how detailed this is. Assuming should not have an app crash issue now(hoping). I use iPhone 6.

I still fly my Mavic pro in 2023 after 6 years it’s still flying on same batteries even after not charging during lockdown period for 2yrs it still works perfectly, it’s the work horse of Dji

Great review, very interesting to see it in different modes, thanks :-)

For Photos, once you make the finger gesture, you have to spread them apart, and then in 3 secs it will auto take the photo (start your fingers close together as a small square, then spread them into a larger square)....just an FYI

Awesome video, thanks for doing this!

Great how you go into such detail with all the functions. Most reviews just cover whatever's on the DJI website and say how awesome it is. This is the video I wanted to see. The actual functionality, and controls. Thanks for that! 2 things though: 1. You might want to read the manual and prepare your presentation a bit. Although it can be nice to see how it is flying this thing without reading the manual, you were just going with guesses and trial&error. Even though I'm still waiting for my Mavic, I think you gave some vague or wrong info a few times. Some was corrected with text on screen. And, as you said in previous comments, using the newer DJI GO 4 app might've also helped when not reading the manual. 2. Can the beeps for the return to home and low battery be switched off? Or sound just once as a warning, instead of constantly? In the video they were slightly annoying. In your other video (part 3 - 6 mile in-depth range-test) they were messing up half the video (all the way during RTH).

Back when the portrait mode is kinda gimmicky but now is one of the main selling point of the newer drones

Excellent video! I enjoyed watching this video before I make my purchasing decision!

Nice video, a sub from me. Really liked how you put together the pros and cons at the end.

Excellent, as always.........THX Merry Xmas

It's intersting what happens over barely two years. The app is stable an safe now and supports the german language :D The autofokus is inkluded too. No need to focus manually anymore. I love my Mavic and it was interesting to see a review from the end of 2016 :D

Great overview of the Mavic! Thank you!

Very informative. I have a DJI Phantom 4 and now the Mavic Pro as well. I have yet to read the manual but have learned some things from your video. I have only had a few flights with the Mavic to date, but I am highly impressed with it so far. I believe DJI states you actually get better flight times by going fast in sport mode because it produces more lift in fast forward flight. Not sure if that is true or not, but I may test that theory in time. Do you, or can you produce a video going through all of the Mavic's settings, on what you would recommend they be set at, now that you have had the Mavic in the air for a bit? Thanks!

HO! HO! HO! A Dustin Christmas Special! :D Thanks!

Awesome vid

Wow looks like Santa was good to you this year ! Merry Christmas my friend may you and yours be blessed this holiday season .

Great review. I also have a Mavic Pro!

really great review! Thanks for sharing

Great review, thank you for sharing.

Already an idea when you will put the follow up here on KZfaq? Can't wait for it. I'm also very curious how it behaves now with android.

1 of the best drones! Nice video!

Brother im putting your video playlist on auto play for the next few mouths on the computer i never use. been watching your videos for while and dont see why more people aren’t subscribe so ill do what i can

Thanks for sharing, for sure more entertaining than reading the manual ;-) Any tips on dealing with sea mist? Just to think about it hitting the gimbal motors and that frontal fan gets me afraid of flying by the beach / over sea

Thanks for the video it really helped

Thanks for the review , nice machine, I think 2017 will see even more drone tech, well done, have a good Xmas and New Year..

this is the best review about the DJI mavic

Fabulous review! Can't wait until it gets a bit warmer so I can go flying! 13 today! I think that might be a bit too cold to fly?

Nice video's, keep up the good work. What does the Mavic do when it automatically returns home and then faces a detected obstacle? Will it wait infinitly at it's place (and finally crash), will it fly around the obstacle somehow or.. And is there a way to turn off the continuous beeping? Aren't the antenna's directional (you have them pointed them 180 degrees to each other?) Questions.. questions..

Since this review Dustin has the app been improved due to the crash issues that you have observed ? Also do you know if DJI and Fimi continue to do firmware updates long after the purchase of the drones or discontinue after new models are introduced? Thanks for another great review

I like the way you are doing things so far. (I'm only about 10 minutes in to the video.) Are you using the DJI GO 4.0 app?

Great video (I'm only half way through) and just subscribed. Can't wait for the Mavic Air version of this video. I have a question about the stick controls and setup. I see you're using the left stick for yawing. Since you're an experienced drone and rc pilot, what are your thoughts on using the right stick for yaw and the left for left/right? I believe that's customizable.

Great video. I am the same way when I buy a product. I want to know literally every little thing with the product. Thanks! I'm buying this soon, I'm so damn excited.

the best youtube channel

I've realized this video is 3 years old. But I've just gotten my first drone 4DRC F3 Nocchi and I've just turned off the optimization power mode so the app wouldn't be limited to battery use. That way you can avoid app crashes. 💪I'm going to upgrade to a Mavic once I get better at flying.

Olá amigo! Bom estou em dúvida entre comprar o Mavic Pro ou Pathom 3 Advenced. Você acha o Mavic Pro melhor que o P3 Advenced? Uma coisa que eu não gostei no P3 advenced é que as imagens aovivo dele trava muito "muito corte". Ficarei grto se poder me respoder. Tmj

well your reviews on drones have helped me alot to decide which one to buy. i have been watching your videos since 2 weeks just to figure out which drone would suit my needs and it seems mavic would be my choice. Plus i heard rumors of the mavic pro 2 getting realeased within a month?

just bought one and is still waiting for it to be delivered so ofc course im watching it all :D

Awsome review mate. Well done. Im looking at buying one soon. But ill do a bit more reasearch before i do. Any tips?????
