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

There are actually some really solid reviews out there but we do our best to be thorough. 👍 Thanks for the kind words!

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.

how did you like it?

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

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.

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!

Thanks

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.

Sure, we would love to.

Brian Eastwood It can fly 1000km? So the Mavic can fly 7000km? Haha xD

haha,, yeah sure.. m.. sorry ;)

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

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

Kommentator It felt like 25-35 minutes to me. But a good 25-35 minutes.

Kommentator Time travel!

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 KZfaq without any problems whatsoever...

I sees dead peoples

Brian Levy Great !! can you tell me the KZfaqr name ,please I want to see that !!

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 .

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!

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

Ya it looks pretty cool

Guvius RATTPACK ALL DAY BOI PLP✌🏻❤️➕

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.

Has anyone at your shop gotten the new Mavic Pro Platnum? It's 11/26/17 as I write this!

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

0:40

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!!

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.

JC Chainz nothing compared to this however if you have a GoPro then you may buy the karma

JC Chainz LMAO ! That's what I think ; two years project ,a lot of money invest to built that shit ?

GoPro spent TWO years and finally released a foldable Phantom 2. Hope the Karma 2.0 can catch Phantom 3 in another two years.

Wow never thought my comment would get popular lol, I guess all you guys are right GoPro tried but they ultimately failed...

Well I think that anyone spending around a thousand dollars won't buy the karma 'just because' it's gopro. Honestly 1k is a lot of money, even for a hobbyist so if you already have the $400 gopro it might make sense to shell out the $800 for the naked karma. However comparing both drones, the mavic blows it out of the water only for an extra $200. Is the added range and obstacle avoidance worth it? I think once the drones are both out on the market and we can get a solid video comparison between the mavic and the gopro5 that's what is going to make people want to buy either of them

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

Inspire 2, I believe

DJI MTB edition! ))

DJI ZIPP!

DA WN DJI CUBE and DJI SCOTT are coming right after that

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.........

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$

Dr. Doom not when there are still 80 other houses right next to you lol

They already explained it -- variable focus. If you take off and shoot large scale aerial shots without focusing the footage will be poor, and FliteTest didn't know about this feature in their initial preview as well.

Yeah, I noticed that as well, it wasnt sharp at all compared to the Phantom 4.It made me wonder if there is a focus setting that can be adjusted (maybe something to do with the 25m thing??) The color range is way better though

It's as simple as tapping a distant object before or during flight, which will make the camera fix its focus to "infinity" and everything in the distance will be sharp. All the blurry looking footage is from people who either are not aware of the tap to focus feature, or forgot to use it for a particular shot.

RickJ im pretty sure casey kept the lense cap on and slash or he didn"t have infinite focus

KamoCubes Yes, he didn't focus properly, he mentioned it in a tweet later and he also wrote it in his description for his comparison video.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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. 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.

Flite Test could absolutely live with "no more free drone in future" though...
