DJI Mavic Pro Platinum

DJI Mavic Pro, Mavic Air and Spark, which one you should get

Jan 29, 2018 by Udi Tirosh 4 Comments

With the recent announcement from DJI about the Mavic air, DJI now has a drone at each $200/$300 step (give or take) from the $499 Spark*, through the $799 Mavic Air ending with the $999 Mavic pro (or $1,100 for the Platinum Pro).

But which is the drone you ~~want~~ need? With the steps being so small it is tempting to jump to the next level for just a few more dollars, but should you? Here is a breakdown on what each of those drones will do for you and which is better for each of their intended uses.

DJI updates Mavic Pro to make less noise with longer flying time

Sep 1, 2017 by John Aldred 2 Comments

We’ve been expecting an update to the DJI Mavic Pro for quite some time now. Released almost a year ago, the Mavic has proven to be extremely popular. People expected DJI to take the Mavic in a similar route to the Phantom. That is to have a few different models in the range with different features. Now, DJI have finally announced the DJI Mavic Pro Platinum at the IFA trade show.

I have to say, it’s a little underwhelming. There are a couple of neat enhancements, though. Firstly, the flight time has been increased by 10%, which is about an extra 3 minutes. They’ve made it quite a bit quieter, too, reducing noise by 4dB. It’s also had a new paint job. Aside from that, though, it’s essentially the same drone.
