MavicBanner Heliguy has received an advance unit of the Mavic Pro from DJI and our team has been out getting to grips with the highly anticipated foldable quadcopter. Read on for our take on the aircraft’s performance and whether it lives up to the hype.

FLYING THE MAVIC

As expected, the Mavic Pro’s set-up is highly intuitive and preparation is minimal. It lives up to the marketing in terms of convenience and portability and we can confirm that it even passed the now synonymous ‘pocket test’. Getting the Mavic up in the air will feel familiar to all those of you who have flown DJI’s previous products, however, the one thing that becomes instantly apparent is the rock-solid stability. When left to hover, the Mavic is almost eerily still and even when you’re racing around and capturing footage, DJI’s experience and for in gimbal stabilisation really shines through. Having tested it indoors, we were able to really see what the Mavic was made of when we took it out in our flying field where (despite the North East's typically grey weather) we tested its manoeuvrability and handling. It’s still hard to believe that all of this functionality can fit into such a small aircraft but, having flown it, we can confirm that DJI hs somehow managed it. We also tested the camera alongside a DJI Phantom 4 to offer a side by side comparison. You can see the results of our time with the Mavic Pro in our video and photo gallery. NOTE: We can confirm, having spoken to DJI that our demo wasn't running the latest firmware and more updates for the craft are pending before launch.

To see how the Mavic stacks up against the Phantom 4 and GoPro’s first foray into the drone market, the Karma – see our comparison blog HERE.
