If you have flown any of the DJI models, you will be familiar with the intuitive DJI Go app. The Mavic Pro also uses the DJI Go app so there is no new software or flight application to get used to. The Mavic Pro RC is very responsive to your touch. Its precision makes flying tremendously easy.

The Mavic combines dual forward and downward vision sensors to realize precision hovering. Therefore, it requires no more than a patterned surface and enough available light to be able to hover stably up to 13m above the ground. Even if the Mavic is unable to identify reference points on the ground, it can still rely on its forward vision sensors to hover. In contrast, an Optical Flow system, requires information from ultrasonic sensors to supplement its view of patterned surfaces.

A brilliant folding drone that handles like a dream

Lens FOV: 78.8° 28 mm (35 mm format equivalent) f/2.2 with distortion of < 1.5% Focus from 0.5 m to ∞ It’s the DJI Mavic Air that takes the Mavic Pro’s title as the best drone money can buy, however. It’s a folding drone, just like the Mavic Pro, but even smaller and with better video quality and superior object avoidance as well. Essentially, it’s the perfect compact flying camera and the only downside is that it has slightly shorter flight time at around six minutes than the Mavic Pro.

Tested with a DJI Mavic 3 production model in a closed environment in favorable conditions and an unobstructed wireless signal. Actual results may vary depending on environment, usage, and firmware version. The FlightAutonomy technology gives the Mavic Pro long range, high precision obstacle sensing. This new FlightAutonomy system scans its environment in 3D. FlightAutonomy dramatically increases accuracy and helps the Mavic Pro to locate obstacles around it.I’ve never heard of such a thing happening with a DJI drone. By contrast, the Mavic Pro feels supremely stable and reliable. More than that, it’s fun: you can enjoy the flying experience without having to worry about smashing into the side of a building, or careering into the ground. The Mavic Pro has a new “FlightAutonomy” system that uses multiple sensors to see objects up to 49 feet in front (15 meters) and help avoid these obstacles.
