How does the Mavic fly? Effortless - and fast. Flick in Sports Mode, and it will hit frankly scary 40mph (at a loss from this obstacle collision, mind), but even with its regular settings, it's a responsive flyer, spry, instantly acting on your control inputs. Despite this speed, it is also possible to make precise changes, which is important if you are difficult on your images.
It also rises and falls to a fast-paced speed, allowing you to set it up for aerial shots and important videos without consuming too much battery life. The actual battery life accurately reflects DJI's claims, so in normal mode, you can expect approximately 27 minutes of air time per charge (and much less in energy-hungry sports mode). Restoring an empty battery at full charge takes about an hour, so it might be worth investing in extra batteries (at £85 per battery) if you plan long driving sessions.
Images and photos, meanwhile, look excellent. The 4K videos are so crisp that you will not believe they come from such a small camera, while the 1080p clips do not have that impact, but compensate with a fluidity of 60 fps that in some case, you may be better. That said, even with the 30 frames per second that 4K clips run, I did not notice any major issues with the shutter - just a slight shudder when panning.
12 megapixel JPEG files also have a glorious impact - although zooming in on your computer's screen reveals that the images are the clearest or most crisp. You can also shoot in RAW, which should allow you to edit and "fix" problematic photos.
DJI has also released an updated model of dji mavic pro, called Mavic Pro Platinum. This has 60% quieter rotors and a 30 minute flight time.
