DJI Mavic Pro Review, Specifications, Features & FAQs

We tested the standard DJI Mavic Pro package, which includes one battery, a charger, a protective cap for the camera, two replaceable screws, remote control, and several wires for it, a 16 GB memory card, instructions, and a warranty card. All this fits in a box with a minimalistic design.

There is also an extended configuration with an additional charger, a bag, two additional batteries, and a charger for the car. We went by the way of retrofitting the standard version with the accessories we needed.

Although DJI has newer models than the Mavic Pro on the market, this drone is still an excellent choice for drone enthusiasts. It’s super stable during the flight, can capture great footage, and it has super flight time. Here are all the Mavic series from DJI.

DJI Mavic Models

DJI Mavic Air – this is quite a small drone that is meant for selfies and fun. Consistent with the very affordable price, it can be used for a variety of purposes.

DJI Mavic Air 2 – This is the upgraded version of Mavic Air and offers slightly better features than its predecessor. It has a flight time of over 30 minutes, high quality camera, obstacle avoidance system and much more.

DJI Mavic Mini – As the name suggests this is a very small but powerful drone with a great price. Regardless of its size, this drone has a super camera, it’s very portable and you can even carry it for a walk.

DJI Mavic 2 Pro & Zoom – These are already more advanced and higher quality models from DJI so is their price. These two models have everything you need, from HQ camera, collision avoidance system, obstacle detection systems, follow me mode, etc.

DJI Mavic Pro – OcuSync System (Live HD Transmission)

The new DJI OcuSync technology (2.4 Ghz) was developed especially for the Mavic Pro. This technology provides a better return video signal at 1080p (HD) and reduces latency. Mavic Pro range can reach up to 4.3 miles (7 km) with this system, which puts Mavic Pro ahead of the competition.

Here DJI decided to put aside the transmission via WIFI and develop a new OcuSync system. This system uses better digital signal transmission and compression technology for HD quality video transmission even in high interference environments. Another advantage of this is it allows signal transmission in 720p or 1080p and virtually without latency.

I find the signal really better on the Mavic Pro, compared to my Phantom 4 Pro which sometimes loses the signal (especially the video return in 4K at 60fps). You can see this great youtube video that shows the Mavic Pro range test.

What Is The DJI Mavic Pro Flight Time?

DJI Mavic Pro Review Full

The max flight time of DJI Mavic Pro is around 27 minutes (no wind at a consistent 15.5 mph), while the average flight time of Mavic Pro is around 21 minutes. This model has a longer flight time than most other consumer drones on the market.

Note! DJI Mavic Pro Platinum has a flight time of 30 minutes.

DJI Mavic Pro – Max Speed & Max Height

Although we have already listed the DJI Mavic Pro specifications above, we will explain them in a little more detail here. The DJI Mavic Pro demonstrates good flight characteristics and can reach the maximum speed of 40 mph (65 kph).

The Mavic Pro max altitude (max service ceiling) above the sea level is 16,404 feet (5000 meters). This is the max altitude that Mavic Pro can reach. Keep in mind that much shorter distances are required for aerial photography. The higher the drone is in the air, the greater the chance that the wind will affect its stability.

We have put a video link that shows the Mavic Pro that reaches the height of 8200 feet over the sea in the island of Milos.

DJI Mavic Pro – Obstacle Detection & Collision Avoidance System

The Mavic Pro features an in-flight obstacle detection and avoidance system similar to what the standard Phantom 4 offers. That system is called “FlightAutonomy” and can detect objects up to 49 feet (15 m) in front. The Mavic Pro takes advantage here of two stereo cameras on the front of the drone which will allow your quadcopter to better locate itself in its environment by carrying out a 3D mapping of it allowing it to avoid the various obstacles in its path.

The difference here with the Phantom 4 is the presence of two sensors and cameras on the underside of the drone allowing it to better manage takeoffs and landings and also improving the positioning of the drone during indoor flights (Vision positioning system and sonar).

The Vision Positioning system (which also has the Phantom 4 Pro) allows a better analysis of the altitude in flight thanks to its cameras and sonar. Be careful to deactivate it when you fly over water or any other reflective surface.

Personally, I only use it for indoor flight or when my GPS signal is weak because I find that it tends to create rather unpredictable parasitic movements sometimes during the flight, especially at low altitudes. However, it offers a landing of great precision using the two cameras positioned under the frame of the device.

DJI Mavic Pro Flight Stability

The Mavic Pro is an overall super stable drone in flight, especially if you have the ability to lock multiple satellites (over 15). Coupled with the Vision Positioning System (VPS), the rendering is rather stunning with a drone that maintains its position perfectly even with a light breeze. 

I have tested the Mavic Pro in winds of around 25 mph (40 km/h), and I must say that it has nothing to envy to the biggest models in the DJI range! Be careful, however, if you do not have a lot of satellites available, the drone will automatically switch to Atti mode (manual with windward drift) if you descend below the bar of 10 locked satellites. 

DJI Mavic Pro Sensors – Visual Positioning System (VPS)

The Mavic Pro Visual Positioning System (VPS) improves the landing (Precision Landing) of the drone by combining its GPS sensors and its 2 cameras that are located on the underside of the drone. As on the Phantom 4 Pro, the drone takes a photo of its home point on takeoff and then compares the data at the time of landing to land to an identical place. In my tests, it works well when you take off from a place with enough contrast, to be recognized by the sensors.

Be careful when you put the drone down! The DJI Mavic does not have a great range on the ground and it could happen to you bad luck if you do not lay it perfectly flat during a manual landing in strong winds! Consider using a landing pad here or extensions to increase the range of the drone on the ground. 

I do not recommend attempting a hand catch on this model, because the propellers are really super close to the drone frame! The camera is also fragile, so try to be as gentle as possible with your sticks to gently pose your drone.

DJI Mavic Models – Pro, Platinum & Alpine

There are 3 versions of the DJI Mavic models. The DJI Mavic Pro, Mavic Platinum Pro, and Mavic Pro Alpine. In this article, we will cover also the DJI Mavic Platinum Pro version, so let’s continue.

DJI Mavic Pro Price

DJI Mavic Pro is sold through the network of official DJI resources, as well as through all well-known Internet trading platforms such as Amazon. Depending on the configuration, and packages that include extra batteries, carry cases, chargers, spare propellers, and more, the price varies.

  1. DJI Mavic Pro – $ 799
  2. DJI Mavic Pro Fly More Combo – $ 979

DJI Mavic Pro – Firmware Update

To update the latest firmware version on your Mavic Pro drone you use your PC or tablet. We connect with a DJI Mavic Pro cable, the program checks the relevance of the firmware version and the remote control. The update process takes 3-5 minutes on average. From here you can view the flight map, make the calibration and simulate flights.

DJI Mavic Pro – 4K UHD Video On A Gimbal

The Mavic Pro comes with a great precise 3 axis gimbal camera that has the ability to capture HD videos. While the drone is in the air, it can capture 4k video at 30 fps. However, for general public use, the average user will be very happy with the qualities of this camera, especially as UHD / 4K files provide a very sharp and flattering rendering of landscapes. 

DJI Mavic Pro – Camera Specifications

The camera uses the same sensor (1/2.3″) as the Phantom 4. It shoots video in resolution from 4k@ 30fps to 1080p@ 96fps and shoots 12MP in DNG format. The angle of view compared to the Phantom 4 camera is now 16 degrees less (94° to 78°). But the lens aperture has increased, Phantom 4 – f/2.8, Mavic Pro – f/2.2, which is good news for those who like to shoot in the dark.

There is also a transparent protective cover for the camera, but it has a bad effect on the quality of shooting.

DJI Mavic Pro Intelligent Flight Modes

The DJI Mavic Pro comes with 3 intelligent flight modes. The Tripod mode reduces the maximum speed of your drone in P mode, which has the effect of limiting the speed on your drone. Excellent for flying with increased stability and smooth planes!

Since the v01.03.0200 update of 12/26/2016, DJI has added a Kinematic mode for all users who sometimes complained about the hypersensitivity of the sticks in flight. A rather nice mode that attenuates the sudden movements of your drone and its nacelle (especially on the Yaw) in the manner of an Osmo and will offer a much more “cinematic” rendering to your shots.

DJI Mavic Pro Terrain Follow Mode

The DJI Mavic Pro can activate the terrain follow mode which follows a person while maintaining a constant altitude. For example, if you are running, cycling, or walking, the Mavic can follow and record you and stay at the same level all the time.

DJI Mavic Pro Design & Portability

One of the main advantages of the DJI Mavic Pro is its size. When the drone is folded the dimensions are 83 x 83 x 198 mm, which means that the drone can fit everywhere. You can easily carry this model every day in your bag or backpack. There are even belt mounts. A drone that is always with you.

These dimensions are obtained thanks to the foldable design. All four wings are folded. Instead of removing screws, it is now just enough to position them along the body. The take-off mechanism is also retained and carried over from the Phantom.

DJI Mavic Pro Operating Frequency

The Mavic Pro has a WiFi operating frequency of 2.4 G / 5G, while the operating frequency on his remote controller is 2.4 GHz. It has a fairly strong and stable frequency.

DJI Mavic Pro Remoter Controller

DJI Mavic Pro Remote Controller

The DJI Mavic Pro controller comes with some qualitative changes. When Mavic is assembled, it is comparable to a 5-inch smartphone. Before you start using it, you will need to install a cable with a connector, that is located under your phone (the kit includes micro USB, USB Type-C, and Lightning). The controller can be useful for transferring FPV images to the smartphone screen and additional control options.

Most modern smartphones support this RC, including oversized phones. Don’t try to put a tablet in it – it won’t work. An exception is the mini iPad tablet. 

The inner part of the controller is rubberized to avoid scratches. On the front side, there are a pair of sticks, a monochrome display, and several buttons. There are triggers and buttons on the back. Management in the future can be adapted for yourself. The display is not designed for FPV, instead, use your smartphone or DJI Goggles for the first-person view.

Note! You can also charge your mobile phone through the USB socket that is located on the bottom.

Mavic Pro Review – Frequently Asked Questions

The Main Differences Between the Mavic Pro and Phantom 4?

If you already own a Phantom 4, you won’t notice a big difference in photo/video and in-flight quality. The main advantage of the Mavic is its portability and compactness. Another great advantage of Mavic Pro is its new OcuSync transmission system which provides a longer range and better resolution.

The Phantom 4 is a bigger drone and better withstands stronger winds than the Mavic Pro. DJI Mavic Pro is perfect for travelers and other nomads who are constantly on the move.

Main Difference Between the Mavic Pro And Phantom 4 Camera

The Mavic Pro’s image quality is very similar to that of the DJI Phantom 4, except that the latter’s camera angle of view is wider (20mm versus 28mm on the Mavic). Nevertheless, the behavior of the camera is very close. In photography, the image is very clear in the center, with a very sufficient rendering of details in the lowest sensitivities of 100 to 400 ISO. 

The only camera difference when it comes to Phantom 4 is that it has a larger Field of view which makes this drone better for aerial photography or filming. Depending on your level of requirement, the image will be usable for publication on the networks like Facebook, but be careful when printing.

DJI Mavic Pro Questions: Remote Controller & WiFi

Difference Between DJI Mavic Pro RC WiFi vs RC Smartphone

The Mavic Pro’s remote controller uses OcuSync technology which increases the range of drone up to 4.3 miles (7km) without interference. Not only is it very compact, but it is also the first time that a controller from the Chinese manufacturer has integrated a telemetry information screen on which we can check the height, the flight modes, the GPS connection, the speed, the transmission signal strength or battery level. 

When we are using a smartphone via WiFi, it has a flight range of 262 feet (80 meters), which is much less than when we use the controller. The normal USB cable can be used for Mavic Pro remote controller.

DJI Mavic Pro WiFi Password & SSID Security

Each Mavic Pro has a unique SSID and password that is located on the sticker on one of the forearms of the drone. This is for security reasons. If you are using the drone for the first time, you can scan the QR code by using the DJI GO 4 app and you will connect to your Mavic Pro automatically.

Advantages of Dual-Band WiFi on DJI Mavic Pro

The advantage of dual-band WiFi on Mavic Pro is that you can choose between two frequencies, 2.4G and 5G WiFi. The 2.4G WiFi is older, and the vast majority of drones use this frequency, unlike the 5G that is newer and fewer drones have the ability to connect on it. Therefore on Mavic Pro, you can choose between these two bands in the DJI GO 4 app menu.

Smartphone Size For Mavic Pro Remote Controller

The size of smartphones that the Mavic Pro remote controller can accept varies between 6.5 to 8.5 mm thick up to 160 mm long. If your phone is larger it won’t fit into the remote controller holder of Mavic Pro.

DJI Mavic Pro Video Transmission

The Advantages of DJI Mavic Pro OcuSync Video Transmission System

The new OcuSync transmission system gives a Mavic Pro a range of up to 4.3 miles, which few drones can. The DJI Mavic Pro can shoot 4K video at 30 frames per second. The 3-axis gimbal provides a smooth picture even at high ranges thanks to OcuSync. 

Resolution of Mavic Pro Live View Using OcuSync

The resolution that DJI Mavic Pro can transmit using OcuSync is 1080p/30 fps. Snapshots and videos can be activated from the smartphone screen or using the buttons on the remote control. During the flight, frames and videos with a lower resolution are immediately transferred to the smartphone’s memory.

DJI Mavic Pro System Features

Difference Between Quick & Advanced Calibration On Mavic Pro

There is no difference between quick and advanced calibration. When you find yourself in a situation where the Vision System fails and your drone is not functioning normally, then you can do a quick calibration by using DJI GO 4 app or you can do an advanced calibration by connecting Mavic Pro to a tablet or computer.

Difference Between Vision Positioning System & Optical Flow VPS

What Mavic Pro uses to maintain precise hovering is the dual forward vision sensors. To do that, Mavic needs only a patterned surface and light to position it self very stable above the ground.

If Mavic is unable to identify reference points on the ground, it then uses forward vision sensors. When it comes to the Optical Flow system, then the drone uses the information from ultrasonic sensors to position it self in the air.

DJI Mavic Pro Flight Speed & Obstacle Avoiding System

The Mavic Pro has built-in sensors that can detect obstacles in front of it. The detection range at which Mavic Pro can avoid these obstacles depends of the speed at which the drone is moving. The max speed that Mavic Pro can fly and to be able to avoid obstacles is 22 mph (30 kmh), while the sensors can detect obstacles 50 feet (15 m) in front of it.

Required Conditions For Mavic Pro Precision Landing

Mavic Pro precision landing needs a GPS signal that is strong enough to allow the drone to land at the identical location from which it took off. This is a much better version of GPS RTH.

What the drone has to do is scan and recognize exactly the pattern of the ground from which it took off. If you are taking off from the sand, it’s very hard for the drone to scan the precise take-off spot.

The reason this is so is that the Mavic Pro needs to capture footage from the take-off position. That’s why when your Mavic Pro takes off, you need to wait for a little to scan the spot and then fly.

DJI Mavic Pro Charging Questions

DJI Mavic Pro Quick Charging Battery System

The Mavic Pro drone comes with an intelligent  battery system that supports a quick charge and has a charging power of 100 W. If you want to know more about battery life, you can read What Happens When Your Drone Runs Out of Battery.
