DJI Mavic Pro Specification

Overview

The DJI Mavic Pro is a Multirotors drone that was released by DJI in 2016.

A multirotor drone is a multiple propeller, vertical lift drone. These drones are more maneuverable due to their flight profile, being able to fly much closer to buildings and other obstacles. Multi-rotor drones like the DJI Mavic Pro also tend to be faster to deploy, and tend to be significantly cheaper to acquire and operate.

The battery capacity inside is 3830 mAh.

Performance

The DJI Mavic Pro falls within an 'average' speed of drones with a max speed of around 65 km/h. If you're a beginner or even an intermediate drone user, than this should still be plenty. if you're looking for something a bit faster however, it'd be best to keep looking.

With a well above the average maximum range of 7 km, you're guaranteed a long-distance flight. Be assured you'll reach the distance you need, from the comfort of your mobile office, or even your couch, and know that your drone won't just disappear off into the distance.

The drone sits well within an average flight time when compared to other drones, with a maximum flight time of 27 min. This flight time will be plenty of the average user, and should give you more than enough time between charges. You can always bring an extra battery to swap out between flights, or just a battery pack to charge it up as you go should you need a little more flight time.

Speed demon, shutter bug, aerial acrobat - DJI’s latest drone does it all

Yes, the Mavic is expensive, but when it’s just about manoeuvrable enough for racing, takes fantastic photos and videos, and is simple enough to fly that even a total novice can do it without having to worry about crashing, it really does tick every box. Unless you’re a professional that needs an aerial camera platform for a hardcore video rig, this is all the drone you should need.

The Mavic Pro is an unbelievably tiny drone made by DJI. You can fold it up small enough to fit into a bag or large coat pocket. Packed full of incredible features, this drone is the best drone I have ever flown. While it does have its flaws -- particularly with the app, it is extremely impressive. You won't be disappointed with this drone.
