the leader of The drone public could not remain without a response to the announcement of the GoPro and its Karma. Here are the Mavic Pro, signed DJI and the design of which is not dissimilar to that of its competitor. For fans of Top Gun, his name resonates as a tribute to Maverick, the character played by Tom Cruise.
As the Karma, the Mavic Pro is a quadcopter which it is possible to fold the arm supporting the propellers, in order to seriously reduce its space during transportation. The dimensions of the drone folded out, are not communicated, but the photo below shows the compact size of the thing.
It may be even more compact than the Karma. As you can see in the photo below with the model of GoPro, the arms fold to the back, that lengthens and increases the volume necessary for storage.
the trend to the reduction in size and weight, which is here of 743 grams, is therefore excellent news for the users who are suffering from having to walk around with a big bag. Better yet, it is not necessary to disassemble the propeller to store the Mavic Pro.
A drone powerful…
That this drone is small and easy to carry and is all the more appreciable as it would take away anything from his performance. According to DJI, the Mavic Pro could fly for 27 minutes, and would have a range of 7 km. These possibilities will have little interest in France as to the rules of use of the drone laid down by the DGCA require the pilot to view.
The Mavic Pro can be controlled from a smartphone, or if you’re not afraid to charge you a little, via the remote control long range radio. The experience should be much better with this last one : the responsiveness of the joysticks is otherwise better than that of the virtual sliders on the screen of a smartphone.
as much as it will be better to master the machine. DJI states that the Mavic Pro features a sport mode that allows it to reach a speed of 64.8 km/h. it is hoped that in this mode, the 27 minutes of battery life advertised will no longer be available. This is on a smartphone or with the remote control, DJI states that the return video is in Full HD.
… and a very smart
Like most of the drones, the Mavic Pro features of the navigation systems GPS and Glonass enabling it to stabilize, not to fly in the unauthorized areas, but also to create flight plans in placing dots on a map (waypoints). This feature called FlightAutonomy in DJI goes further. As the Phantom 4, the Mavic Pro integrates sensors and 24 processors, which allow him to follow a flight plan while avoiding obstacles.
A function that should be bluffing, but that limits the travelling speed to 36 km/h… all the same. A function TapFly , you can even launch the uav to a point of the map with a single tap on the touch screen.
The function “return to the starting point” is also known on other models. Again, DJI goes further with its ” precision landing “. During the take-off, in addition to GPS tracking, the camera takes a picture of the floor to ensure a landing, according to the manufacturer, to the nearest centimeter.
And functions, this Mavic Pro does not lack. Let us look at quickly the mode ActiveTrack that allows the drone to follow a topic – including if it is a cyclist – a person or a car. The mode Gesture uses the camera to place you in the center of the image and thus create ” dronies “. DJI has even created an app DJI GO to share their images via Facebook, Periscope or even YouTube.
4K Videos and RAW photos stabilized
Finally, you will have understood, the Mavic Pro comes with a 4K camera (30 frames per second) stabilized for superb videos from the air. And photos also. In fact, the manufacturer stated that, it is possible to recover the photos “gross” , are the RAW, shot by a sensor of 12 million pixels.
The DJI Mavic Pro will be available from mid-October. However, it is already possible to order on the website of DJI for 1199 euros. It should be noted that a pack Fly More containing a second battery, propellers further, a charging dock, a car charger and a shoulder bag will be available for 1 499 eur.
