[@saintmichael5224]

Billy Kyle do a range test pls.

[@Qasibr]

Billy Kyle You say in the video that the Mavic fly more combo comes with a power bank adapter. What does it do? First time I'm hearing about this..

[@ethang105]

Qasim the power bank can charge up to four batteries one after another by just plugging them in to the four slots

[@ainjhel23]

Sorry to correct you, Ethan Goore. Qasim, the Power Bank Adapter is for charging your phone or any other gadgets after plugging it in on the power port of your mavic pro battery. and using the USB out connector to attach to your phone or gadget. The Mavic Pro Battery becomes an instant power bank.

[@ethang105]

ainJHEL oh that's what he meant. Thanks for correcting me. We can all learn something new, right?

[@elim4227]

I have had my mavic pro for almost a month and I love it. I upgraded from a phantom 3 standard which was a great starting drone, but the mavic pro has had no problems and is great for making short videos. I got the Mavic because I'm going to Alaska this summer and thought it would be great to hike and travel with.

[@FacPhoto]

I have both the MP and P4P and agree totally regarding the cameras. However, that's when you compare them directly. 99% of what people do with drones (i.e. posting videos on KZbin) really do not need to shoot at the maximum capabilities of the P4P. Beside this, i have the Mavic with me pretty much everywhere I go. So I still think the MP has more real world practicality than the P4P. Its nice to have both though. :-) Of course for Photography the P4P is a clear winner.

[@larzolub3650]

Do you feel the fly more package is necessary ?

[@tpfrk8977]

Seems like a review from a photographers perspective. I mainly just fly for fun

[@Floyd005]

The camera performance is like a crop factor vs a full frame, better in low light plus resolve more details (Phantom vs Mavic) however, if you are not pixel peeking or a professional, the average person will not know. The inspire series uses professional lens which outclass both Mavic and phantom series.

[@mikefas5406]

Floyd005 spot on. The average person is amazed with my mavic footage.

[@braydonedwards5670]

Floyd005 actually there is only ONE inspire camera that is better than p4pro camera, and that's the Zenmuse X5S which is 1800 alone. The p4pro camera is the same as the Zenmuse x4s! Look it up! The mavic cam isnt even comparable to a Zenmuse x3 😁😂

[@ZorbaTheDutch]

The Mavic cam has manual or auto-focus, the Zenmuse X3 is fixed-focus. Mavic lens is f 2.2, X3 is f 2.8. Yup, not comparable.

[@tolinof79]

the x3 blows the mavic away. it's a very sharp camera .

[@tpfrk8977]

The camera on the mavic is more than good enough for most people. If you are a professional photographer you need the best camera that you can afford.

[@DocentUSA]

I'm most likely not the first one who will mention it but Mavic's flight time is 27 minutes, not 21. Of course, 27 minutes is just on paper but I personally have up to 24 minutes of flight with a fully charged battery during calm weather and not flying it in sport mode.

[@Hollywood6566]

I've flown both the phantom and the Mavic Pro- I own the Mavic, small, smart and handles flawlessly in heavy wind. But one thing you didn't make a comparison on- the blades! Phantoms blade are fixed- bump into anything and your screwed, the Mavics blades fold, bump into anything and you have a chance to fly out of trouble because there is a little give because the blades fold.

[@Floyd005]

Daytona 6263 : try flying into a power line or a thin branch then tell me how wonderful your OA. works. I use OA. as a tool, I never rely on it 100%. I practice as safe flying as possible and never had an issue in the air so far.

[@Hollywood6566]

Well I will admit, I'm not too happy with the limited sensors on the Mavic but at this point I'm stuck with it seeing my wife will never allow me to go out and buy another drone. Too bad they don't do trade ins

[@rnburley]

I flew my Phantom into a wall (long story) and it survived. Still using the same props.

[@Kidsonss]

What height were the drones when you started filming at 5:58 and at 6:30 and finally at 14:49?

[@SBilbaoAlvarez]

Did you see the distorsion and aberrations on the left side of your p4pro footage? That is not normal..

[@michaelkaplan604]

Hey Billy! Any difference between the flight performance characteristics. Is one better or less performing of the other.?

[@donzi32boats80]

Watching the comparison, you did a short side by side then finished throughout with only the P4P. Do you really feel this was a true comparison?

[@bird-dog81]

Its gonna be better cos your paying alot more? Its like buying a standard golf with extras to a Gti or R. Compare the mavic pro with something in the same price range?

[@coxipops]

does the spark not come with a remote - you have to buy it separately?

[@RedDevilz88]

ben_mb yes unless you get the fly more combo which cost 699. That's the deal breaker for me. Getting the mavic next week

[@CoasttoCoastDrones]

I will say this again ...spark is over priced and under gunned

[@coxipops]

its not underpowered the camera is fine - its just ridiculous that they wouldn't sell a drone without a controller rendering it unusable

[@CoasttoCoastDrones]

in my opinion you need 4k to truly do anything with it so you have the option to down res .....otherwise as I've said before it was released its nothing more than a "social media drone" LOL ..not arguing ...just stating my opinion Peace be the Journey DT

[@CoasttoCoastDrones]

sorry but 1080p @ 30 fps in today's market very under gunned

[@buffaloweddingvideos]

I saw another video that seemed to say the Phantom 4 Pro ,you saw the propellers in the recorded video.I didnt hear you mention anything about that.I dont recall that even being a problem in your video.?. Do you just have your camera settings different so you dont show the blades.That other video seemed to be like you were stuck with them blades being in all the recordings ?.

[@kfk1998]

Hey Billy! My friend milo have the new mavic pro and have the same problem...5 miles per hour!!! 🤔any idea what is going on? Thank you.

[@cilthyfunt]

I haven't had any bugs with my mavic yet -sometimes when I stop I get a collision warning but I think it's just dust on the sensors

[@BonciuToma]

I have the Mavic for about 1 year now and everything was perfect until a point (about 4 months ago) from where the gimbal moves strangely in the beginning of a video or if I move the camera completely down. It's just a minor bug but it's there. Even so for me the Mavic is perfect because I'm a landscape photographer and beside my photo gear I carry in my backpack the Mavic is a small addition :)

[@oneanon]

If you had a choice between Mavric pro or Phantom pro plus which one would you choose please help me

[@billybraithwaite67]

Great video, quick question.. with the new pp4 v2.0 is there a black obsidian version planned ? Or would u just buy the old pp4 obsidian... decisions decisions 🤔

[@Emanuelp1231]

I too have had focus proble on my Mavic Pro within 1 month of use .....sent it back for repairs but it was more cost effective to get a new one ....took the new one out for first time and had exactly same focus problems what are the chances so I have upgraded to P4 Pro. I did love the portability of the Mavic but if only they worked I would have stuck with it.

[@RonaldBrown59]

I have been thinking about getting a Mavic once they get to the refurb store or go down in price when the Mavic 2 comes out. But I won't pay the full price because of all the issues you just mentioned. Or just wait for the Phantom 5 at the end of the year.

[@theowink]

i choose the mavic pro because i hate having a matras on my back..image mavic is good 4 me 1080p uses 99% ..

[@benniedavis1438]

I'm having problems with my phantom 4 signal keeps dropping out and drone goes into atti mode, could it possibly be my tablets?

[@robertosteen3436]

Hey Billy Can you buy the remote with the screen built on it separate from phantom 4 pro?

[@pioneeraerialimaging5036]

I don't consider this a comparison. I see this as a way to show you the pros and cons of both. Honestly it comes down to this. If you are planning to go professional then you should go for the P4P, been a commercial pilots we don't care about portability. if you going to be doing some mapping and professional grade work, I would suggested the p4p because of the mechanical shutter and 20 mp. Now if you just want to do it for fun the Mavic is perfect.

[@lf5133]

I bought the p4p, my brother bought the Mavic. He's hasn't had any of the issues u mentioned in this video and is very happy with it. I just got my p4p and your comments have confirmed that I made the right choice. My brother bought his for sport and pleasure flying. I bought mine specifically for video and plan to get my drone license to video commercially. Great information, thanks.

[@CharlesTLam]

Looks like the video is down...Billy did you delete it? Thanks

[@billykyle]

Lots of people experiencing playback issues. Not sure why

[@florisjanvermeer1525]

There are serious problems with Android and Dji products, are you flying with ios? Its very bad now, we are not using our Dji drones because the app is crashing constant or gives a compass error.... what do you think?

[@DannyKoo2]

Hey Mr Kyle, What would you say for the Phantom 4 regular vs the Mavic pro. I cant find a review of that on KZbin.

[@JermanRamirez]

Go with the Mavic it has the same sensor and the phantom 4, only slightly cropped in.

[@madda2012]

Could you connect any set of goggles such as a eachine v007 to the mavic

[@nicketten1232]

How does the Platinum close the gap?

[@edwinheijnen2403]

When do you expect that the 2nd version of the mavic will be released? How long do I have to wait? 😬

[@thomasrayborn3177]

Helpful comparison Billy... thanks for making the video. I don't own a drone, trying to decide what to purchase. You mentioned always flying line of sight. If the drones have a 4-mile distance, how can you keep your drone in sight? Do you mean keeping it in sight via the screen display? Thanks!

[@stanrytan4384]

Will you be able to do a video on Mavic Air high wind test between Mavic Air vs Mavic Pro vs Spark vs Phantom?

[@terriblete67]

The Average Consumer and Average Viewer of Drone Footage wont be able to nor care for the minute differences in Video/Pic Quality between the two. If your showing footage to a bunch of Photogs and Film makers then choose the Phantom but if your casually showing off footage to average people and consumers than I would choose the Mavic. (I have the Mavic). If Filming and Photography is your lively hood than choose the Phantom. I chose the Mavic for the portability. With my Laptop, Camera, and Lenses, the Mavic fits right in my bag with all those and I can move around with much less restrictions.

[@gundude500]

A week ago i bought the phantom 4 pro. Very nice and capable drone but i think i would rather prefer portability over the camera so i actually would rather buy mavic if i would buy a drone again :D

[@AndrewVSmith10]

Commenting on what you said around 4:15, I was on a mountain yesterday with my Osmo and when I was done I considered taking an aerial shot with my Mavic Pro from a distance (they don't allow flights from the mountain, itself). I was kinda rushed for time, but decided against it anyway because I'd rather come back to get that shot of the setting sun hitting the mountain using my P4PO instead.

[@richardt1]

Great video for new buyers good job. I noticed that the Phantom has a 5.8G option for video. Does that allow use of any 5.8 goggles such as those used for racing drones? Thanks.

[@DocentUSA]

I use record button a lot with my Mavic - never had a problem you are describing. It looks like you're out of luck, sorry to hear that.

[@honestreview9019]

whose range is better mavic or phantom?

[@azherhussain6746]

I just bought the Mavic pro...still in the box.........your videos had lots of good information. Thanks

[@tone1myth2ad]

Question,...... DId that last firmware update shut down your zoom function on your Mavic?

[@tone1myth2ad]

I use an Android phone. I personally hadn't had any issue with my Mavic till then. Yesterday was the first time i flew it in about a month. I updated the firmware about a week or so ago ( that's something i start the drone up for occasionally so on a day i want to fly i am not sitting there forever) But the 5D button wasn't functioning and i am aware it doesn't work in the 4k setting but it wasn't in any of those, suddenly i was getting strong interference to my remote,it seemed like the transmission to my phone froze for what seemed like forever hahaha, but was probably on a few seconds, but when flying and your drone looks like a spec in the sky can be highly stressful.

[@mrbmcgough3]

What about all the problems with the P4 battery problems? I tried charging 4 batteries and none of them charged.

[@billykyle]

Not a problem on my end. You could have some defective units

[@WPBSurfReports]

Billy, How well P4P+ monitor out in direct sunlight? Out here in Hawaii, my P4 with IPad mini in our hawaiian sun is a challenge to view. I'm always look for some sort of shade.

[@michaeluptain9843]

I have an opportunity to get the phantom 4 pro from a friend about 200 bucks off sticker price, and only a couple weeks used. I really want a drone with the best quality video and pics. Good deal?

[@tesimpamonami9188]

Like the video. I have my P4P, when I double click on my object, it zoom it for a second or two, do there is any settings or a way to keep it on zoom?

[@ZorbaTheDutch]

If you travel to your fly locations by car, the P4P's much larger size (especially in a good case with remote and extra batteries etc.) won't be much of a problem. However when you go walking, cycling, hiking etc. the portability of the Mavic Pro is a huge plus. It easily becomes the difference between actually taking your drone with you or not. Also, if you travel by plane, the P4P's size is big enough that you may not always want to take it with you. The size difference between the two and thus the difference in portability cannot be stressed enough. The Mavic Pro is also quicker to set up and fly and it has a far more convenient remote controller.

[@deetrott7464]

Hey Billy. Love your vids. Need your insight. I use an iPad mini 4 with my newly purchased P4P. I live in Texas. Now that temperatures are in the 90's my iPad flickers and glitches displaying a green and or black screen. This only happens during the day. I've only had the P4P three weeks. I returned it for a new one but had the same problem. Again only during the day. At night once the temps drop I have no flickering. It makes flying dangerous because it's hard to see. The video on the SD card is clear. Anyone have any advice? I've used airplane mode, and reduced brightness. Still didn't help. Apple ran diagnostics tests on my iPad and iPhone 7plus and found no issues.

[@deetrott7464]

Thanks so much for your reply, I will make the adjustments.

[@trelecompte1430]

I have the phantom 4 pro. Just got it a few days ago. And I’m disappointed in the range. I’m only getting like 1200 metered before I lose signal. What can I do to get more range and how much distance do u get on your phantom 4 pro ?

[@billykyle]

You could be experiencing interference, are you located in a city?

[@trelecompte1430]

Billy Kyle I am in a city bro but even earlier I went out of the city earlier and still only got about 2000 meters before I lost signal and had RTH

[@trelecompte1430]

Billy Kyle what kinda range do u get ?

[@dragoljubradoman1159]

Which is better

[@cilthyfunt]

i can't believe it - I started getting that bug where the mavic flies real slow - flipping to sport mode and back corrects it for me ,but it usually happens if I start off in sport mode unknowingly and then automatically have it in normal mode from take off ,then it happens ,but as I said just switch modes ,so far at least ,and it corrects

[@jthavorn]

Great video man! I have two off-topic questions for you if you can help me out. 1. Is it safe to assume that my mavic pro will be ok if I fly it over 2000 feet away in an urban and "noisey" environment? Never flown my mavic more than 800 feet from me since I find it hard to physically see and fear that I may lose signal with it. 2. How do you deal with birds? I can never seem to fly anymore without birds flying around my mavic and in fear that one of them will collide with it. Any advice on how to deal with that fear? Would appreciate your thoughts and keep up the good work man!

[@triptrish2]

Thanks for your comparison. My major problem is that the DJi Go 4 app keeps crashing on me (I have Android). I am already thinking of upgrading to the Phantom 4. With that said, I am very pleased with the video from the Mavic (with the right filter). I can only imagine how much better the Phantom will be.

[@sendesilva1857]

i thought the p4pro only has VISION sensors on the side and back etc not obstacle avoidance?

[@Pistonburn]

Front, back, sides and bottom and OA and it does work incredibly well even in thin branches. Obviously its a back-up and not to flown that way, but it saved me when I dropped down into a valley and had an instant disconnect. The video footage showed it maneuvering up and over trees and back home safe , but I'll never make that mistake again.

[@ottietibs]

Bro I share an inspire 1 with my father so would you say a mavic is better to have as a second drone? I don't like how big the phantom is, partially because I already have an inspire! 😂 what you think??

[@Shahumeen]

i think that you carry phantom because its' not cheep and everyone keep calling you did you get a phantom

[@babylon4953]

The camera quality between the mavic and p4p is negligible. It's not a big enough gap to make me wanna loose the portability and flexibility of the mavic. If I do whant to go with IQ. I'm gonna pick my inspire 2..

[@ScottSullivanTV]

Watch in HD or 4K. The difference is huge.

[@jussivalter]

Yeah, when I travel, I take my spark or mavic with me. But when I want to shoot for clients, I take DJI S1000 + gh5 with 2000e lens with me.. I think S1000 like big serious octa drones are much better than any inspire but anyone wont speak about those drones. My combo costs 10 000e with batteries.. But still love IQ of my mavic too..

[@RionPhotography]

Wow no way - P4 is way better image quality especially in less than full daylight.

[@captgeno]

Your videos looks clean!! I had a question, I'll be heading out to the oceano dunes here in cali, do you have experience shooting in sandy locations like that? All I have is a nd32 think that will be good enough or will a nd64 be needed? Thanks!

[@colby2150]

where's the new upload

[@tpfrk8977]

you had the flight time for mavic at 21 min. It’s rated for 27 min. Any reason for this?

[@billykyle]

Check the specs page. I listed the overall flight time not max flight time, considering you will most likely never get the full max flight time.

[@tpfrk8977]

Billy Kyle The max flight time for the p4 pro is 30 min which is what you listed for it. So you listed the normal flight time for the mavic but the max flight time for the p4 pro. Kind of apples and oranges isn’t it. Why not just list the max for both?

[@tpfrk8977]

I mean come on man. At least try and make an unbiased review.

[@DanLee53]

DJI gives MAX FLIGHT TIME as 30 minutes for the P4P and 27 minutes for the Mavic Pro. They don't show real world times for The Phantom. You're cherry picking specs to fit your narrative! It's funny before you got your P4P The Mavic was so great but now it's crap!

[@billykyle]

I actually got the Phantom 4 Pro before the Mavic

[@TheHotandshot91]

Dan Lee jealous much? lol

[@dougbell5160]

Great video Billy, how did you change your shirt just by clapping your hands? Really sorry your not having much luck with your mavic, I have really enjoyed mine. However, I just like you, LOVE my P4P+. I know mine is a plus but other than controller stuff (video screen mounted to it) they r pretty much same flying machine. You spent a lot of money on your mavic, are you going to send it back to get it corrected or fixed? Thanks for the great video and a good topic to hear about

[@billykyle]

Will probably just keep it for now, will see if things get worse

[@pcysneros]

When will macik pro 2 come out?

[@olesdyachyshyn6610]

which nd filter you use to Phantom 4 pro. whether to take with polarization filter ?

[@billykyle]

I use the ND8 filter from DJI. Haven't use many others except for testing purposes.

[@peterjmsyoung]

Hi Billy, I had the same issues like what you had with Mavic and even worse losing transmission control at only 80m and RTH kicked in (same testing ground for my P3 Pro). After reading DJI forums we are not the only one and they suggested turnng airplane mode on you mobile phone. I tested by turnng on airplane mode on my mobile, Mavic connections improved. I think it was a design flaw to place mobile wall to wall to the radio body which caused interferences. So I bought tablet raiser and issue seemed to go away even without truning on airplane mode on my mobile. Give that a go and let us know.

[@conedprepper]

what's the best setting for the Mavic pro for video

[@jitendragudi7090]

was waiting for this video from u keep it up!!

[@drethatbull]

I see that flyers banner are you in the Philly area I am too I need to know the best places to shoot

[@kevinwalsh7287]

I haven't had any problems with my Mavic but I agree with you completely. I use the P4P 90% of the time. One thing about the Mavic though, is that if you leave the props on, it is much faster to get in the air.

[@johnh.5779]

Don't forget about factoring in weather conditions- not for flight speeds but stability. I am frequently limited to fly my Mavic as it's often very breezy and I get lots of warnings. My P4 is much more stable/reliable/ heavier to handle the wind.

[@NOWitsOKto]

Great job Billy Kyle. I do have one question, that I think I know the answer, but I have yet to say anyone talk about with practical experience when comparing Phantom 4 (any model) vs Mavic and that is "HOW DOES WIND CONDITIONS AFFECT THEM?". Another might be will the Phantom fly in higher wind conditions than the Mavic or can both handle basically the same? I figure with you owning both for months, you probably can gave an honest idea. Again thanks for a great video.

[@trentsvacina55]

anyone notice how the battery life was wrong? mavic-27 and p4p-28

[@DownhillAllTheWay]

I don't have either drone, so I came here to gain knowledge, but I don't think I gained much at all. At 11:42, you make excuses for the clip being "a little bit biassed toward the P4P". I would have said it was hugely biassed. From there to the end of your vid, you list a litany of faults with the Mavic. Are these faults generic to the Mavic breed, or do you have a rogue unit? If the latter, then you're not really the right person to be making a comparison, because you're comparing a working unit with a broken unit, and if that doesn't cause bias, then nothing will. For a clip entitled "Mavic P vs. P4P", the comparison in videos at 5:57 - 6:56 are very poor. The first two shots are of the same subject, though the P4P gets much closer to it, and consequently shows more detail. However, there are comparable points at about 6:06 and 6:10. I was looking in 1080p, and took screenshots of both for comparison. There doesn't seem much between them in detail, but although I can't know the color of your grass, I prefer the colors in the Mavic picture. Judging by the length of the shadows, the time of day seems about the same, and the sun was shining in both (it didn't go behind a cloud). Apart from that, there are other shots from the P4P - but nothing more from the Mavic. A poor comparison in all, unworthy of your title. As a sales pitch for the P4P, it was great.

[@younghex9577]

Mavic pro is a bit delicate in my opinion. Minor crashes seem to brake the gimbal. but I had no problems with my Mavic. Just the gimbal broke twice now from two crashes.

[@stuart0604]

I love the Mavic but i was a bit disappointed with the image given the price tag.....i know its good but it does struggle a bit in low light which is when I'm most interested in shooting, dawn dusk etc, I'm thinking of selling mine and getting a used inspire 1 or something

[@Floyd005]

Stuart Dickson : Mavic pro has a fixed aperture, not designed for low light, plus it has a small sensor. if you have the funds, the interchangeable Inspire remote aircrafts are the best DJI has currently.

[@stuart0604]

yeah i know i thought i might just be able to live with it but am not sure.....

[@terryandteresa]

I had and loved my Phantom drone but I love my Mavic FAR MORE!! The best camera in the world is the one you have with you. I have my Mavic with me almost everywhere. My phantom was a suitcase load that didn't go everywhere. I will admit the p4p camera is better but not that much better. I'm very happy with the video I get with my Mavic pro.

[@soundboy1233]

What about the range

[@OzzieTech]

I also have a Mavic Pro and a Phantom 4 Pro and agree with everything you said. Though ive had no issues with my Mavic Pro.

[@PhilipFrancomb]

Soon after buying a Phantom 4, the Mavic was introduced, and I did wonder if I really would prefer its portability. But I never really felt comfortable about the folding Mavic. So when the Phantom 4 Pro came out with so many additional advantages over the Mavic, particularly the full obstacle avoidance, I was glad that I didn't rush out and buy a Mavic. And now that the Spark is here I will have everything, with ultimate quality from the P4 Pro Plus (I love the bright screen), and the fun and portability of a Spark that I can take everywhere.

[@atomicdynamo6062]

I like your no-nonsense style and good information. What do you think of the new Autel Evo?

[@bryanjhill]

Your videos are so helpful Billy, keep up the great work!

[@tazmavic1650]

I don't like you dissin my Mavic! Haha but I totally see where you are coming from. Mavic is my first drone and within price range that if I destroy it I will only cry for one week rather than 2 with a p4p. Sounds like you got a bad run with your Mavic though. Mine has been awesome and I am happy with it. But mother always said be happy with what you have got! Cheers

[@psacentralcoast6970]

Taz Mavic, original name dude, naming your self after a drone. So the Mavic is your first drone sweet I guarantee you it's not Billy's Or mine. First Mavic I got shot and flew excellent until it decide to land over water while filming a surf lesson. After 4 months and 45 emails later they still denied a fly away. I got a 60% refund from the seller instead. Now I've got another one and after 16 videos everyone shoot has a jitteriness like the video is wavering. Ive noticed others have had this problem. I love this drone but it seems one in three a crappy.

[@tazmavic1650]

Tamati Tapara thanks for the feedback. Yes this is a channel I started for the Mavic Pro footage as a keen hobbyist. I'm sorry about your experience with the Mavic Pro. It does seem there have been some issues out there. At the scale of production, and out of china, I can understand that the failure rate may be high. But I appreciate the technology enough to name my KZbin channel after the Mavic. Would use my name for the channel but it is quite a common name I have, unlike yours.

[@psacentralcoast6970]

Taz Mavic , thanks Taz. I will be making some videos of my experience as it has really hindered my videography. I'll let you know when I post them.

[@comecreatewithillbadaa5767]

Man your show is great and very informative. Man you should send your Nav back, been flying fur a few months, never had one of those issues with my MAVIC.

[@SheenHL]

I got the same prob u mentioned about the mavic camera disconnect

[@DRFord-dh6en]

I'm a beginner in flying drones starting out with a UDI U818-A Drone, & I eventually another drone with GPS & other functions, but my 3rd Drone after research were the Mavic Pro & the Phantom.4 Pro Would like to thank you for your very good take on both models, although you were a bit bias for the the Phantom 4 Pro, you gave great comparisons to both. My plans after my retirement is to make money for music videos & films with the "Phantom 4 Pro" I'will keep checking out both models for improvements in the Future...Thanks Dawg!

[@MidwinterEclipse]

Thanks for the video. What’s the song btw?

[@CNY_AP]

5mph flying might be when flying towards sun, it goes into obstacle avoidance mode. I don't own one, but I read that happens....obviously something is happening such as that.

[@terryandteresa]

I do envy the p4p camera but I'm more than pleased with my Mavic pro. It's so friggin easy to deal with compared to lugging around my suitcase when I had a p3s. WAY, WAY WAY EASIER!! My camera is totally fine for my real estate videos and hobby photography. My next drone will be an inspire or matrice 200. I want to eventually get into mapping and industrial drone uses. I am very coordinated and extremely careful. Attributes needed for commercial drone applications.

[@belgiumwafflevideos8996]

N'th DEGREE AERIAL PERSPECTIVES so you're happy using the Mavic for real estate clients? I have been thinking of getting a Mavic, but I was worried it wouldn't be good enough for real estate!

Thanks for the info. You're quite good at narration and production quality of the entire comparison was refreshingly crisp and well organized.

Your review much helpful. Having difficulty deciding on the MAVIC or P4 Pro for my second drone. My Autel X Star is ok. But, I'm definitely wanting better quality...

How about SPANK combo fully optioned not 4G but who care , u take wedding funtions

Says that price and portability are most important but then says that he doesn't want to shoot with the Mavic which excels in those categories because the camera isn't as good?

Great stuff man! Just starting to look at drones and this was very informative. Great content

Hi Billy Good video as usual. I bought the Phantom 4 pro plus. I am very happy with all facets of the quad apart from the attached screen. While the screen is bright and and able to see whats happening more easily a bigger screen would have been preferable.

Hey Billy, You made me make up my mind between the P4 and Mav. I finally bought the P4 PRO+. Just love it! Many Thanks.

You forgot to mention how the props show up on the p4p in forward flight unlike the mavic. Great vid though. Really informative.

[@martinhupka5668]

Thanks, Billy! Your video really helped me to decide and go for the Phantom. Cheers buddy!

Some filmmakers are actually pretty positive about the Mavic Pro, but it's logical that the more expensive and better specced Phantom 4 Pro has better video results since the camera is targetted for better video output. I think the first generation Mavic Pro's had their quirks (from what I heared because of high demand at DJI and lower inspection standard prior to shippings). Maybe a DJI Mavic Pro with a 1" sensor camera would be best of 2 worlds.

Sorry to hear you been having problems with your Mavic! I've had mine since January and it works great! I can understand y you wouldn't give a good review to a product that has failed you time and time again! I love my Mavic and i wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Although the Phantom 4 pro shoots in 4K at 60fps id prefer the portability of the Mavic. Now im sure handling the Phatom 4 pro at high wind speeds would be ideal here in Chicago but i love how discrete and quiet the Mavic is. I prefer flying and not having everyone stop and stare at the drone. Im sure the Phatom 4 pro draws alot of attention. At the end of the day it all comes down to what are you looking for in a drone. Great video!!!!!!
