Phantom vs Mavic - Which to Buy

[@BrainstechKnowlogy]

ill go for mavic. thanks a lot for the comparison. im starting a vlog soon so ill buy one for filming. =) thanks

[@abescha]

Brains techKnowlogy

[@ChuckyLad]

All copters use less energy when flying forward compared to hovering as they get extra lift from the forward movement. That being said, the Mavic is probably still more efficient when moving

[@tybrady64]

Phantom 4 Pro has a better camera, but that Mavic sure is portable.

[@roberttornes8999]

mavic has a better camera lol xD

[@paulu_]

Robert Tornes not true

[@austinsherwood7188]

Pawel Orzechowski p4p is 20 megapixel camera

[@albthepker]

Pawel Orzechowski the phantom 4 pro can shoot 4k 60fps 20megapixel 100mbps bit rare footage, the quality is miles ahead of the mavic. I am talking about the PRO specifically though, it has a much MUCH better camera then the original phantom 4 original.

[@albthepker]

Daytona 6263 no it doesn't shoot in raw ? Maybe the phantom 5 will but no I don't mean raw footage. The sensor had a huge upgrade in the camera between the 4 and 4 pro and just watch some proper videos comparing the footage between the two, huge difference in quality now.

[@chestypullerfan2]

Thanks Ready Set Drone for your non confusing, and very informative video comparison of these two DJI drones! A quick question if I may. I am a old guy that is into model railroading and taking photos of trains so I can paint up some for me and my grandson. Momma (the BANKER) would probably beat me if I spent $1000 on a drone to take those pics, even if I enjoyed the drone flying too!), so my question is, what is a drone in the $300 and below range that in your opinion, would be a good choice for a half-blind klutz (I destroyed multiple COX airplanes as a kid, trying to take off!!) and would have an acceptable camera resolution + range( probably not more 500 yds). Any suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks for the comment. Based on your criteria, I would suggest picking up a Phantom 3 Standard. I think you can get them for around $300 and it has acceptable camera resolution and range. You might be able to find a used on on eBay for cheap too. Thanks for watching!

[@user-ll3lc4ek3t]

+Ready Set Drone may i know the actual price of the phantom 3 standard . thanks

[@gailraby1722]

+Wong Jian Rui 3 standard on ebay between £300-450.. be perfect for what you want, great camera, easy to fly, good flight times and more than enough range. you'll pick one up for close to 300..

[@TheARTdragons]

I recently bought the P3S for $330 from DJI refurbished so it is like new and have been loving it. The price right now is $400 but if you watch it for a while it should go down again around major holidays.

[@williamcolwell5490]

Ready Set Drone Thank You! Keep up the great work. I hope to view more of your videos.

[@shp9175]

Time to start saving

[@edwardbristow2276]

SHP did you save enough?

[@shariff4175]

Yea also curious, were you able to buy one?

[@timrobinson9192]

Although I will never own either of these quadcopters , the video was very informative , and interesting : Thumbs up Kelly :)

[@yeitmejoe]

Tim Robinson haha same here

[@vibol03]

why not? im sure you can spare $1000 if you really want to.

[@timrobinson9192]

I couldn't even spare $10 lately lol

[@MasteringHow-To]

Tim Robinson work hard and I guarantee you can get one. Make it your goal! Hustle. You can do it.

[@zombeesama1169]

bruh! same... but if i do i go for the mavic for its portability

[@drewmorg.]

Mavic vs. Phantom 4 is not even a question anymore... Mavic does many things the Phantom cannot do, and the Phantom holds very little over the Mavic and it is more expensive. Really tough to justify at this point... Phantom 4 Pro however is a different story ;)

[@ninjanaws8533]

The phantom 4 is better

[@dustin8513]

Thanks for the comparison !!! I've been watching you for several months, but this is the first time to write. Oh... you're the best drone columnist!!!

[@realistindenial]

Nice comparison, but it's incomplete without talking about the controllers. And I'm not a selfie person, but I think the gesture technology is pretty cool.

[@ragdollcatteryacatstale4810]

Thanks for this great review, i will buy the Mavic pro because i live in Belgium and here it’s not allowed to fly with a drone that weighs more then 1kg without having a special license for flying bigger drones. The Mavic is very transportable and very nice low weight so i can take it everywhere with me in Belgium without license.

[@readysetdrone]

Great choice!

[@christianchirino1614]

Am I the only one that likes the drone noise

[@steveyg777]

Am i not right in thinking it plays audio via the phones screen and can record via the app? I'm sure i heard something like this

[@OldManRacingUK-USA]

Great noise!

[@IROC-ROB]

Over all I like the Mavic Pro better; however, I like the video on the Phantom 4 way better.

[@gusthedog]

Thank you for that amazing video. That really helped me!!

[@lukassutrisno]

Thanks for the summary, Now I have DJI Phantom 3 Pro and will buy DJI Mavic Pro, unfortunately in Indonesia has not been sold.

[@Sanuske4]

Phantom 4 and Mavic are pretty much the same price. Also you probably aren't getting a Mavic anytime soon! The stock is so backed up. I am waiting on my pre-order.

[@Sanuske4]

***** Well I certainly do.. I am waiting on my Mavic. Sure anyone else planning on ordering one would care too.

[@brazkat1750]

I ordered mine back in October, still waiting on it. Glad I'm not alone ;)

[@oscarpoll4324]

Have you received your mavic yet?

[@wilvalkie3822]

Jup, If you are looking to buy the DJI Mavic, definitely check out this deal: sites.google.com/site/djidiscountdeals/

[@lg8285]

I want this drone for my hubby's b-day, is it too cheap? Thanks! www.amazon.com/Holy-Stone-F181-Quadcopter-Headless/dp/B00SAUAP5C/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1493086319&sr=1-3-spons&keywords=drone&psc=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=product0d4-20&linkId=c3e74d1a1be3ee6d83cf5152443af8e2

[@DelvisD305]

Wow! Perfect video like for you! I just bought a new DJI Mavic Pro I love it.

[@rcOhio]

Can't wait for my Mavic to arrive! It feels like it's been forever since I ordered it! Actually kind of has been..... October 15. If I'm ever concerned about what people think about my quad, i

[@rcOhio]

..... I fly my Inspire. Always a crowd pleaser!

[@andrewsmith7693]

Just gotta keep waiting homie, ordered mine 10/04 and its coming in on 12/06

[@rcOhio]

Andrew Smith congratulations buddy! Glad yours is finally coming! I'll certainly keep waiting, as I really want it...... just irritated with DJI as usual. They definitely make the best products hands down but they know we can't get products anywhere near what they produce anywhere else..... their customer service repeatedly shows that. It's like dealing with Rc4wd.

[@robinlopez1909]

You will love it...i got mavic pro platinum is amazing!!!

[@PW.1993]

Go loyola! haha I liked that selfie pic at the end This is the best drone review channel ive found on youtube. Liked and subbed, thank you for this review. Very well done

[@mrpielover615]

i bought my Phantom 4 just a couple days ago when It was on sale on Amazon for $899, so it was cheaper for me :)

[@CalebEckenrode]

Best comparison video of the two!

[@TAPPChannel]

I just crashed my DJI Phantom 4 into the water... That latest firmware update cost me a 900$$ Damn you DJI!!!!!

[@simulatedpilot3441]

How

[@wazpie1]

Well that one is not DJI’s problem

[@jboyer1028]

I really appreciate your no-nonsense straight forward videos. Very informative.

[@GadgetInspector]

I'm so jealous that you have both of these things. I'm shooting for the Mavic though. Thanks for the vid.

[@FAU4U]

As a teaching pro at a major 30,000 student university, FAU, the issue of f2.2 vs f2.8, this is a relatively significant factor on how much light strikes the images. About 40% more light with f2.2 optics will illuminate its imager as compared with f2.8 optics. Otherwise we like your videos.

[@readysetdrone]

Fair point. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

[@IaninLondon]

Both of these are roughly the same price though; that's why I compared the Phantom 3 STANDARD with the Mavic... for someone starting out who simply can't afford a Mavic or who doesn't want to trash a $1,000 drone whilst they're learning..... Cheers, Ian

[@readysetdrone]

I agree that if you are just starting, a P3 is a great way to go!

[@IaninLondon]

Exactly! :) My video shows the only two main differences are the size and range.... The camera on the standard is actually same size sensor and pixel resolution as the Mavic! Which is a little surprising given the price :) Great vids as ever guys Ian

[@codybassett8183]

the p2 is better then a p3 standard wtf r u talkinhg about that thing is garbage at least p2 has no height restriction. im gonna get the mavic for 745

[@minicooper6296]

Good stuff!! Although I bought my mavic pro, I just listened to the entire video to find out what's in phantom 4 and the difference. Good job!

[@SamChristopher5]

Thanks dude, you're a huge help. Keep up the good work👍🏽

[@mmsizzlak]

FINALLY, a message delivered the way it's SUPPOSED to be: honest and straight forward... No bull... Thanks, now i KNOW which one I'm buying

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks for watching!

[@DistantShoresTV]

I'm a sailing filmmaker and will be trying to hand catch my drone (after I've gained some experience with it :-) so thanks for the heads up catching the Phantom. Have you got any resources on learning to hand catch or otherwise working from a boat? If you had to guess, how many times will I hand catch the drone before I drop it? I assume I will lose the drone so I am looking at cheaper older Phantom 3 units :-)

[@readysetdrone]

+Distant Shores TV It is actually pretty easy to catch the Phantom. Just be sure the boat is not moving and you have GPS on the Phantom!

[@DistantShoresTV]

When you say "have GPS on the Phantom" do you mean do I have GPS on the iPhone I control it with? I was afraid we'd have to stop... harder on a sailboat unfortunately...

[@AnglerDanNE]

get the Phantom 3 standard, that is what your looking for. Has gps built in and has live live to your phone.

[@georgeaura]

I don't get why they didn't put legs on the back of the mavic

[@vitopoljicak6605]

george aura ikr

[@fish4fun354]

Maybe to try and make it lighter.

[@JJPJack]

Maybe for those legs on the bottom that push in when you land.

[@theflashingscotsman]

It's all about the foldability and small package for backpacking it.

[@PinchnerHouse]

george aura - Mavic flies, it doesn't walk or run, so legs would be unnecessary appendages. It stands on its little back feet just fine.

[@StuGreenTech]

Great review , I’m thinking about adding the mavic 2 zoom as my second drone to supplement my mavic air. I actually feel the phantom is starting to look more like a toy to be honest. Maybe the phantom line needs to die as the mavic is really just a slimmed down phantom with folding legs, the actual guts of the machine are likely almost identical.

[@almostserious75]

Cmon tax money, Phantom 3 will be in the mail...maybe even delivered via another drone lol...

[@JuhaKauppinen]

"I also believe they have the same lenses." And in the next sentences you told us that they are totally different.

[@matthewsabin8562]

I watched this vid multiple times because I'm looking to buy a Dji drone and this really helped thank you

[@readysetdrone]

RIGHT ON!!!

[@SinkyYT]

I watched on another channel a guy talking about how hot the Mavic gets during a flight, especially the heatsink on the bottom. I expressed concerns about folding up the lower props against the heatsink directly after landing due to this heat but the guy ignored my question. Do you have any similar thoughts/concerns about this?

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks for the comment and question. Yes. When you land it after a long flight, the metal on the bottom is pretty warm. However, the whole point of the heatsink is to dissipate the heat, which it does pretty well. The legs are made of a very hard plastic and I don't see the quad getting hot enough to affect them at all. I would not put the Mavic back into my bag right away after flight. But after 5 minutes, I think it would be fine. Thanks for watching!

[@thomaskolb8785]

Thank you for this great comparison - excellent for me, looking for a replacement of my Phantom 3. A lot is going for the Mavic, but I cannot help noticing the staggering difference in image quality. The Phantom is tack sharp, while the Mavic looks positively unfocused. Check 15:23 - the left side of the image is not just a tad soft, but quite frankly totally blurred. I don't think I could accept this subpar image quality and I am just about to cancel my order. Did you set the focus correctly?

[@MrPixelgrower]

Just coming at this as a 35 year photographer, 2.8 versus 2.2 does not provide THAT much extra in the way of depth of field (distance in focus). I don't own either of these, but am thinking of the Mavic some day soon. Maybe the 2.2 aperature is causing the softness on the Mavic, also lens build can make a difference. Maybe there was a dud lens element in the test Mavic. Hard to say..?

second career for me. rather than doing what I trained for , am now going back to school for skill set in AUVs; looks like masters is best option. dont go for the 1 day wonder courses" on be a drone pillot; is not what the industry is looking for ..you have to have some STEM ability...if you cant get past basic math, physic, stats, et al...or think you could learn it with motivation, dont bother. UAV jobs ; you need some basics math, chemistry, IT, physics, stats knowledge. if you dont have it...start at a community college and take nothing but STEM....and IT...you CAN get there!

[@Kwad.Kev2]

4 years later the phantoms are replaced by the Mavic

[@TheSkyPod]

Nice comparison . I would think if someone is going to show up as a professional to a wedding event , they might be bringing an Inspire instead of either of these 2 . IMO . I have both of these and think I am starting to like the Mavic more because of its portability . And an ipad mini 4 fits in the Mavic controller without too much effort.

[@groundup001]

Lol "I think it's quieter. It's doesn't have the 'voooshh voooshh' with this guy"

[@bryanyoung8372]

That was a well prepaired and helpful comparison.

why aren't there any American designers to build a drone and have to depend on Chinese technology this is a decrace

[@lucienbridges1810]

Just received my Mavic Pro (Ordered in Oct) Thanks for the comparison and look forward to flying. It also appears that based on the production delay the price has escalated. The prices I'm seeing are mored geared towards folks that are reselling (upwards to $1500-1600.00)

[@peterkerr8913]

Phantom 4 Tip over on landing is a clasic. If you are on a dock or boat or bridge.... this can be a disaster. I am sure you can learn to avoid it, but it takes a lot of practice.

[@Stellarffxi]

I do a lot of photography and just wanted to mention... a 2.2 vs a 2.8 aperture is not negligible. As the aperture numbers get smaller, the difference between the numbers has more of an impact. I'd have to do the math, but I'd guess the 2.2 lets somewhere around 2x the amount of light as 2.8.. maybe a little less..

[@minicooper6296]

Good stuff!! Although I bought my mavic pro, I just listened to the entire video to find out what's in phantom 4 and the difference. Good job!

You do some seriously good review's comparisons,I'm researching drone's,so your reviews are the best I've seen.Thank you & Happy Christmas.

Just a note to say you can use an iPad mini with the controller, you just have to disconnect the side USB cable and plug one into the bottom. The gaps in the side of the controller clamps hold the corners of the iPad.

Thanks Ready Set.. l appreciate the info, I was reading my comment and I see that I have the word magic instead of Mavic. I think spell check put it in there and I didn't notice it.

[@purge98]

The reason why multirotor batteries last longer in forward flight is due to the fact that the blades are more efficient. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translational_lift

Thanks for the fine Pro Presentation. I'm new to the Drone mindset, so I'm trying to gather info. on what and if I want to fly.

[@DabidRobinson]

I like the Mavic mainly because of the portability!

[@CatamaranImpi]

Great video presentation - thank you. I was wondering if I could catch my drone on our catamaran by simply putting out a large, wide aperture catch net, and fly / drop the drone into that net. Would the blade rotation stop when it hits the net or would we do damage? I do not like he idea of catching the drone by hand and we want to film the boat under sail. I look forward to some valuable comments around this ... Cheers for now Brent

[@PatrickConlon]

Nice video, a sub from me. Really enjoyed the comparisons between the Mavic and Phantom 4 Pro.

[@JAROCHELOcesarcastro]

He is so right about the PRO LOOK when you show up to do a job. That comment is just on point. I’m a sound engineer and as soon as I got the wireless iPad controlled mixer people reacted like if I was working for a major artist!! Psique

[@justflo1735]

Currently I fly the Yuneec Typhoon G and I am not happy with it. I have do decide between the P4, Mavic and the P4P, here in Germany the p4 cost only 1050$ and the Mavic is way more expensive. Or is it worth saving 700$ and buy the P4p? Because of the Typhoon G I am used to carry a larger drone, in my view the P4 is quite small :p wich drone would you buy it the p4 is the cheapest?

[@readysetdrone]

It depends on why you fly. If you are a serious photographer or videographer, then the P4Pro is worth it. However, if you are more of a hobby photographer and like to fly for fun, then the original P4 is great. Plus the price for the original P4 is going down. Hope that helps and happy flying!

[@dunnoyolo2238]

Can both drones see cable , power lines so it won't crash into them ?

[@readysetdrone]

I am planning to do some testing to see how small of obstacles they can see. But as of today, I would NOT trust the obstacle avoidance to see power lines. Best to stay away from those! Thanks for watching!

[@gamestarnick225]

based on my opinion! well.. it is better for bigginers and i am one!

[@larshangartner2140]

The Mavic has a horrible image sensor. I owned a Phantom 3 Professional, and now I own a Mavic. Latter has a) a horrible picture settings out of the box, but those can be tweaked, and b) a horrible sensor. When shooting in raw, there are literally hundreds of defective pixels, some of the defects are more than 4x4 pixels wide. And of course, the notoriously bad customer service at DJI refuses to exchange of the defective device. So if you get a Mavic, shoot some raw photos and look at them undeveloped.

[@readysetdrone]

Hi Lars. Thanks for the comment. Honestly, I primarily use my DJIs for video and rarely for photos. And when I do shoot photos, they are always JPG files. I realize that's not the best way to do it, but it meets my needs. So the information about shooting photos in RAW with the Mavic is good to know! Thanks again and I wish you the best!

[@michaelsevens]

Fantastic Review!! Still have a hard choice in what to buy!! They're both so good!!! Most likely, The Mavic Pro - Platinum... I am going to watch that video next.... Go Texas!!!

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks for the comment! You made my day!

[@sledgehammer1570]

Hi. Not here to bash you, but i think you're wrong about the footage quality comparison. The Mavic has problems with aliasing at higher framerates. (above 30fps) Also called "moire effect" Can be seen in this video at 4:17 in the golf flag's pole and edges of the windows of the houses. It is a camera limitation and can not been fixed by firmware update. Not a huge deal for everyone but for me it was a dealbreaker and i ended up getting the Phantom. Also it is cheaper in Finland than the Mavic. Phantom 4's camera simply is better. These are aerial photography tools and the most important thing is the camera. Also seems to me that your Mavic's lense's left side is blurry? It is a reported issue also.

[@readysetdrone]

Fair opinion. Thanks for watching!

[@pacificdronepilots4763]

You've had the P4 for "almost a year"? It wasn't available until March 2016. LOL! Also, most quadcopters use less power when going forward (conservatively) than when just hovering. Hovering takes more energy and moving forward produces more lift to help ease the power consumption.

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks HB. Good comment on the motion forward.

[@EricSNeitzel]

Really great video!! Thank you.. I will most likely get my feet wet with the Mavic then move into the 4 Pro plus down the road once I get comfortable with my piloting skills and keep the Mavic as my travel buddy.

[@cessnaskyhawk7612]

Ready Set Drone thanks for the advice and keep up the good vids

[@antiNuetron]

Yes. Its a very capable drone, and only $400 right now. I have a Phantom 3 Advanced which has the same cameras. The only difference is it has sensors to fly inside, but it doesn't do it very well, and I don't have much need for it. And I also have a Skyhawk.

[@777geeman]

totally i have one still, pro plus though with low noise props. Theres no way i land it in sand or dusty terrian like when out fishing. Also its better in the often stronger coastal winds and can safetly deal with 800gms lift. i'm getting a mini 4 pro for its weight (249gms) and ease of portability.Thanks for your thoughts even several years later.

Thanks!

[@TacomaTraveler]

Your comment about what drone is more professional looking is absurd. I hand catch my Mavic a lot and Casey Neistat has show it to be easy to do as well. My iPad Mini fits just fine in my Mavic controller. Flying a drone does not require a giant screen to fly.

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks for all the corrections! I'm sure that my audience appreciates your insight.

[@ryanhenry21]

Mavic footage looks better in my opinion.

[@caibentley5772]

I'd rather the phantom 4

[@dannyguitardrums]

Yeah, I can see why if you have money. Go for it! Unless you already have it. Most people don't have that much money and they see that somehow something cheaper has better options.

[@rexmarkman2157]

I wouldn't say so, the mavic is basically the phantom 4, but is half in size. The phantom 4 has a slightly sharper picture, but the Mavics footage can just be increased in editing.

[@PinchnerHouse]

Purple Pieter - I have both. I like the Mavic much better. Phantom's bulky and loud design has been made obsolete by the Mavic.

[@mharro88]

Don't like either too expensive and they are made out of cheap plastic!!! Break easily...$200 G5 GPS drones are just as good 👍 Don't waste your money on these expensive ones!! Mavic or Phantom horrible experience.

[@rhodaslifka826]

The Mavic Pro would be more visible if it were white like the Phantom rather than dark grey. As a newbie I will try to find out if the DJI equipment is EASIER to control and fly than other quadcopter. The Mavic appears to land itself but not sure if this function will work indoors. Any and all comments are appreciated by this beginner. I do not want to crash a $1000 investment !!! OR am I starting off with the wrong machine altogether?

[@Ozzie4Para]

So...... $200 less, more light time, more range, much smaller footprint with huge portability options. Hmmmm, which one should I pick? lol
